Saturday, February 02, 2008 Obama linked to Radical Islamic movement in Kenya

A growing number of Blogs, and even some mainstream media sources are starting to discover strong links between Barack Obama and Radical Islamic movements in Kenya. Kenya had a National Election on Dec. 27. The moderate Kikuya Tribe prevailed, over the Luos with ties to Radical Islamists and Communist movements. Ethnic killings never before seen in Kenya occured. Luo backers machete'd ethnic Kikuya.

Barack Obama has relatives and close allies who might have been involved in the killings.

This from Daniel Johnson, columnist with the NY Sun, 01/10/08:

Americans might like to know a little more about the content of Mr. Obama's dream.

Let me propose an unlikely place to start looking: Kenya. Even in the midst of the primaries, the horrific scenes from that country since the disputed election on December 27 will not have escaped most people. In particular, the burning of a church with up to 50 men, women, and children inside, while machete-armed mobs slaughter up to 600 more people, have evoked memories of the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

Who is behind these massacres? The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, has had a good press in the West, after he accused the president, Mwai Kibaki, of rigging the election. But the victims of the recent violence have mostly been members of Mr. Kibaki's tribe, the Kikuyu, while those who have gone berserk are supporters of Mr. Odinga's Orange Democratic Movement, which is dominated by the rival Luo tribe.

Whether Mr. Odinga has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga's father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.

It turns out Obama's older brother is tied with the Radical Islamic Luo Tribe which is strongest in the Coastal areas bordering Somalia. Reporter Ed Laskey of the American Thinker Blog reports:

Obama's older brother, Abongo "Roy" Obama is a Luo activist and a militant Muslim who argues that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture." He urges his younger brother to embrace his African heritage.

Meanwhile, the Blog Atlass Shrugs reports that Obama has direct ties to the very man responsible for much of the violence. Raila Odinga, pictured with Obama above at a 2006 Kenyan rally, is largely credited with much of the current violence.

Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a 'close personal friendship' with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.When Obama went to Kenya in August of 2006, he was hosted by Raila and spoke in praise of him at rallies in Nairobi: Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's ‘stooge.’

Ethnic cleansing is something even liberals have a hard time ignoring. If the violence continues in Kenya, and the election crisis there is not resolved, it may spill over to the US Elections. Obama due to his ties, could be a casualty of Kenya's political troubles.

Obomba’s bubble has to burst. Or we’re really in trouble, big time.

...In June, Raila flew to the US, where he held talks with Senator Barack Obama, one of the candidates seeking the Democratic Party ticket to vie for the American presidency...

--- ...Industry sources say that one of the things that helped Raila make a quick buck in the oil business was a concessionary petroleum deal he struck with the Al Bakri Group where he was not only incorporated as a silent partner in the local arm of Al Bakri International...

----

Abdulkader Al Bakri listed as a defendant in the First Amendment Complaint suit brought by various insurance companies against al Qaeda and associated organizations and individuals. Within that suit is mentioned documents (known as the Golden Chain document) picked up by Bosnian police on a raid on a charitable front organization for al Qaeda in Sarajevo. One of the listed documents is the "Tareekh Osama" ("Osama's History") in which Abdulkader al Bakri aka Abdel Qader Bakri gets a prominent listing...

---

So, when a man like Raila Odinga is linked with Abdulkader al Bakri, you are not making a minor connection, but one directly into al Qaeda.

Such are the vagaries of making political bedfellows in other Nations...
