		<description>No doubt about it, Al Shabaab do have to respond to the social evils of music, dancing and sports. These things are imported and depraved Western values that destroy families and societies.

Opposing them is supported by 95% of al Shabaab, and you have no right to interfere in our sovereignty. We will decide and act according to our social and family values, whether you approve or not. You are not our colonial masters.

Also, nobody has a right to engage in the behaviour of watching World Cup games. This has nothing to do with real human rights.  This is about opposing evil.

I&#039;m sorry, but it&#039;s not as if these people weren&#039;t aware of the consequences of disobeying God.

The wages of sin are death.

-----------------

Count us in Jim. This appalling act of terror, inspired by religious zealotry and the required dehumanisation of others, is well placed in the long list of your reports about the scalding disregard for gay people in Uganda; and elsewhere.</description>

		<description>Sorry, wrong quote,.

&quot;No gays and lesbians behave this way in the world. No gays and lesbians could be accused of conspiring to commit acts like this against people doing everyday things that people do.
And in fact, gay people are victims of terrorism right along with everyone else.

Yet, the Ugandan government portrayed gays and lesbians among them as a terrible threat and a presence to be found and eliminated.
The preoccupation with gay people lets far more dangerous elements thrive virtually with impunity.

		<description>&quot;In Uganda, gays and lesbians were scrutinized, hunted and talked about as if worse than terrorists, or the mindset that commits acts of violence on human beings, whoever they are.&quot;

You beat me to it, Regan. Bang on!

You really want to scream at the Ugandans: &quot;This is what real bad people are like, not manufactured bad.&quot;

But i am afraid they have their heads  inserted so far up their bums that they can neither see nor hear anything but sh!t.</description>

		<description>“If they want to fight they should find soldiers, not attack people who are just enjoying themselves,” he said.

It is amazing that he can&#039;t see the hypocrasy of this statement.  How is the genocide of GLBT people anything other than &quot;attack(ing) people who are just enjoying themselves”?</description>

		<description>Museveni: &quot;backwards and cowardly&quot;.

Ahem. The &quot;Kill The Gays&quot; leader of Uganda has a thing or two to learn about those words.

I&#039;m with Zeke. My *first* thought was that the Ugandans will either blame gays for this or, more likely, take their anger out on gays. It&#039;s tragic, for certain, but keep your eyes peeled for the phase where citizens lash out at their own.</description>

		<description>I am sure that nobody in Uganda will use this event to point out the dangers of justifying violence in the name of religion.  

Just lots of death and destruction.  No lessons learned.</description>

		<description>Not really Jack, for the reasons prompted in the abstract by Zeke. The Ugandan government, with the participation of SEVERAL American evangelicals, the most famous among them, Rick Warren actively participated in a seriously threatening campaign against gays and lesbians, yet terrorists operated right under their noses and all these people lost their lives so horribly.

 No gays and lesbians behave this way in the world. No gays and lesbians could be accused of conspiring to commit acts like this against people doing everyday things that people do.
And in fact, gay people are victims of terrorism right along with everyone else.

 Yet, the Ugandan government portrayed gays and lesbians among them as a terrible threat and a presence to be found and eliminated.
 The preoccupation with gay people lets far more dangerous elements thrive virtually with impunity.

  Makes no friggin&#039; sense whatsoever. So yeah, it&#039;s quite on topic.</description>
