But remember, right-wing extremists, not jihadis, are the real threat.
“Suspected Islamists kill nine civilians in central Mali,” Reuters, March 1, 2021:
BAMAKO (Reuters) – Suspected Islamist militants riding 4×4 vehicles and armed with machine guns killed nine civilians in attacks on three villages in central Mali late on Sunday, local officials said.
Two different sets of assailants struck the ethnic Dogon villages of Gorey, Simikanda and Djamnati in Mali’s Mopti region, which has been ravaged in recent years by Islamist and inter-ethnic violence, the officials said.
Moulaye Guindo, the mayor of Bankass, which is near Gorey and Simikanda, blamed the attacks on the same militants who killed eight people in attacks on a Malian military post and a gendarme base last Thursday.
Islamist groups linked to al Qaeda and Islamic State regularly attack Malian security forces, U.N. peacekeepers and civilians in the area, and they have stoked ethnic conflict between farming communities like the Dogon and Fulani herders.
Guindo and Yacouba Kassogué, the deputy mayor of Doucoumbo, which is near Djamnati, said four people were killed in Gorey, four in Djamnati and one in Simikanda.
“They attacked, set fires and stole cattle,” Kassogué told Reuters….

Militants shot and killed villagers and stole their cattle; hmm those right wing extremists have sunk to a new low, they are behaving just like Muslims these days.

For over half a year in 2020 left-wing extremist groups, especially BLM and Antifa, burned, looted, killed, destroyed, etc. in one American city after another and not a word from Christopher Wray, Director of the FBI, but now he is echoing what Democrats have done, projecting left-wing extremism onto conservatives en masse, ignoring the extremism on the left and demonizing the mainstream right. Of course, this also entails overlooking Islamic extremism which is existent around the world, as for example in Mali.
For the record, those Bozos who breached the Capitol on January 6th neither represent over 99% of Trump supporters nor should they be exculpated from prosecution, but they now serve as an excuse to tar conservatives across the board as extremists and the Swamp which is DC, as exampled by a most putrid man, Christopher Wray, is only too ready to go along with this malicious and mendacious rot.
Hiding all the heinous aspects of Islam and hiding all the heinous aspects of Leftism are two sides of the same coin, a very tarnished and debased coin. Much trouble ahead first and foremost because the Western Left is destroying the greatest civilization ever, i.e., Western Civilization. What a monumental waste and, I fear, serving as possible entry into the darkest of dark ages in all of man’s history.
I hold in contempt those who destroy freedom. This would, unfortunately, include much of mankind either through actual complicity or cowardice, the latter a much larger group than the former. As Dennis Prager has opined, if only evil insured the survival of evil the world would be good.

Seems a more effective and less confusing Headline might be something like “Jihadists pushing for Mali Sharia Sanctuary status kill another XX non-Muslims.”. The original headline posted may be cute, but it’s distracting folks from what’s really going on and has been going on for quite some time…
It’s also worth mentioning is how the Jihadist Sharia Sanctuary movement is really just one of many ‘law outside of law” sanctuary movements the far left anarchists are pushing and/or planning to push..

There has been a lot of talk recently about the supposed threat of those right of center, so this headline is indeed salient.
gravenimage says
Right-wing extremists murder nine civilians in Mali — no, wait, it was Islamic jihadis
………………
Grimly, no surprise here. The Jihad in Africa continues apace.
PRCS says
Islam IS right wing.
No?
Well, it’s certainly not a warm and fuzzy progressive ideology, eh?

— Just as it ever was. The pagan Dogon were persecuted by Muslims a thousand years ago. They were forced to flee to defensible cliff dwellings in the Bandiagma Highlands. For centuries, various African Muslim rulers declared the Dogon infidels and approved attacks, looting and slave raids against them.
— Remember when Schumer and Pelosi knelt in kente cloth for 9 minutes to honor George Floyd? Sites like jihadwatch pointed out that kente cloth was woven by the Ashante tribe who were enthusiastic slavers. Perhaps Pelosi should have worn a Dogon garment instead.
