Obama's Man In Kenya

Yesterday, I posted on how the genocide in Kenya is tied to Islam. Today, I find that Barack Obama is tied to the man whose people started the bloodletting:

American presidential frontrunner, Barack Obama has some very ugly skeletons in the closet in Kenya. Apart from his family links to Islam, it seems that Obama has some pretty bloodthirsty, extremist friends in the country.

In April 2007, a New York Times article had some interesting comments to make about Obama’s family. Sarah Hussein Obama of Kenya, Barack Obama’s stepgrandmother, is a lifelong Muslim. “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” she says.

But the real shock comes this past weekend as Raila Odinga, Obama’s friend, lost the election in Kenya. First some background on Odinga:

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.”

In the recent elections in Kenya, violence broke out as Raila lost the elections:

This past weekend, women and children — entire families — were burned alive as a crowd of Kenyans torched a church where they had gathered to protect themselves.

The cause of the violence was Odinga’s inflammatory comments about the election:

When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire… Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.

…Raila has now made a deal for support from the Soviets’ successors as world-champion enemies of the West and democratic freedoms: Muslim fundamentalists… The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya has posted on its website a photograph copy of a Memorandum of Understanding, dated and signed on August 29, 2007, between Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya…

Here is a summary on the agreement which was signed:

* It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n) on page two.

* Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.

* Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in “Muslim declared regions.”]

* “Popularize Islam, the only true religion… by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes.”

* “Impose a total ban on open-air gospel crusades by worshippers of the cross…”

* “Outlaw gospel programs… on KBC, the National Broadcaster.”

* “Impose a total ban on the public consumption of alcoholic beverages…”

* “Impose an immediate ban on women’s public dressing styles that are considered immoral and offensive to the Muslim faith…”

Obama then, is revealed as a sympathizer with hardline Islamist Sharia government and the mainstream press is NOT REPORTING ON THIS.

Why does none of this surprise me? Are you looking forward to having our first Muslim President?
