[kictanet] Red Card for the Sheikhs

[Harry Delano]

You mean, there is something called Sharia law, in this country...???
 
Last time I checked, it's the kind of law applied and dictated by
fundamentalists
upon hapless citizenry, with no regard whatsoever for the very basic of
basic 
human rights..
 
So, who is fooling who..?  Next thing, internet will be outlawed in that
section
of the nation. Who knows where next. And this is at a time we working to
open up space and bridge the national divide. Time to smell coffee...

Please note Article 24 Subsection 4 of our soon to be new constitution
limits how the Bill of Rights may apply to the one religion the Kenyan state
is funding with the approval of Kenyans who vote YES!

Of course the Kenyan media is too busy slandering Churches to point this
out.

The recent move by Muslim Sheikhs to enforce Sharia Law, outlaw DSTV,
video dens & related activities in Mandera could not have come at a
more unfortunate time. The support they have received from SUPREM
(Supreme Council of Kenya Muslims) further complicates the debate on
the "continued" inclusion of Kadhi Courts in our Constitution.

Now that the SUPKEM has proved to support such apparent 'treason' in
my secular nation,  President Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga must
also commit to ensuring that religion and religious courts are omitted
from the new constitution. That is the pact they must sign with the NO
campaign if a YES vote is to sail through without question. No
religion, especially fundamentalist Islam, should enjoy the privileges
of my hard-earned taxes to propagate religious activities that may
disintegrate into such treasonable actions as by the Sheikhs.

My vote would easily change to a resounding "NO" unless I am assured
by the Constitution that no Sheikh or Buddist monk, Hindu priest or
Christian cleric will get away with the absurd audacity of attempting
to determine where I watch my Supersport matches, what I drink as I do
so; where and what I can smoke or drink in an independent secular
KENYA.

No religion should 'get it twisted' on its place in secular Kenya and
no loopholes should allow Sheikhs or SUPKEM to get away with such
treasonable actions.

Wainaina
