Thanks for the insight. I KNEW there was a Muslim element in the violence, but wasn’t sure which of the players were the Muslims. And now sharia law is being imposed on those people and worshipping the CROSS is now banned.

The Religion of peace strikes again.

On the 27th, Raila Odinga, Obama’s friend, lost the presidential election in Kenya. Obama and Odinga share the same Luo heritage

BBC-Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga has said he is a cousin of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Mr Odinga told the BBC's The World Today that Senator Obama's father was his maternal uncle.

Raila Odinga has said he is a cousin of US presidential hopeful Barack Obama

The significance of this revelation is that Odinga entered into 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, that would turn Kenya into an Islamic state upon Odinga's victory in the presidential election on 12/27.

When Odinga lost, he immediately claimed foul and the riots commenced - - at least one Christian church was burned to the ground with its parishoners inside.

A link to the Memorandum is contained in the story at the bottom of The Obama File
