OBAMA'S ELECTION DAY BLOODBATH IN KENYA

So, with the native celebrations featuring public slaughtering of livestock...

In Obama's Kenya village, Election bloodbath Time Magazine

The presidential candidate's half-brother Malik tied a bull to a tree, then hobbled it, and asked me to hold the beast's head to the ground as he drew a machete across its jugular. "Hold this guy down now," said Malik, 50, eyeing the animal's horns as blood poured from its throat like an open tap. "He could kill me now." After five minutes, the blood flow began to slow, and the fight went out of the animal, which stopped kicking and lay still, breathing heavily. -- (hat tip Jeremaykovka)

Report Accuses OBAMA SUPPORTED ODINGA for Post-Elections Ethnic Violence in Kenya FOX News (hat tip Green)

Free men are worried. Infidels, kuffirs, non muslims shudder to think. Over at the Daily Jot (hat tip Green)

A pastor from Kenya wrote: “I have received your email (Daily Jot) forwarded to me from my loving and great friend Larry who is the missionary in Russia, Uzbekistan. We have been praying that the Lord will do what He can to make the Americans feel good by the end of the day. So I will pray that the Americans get the best person they want which is their choice. Because I too fearing if the Obama can take over the leadership of that great Nation with the Muslim background it is very dangerous and I am wondering why the Americans are blind and they do not see, their eyes should be open to see the danger ahead of them…I am going to pray for you and your country and may God help you overcome this reproach.

Kenyan missionaries wrote: “We are living and working in Kenya for almost twelve years now and know his family (tribe) well. They are the ones who were behind the recent Presidential election chaos here. Thousands of people have been displaced by election violence (over 350,000) and I don't know the last count of the dead. Obama, under 'friends of Obama' gave almost a million dollars to the opposition campaign who just happened to be his cousin, Raila Odinga, who is a socialist trained in East Germany…Obama IS a Muslim and he IS a racist and this is a fulfillment of the 9-11 threat that was just the beginning.  Jihad is the only true Muslim way…He is not an American as we know it.”

These are just samples of the emails that come in on a fairly regular basis. Many of them wonder why the Americans, especially Christian Americans, do not see these issues with Obama. Many are concerned that the support for American missionaries will be curtailed if Obama wins and the Democrats have their way in shutting down religious freedoms through so-called “separation of church and state” measures. Others fear for the nation that it will be literally conquered by Islam. These are not alarmists. They are sincere and concerned people with standing in their communities and with the Lord. The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:20, “that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.” So should we all.

KENYA SMOKING GUN: OBAMA GAVE BRUTAL THUG ODINGA A COOL MILLION

According to a document obtained by WND, Obama was a major contributor to the violent agitator and brutal dictator Raila Odinga.

This page from a memo prepared by the head of Raila Odinga's campaign finance accounting section shows donations to the Kenyan leader by "friends" of Sen. Barack Obama and a son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi

Back on January 4th, Dr. Wheeler and I broke the story of Obama's nefarious support and alliance with Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge." Kenya, once a shining beacon of democracy in Africa, was hurled into of Odinga fueled violence and ethnic cleansing.

Obamaraised a million dollars for this violent inciter? From where? Foreign sources? The same foreign soures illegally funding his own presidential campaign?

Among the 72 individuals and organizations that contributed money to Odinga's 2007 presidential run in Kenya, Shabbir lists "Friends of Senator B.O." as having donated 66,000,000 Kenyan schillings, about $950,000.

Saif el-Islam Gadhafi, the Libyan strongman's second oldest son, reportedly donated 53,450,000 Kenyan schillings, about $765,000.

Raila made a deal with the  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."]

Further, Jerome Corsi, Obama raised $1 million for foreign thug's election and  joined Libya's Gadhafi among top contributors to Odinga

UPDATE: Carl queries Obama can't give a dollar a month to his brother to double his brother's monthly income but he can give millions to a Muslim gangster?

