Barack Obama: Kenyan Jihadi

Barack Obama’s family and political connections to failed Kenyan presidential candidate Raila Odinga (pictured here with Obama in 2006) and others seeking to Islamicize Kenya should be deeply disturbing to American voters. Obam OdingMost Americans have no idea that Kenya is literally on the cutting edge of the global jihad thanks, in part, to the efforts of one Barack Obama.

Given the apparent Democrat decision to choose Obama as their offering for U.S. President, it’s time that the rest of America educate themselves as to who Obama really is and what he really stands for. It’s a scary picture — far scarier than I ever imagined. A couple of months ago, I was actually talking about voting for this guy if Romney bowed out. Not any more.

Who is Odinga and why should Americans care about his close ties to Barack Obama? The story is so big with so many tentacles it’s hard to decide where to begin the telling. Key players include Barack Obama, Obama cousin Raila Odinga, Kenyan jihadi Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi and Obama’s father and mother. We’ll start tonight with Obama and Odinga. Later, we’ll try to fit other pieces into the sordid international puzzle that Barack Obama brings to the U.S. political table.

Of greatest concern to Americans should be what Obama’s moves in Kenya say about his likely willingness to encourage global jihad. We’re not talking here about merely pulling troops out of Iraq. This guy, Obama, campaigned for his jihadi cousin, Odinga, in 2006 as Kenya was preparing for the vote in 2007.

In his failed bid to topple the current Kenyan president, Odinga allegedly entered the written agreement linked below with Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi. In it, Odinga agreed, among other things, to make Islamic Sharia law the law of Kenya if the Sheikh would deliver the votes to put Odinga over the top (click the pic to access the full text):

Odinga’s Jihad Agreement

[July 8, 2008 update: Some have questioned the authenticity of the above document. See my detailed discussion of this issue here, concluding that this MoU is probably genuine despite popular media reports to the contrary].

On page one, Odinga bows to Islam, acknowledging it as “the only true religion.” And that is just the tip of the political iceberg. We can only hope that it sinks Obama’s boat before it reaches Pennsylvania Avenue. Otherwise, we may have hell and Islam to pay around the globe. Far from being a relatively harmless Carterian peacenik, Obama could ignite world war as no one ever has.

After Odinga failed to capture the Kenyan presidency and Odinga’s followers began hacking and burning their way across Kenya, Barack Obama — according to Odinga’s January 8, 2008 BBC radio interview — called Odinga twice, on January 7, 2008, apparently to express his support for Odinga. More on that interview, including an audio link, at the BBC.

Isn’t it fair to ask how any candidate with this kind of personal and political baggage can be a serious candidate for the presidency of the United States?

Melanie Phillips of Spectator UK was mystified, in January, at the American media’s braindead treatment of Obama’s Kenyan connections and their connection to global jihad:

While I was away, reading about the appalling atrocities in Kenya in which churches were torched and dozens of Christians burned to death, I wondered whether any mainstream media would get the point. They didn’t. As far as I could see, the violence was universally ascribed to ‘tribal conflict’.

What are the Democrats thinking as they teeter on the verge of selecting Obama as their presidential nominee? Why has Hillary Clinton done nothing with this story? Is she stupid or scheming? Both?

This is simply stunning. Almost too big to wrap my mind around. Obama campaigned in 2006, promoting his cousin Odinga, who is under contract to set up a Muslim government in a country that is currently predominantly Christian, like 80-90%. Those standing in the way, the Kikuyus, are being murdered. Genocide.
Jihad. Agreeing to set up madrassa schools all across Kenya. And the list goes on. Meanwhile, today Obama is endorsed in Chicago, by Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam. One might suspect something evil is afoot. … And if one doesn’t, one’s head is in the sand.

I emailed this info to Bill O’Reilly. He’s pretty good about checking into this stuff. If all this IS legitimate and accurate information, (which is pretty darn scary) he’ll broadcast it from the rooftops.

