The rebels are led by Joseph Kony, who claims to have spiritual powers. They have terrorized towns across northern and northeastern Uganda, forcing an estimated 1 million people to flee. The group replenishes its ranks with children it abducts to use as fighters, porters or concubines.Sounds like these folks are ripe for Muslim conversion.

I drew the conclusion a while ago that Africa is just a lost cause. They're rapidly sliding back to the state they were in before colonization, and perhaps that's just the natural order of things.
Our only interest is keeping the Chi-coms out of that continent. Beyond that, just ignore it.

I first became aware of this group when planning a church mission trip to Jinja, Uganda last summer.
They claim to want to set up a government based on the ten commandments, yet rape, torture, dismember and murder to attain their goals. They are notorious for taking the children of a village captive for use as sex slaves.
The pictures I've seen of their atrocities are stunning and sickening.
I would not be a bit surprised to find that they are a muslim-backed terrorist organization. They are in northern Uganda ... check the map.

Why do we never see human shields in places like this?
Why no protest marches for these people who are being killed?

Is Uganda another Clinton Legacy builder?