TREASON: OBAMA'S TACIT SUPPORT FOR ODINGA'S VIOLENT OVERTHROW OF DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED LEADER IN KENYA

UPDATE: Footage of Obama and Odinga campaiging together in Kenya. (hat tip Bill)

Jerome Corsi is back from Kenya and he confirms everything I have been reporting about Obama and Odinga since January 2008. Obama supported a vicious killer to overthrow the duly elected President of Kenya. The  Odinga strategy exploited "anti-Kikuyu sentiments,"  clearly a racial strategy aimed at inflaming long-standing tribal animosity to gain electoral advantage for Odinga".

Why would Obama support the exploitation of ethnic violence and murder? To further his own career? To position himself to "save the day"? Isn't this the same malevolent, anti-American, me-me-me subterfuge that Obama tried in Iraq? His private attempt to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence was sabotage, treason even. His objective was to keep our boys in Iraq until he became President so that he could position himself to take credit "for bringing our boys and girls  home" when he he was vehemently against the surge and advocated surrender and defeat in Iraq.This Mansourian candidate depends and wishes for, advocates for American failure.

This is the currency in which he trades - bad for America is good for Obama.

What does Obama's correspondence of Odinga tell us? These emails clearly show Obama tried to manipulate the death and massacres of thousands for self aggrandizement. Wouldn't a real leader done everything to stop, or even stem the violence?

Proof Obama backed ruthless, foreign thug (WND)
Set up direct Senate contact for Kenyan opposition leader

...... the anonymous ODM source in implementing an Odinga campaign strategy which the source claimed was shared with Obama's Senate office. The strategy is described in a document titled "Executive Brief on the Positioning and Marketing of the Orange Democratic Movement & 'The People's President.'"

The document at one point suggests: "It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers. Available research also suggests that this strategy could also resonate with poor kikuyu youth who feel economically marginalized by their own government. As part of this strategy the party should seek to elevate the emotions within all youth constituents who may it successful, be willing to vote for us in the protest. Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme."

Sen. Barack Obama designated a personal aide as his direct contact for the 2007 Kenyan presidential campaign of Raila Odinga, who later was appointed prime minister after his election loss was followed by widespread, deadly violence that destroyed or damaged 800 Christian churches, according to e-mails obtained by WND senior staff writer Jerry Corsi during a trip to Kenya.

The nefarious alliance first reported at Atlas Shrugs in January 2008 has been

The links between Obama and Odinga were documented by copies of two e-mails obtained by Corsi during his meetings in Kenya with various government officials and others.

The e-mails, apparently sent by Obama himself, referenced the senator's aide, Mark Lippert. The e-mails were provided to WND by an insider in Kenya who fled Odinga's Orange Democratic political party and requested anonymity because of the danger of retaliation.

Corsi's source a  former Odinga party official said he left the Odina's party, the ODM (Orange Democratic movement)  and opposed Odinga because of "concerns Odinga had manipulated tribal violence in Kenya to gain political power".

ATLAS BROKE THE STORY BACK IN JANUARY: OBAMA AND ODINGA UPDATE: CORSI DETAINED IN KENYA

Atlas readers are long aware of the odious alliance between Odinga and Obama both Luo:
"We are Taliban as I have been covering it over nine months now. WND is reporting it now, it's been out there since January and NO BIG MEDIA has touched the story until now. FOX this weekend and Corsi in his book, published well after I ran my explosive findings.

In a today's WND article:

For the past week, WND author and reporter Jerome Corsi has been in the Kenyan capital investigating ties between Sen. Barack Obama and Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, as first presented in his New York Times No. 1 best-selling book, "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality."

Melanie Phillips cited my work and wrote on January 10, 2008 at The Spectator: Kenyan Jihad,

Radical imams have preached violence against Westerners, attacked the Kenyan government as the lackey of the United States and Israel and called for the implementation of Shariah. Members of the Qaeda cells that blew up the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998, were recruited in mosques near the Indian Ocean beaches where hundreds of thousands of Western tourists flock each year.

[...]

And now look at this on Atlas Shrugs which, after railing at the media for failing to report what is actually going on in Kenya, makes the following claim:

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.’

Today's WND article also reports my previous findings:

At a news conference today in Nairobi, Corsi plans to announce he can now affirm the following as a result of his reporting in Kenya:

• Obama and Odinga have been in direct contact since the senator's visit to Kenya in 2006.

