Kenya Suffers More KillingPosted on Jan 28, 2008
The death toll in Kenya has risen to roughly 800 as violence and rioting continue following a disputed and ethnically charged election. The two candidates in that contest refuse to come to agreement, and some of their supporters have formed gangs along tribal and clan lines.

Obama’s close support of and alliance with the Islamic extremist Odinga in Kenya should be investigated and reported widely so that americans realize that there is more to the “exotic” background of Obama. Obama’s Church insists on a :non negotiable commitment to Africa” ..this surely calls into question the loyalties and ideologies of OBAMA.
“Kibaki is close ally of the US in the war against Islamic terror. In stark contrast, Odinga is an ally of Islamic extremists. On August 29 Odinga wrote a letter to Kenya’s pro-jihadist National Muslim Leaders Forum. There he pledged that if elected he would establish Sharia courts throughout the country; enact Islamic dress codes for women; ban alcohol and pork; indoctrinate schoolchildren in the tenets of Islam; ban Christian missionary activities, and dismiss the police commissioner, “Who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists.”
Although Odinga is an Anglican, he referred to Islam as the “one true religion” and scorned Christians as “worshipers of the cross.” Obama strongly supports Odinga who claims to be his cousin. As Daniel Johnson reported recently in the New York Sun, during his 2006 visit to Kenya, Obama was so outspoken in his support for Odinga that the Kenyan government complained to the State Department that Obama was interfering with the internal politics of the country. After the Dec. 27 elections Obama interrupted a campaign appearance in New Hampshire to take a call from Odinga”

What happened here? Obama, who aspires to be the next, world’s most powerful leader, personally called them and asked them to stop behaving so badly some weeks ago. And, they have not listened! Sure hope this is not any indication as to his powers of persuasion with leaders in other countries.
