Religion of Peace – Words vs Actions
The Words:
“Fears that Muslims want to introduce Sharia law and make Islam the supreme religion in this country are false and only meant to generate hostility between us and our Christian and Hindu brothers. Islam does not suppress other religions.”
-Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga (claims to be Obama’s cousin )
The Actions:
As reported by the Australian in January, a crowd of some 2,000 Kenyans attacked Christians in Eldoret, a community about 300 kilometers west of Nairobi, where the Christians were being hunted down by machete-wielding assailants and hid inside pit latrines and fled for refuge to the community’s Assemblies of God Christian church.
The crowd set fire to the church, terrifying the hundreds of family members outside who listened to victims’ screams as flames engulfed them.
According to Red Cross witnesses, about 50 died in the attack.
In recent years, a number of Islamic attacks on Christian churches have been reported in Kenya, where the population of some 30 million is about 85 percent Christian and only about 15 percent Muslim.
Islamic violence in Kenya broke out once again in the aftermath of the disputed Dec. 27 election.