Reported at Atlas Shrugs on January 4, 2008 here.

• Obama remained in active phone contact with Odinga through the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary in January. The Illinois senator continued to support Odinga, turning a blind eye to an agreement signed with Muslims and the post-election violence instigated as part of the campaign strategy.

Reported at Atlas Shrugs on January 9, 2008 here.

• Obama has advised Odinga on campaign strategy and helped the Kenyan politician raise money in the U.S. for his presidential campaign in the East African nation.

Reported at Atlas Shrugs on January 18th, 2008 here (with the help of Dick Morris no less).

• The memorandum of understanding signed Aug. 27, 2007, by Odinga, representing the Orange Democratic Movement, and Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, the chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, has been confirmed as a genuine document.

Reported at Atlas Shrugs on January 4, 2008. here.

Actually it was presented first by Dr. Jack Wheeler at Atlas back on January 4, 2008 here.

For background on Kenya in general, see A Tusker at the Stanley from June 2006.  Here's the current background.

Kenya's first truly free and fair democratic election was in December 2002, won by Mwai Kibaki and a multi-ethnic coalition party NARC (National Rainbow Coalition).  One of the leaders of that coalition was Raila Odinga. 

Kibaki didn't give him positions in the new government that he felt were important enough, so Odinga formed an opposition party, ODM (Orange Democratic Movement, orange the symbol color of opposition).

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."]

Again, read all of them, for others are just as bad or worse.

It may also not surprise you that Raila is not Moslem himself, but claims to be a practicing Anglican.  Only a minority of Luo are Moslem (most are Christian).  Kenya on the whole is Christian, with 80% of Kenyans either Protestant or Roman Catholic, while only 10% are Moslem.

And here is the biggest non-surprise:  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."

I further reported that Obama was aiding and abeting Odinga during his violent pusch on President Kibaki here when Joe Klein idiotically admitted to the following in out-of-TIME magazine:

On January 1, two days before the Iowa caucuses, Obama left a message for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. According to Robert Gibbs, Obama's Communications Director, Rice called back "as we were driving from Sioux City to Council Bluffs on January 1. They talked about the situation and Rice asked Obama to tape a Voice of America message calling for calm." Obama taped the message on January 2, after a rally in Davenport, Iowa. He said, in part:

"Despite irregularities in the vote tabulation, now is not the time to throw that strong democracy away. Now is a time for President Kibaki, opposition leader Odinga, and all of Kenya’s leaders to call for calm, to come together, and to start a political process to address peacefully the controversies that divide them. Now is the time for this terrible violence to end.
Kenya’s long democratic journey has at times been difficult. But at critical moments, Kenyans have chosen unity and progress over division and disaster. The way forward is not through violence – it is through democracy, and the rule of law. To all of Kenya’s people, I ask you to renew Kenya’s democratic tradition, and to seek your dreams in peace."

On January 3, the day of the caucuses, he had a conversation with Bishop Desmond Tutu, who had flown to Nairobi to see if he could begin negotiations with the factions. In the days since his Iowa victory, Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga. As of late this afternoon, before his rally in Rochester, N.H., Obama was trying to reach Kenyan President Kibaki.

Near daily conversations with Odinga but has not yet spoken with the Kenyan President?

I haven't been able to talk to Obama directly about this--he is sort of busy right now--but it does seem noteworthy that, in the midst of the most amazing week of his life, Barack Obama has found the time to do a some diplomatic scut-work. I suspect we'll be seeing a lot of this sort of thing if he wins the nomination and is elected President.

Well Mr. Klein I suspect a great many other things at play here. Over at US Vet here;

Odinga capitalized on Obama Jr's popularity by portraying Obama Jr's 2006 trip to Kenya as a personal endorsement for Odinga against the Kibaki government.

[...]

After Obama Jr's 2006 visit, Odinga supporters created T-shirts and posters with computer-altered images showing Obama Jr. and Kenyan presidential candidate Odinga standing side by side with arms around each other.

That caused one excited Kenyan blogger to write, "in 2009, we might see a Luo president in Kenya, a Luo president in the USA, and a Luo ambassador in Washington, D.C."

