KENYA: Muslim clerics declare war on condoms

GARISSA, 12 May 2008 (PlusNews) - Muslim leaders in Kenya's North Eastern Province have resolved to campaign against the promotion of condoms as a means of preventing HIV. The decision was made after a recent meeting on the theme of "Islam and Health", attended by more than 60 Muslim scholars and teachers in the provincial capital of Garissa. "A lot of money is being wasted to poison our community ... a huge amount of money is spent on buying condoms, buying immorality," Sheikh Mohamud Ali, of Garissa district, told IRIN/PlusNews.

But in Islam it is acceptable to have 4 wives, numerous concubines, even to avail oneself of the services of a prostitute. Sexuality is a man's domain. To control the population Islam must keep its people ignorant. Aids awareness and advice destroys that controls. Aids awareness empowers women. Thus leaving the clerics with a dilemma. Allow condoms and birth control. Allow women some power. Or lie to them about Aids and keep the people ignorant, but in their control. We can see which path they chose.

Abdi Welli, a taxi driver in Garissa, told IRIN/PlusNews he agreed with the clerics that condoms should be banned. He believed the widespread myth that condoms and contraceptives were laced with the HI virus. "We know the condoms are not safe ... if you want to contract the virus that causes AIDS, then use [a condom]," he said. "After all, we have heard in the past that the Western world is using the condom to eliminate Africans, and Muslims in particular."

The population of Kenya is 31,987,000. There are 1,300,000 people in Kenya with HIV/AIDS, 6.1% of the population. The annual death rate is 140,000 people. This leaves 1,100,000 orphans. But those rates don't mean a thing. After all it is the will of Allah.

It is a myth spread by Islamic Clerics that HIV/AIDS is spread by shaking hands with a Jew. Or through condom programs. Or as Jeremiah Wright so eloquently said: "The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied." Poor black men and women. The big bad government is committing genocide through AIDS. There are better and cheaper was to kill off a population.





Yes the government lied about it. It is a big conspiracy to kill off all the blacks in America and Africa. The big bad government placed it into Polio Vaccine or Small Pox Vaccine. This conspiracy is up there with Roswell and the JFK assassination.

In the US we have Jeremiah Wright pushing this nonsense. In Kenya it is Islam. Both are considered Men of G-d. But they are actually Men of Evil. In the US people think for themselves and enjoy the benefits of a free society. But in Kenya the poorest are uneducated and listen to their clerics. And they will be the ones who will suffer the consequences of this bad choice.
