Obama Gives Somalia $1.5 Bil, Somalia Bans Christmas

Barack Obama, right, is dressed as a Somali elder by Sheikh Mahmed Hassan

Somalia has about 1,000 surviving Christians. And that’s a challenge in a country where everyone is either in an Islamic militia or trying to move to the United States to sponge off welfare and plot terrorist bombings.

In 2009, four Christian orphanage workers were beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam. Now Somalia has gotten enough of its act together to ban Christmas.

The Somali Government has banned celebration of Christian festivities in the country.

The Director General of the ministry, Sheikh Mohamed Khayrow Aden, and the Director of the Religious Matters, Sheikh Ali Sheikh Mohamud alias Sheikh Ali Dhere, held a press conference in the capital Mogadishu, to make the announcement.

“We alert fellow Muslims in Somalia that some festivities to mark Christian Days will take place around the world in this week,” said Sheikh Ali Dhere during the press conference, adding: “It is prohibited to celebrate those days in this country.”

Mr Aden, on his part, stated that all security and law enforcement agencies had been instructed to counter any such celebrations.

He added that copies of the directive were delivered to hotels and other meeting places in Mogadishu.

Meanwhile Obama has plowed at least $1.5 billion into the terrorist Muslim hellhole.

On January 17, 2013, the United States formally recognized the Federal Government of Somalia as an acknowledgement of the recent political and security gains in Somalia.

The United States is committed to assisting Somalia. At the second London Conference on Somalia on May 7, Deputy Secretary William J. Burns announced plans to provide, subject to Congressional notification, an additional nearly $40 million for Somalia.

Since 2009, the United States has provided over $1.5 billion in assistance to Somalia, including $545 million in FY 2012.

The U.S. Government hopes to continue substantial financial support to Somalia in future years that will support Somalia’s progress and transition to longer-term development.

Meanwhile Somali migration to the United States continues unabated so that the United States can become as peaceful and tolerant as Somalia.

Too bad the Republicans won't stand up and cut the White house’s purse strings.

They could sure save a lot of Christian lives around the world if they only would.

Obama has been funding the murder of babies and Christians everywhere he can.

If we could take all the Somalis in the US, split up the 1.5 billion amongst them, and send them back to Somalia—it would be worth it.

Which warlords will be the beneficiaries of Obama’s largess?

Our children and grandchildren are their benefactors, and it is they who will be charged with repaying the loans.

If you watched the movie — CAPTAIN PHILIPS (Starring Tom Hanks ), the actors who played the Somali pirates were Somali migrants living in Minnesota.

They came here as REFUGEES.

$q.5 billion to a country with no government? That money will be divided up to the most powerful warlords for their personal use.

These rat bas**rds killed our Soldiers and drug their naked bodies through the streets. And we’re giving them money? Good thing the Democrats are taking money from the retired Veterans. Maybe if Patty Murray killed some retired Veterans and drug their naked bodies through the streets of Seattle, Paul Ryan might give her some more money.

“Too bad the Republicans won’t stand up and cut the White house’s purse strings.”

The Republicans in the House have controlled the federal government purse strings since January 2011. Since then they have enabled all of the spending Obama and the Democrats desired. No departments or programs have been eliminated. Even the sequester was a joke. Obamacare marches on unimpeded by any Republican action. Obama’s discretionary spending authority has not been restrained. Regulatory agencies continue to run wild.

The Republican Party is all talk and no action. Much as I abhor them, the Democrats actually fight for their professed beliefs and goals. Republicans merely talk a conservative game during election year and then proceed to support the Democrat Party program once elected or reelected.

That's a staggering amount of financial aid. So much, in fact, that I was going to raise the BS flag on this claim. But sure enough, Greenfield's link goes straight to the State Department's .gov website where it's printed in plain English for everyone to see.

Just unfreakingbelievable.
