About half a year ago I posted here about my concerns on the growing security threat facing Kenya from lawless Somalia unless drastic preemptive action was taken. There are various elements from that territory (some have already shown their hand in last week's audacious riots in Nairobi's CBD) who threaten our way of life and the government must waste no more time in taking decisive action to smash them.
Otherwise we face a real risk of having Kenyan womens' bras confiscated if they should fail the Al-Shabab firm-bust test.
Haha. I love how ironic this is. During the post-election violence, North-Eastern was the most peaceful province and even received many IDPs from other provinces. Also, Muslim communities tended to be more peaceful than their Christian counterparts. They even welcomed IDPs, donated money and foodstuffs to help IDPs and generally abode by the law. No one said anything about Kikuyus or Luos being a danger to national security. Many Muslims didn't not feel comfortable living as Kenyans when all the tribal violence (by Christians) was going on, so Dennis Nzioka please spare us the speech about being afraid to liv in your own country because "the Muslim threat". You people forget so easily the time when Muslims were the beacon of Kenyan peace and stability. You ignore that an overwhelming majority of Guantanamo detainees and those detained in other similar facilities are completely innocent. Worst of all, you make assumptions about a religion you know close to nothing about and go as far assuming that it is Islam which is violent instead of a few people who are lashing out against the injustices committed against them (though i admit, they do so in the wrong manner). You'd make a very interesting case-study for a psychologist studying amnesia or turrets.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Do you even know what the functions of the Kadhis court are? How has it failed when it barely had any power to begin with? Kadhis courts only deal with matters such as marriage and inheritance, which they do a much better job of settling peacefully (and to the satisfaction of all parties) than other courts.
Funny. Members of parliament from another country living in another country. Without touching on Al-Faisal or anyone else involved in his saga, I'd say in general I'd love for visitors to be grateful, accept hospitality and not engage in unbecoming acts - least of all rioting and causing mayhem in the host country!! This is a security issue more than religious.
ReplyDelete@ Shiko,
ReplyDeleteYou're right, this is about security (mainly the lapses of), the overwhelming majority of people from Somalia living in this country just want to live in peace. xx xxx
It's a shame that some will blame a religion on something that a few do. A professor told me once, 'there's a a thin almost-invisible line between what's there and what we see (whether out of our own delusional choice or what the media sticks in front of our noses)'.
ReplyDeleteKush nailed it with his/her response.
ReplyDeleteSad, Dennis/Pater, that as a person from a social group that is discriminated against, you choos to tar another WHOLE group with the same brush.
