Obama Gives Somalia $1.5 Bil, Somalia Bans Christmas

Somalia has about 1,000 surviving Christians. And that’s a challenge in a country where everyone is either in an Islamic militia or trying to move to the United States to sponge off welfare and plot terrorist bombings.

In 2009, four Christian orphanage workers were beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam. Now Somalia has gotten enough of its act together to ban Christmas.

The Somali Government has banned celebration of Christian festivities in the country.

The Director General of the ministry, Sheikh Mohamed Khayrow Aden, and the Director of the Religious Matters, Sheikh Ali Sheikh Mohamud alias Sheikh Ali Dhere, held a press conference in the capital Mogadishu, to make the announcement.

“We alert fellow Muslims in Somalia that some festivities to mark Christian Days will take place around the world in this week,” said Sheikh Ali Dhere during the press conference, adding: “It is prohibited to celebrate those days in this country.”

Mr Aden, on his part, stated that all security and law enforcement agencies had been instructed to counter any such celebrations.

He added that copies of the directive were delivered to hotels and other meeting places in Mogadishu.

Meanwhile Obama has plowed at least $1.5 billion into the terrorist Muslim hellhole.

On January 17, 2013, the United States formally recognized the Federal Government of Somalia as an acknowledgement of the recent political and security gains in Somalia.

The United States is committed to assisting Somalia. At the second London Conference on Somalia on May 7, Deputy Secretary William J. Burns announced plans to provide, subject to Congressional notification, an additional nearly $40 million for Somalia.

Since 2009, the United States has provided over $1.5 billion in assistance to Somalia, including $545 million in FY 2012.

The U.S. Government hopes to continue substantial financial support to Somalia in future years that will support Somalia’s progress and transition to longer-term development.

Meanwhile Somali migration to the United States continues unabated so that the United States can become as peaceful and tolerant as Somalia.

I would be willing to bet that there is a significant portion of that $1.5 billion is reserved for Obama’s ‘Taste’ if we want to talk in Mafia vernacular.

The Transitional Federal Government, which controls little outside Mogadishu, is completely corrupt and completely dependent on foreign money. They recently got a new director of their central bank, a whiz in international finance who was supposed to clean things up. After six weeks on the job she arranged for her own disappearance, had herself smuggled out of the country then sent in her resignation from an undisclosed address in Dubai.

Well, he has to do something with these massive budget surpluses.

So why not support our mortal enemies?

The House Appropriations Committee must approve all federal expendatures.

Where are they in this free money give away ?

Did we not just reduce the benefits paid to the hard working military men and women who risk their lives for this country to save three billion dollars ?

I ask you, who is empowering this president to give away money at his whim?

Our government no longer follows the constitution and in that case, neither will we citizens.

I’m telling you, ALL Christians - Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant, had better BAND TOGETHER and form some kind of Christian League to promote the protection of all Christians and their faith everywhere and oppose any government support or assistance to countries which persecute ANYONE REGARDLESS of religion.

The Muslims are not targetting just us. They have and still do target Animists, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Bahai’s and others.

Islam is the one single source of the most destructive religious persecution in human history.

Yes. Christmas causes unspeakable violence in Somalia. Think of all the beheadings and church bombings that go on, all because of this wicked holiday./s

You had best have all those Christians learn to shoot and throw frags. Don’t try to combat them by turning the other cheek. That only works with people who have scruples that conflict with their practices. Israel would help you, if they are smart.

Would you support a country that persecutes Moslems?

Yes.

They need to be persecuted. They are an evil death cult not a religion.

I’d be more than happy to give them lessons.

I just don't get crap like this. US foreign policy is foreign to me. I grew up thinking that we should kill our enemies until thet surrendered.

Oh, sorry about that. That notion came from my grand father and great uncles. We haven't vanquished an enemy or won a war since the great WWII. (Grenada doesn't count).
