I notice that the word “Islam” is never mentioned in this article. Selective blindness.
We support a missionary and his family that have recently returned from Kenya ... bottom line ... it is bad ... very bad ... downright evil, over there.
I thought Minister Obama had control of his fellow Muslims and kinfolk over there. If he’s elected Prez, I’m sure he’ll bring that same expert touch to America’s inner cities.
Refresh my memory. Kenya is a Moslem country?
Ah, the wondrous richness that other cultures have to offer us, if only we could set aside our xenophobic bigotry and accept it and even embrace it without judgment or criticism.
Africa is shaping up as the main battlefield.
Islam is the oldest of the great religions in Kenya, since it began to spread with the arrival of the first Arabs from the year 500 A.D. Today, the islamic community in Kenya comprises 5-30% of the population, mainly at the Swahili Indian Ocean coast, but also in the north and northeast regions inhabited by Somalis, where mosques coexist with churches. Most of Kenyan muslims are sunnites. The shiite minority is represented mainly by Kenyans of Pakistani origin whose grandparents arrived to the coast during the change of the century to work in the construction of the Nairobi-Mombasa railway, the great communication artery around which Kenya was formed. The moderate ismailite branch, led by Aga Khan, also has some adepts. Fundamentalism is aggregated around the Islamic Party of Kenya, based on the coast and still a minority.
And since the British left, this surprises ...ah, who?
This is all George Bush’s fault. If Tony Blair were still in power the Brits would still be in Kenya and take care of this.

Raila Odinga - keep in mind that this guy claims to be Barak Obama’s first-cousin.
Makes me wonder, how is it that a man whose father ia a Kenyan,a Lao, and a Muslim, will react if he is not made president?

In the period from high school in Hawaii, to Columbia University and then to the streets of Chicago as a community organizer, Obama is the classic angry young black man, describing his world thusly:
“We were always playing on the white man’s court — by the white man’s rules. If the principal, or the coach, or a teacher wanted to spit in your face, he could, because he had the power and you didn’t. The only thing you could choose was withdrawal into a smaller and smaller coil of rage.”
Obama’s once described the white race as “that ghostly figure that haunted black dreams.”
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming “white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
Just asking a question!

Islam wasn’t even in existence in 400 AD. Try again.
Sorry, I meant 500 AD. It wasn’t in existence then, either.

The only thing that puzzles me is why the press has lined up behind him. I seriously think he's going to be the Dem candidate (and would be the only thing that would make me vote for any of the current dismal GOP candidates) and I think we've got some major worries facing us.
thanks for the fix
