“Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa” wants 30 million euros in ransom for three Infidel hostages
“Oneness” in that name is tauhid, the absolute unity of Allah. So apparently this group misunderstands Islam and believes that hostage-taking has something to do with the unity of Allah and struggle (jihad) on his behalf.