Odinga and Obama both Luo: "We are Taliban"

Obama campaigned for Odinga. Adam pointed out that Obama been in Nairobi politicking more recently than he's been to Iraq. Why now does Obama pretend he doesn't know him?

From my January 11 post: Obama has backed Odinga unequivocally going so far as telling big media (_{out of} TIME Magazine's Joe Klein here),

"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga.

More on Odinga and Obama's phone conversations here.

This is beyond bad judgment. This is just bad and this story is not going to go away no matter how desperately in love Obamedia is with the Christ child. Big media does not control information anymore. And Obama is culpable. Here I am -- an individual blogger getting all this terrible information on Odinga and the man running for POTUS is in the dark? Think about it.

Obama's bias for his fellow Luo was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."

Barack Hussein Obama – The Rise of Islam in Kenya

I have worked and traveled in the Christian and Muslim countries of Africa for more than 30 years. I have witnessed first hand apartheid in South Africa, the transition from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe, coups in Nigeria and Sudan, the rise of Al Qaeda, the growth of the Muslim Brotherhood and other key events. In spite of witnessing all these events, I believe that the recent events Kenya stand out as a watershed event signaling emerging resurgence of Islam in Kenya and the beginning of the open Clash of Ideologies between the Muslims and Christians.

In one newspaper article Larwyn sent me, the reporter writes:

Mr Odinga has said he is a cousin of Mr Obama's, although the senator's representatives deny that the two men are related.

The Kenyan-American presidential candidate may wish to avoid meeting with the PM due to concerns that such contact would be used to stoke rumours intended to wound Senator Obama politically.

Right-wing extremists have been circulating baseless claims on the Internet that Senator Obama is closely allied with Prime Minister Odinga, who is described by the Obama-haters as both an Islamist and a socialist.

There's much more here. Just scroll.

And this hasn't even gotten into the relationship between Obama and Raila Odinga, yet another politician who ran on the 'hope & change' theme while utilizing criminal ties, who would then stage a violent and bloody uprising when national elections didn't go his way. Somehow we don't hear much about the nightly phone calls between Sen. Obama and Raila Odinga these days...

Bush Wrong on Kenya

In an compromise between good and evil, evil profits. That said, US foreign policy continues to careen into the abyss by pursuing a morally inverted strategy of equality among all men, civilized or savage. One only has to look to Gazastan to understand what an abject failure  appeasing savages is.

Bush is urging power-sharing in Kenya but  it will never work. Islam does not "share".

So Odinga's bloody rampages and rapes were a successful tactic then?

Michael sent the following with this remark, "Bush's answer to Islamic riots, murder and mayhem is "power sharing" between Christian victims and Islamic aggressors.  As noted, the President's criteria for assistance  is full and complete cooperation, militarily and  politically, with  U.S. interests.  The Administrations pro-Islamic, anti-Christian policies have allowed the Lebanese Muslims and Chinese to gain a stranglehold over African trade and industry".

Bush urges Kenya power-sharing BBC

"I've got a firm, heartfelt commitment to the continent of Africa"

President George W Bush: Full interview transcript

President Bush says Africa has been a foreign policy priority

US President George W Bush has backed calls for a power-sharing agreement to end weeks of strife in Kenya following disputed presidential elections. He said he was sending his secretary of state to Kenya to convey the message.

Mr Bush was speaking in Benin, at the start of his first presidential tour of Africa since 2003.

He said he would highlight African success stories during his six-day, five-nation visit, even though he remained committed to ending turmoil.

The one success story was a Christian Kenya.

The US president also wants to allay concerns about a new military command he wants to base in Africa to work with African militaries to deal with trafficking or terror.

How can Africa fight terror, when Bush is inadvertently supporting it?

Obama Backing Islamists

I question Obama's loyalties and have for months. As I have outlined here previously, David Jonsson elaborates in the New Media Journal;

Islamic governments have targeted Kenya as a key element in the spread of Islam in Horn of Africa and ultimately the world. The Kenyan Diaspora including Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Hussein Obama has also played a part. The fall of Kenya into Islamist control would be devastating to anti-terrorist activities in the Horn of Africa, not to mention the potential for expansion of a caliphate. One has to ask, how fast will Kenya go Islamic and apply Shariah law?   

