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

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