3 Kurt Schulzke { 02.25.08 at 9:28 pm }

Tracy — With due respect to Bill O’Reilly, the last think he wants to do as this point is end an entertaining Dem nomination contest by demasking Barack Obama. I’m “pretty good about checking into this stuff,” too. And I don’t post “illegitimate” material. It speaks for itself whether or not Bill O’Reilly thinks it adds to the entertainment value of his show. My job is to relay information. His job is to entertain. Readers may judge which motive is more reliable.

4 Tracy { 03.04.08 at 7:25 pm }

There was no implication that you were posting spurious information Kurt. And knowing your daughter, I assumed your information WAS accurate. But there are ten million posts about politicians on the web. The general public won’t know what’s accurate and what isn’t. How would they know YOURS is? Why should they believe yours above something else that says otherwise? There was some considerable speculation about your post on another site.
My point was that since your article isn’t going to hit the masses, the way it would on the most popular news/talk show on television. Bill wouldn’t talk about it unless he checked it out for accuracy first. So my point was that once he checked it out, if he found it to be true, he’d talk about it on the show, and show all his evidence to back it up. And there it would be, all the evidence on the most watched talk show in the country.
And FWIW, I just disagree about him not reporting it just to keep up the entertainment. Telling the story WOULD be entertaining.

5 Tracy { 03.04.08 at 7:35 pm }

Oh– and I also sent it to Sean Hannity and Laura Ingrahm.
If any of one of them start talking about it, the others will, too.
See? The point is, I want it TOLD. If I didn’t believe you, I wouldn’t have bothered sending it out.

6 Kurt Schulzke { 03.04.08 at 8:19 pm }

:-) I agree that telling the story would be entertaining, but the entertainment would last only a short while. Hannity has begun digging into Obama’s marxist ties. Perhaps once Obama finishes off Hillary, more attention will be directed to those ties and to Obama’s connections to Islamic jihad. Keep up the good work!

It never stops to amaze us in Kenya how naive and gullible you Americans are. Who could believe that anyone would pay such crap the slightest attention!
You post a document that was proved a wreckless forgery as evidence of a pact between Raila Odinga and Kenyan Muslims. What utter nonsense? Abdullahi Abdi, who a lot of Muslims accuse of not being “a true Muslim” because of his close ties with the West you call a jihadi. Well that’s understandable. A clever American is trying to pray on the gullibility of his fellow Americans knowing too well how dim their world view is. Wake up and know more about the rest. Otherwise you will continue being consumers of more crap.

9 Kurt Schulzke { 03.29.08 at 11:32 am }

Nthaka - We are always happy to review evidence of forgeries. Until you produce such evidence, we would be fools not to believe what our own eyes can see. Your sentiments about Americans, by the way, sound very similar to those of Michele Obama. Is that just a coincidence? KS

10 Gravitas { 03.29.08 at 6:47 pm }

Makes one wonder where the gullibility is? We keep hearing Obama insist on his being ignorant of his 20-year pastor’s unquestionable abuse of this country–abusing our trust. Now Americans are accused of ignorance when we expose the wider circle of abuse made evident by Obama’s support of a jihadist movement in Kenya. That looks like triple doublespeak, at the Kenya and Obama ends.

11 Hi { 03.29.08 at 7:30 pm }

The problem is Obama is going to be very hard to beat by November. The Obama-bots are very ardent supporters and the left wing MSM is pulling behind Obama with all of their mights, not for McCain, not for Hillary. This thing is going to snowball into a mighty avalanche. Unless Obama is taken down very soon, it is going to be too late for America.

12 April38 { 04.06.08 at 1:07 am }

Middle Eastern money is 99% certain to be rolling in for Barack, too. If Americans don’t wake up fast and move vigorously to support McCain, we are like lemmings jumping into the sea.

13 Hi { 04.06.08 at 9:15 pm }

I took my own advice and today wrote a letter to my Congressman re: Obama’s involvement with terrorist William Ayers and anti-Israeli, anti-semite Rashid Khalidi. Together with Ayers Obama has funneled money through Khalidi to terrorists in the Middle East. This information is on Youtube and on this website:

14 Kurt Schulzke { 04.06.08 at 10:16 pm }

Glad to hear it. It’s worth a try.