Barack Hussein Obama – The Rise of Islam in Kenya

I have worked and traveled in the Christian and Muslim countries of Africa for more than 30 years. I have witnessed first hand apartheid in South Africa, the transition from Rhodesia to Zimbabwe, coups in Nigeria and Sudan, the rise of Al Qaeda, the growth of the Muslim Brotherhood and other key events. In spite of witnessing all these events, I believe that the recent events Kenya stand out as a watershed event signaling emerging resurgence of Islam in Kenya and the beginning of the open Clash of Ideologies between the Muslims and Christians.

The events unfolding do not represent a Clash of Civilizations, ethnic issues or a race issue, the conflict is between Ideologies – Muslim vs. Judeo Christian Ideologies  and between Leftist/Marxist authoritarian (Liberal Fascism vs. democratic free enterprise.)

Kenya a Microcosm for Future Events

The battles occurring in Kenya are a microcosm of the future battles that will occur in the West and the United States elections as we witness the growth of Leftist/Marxist – Islamist Alliance striving to achieve “Change” and create a New World Order leading the formation of global Islamic kingdom of God. Whether it is by economic means through the formation of Islamic finance and economics and acquisition of Western assets via the Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), military and political action, or terrorism, the goal is the same. The growth of Islamic Financial institutions and their Sovereign Wealth Funds applying Shariah law should be an early warning to this growing trend.

OBAMA THUG BACKER SENT TO JAIL SECRET MIDDLE EAST TRANSACTIONS

Dirty and getting dirtier;

Obama 'Backer' Rezko Ordered to Jail Rezko Violated Parole With Series of Secret Financial Transactions With Mideast Banks Brian Ross, ABC

— A federal judge sent accused Illinois political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko to jail today after federal prosecutors accused him of violating his bail terms by a convoluted series of financial transactions with Mideast banks.

Rezko has become an "Achilles heel" for Illinois Sen. Barack Obama after disclosures he and people associated with him had raised almost $200,000 for Obama and that Obama sought Rezko's "help and advice" in the purchase of a new home.

In a court hearing in Chicago, prosecutors detailed a $3.5 million wire transfer from a bank in Beirut, Lebanon that they said was moved through a series of accounts until it reached Rezko or some of his relatives who had posted property for his bond.

Under the terms of his agreement, prosecutors said in a filing with the court, Rezko was obligated to disclose any change in his financial status.

In court, prosecutors said Rezko had become a "flight risk" because of his secretive transactions in the Mideast. According to the court filings, the money came from a company, General Mediterranean, owned by a British-based Iraqi billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, who was convicted in France on fraud charges.

The filing says when Auchi was unable to obtain a visa to visit the United States in 2005, Rezko intervened and "asked certain Illinois government officials" to appeal the State Department's ruling.

The officials who Rezko approached are not specified. Sen. Obama had just taken office as a U.S. senator in 2005, the same year he sought Rezko's help in the purchase of his home.

The senator has said he was unable to afford both the home and an empty lot next to it which were effectively being sold as a package. Rezko's wife ultimately bought the empty lot, closing the same day as Obama did on his home.

Obama's Radical Islamist Brother and now the Sister

The latest in the frenzy to obfuscate Obama's connection to Islam, a new member of Obama's Muslim family weighs in. Like most who attempt to shape or change a story, she reveals more than she hides.  

In this coming Sunday's New York Times magazine, the weekly Q & A by Deborah Solomon features Barack Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng. The two have the same mother and different fathers (her dad is Indonesian).

She talks about their late mother, who was an anthropologist, and about campaigning for her older brother for a couple of months, and reveals that she has a bumper sticker that reads, "1-20-09. End of an error." But the questions about religious background may stir the most interest.

Soetoro-Ng describes her mother as being an agnostic, who gave the kids "all the good books," and mentions the Bible, and Hindu and Buddhist scripture. Solomon jumps on that, wondering why she didn't mention the Koran, since Indonesia is the most populous Muslim nation. Soetoro-Ng replies, "I should have mentioned the Koran. Mom didn't really emphasize the Koran, but we read little parts of it. We did listen to morning prayers in Indonesia."

