Obama stumped for Sharia in Kenya.
By Ted Belman
In my post Obama, the man behind the facade, I mentioned that Senator Obama stumped for Odinga in the Kenya elections. Apparently due to the violence formented by Odinga a coalition agreement has been entered into which created the new position of Prime Minister which is to be filled by Odinga.
Odinga and Obama are from the Luo Tribe. That makes them cousins.
According to Kenya turmoil a test for Obama
-
Obama’s friend Raila Odinga, has reportedly promised to implement strict Islamic Sharia law if elected president. This was supposedly to get the Muslim votes. This is troublesome because he is claiming victory and the election was fixed (all the normal whining you would expect from a politician) [..]
but the question remains and indications are that Islam has picked the Lou tribe to win. Some Muslims would celebrate a victory of Obama by attacking someone or each other. If he loses the election Muslims in some locations will riot and attack someone or each other. Obama finding himself stuck between Islam, Kenyan tribes and anything else really will not hinder his effectiveness except regionally. Radical Muslims will always hate whoever sits in the White House.
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…
This is the man that Obama stumpted for. They have a close relationship and are both members of the Lou Tribe.
This is serious stuff.
That’s the Luo tribe. It’s my father’s tribe also.

Shelley, thanks.
Actually, I’m an American, but my father is Kenyan. I’ve been following the Kenya situation since the beginning of the year.
And though I think that Obama’s ties to Odinga are incidental, his doings in the USA are more telling as to his nature.

You are most welcome. I meant to say Kenyan-American, or American if you prefer. I’m a Canadian mutt, Scottish mostly, but English and Irish, and some native Indian.
I googled “baldilocks” for Ted. I think you two should talk.

The widely-reported cousins assertion is not just because Obama and Odinga are from the same tribe, but because mainstream media has reported Odinga himself as saying Obama’s father is his maternal uncle.

Good Soren, you pick up on most important nuances. I still believe for very parochial reasons that B. Obama is or could be the best thing that has happened to the Jewish people since the invention of chicken soup. We need someone like Obama that could shake up Israels leaders and the American Jewish community. Should he turn out to be no worse than all the others not much will be lost in his election, but if he turns out to embody what most of you fear, in the final analysis this can only be a positive depending on his policies and the Israeli and Jewish reaction to them. Jews have been dead wrong in most of their choices for president since we have been counting. lets reverse the concept and go for the one we think is worse for us. In Hebrew we call this Afuch Al Afuch!

Two observations: In Gamatria the name Amalek and Dollar have the same numerical value in Hebrew.
It is written on the Dollar that IN GOD WE TRUST Those who have till now trusted in the dollar instead of God seem to be suffering.
While people are loosing property values rapidly in the US here in Israel the reverse is true property over past 3 years here has in some areas trebled.
