UH-OH: "Kenya court rules Islamic courts are illegal"

THE ISLAMISTS WON'T TAKE THIS COURT DECISION LYING DOWN.

I HAVE FEELING THIS MEANS KENYA IS HEADED FOR OUT-AND-OUT JIHADIST FUELED CIVIL WAR BY AUTUMN...

MORE HERE (FROM A KENYAN PAPER FEW WEEKS AGO):

The government [INCLUDING OBAMA COUSIN PM RAILA ODINGA] is facing opposition from Christian churches, which have vowed to lead the ‘No’ campaign after talks to strike a deal on contentious issues in the new set of laws failed....

... Christian leaders are also opposed to the retention of kadhi’s courts in the proposed constitution under Article 169 and 170, which limit their authority to disputes over personal status, marriage, divorce or inheritance, where all the parties are Muslims and agree to take the case to a kadhi.

They have been joined in the ‘No’ campaign by a team of ODM leaders from the Rift Valley led by Higher Education minister William Ruto.

Others in the ‘No’ campaign include Kaddu leader Cyrus Jirongo and Igembe South MP Mithika Linturi of Kanu.

The proposed constitution was published last Thursday.

SO: THE BATTLE LINES ARE DRAWN.

I HAVE A FEELING THIS ISSUE WON'T BE RESOLVED BY THE REFERENDUM OR THE COURTS.

ISLAMISTS RESPECT NEITHER.

I PREDICT A BLOODY SECTARIAN CIVIL WAR. IT MAY VERY BEGIN ON REFERENDUM DAY ON AUGUST.

STAY TUNED...

I wonder if the President will send troops if this happens. After all, his wife says he really likes the country.
