STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV>Mali is a predominantly Muslim country with 94.84 percent of the population belonging to Islam. Of that 94.84 percent, only 0.8 percent is Shi’a versus the greater majority of Sunni Muslims in the country. While most of the population is Muslim, a small minority practice other religions as well; 2.37 percent Christianity, 2.02 percent Animist, 0.04 percent Other, 0.45 percent Atheist/Agnostic, and 0.28 percent Undeclared. Of the 2.37 percent of Christians in Mali, the majority of those are Roman Catholic.Historically in Mali there has been a large diversity of religious beliefs and practices that not only coexisted but often intermingled. Malians have shown a great tolerance for other beliefs and typically do not let disagreements over religion escalate into violent actions. Many in Mali, especially in more rural areas, will mix Islam with traditional African practices from the region. While Muslim scholars see this as not only non-Islamic but also unlawful in nature, those that practice this mixture of religious beliefs do not view it as wrong. Because of the geography of Mali, there is a large mixture of ethnic groups and tribes in the south. As a consequence, it is in this region where most of these alternative belief systems can be found.While religious pluralism and tolerance has been a common theme in Mali, the introduction of terrorist and extremist groups in the north has created a push by those groups for fundamental Islam and Sharia Law. This has disrupted the normal religious harmony in Mali. The presence of groups such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Ansar Dine, and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa (MUJAO) are causing issues for many in the northern areas because of the prevalence of hybrid forms Islam mixed with traditional African beliefs. The violence and enforcement of Sharia Law by such groups is causing significant numbers of people to flee to the southern regions of Mali. <TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>ISO3</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>International Organization for Standardization 3-digit country code</TD></TR><TR><TD>ETHNICGP_1</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Main cultural group in Mali</TD></TR><TR><TD>ETHNICGP_2</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Secondary ethnic group in Mali</TD></TR><TR><TD>ALT_NAME</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Alternate name for secondary ethnic group</TD></TR><TR><TD>RELIGION</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Primary religion (85% or more of population) associated with Malian ethnic group</TD></TR><TR><TD>RELIGION2</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Secondary religion (15% or less of population) associated with Malian ethnic group</TD></TR><TR><TD>RELIGION3</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Tertiary religion (5% or less of population) associated with Malian ethnic group</TD></TR><TR><TD>SOURCE_DT</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Source creation date</TD></TR><TR><TD>SOURCE</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Primary source</TD></TR><TR><TD>SOURCE2_DT</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Secondary source creation date</TD></TR><TR><TD>SOURCE2</TD><TD>-</TD><TD>Secondary source</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>CollectionVarious maps were collected to help delineate general boundaries of the ethnic groups from authorities in anthropology.