Deliberately omitting the Koran. Not good. The mother brought every religious book into the house? The Talmud too?

Solomon then wonders if she was "worried" about even mentioning Islam, given the false accusations against her brother. She answers, "I'm not worried. I don't want to deny Islam....At the same time, it has been erroneously attached to my brother. The man has been a Christian for 20 years." (Editor and Publisher)

And previous to that Obama was what? I pointed these inconsistencies  out in my OpEd piece in the Israel National News (1/09/08): Obama, The Muslim Thing and Why it Matters

Every Muslim who left Islam is very definitive about leaving and why. They are quite vocal - Wafa Sultan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Walid Shoebat, Elijah Abraham, etc. If he left Islam, Obama must have very definite thoughts about it. He has to, he practiced Islam. That is not benign; it's big. And even if, as inferred by big media, it was not big to him, then he can still appreciate how important it is knowing what he knows about Islam and apostasy.

Obama would have had to make a decision to reject Islam. When did he make that decision? How? Why the silence? Why the reluctance to talk about it?

Apostasy is punishable by death in Islam. Have there been calls for Obama's death? If not, why not? Islam gives no free passes.

Obama's posture on this is hard to define or understand, because it is a critical issue

Add this to Obama's older brother, Abongo "Roy" Obama who  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. (More here.)

Obama's Man Plans Ethnic CleansingObama's 1/2 brother is a Radical Muslim

An al- Reuters spin, no doubt ..... but you get the point.

Although Ed Lasky levels some serious charges and makes a strong case against Obama based on his questionable alliances in America., IMAO, nothing gives a clearer indication into what drives Obama than his tacit support for the brutal opposition leader Odinga in Kenya.. Aligned with Islamists, Raila Odinga has signed a pact to institute sharia when he takes power after the current bloody coup.

Odinga is a Marxist who reportedly has made a pact with a hard-line Islamic group in Kenya to establish Shariah courts throughout the country. He has also vowed to ban booze and pork and impose Muslim dress codes on women -- moves favored by Obama's brother. (MORE HERE)

He is tearing through the country using murder and rape as his weapons of choice. Justice Minister Martha Karua tsaid  Odinga's  group (Orange Democratic Movement has planned to  carry out systematic ethnic cleansing.This is a dangerous man in what has up until now been a pretty stable country on an unstable continent.

His 'opposition party' is opposed to democracy and free elections. Refusing to accept the result of the national election,  Odinga will break the country, beat, "cleanse" rape until this depraved savage gets the power. Raila Odinga rejected a presidential invitation for talks.

The left wing media has been played by brilliantly by Odinga - this is part of his strategy. Dick Morris helped orchestrate that when Odinga hired him. ODM election strategy was overseen by Dick Morris

Shamelessly, al-Zawahri encouraged blacks to join al-Qaida's holy war against the American "oppressor," and sacrifice their blood against "injustice" like the "struggler and martyr" Malcolm X.

He noted that the Muslim civil-rights leader condoned "violent" methods to help win equality for blacks, while implying that blacks today are still oppressed.

"I want blacks in America to know that when we wage jihad in Allah's path, we aren't waging jihad to lift oppression from the Muslims only," al-Zawahri said. "We are waging jihad to lift oppression from all mankind."

Some might argue that Obama shouldn't dignify such enemy agitprop with a response. But as the brother of a black convert (Roy), Obama must know that Islam is flourishing among African-Americans, even since 9/11, and that dozens of converts have been arrested in terrorism cases from Los Angeles to Miami.

The trend is dangerous because it plays right into the hands of al-Qaida, which is trying to lower its Arab profile by recruiting African-Americans for future attacks. That's why al-Qaida leaders like al-Zawahri are inviting blacks to convert to Islam and join them in taking revenge on a nation that they say enslaved their ancestors and continues to "oppress" them.

Obama could have stood up and blunted the effect of such a dastardly appeal by saying he's proof positive blacks aren't oppressed. But he didn't.

He could have argued that the civil-rights battle was won through peaceful resistance, and pointed out that al-Zawahri left out of his racial history lesson the fact that Muslim slave traders sold Africans into bondage. But he didn't.

