This is really a sad outcome for Africa.
The fools in Egypt also want to destroy the Egyptian monuments.
...monuments that have stood for 1000 of years even before the religion itself, not to talk of some crazy fanatics.
The world needs to take on these crazies in Africa before it is too late.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A tourism official says that Islamist extremists destroyed four mausoleums in Timbuktu Sunday.
The director of Mali's Timbuktu tourism office, Sane Chirfi, said that Ansar Dine rebels linked to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb tore down the mausoleums, which were historic but not included on the United Nations list of World Heritage sites. The mausoleums housed the remains of Muslim scholars and teachers who are revered by the Timbuktu population.
Since taking control of Timbuktu earlier this year, the Islamists have destroyed seven of the 16 mausoleums listed as world heritage sites. Some date back to the 14th century.
According to many residents, the destruction of the graves is the rebels' reaction to the recent U.N. resolution calling for an international military intervention to remove the Islamists from northern Mali.

By its actions and operating system, you will know. Religion of piss sorry peace, where ever it goes, it destroys. When ever it visits, it visits with death. When muhammed visited the Arabs, death was in thousands. When usman danfodio visited northern Nigeria, slashing of innocent peoples throats was his watch word. Now innocent people of Mali is having a taste of religion of piss sorry peace.