15 j. t. evans { 04.06.08 at 11:06 pm }

Next question that I don’t see anyone addressing: Barack has dual citizenship. He is a Kenyan as well as an American. No one who sits in the Oval Office should have dual citizenship. If there was a clear cut conflict of interest situation, this is one. In a conflict, after listening to Jeremiah Wright for twenty years, whose interests does anyone think he would serve first? Whose interests, after cuddling up to William Ayers to fund terrorism, or his cousin Odinga, to elect terrorists? Who will have access to US state secrets, while Obama pledges loyalty to Kenya? Those are not frivolous questions.

16 Hi { 04.07.08 at 8:20 pm }

How did Obama get dual citizenship as a Kenyan and American? He was born in Hawaii.

17 Gina { 04.26.08 at 10:42 am }

I’m sending this to Glenn Beck. Thanks for the story Mr. Schulzke. Glenn Beck isn’t in the business for entertainment value only, if it stinks he will usually investigate it. Unlike O’Reilly.

18 Linda { 04.27.08 at 11:14 am }

I’m only hearing this two days ago and have connections with Kenya which I have contacted to get more info. I agree with j.t. that those are questions that need to be asked — soon and loudly. It does look as though media knows but is holding it close to the vest, political games, maybe? I’ll be listening, sharing with others, and watching for more. God bless America

19 j. t. evans { 04.27.08 at 11:58 pm }

1-Hawaii was a state before Obama was born.
2.Kenyans, apparently like Americans, acquire citizenship if either parent is a citizen. Obama’s father was a Kenyan. When Kenya became independent in 1963, Obama was awarded that kind of citizenship.

20 j. t. evans { 04.27.08 at 11:59 pm }

I should have indicated the above was in reply to Hi’s question.

21 Ann { 05.09.08 at 3:32 pm }

Good Job Katherine!! Obama has to many ties to Islam to be an American President

22 artattack { 06.04.08 at 11:48 pm }

Note to Tracy: If Bill OReilly were REALLY interested in truth telling, he would have asked the FLDS people about the credibility of their critic, Flora Jessop. Instead, he had her on the air. She is reportedly a less than credible witness. (See Martha Barlow Jessop’s statement on this blog.) Was anyone from the FLDS community invited to respond? Not to my knowledge.

23 Jacinth { 06.05.08 at 3:48 pm }

Absolute rubbish. What garbage, can anyone in his or her own mind believe this. The whole argument is ridiculous and really isn’t worth any comment.

24 Kurt Schulzke { 06.05.08 at 4:40 pm }

Jacinth — That’s quite an argument! How about addressing individual assertions? Did Obama not campaign for Odinga? Is he not Odinga’s cousin? Did he not call Odinga? Did Odinga sign the agreement with pro-Islamic forces or not? Did Odinga’s followers not hack people to pieces after his electoral loss? Which of these facts do you challenge?

25 John Brock { 06.09.08 at 2:42 pm }

WHY IS ALL OF THIS NOT ON TELEVISION?!! 99% of Americans know NOTHING of all of his Islamic and Kenyan ties to terrorists and jihadists and of his dual citizenship to anti-Christian, Muslim countries! The leader of our country should be 100% American, with 100% American loyalty! Am I wrong about this? Now that the media can no longer aim all of their poisonous arrows to Hillary, perhaps SOME of this, hopefully ALL of it, but that’s doubtful, will make it to the media, and to the general public! If he indeed makes it to the Presidency with all of this background (on MANY investigative websites), we could see the next world war or terrorism like we’ve never seen. Many have thought from the beginning that he was a plant, considering his background, but naive Americans just wanted to believe the smooth-talking orator (like most cult leaders), and did not want to see anything negative, they were so desperate. We now know where his infinite supply of money came from, as many suspected, from his “backers” from the beginning, his Islamic and Kenyan connections. Someone DO something!! Tell McCain!

Perhaps a good monicker for political t-shirts to mass market would be:

“Google Obama Odinga”

Yeh baby!

27 Jason { 06.27.08 at 1:33 pm }

Wow. The reason that none of those “journalist” like O’Rielly and the other Fox News “journalists” haven’t broadcast this from the rafters is because it is patently untrue.