Obama also could have pointed out that hundreds of African-Americans were murdered by Muslim terrorists on 9/11, and that we are all in this battle against Islamic terrorism together. And he could have praised all the brave black GIs fighting overseas to protect Americans back home. But he didn't.

Obama could have warned fellow African-Americans to ignore the phony pitches of radical Islamists trying to recruit them to a traitorous cause. Or he could have simply told Osama's No. 2 to go pound sand up his nightgown.

But he didn't. He stayed silent. Why?

Too many Americans already suspect that Democrats secretly sympathize with al-Qaida and think America had 9/11 coming. That's what Obama's spiritual adviser seems to suggest. (More here)

 

UPDATE: OBAMA'S HALF BROTHER IS A RADICAL ISLAMIST: hat tip Eric

Obama's older brother still lives there. 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. (More here.)

Abongo Obama also argued that the black man must "liberate himself from the poisoning influences of European culture," Obama wrote. "But the magic of his laughter remains, and we can disagree without rancor." (Chicago Sun Times) 

KENYA: Obama's Deepening Islamist Ties

Obama's tacit support for the ruthless leader of the insurgent rebellion in Kenya is shaping up  to be the 800 lb gorilla in the Obama '08 campaign.

Anne in our comment section sent the latest development in the deepening ties between Obama's pal Odinga (ODM party) and the Islamists. She writes, "Obama's "cousin" the ruthless violent Raila Odinga now nominates the radical Sheikh he signed MOU with as a Member of Parliament (MP) ODM has presented six names to the Electoral Commission of Kenya for nomination as MPs. This will in effect raise their numbers in the House to 105. The proposed nominees include Sheikh Ahmed Dor, the cleric who spearheaded the MoU between ODM presidential candidate Raila Odinga and some Muslim leaders."

Kenyan Muslim leaders urged the Kenyan government to cut off diplomatic ties with the United States 

ODM Nominates Three Women to House

ODM [Odinga's party - Atlas] has presented six names to the Electoral Commission of Kenya for nomination as MPs. This will in effect raise their numbers in the House to 105.

The proposed nominees include Sheikh Ahmed Dor, the cleric who spearheaded the MoU between ODM presidential candidate Raila Odinga and some Muslim leaders, former Gachoka MP Joseph Nyaga, who is a member of the Pentagon, and former Eldama Ravine MP Musa Sirma.

The threat of terrorism in Kenya here. Jamestown org hat tip A Jacksonian

Unlike Kenya, both Uganda and Tanzania have passed their anti-terrorism bills, attracting major funding from the international donor community. Uganda's Suppression of Terrorism Act of 2002 and Tanzania's Anti-Terrorism Law of 2003 empower the state to use all necessary means to investigate terrorist activities and confiscate property belonging to people found to be supporting terrorism. Yet in Kenya, Muslim leaders dismissed their version of the law as a "draconian" document drafted in the United States with the intention of "oppressing" the Muslim community. "It is a bill that uses shock and awe tactics on its citizens while purporting to fight terrorism," said Billow Kerrow, a Muslim Kenyan opposition politician (The Nation, December 7, 2003). "In my view," he said, "our government has gone out of its way to harass its citizens…by arresting, detaining, beating and violating their rights, under pressure from Washington." The government has vehemently denied the allegations, reiterating that its actions in combating terrorism are not targeting any particular group. "No. We are not targeting Muslims or any other community. We have never done so and will not in the future," said Lawrence Mwadime, a deputy policy commissioner (The Standard, October 2).

On September 21, Kenyan Muslim leaders urged the Kenyan government to cut off diplomatic ties with the United States until it explained why President George W. Bush discussed Kenya's political stability with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete.

Obama's Pal uses "Rape as a Weapon"

More brutal and gory details of the man Obama unequivocally supports. Obama is so busted. This is more than bad judgment,  this is scary. A Jacksonian who has done yeoman's work in substantiating Odinga's  nefarious Arab ties and his hand in the ongoing violence that has all of Kenya in its barbaric clutches. Inconceivable horror. Gang raping little girls and boys as many as ten times. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
