The Al-Qaeda-linked group that raided the Mali factory and kidnapped the Indian nationals is Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM); the group is expanding fast, as the Guardian has reported:
JNIM, an Islamist extremist group which now controls a swath of the Sahel, which stretches across Africa from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean and marks the borderlands between the Sahara and less arid zones.
The series of bombings, hijackings, attacks on military bases and raids into major towns in Mali and Burkina Faso carried out by JNIM in recent weekshave gone largely unnoticed in a world preoccupied by conflicts elsewhere, but marks one of the most significant military efforts by any Islamic militant organisation anywhere in the world since the Taliban stormed back to power in Afghanistan in 2021.
Now the Indian Ministry of External Affairs has advised “all Indian citizens currently residing in Mali to exercise utmost caution, remain vigilant and stay in close contact with the Embassy of India in Bamako for regular updates and necessary assistance.”
Unfortunately, Christian infidels are routine targets in Mali and the surrounding region, and they have no advocates.
One Christian leader stated: “If you are a Christian in the north of the country, you are thinking of fleeing if you have not already – churches have been torched, Christian girls are at constant risk of kidnapping, and outreach is the most hazardous activity possible.”
Open Doors states:
“The jihadist violence is spreading southward, and the country’s institutions are rapidly breaking apart, further playing into the hands of jihadist groups.”
Jihad conquest still rages on today after more than 1400 years, while the politically correct and fearful still call mainstream Islam a “religion of peace.” Jihadists are at war with everyone in every culture and religion.
“Three Indians abducted during Al-Qaeda-linked terror group attack in Mali,” WION, July 3, 2025:
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has expressed deep concern following the kidnapping of three Indian nationals employed at the Diamond Cement Factory in Kayes, Republic of Mali. The incident occurred on July 1 when armed assailants launched a coordinated attack on the factory premises and took the three Indians hostage. The government of India condemned the incident and said that the Indian embassy in Bamako was in constant touch with the concerned authorities, security agencies, as well as the families of the victims. Mali, a landlocked nation in the semiarid Sahel region, for more than a decade has battled an insurgency by armed groups, including some allied with al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.
In the statement issued on Wednesday (July 3), the MEA called the act “deplorable” and reaffirmed India’s firm stance against violence targeting its citizens abroad. “The Embassy of India in Bamako is in close and constant communication with the relevant authorities of the Government of Mali, local law enforcement agencies, as well as the management of Diamond Cement Factory,” the MEA statement read. “The Government of India unequivocally condemns this deplorable act of violence and calls upon the Government of the Republic of Mali to take all necessary measures to secure the safe and expeditious release of the abducted Indian nationals. Senior officials of the Ministry are closely monitoring the evolving situation and remain engaged at various levels to facilitate safe and early release of Indian Nationals,” the MEA statement added.
In a cautionary note to all Indians in Mali, the MEA said, “The Ministry advises all Indian citizens currently residing in Mali to exercise utmost caution, remain vigilant and stay in close contact with the Embassy of India in Bamako for regular updates and necessary assistance.”
What happened in Mali?
As per a report by Associated Press, armed men attacked a Mali community just over the border from Senegal. The al-Qaida-linked JNIM extremist group claimed responsibility for the coordinated attack on several Malian army positions in the country’s west and central regions….

I know that things are bad in India, which is why Indians are going anywhere to find work. Some of the Gulf countries, like Emirates, Oman or even Saudi Arabia are fine. But what makes anyone pick Mali as a destination? Unless the Indians in question happened to be muslim?
People, if you’re gonna go to another country to work, at least learn about life in that place before moving. There’s a reason you wouldn’t go to Pakistan, Bangladesh nor Afghanistan. There are a lot of other muslim countries that are just as bad, and Mali is among them

Another group of Muslims are fighting against Non-Muslims with discrimination, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.). This is the true face of Islam.
Allah’s hateful, totalitarian Islam, a Terrorist-Criminal Enterprise and a Murderous-Demonic Cult of Believers, Terrorists for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, mass murder, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, genocide, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:41, 88; 5:35, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Hence, Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners via Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15; 60:4 etc.).
Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam functions as a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes Terrorist Criminal Organizations with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah(Quran 9:5,29, 111; 49:15 etc.).
Allah’s demoniacal Islam, a hateful Antichrist Ideology, is using Western Freedoms and Laws against Non-Muslims to conquer Non-Muslims under Islamic Rule. Non-Muslims should legally designate Islam as a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO) where Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, Sharia Courts, and Muslim Organizations are banned because of their incitement of segregation and discrimination to fight back against ISLAMIZATION, Muslim subjugation, and tyrannical violence(Quran 4:65; 9:5,29,111; 60:4; 98:6-7 and more).
Sahih Bukhari 3126 says, “… the Prophet said, He who fights so that Allah’s Word(ie. Islam) should be superior, fights for Allah’s Cause.” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause), so they kill and are killed…”.
Under Islam and Islamic Law, Muslims have the Legal Right and the Quranic Duty to terrorize Non-Muslims because neglecting this QURANIC DUTY is a CRIME against tyrannical Allah. Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION AS SUPREME(Quran 3:115, 151; 9:5, 29, 111; Muslim Law Manual: “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more).
More specifically, Islam, a terroristic-totalitarian way of life, is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of: incitement, intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, slavery, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:208,216; 4:65, 89,95, 115; 5:14,64; 8:12,39,60, 74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49, 73,88, 111,123; 21:92; 49:15; 60:4; 61:9-11; 62:6; 89:14; etc.).

Hinduphobia, Christianophobia and anti-Semitism are hitting so-called “progressive” western countries like a tsunami of maliciouis intent. Meantime, the criminals and terrorists, most arrived as “refugess” in EU via Turkish human taffickers and German/Danish/Norwegian corrupt NGOs plead “not guilty by reason of Insanity” and get away with shootings, rapes, looting and…behald Londonstan & Paristan! What does the EU corrupt hierarchy need to truly “wake up”?!
Pres. Trumpt certainly appears not to have finished the job of getting rid of the neanderthals in Iran and we may soon be watching Islamofascist terrorist groups (funded by Qatar & Turkey) attack places of Worship (as in Jighadist Syria’s ethnic cleansing recently and bombing of an Orthodox Church!) repeat their islamist crimes against humanity.
To blame Israel for the acceptance of terrorism in Gaza and elsewhere is insane. October 7th doesn’t seem to have awakened the EU mandarins–or, for that matter, the Pres. of the U.S. who wants MIGA! Amazing political somnambulance. Hope they wake up in time.

Islam is working at its goal of destroying western society. Sadly if they succeed, it will be our politicians and wealthy industrialist that will make it happen. They think they are exempt and can just fly away. Maybe thats why Elon is working on the Mars project along with other Billionaires.