Kurt asks for evidence that this is a forgery:
http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-kenya.htm

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/kenya.asp

The first debunks the origin of the Memorandum of Understanding as a forged fax. The Society for Internet Research republished an African Political Science Journal’s review of a timeline regarding the Kenyan election and had the following to say about the forgery that Kurt lauds as a verified document here:

“After captivating the country for several weeks, the MoU—which was widely circulated on the internet as the ultimate dangerous piece of accord—turned out to be an agreement aimed at safeguarding the interest of the Muslims, which said nothing about the Shari’ah law. Much more importantly, it does not have any dangerous implication or any potential of fomenting religious cleavages in Kenya, as had been claimed by the Christians and some Muslims before the exposure of the MoU by Sheikh Abdullahi Abdi.”

http://www.sofir.org/sarchives/006273.php

Furthermore, even if this document was true, it would be an argument of guilt by association. Obama was sworn in on the Bible. Obama is a Christian who attends Christian churches. Those on the right can’t condem his Christian affiliations and simulataneously claim that he is a Muslem Manchurian Candidate.

Finally, there is no evidence that this man is Obama’s cousin, so the guilt by association argument is actually spurious. Using this logic any number of Kenyan politicans that have claimed to be related to him are.

In actuality Obama is a closer relative to George W. Bush than to Odinga. Bush and Obama are 10th cousins once removed. Obama is also distantly related to Cheney.

This is a pitiful attempt to smear a decent man who best embodies the America that we must become. I would remind anyone trying to circulate this rumor of the 9th Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor”. This is a false rumor and spreading it or trying to give it credibility is a sin. Do the right thing.

Sincerely,

Jason

28 Mr IntheKnow { 06.29.08 at 12:56 pm }

Obama did not campaign for Odinga. He is not Odinga’s cousin in the way we mean cousin, in Kenya anyone with roots to the same tribe is called cousin, sort of like if you called anyone born in the same town as you a cousin. He does not have contact with Odinga other than he met him once when he visited Kenya with his father. Odinga is scum, but that has nothing to do with Obama. Sorry, facts are a stubborn thing.

29 Mr IntheKnow { 06.29.08 at 12:58 pm }

Oh, and Kenya is 70% christian.

30 Gravitas { 06.30.08 at 12:05 am }

Facts are indeed stubborn things, not to be confused with wishful thinking.
Odinga is indeed a first cousin of Barack Obama. The senator’s father is Odinga’s maternal uncle. That is his claim, and Barack has not disputed it.

Photos show him campaigning in Kenya with Odinga sitting beside him. You may add to that mix that Obama’s half-brother, Roy, is a lieutenant of Odinga’s and very much involved in the mess.

I’m not sure what relevance there is to claiming Kenya as 70% Christian. What is relevant is that the Muslim population of that country is now 10%, described as “the historic tipping point where Muslims traditionally assert themselves and their sharia law on the poor, unsuspecting host country.” (http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/01/obama-islam-and.html)
And so they have, at the end of December burning hundreds of Christians alive in a church into which they had fled for refuge.
Obama has not distanced himself from this campaign. In which he did participate.

31 Kurt Schulzke { 07.08.08 at 12:06 pm }

Jason –

My update at

http://iperceive.net/odinga-abdi-obama-which-islamic-mou-is-real/

analyzes the MoU question in far more detail than anything at Snopes or Truth or Fiction.

Truth or fiction’s review is basically a hoax of its own. Doesn’t document anything.

The Snopes page you reference misses the mark entirely. Has nothing to do with anything I posted here about Obama. It refers to a hoax e-mail on which I’ve never relied containing allegations I’ve never repeated.

While it will never be certain, the evidence suggests that the NAMLEF-Odinga MoU presented here is as valid as any other in circulation, including the one that Odinga himself circulated three months after word of the MoU leaked into the press.

Odinga and NAMLEF have never explained why they waited three months to disclose an MoU text. Perhaps a reader can speculate (since Odinga won’t disclose) as to the reason for the delay.

Best,

KS
