The Islamic Element To The Killing In Kenya

I should have known. Almost anywhere in the world, any violence which is being perpetrated, probably has something to do with Islam. And, in Kenya, yes, it has something to do with Islam:


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.

Kenya's 37 million people are divided up into over three dozen tribes and sub-tribes, but the two dominant ones are Kikuyu and Luo. Kenyan politics since independence in 1963 has essentially been a duke-out between them.

The father of Kenyan independence and president until 1978 was Jomo Kenyatta, a Kikuyu. His main political opponent was Oginga Odinga, known as "OO," a Luo and Raila's father. While Kenyatta was pro-West and sided with America in the Cold War, OO was a Communist who was aided and supported by the Soviet Union.

That's why Raila went to school in East Germany (born in 1945, he graduated from Magdeburg University in 1970), and named his first-born son after Fidel Castro.

Thus it likely won't shock you to learn that Raila has now made a deal for support from the Soviets' successors as world-champion enemies of the West and democratic freedoms: Moslem 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.

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. Read them all, and be sure you're sitting down.

Here's a sample:

b) 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.

c) With immediate effect dismiss the Commissioner of Police who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists to oppress the Kenyan Muslim community.

g) 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."]


Go read the whole thing.

Pastorius, I've been monitoring this Sharia candidate case almost from the very start.

I simply spent some time working in East Africa, so I always keep following the news coming from the continent and post it in my blog.

If you are interested, here is the link to the entire series of the elections in Kenya:

Raila's father was a communist, yes. and Raila is a social democrat. Raila has, maybe, promised Muslims sharia law if he was voted. Has Raila refused he signed that since long discussed paper, or? We can't anyway know that the 10 % Muslims would have get sharia in the whole of Kenya just because of that paper.

The header in this post is that Muslims is behind the killings. I am not sre that the killing has been Muslim killings in order to finally get sharia.

The Muslims are 10 percent, but the election result was 50-50. As I have heard the killings has been made for political and tribal reasons. I'm not sure the Muslim fighting for sharia is the case here. I would guess not.

With this said, I think Raila is a soft politicians towards Muslims. Yes. He may be a democrat but. The conclusion of the supervision of the election iis that there were possible fraud. I wouldn't be surpriced, and the violence is a result of that and an even result, or?

I would say it was not much risk we would have had full fledge sharia in Kenya tomorrow, but Raila seems to have been extremely "soft" on that issue, just as social democrats use to be.

In Rwanda Christians killed Christians. We shall only charge those for killing we know for sure are guilty. So where is the source here that "Muslims Are Behind The Killing In Kenya"?
