Barack Obama, right, is dressed as a Somali elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan
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.
See how nicely this ties together.
While our friendly nieghborhood GOP sits quietly like a church mouse
$1.5 billion while veteran benefits are cut
Throwing money at our enemies while starving us.
Ask the Speaker of the House. (yeah, the REPUBLICAN guy who was never gonna forget it was... sniffle sniffle... conservatives that got him to where he was!).
"This is your moment, Mr. President. We are ready to be led. Not as Democrats or Republicans but as Americans.... We want you to succeed. Let's challenge ourselves to find the common ground that has eluded us."
John Boehner, Nov. 7, 2012
But screws our vets!! Is there any question this scumbag is a muzzie?
There has not been a functioning government in Somalia in like 30 years...there is one now and Obama tosses 1.5 billion at them...WTF...
Probably 99 % of that money will wind up in some warlords or corrupt government official swiss bank account...
They have a functioning government?
Last I checked, and it has been a while, they controlled maybe 5 square blocks of Mogadishu
Looking at that picture of Obama dressed as a
Somali “elder” the thought occurred to me that
perhaps it wasn’t just a case of dress up as
much as it was recognition of Obama’s special
standing in fulfillment of some obscure prophecy.
Maybe he wasn’t JUST dressed as an elder but
WAS named one.
I know, it’s late and it’s been a long day.
Maybe I’m just tired.
Maybe he was the one they were waiting for...
I was surprised as well...
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.
I guess by government they mean, they can now get a cut of the stolen aid money..:)
How much of Mogadishu do they control now?
According to Wiki the government and AMISOM alliance forced out the rebels in Aug 2011
What right? American voters elected the guy, and then re-elected him. He relies on the same executive authority that has been used numerous times by his predecessors.
The problem is not Obama. It's not Boehner. The problem is an American electorate that has been indoctrinated by government schools and mainstream media.
He probably is, we just don't hear about it.
They are getting depopulated. They are getting shipped here to our cities.
