Kenya is such Kenya

I've been there before and found the people to be very friendly, well-educated, and starkly different from the human detritus that live just across the border in Somalia. It's a lingering effect of the British influence that's left Kenya as probably the most stable and consistently prosperous country in Africa.

Kenya and Tanzania were both pretty stable places.......as was Rhodesia.

As for Somalia, as I've mentioned before, I spent a few years working there and I found that most folk there wanted the same thing that everyone else wanted, peace, security and the opportunity to just live and watch their children grow. Unfortunately, many Islamists see themselves at war with the rest of the world and those who don't practice their Saudi inspired and financed version of Islam. These pricks are running the show in too many places, including Somalia and Afghanistan.

That's sad that they don't have enought oil, no hope for US.

Somalia has plenty of oil - estimates of their reserves run as high as 110 billion barrels of oil. The problem is that the leadership of the country wants to keep the people starving, poor, and ignorant so they're easier to control and oil wealth will make that job all the harder. So they end up opposing all development of oil resources.

What do you think? Is this a good opportunity to open up some NRA chapters in sub-Saharan Africa?

And why is it that while most people want the same thing as you said that these extremists are running the show. And not just there but everywhere to some extent.

I would be surprised if you didn't know that

The death toll from this weekend's expressions of peace by the followers of the child-molesting 'prophet' stand at:

$1:

81 Christians dead in Pakistan.

142 dead after a jihadist killing spree in Nigeria.

62 innocents slaughtered in the Nairobi shopping mall.

2 NATO troopers killed in Afghanistan.

16 Christians killed by Moro separatists in the Phillipines.

1 Lithuanian EU worker killed in Kosovo.

50 Hindus dead in India.

Of course, these are all totally isolated incidents that have nothing to do with Islam.

And the only one that is making the headlines (ALL freakin' day) is the Nairobi Mall one...
Why's that??

[BartSimpson]

Brenda Brenda:

Why's that??

Because there's Americans and Canadians involved. And the attackers included a British woman and several US citizens (of convenience) who originated in Somalia.

And when it comes to the Western media the rest of the world doesn't count and then they also tend to ignore stories that make their pet muslims look bad.

I was just perusing the headlines on Google from the past month and gleaned a few 'winners' that involve the followers of a certain religion:

$1:

Syrian rebels slash throat of Christian, taunts fiancée ‘Jesus didn’t save him’

Saudi imam rapes, tortures, murders 5-yr-old daughter because he ‘doubted her virginity’

Afghan honor killing: Man shoots wife for going to market without his permission

8-year-old Yemeni bride dies of injuries sustained during wedding night rape

Muslim Brotherhood: Women to blame for the rise in gang rapes

The Dutch papers are full of the Nairobi Mall shooting (a Dutch woman was killed...) but nothing about the rest...

Like I said, it's all out on Google News but you have to go digging to find it all. And you're right that no one in the West seems to give a rip about what happened to non-Westerners over the weekend.

The slaughter in Nigeria was double that of Kenya but because no Westerners were reported murdered then they don't count to the media.

Plus, there was pretty decent coverage when the Americans were involved with Iraq, wasn't there?

Benn Hubby reminds me that when he was doing the Civy Contractor his company had extra insurance on all employees out of country. It was taken out for acts of war they even had kidnap insurance. It is just a cost of doing business
