Obama Gives Somalia $1.5 Billion
– Somalia Government Bans Christmas
The
Somali Government has banned celebration of Christian festivities in
the country.
I can't remember the name of this movie, I want to say it was a Michael
Crichton book. It opens in some African
village, with missionaries tending the sick. A
startling discovery is made. It seems something like West Nile
Viris, or Black Plague is killing the people like flies. There's
a monkey involved .
Next scene. CDC helicopters, maybe WHO too, descend on the
village to take care of the afflicted. Not They seal the
village off, after rounding up any who've wandered away, and napalm the
village and its inhabitants to hell. The ultimate quarantine. [Full]
A directive released on Tuesday by the Ministry of Justice and
Religious Affairs stated that no Christian festivities could be held in
Somalia.
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.
The ban came just hours before Christmas Day, when Christians celebrate
the birth of Jesus Christ, their spiritual saviour.
“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.” [Gateway]
If
there is a geographic region more deserving of being turned into a
sheet of glass than Somalia, I cannot at the moment think of
it. I
mean, at least the Chinese have good food, and the Russians pretty
women .. .
