SHOULD WE PAY MURDER BY MURDER? DOES THE RELIGION ALLOW THAT?

Today I was shocked when a friend told me about her wish to see a church burned down so as to teach the congregants a lesson. When I asked why, the answer was "Wametuzoea sana" however she did not further explain it. what is the meaning of this? Is it justified to pay a wrong by another one?

The events that unfolded today at Coast leaving four people dead could be used by a child to argue this and win the day. We all woke up in grief with following the sudden demise of sheikh Ibrahim. But sincerely, did we need to to compensate his life with lives of other innocent citizens?

Is it justified by any religious doctrine?

Is it a even justified by any judicial doctrine?

Shall we not be one day held accountable for this? 

Murder is a crime. It Has got not justification.

May God have mercy on us all.

LET'S STOP THIS RELIGIOUS WAR THAT'S LOOMING, FOR COOLING IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE.

Unless we completely prove that we are less concerned with what is going on in our country, it is important and worth noting that the events that have been unfolding in the recent past are more than scaring and a communication of a hot future we may be expecting as a nation. After the westgate attack in Nairobi, few, who were by then seen as societal gimmicks raised an alarm of a religious war but it didn't sound for it was good "We are one" won the day.

But what's the reality of the matter on the ground?

Were we one just for hours?

Were we one just to heal the wounds?

Does it mean few individuals with negative attitude represent a group of people nowadays?

Isn't it true that a religious war is looming hot in Kenya?

Todays events at the coast were a clear indication of a religious war that am talking about. If "you" suspect it's police who killed a leader, why burn down a sanctuary of God?

What's the logic behind it?

What if the assasin was an nihilist?

A religious War!

Just as I said, Calming it after eruption will be costly than preventing it from happening now.

DEPUTY PRESIDENT WILLIAM RUTO LEAVES FOR THE HAGUE AFTER A BREAK IN HIS TRIALS. Safe Journey.

Deputy President of Kenya, Hon. William Ruto
Kenya’s deputy president is said to be leaving tonight for the International Criminal Court of justice(ICCJ) at the Hague, Netherlands tonight. The plane carrying the DP is set to leave today at 10pm.
Hon. Ruto got a break during his trials after westgate mall was attacked by terrorists allegedly linked to the Somali based Al Qaeda group, Al shabaab. The attack claimed the lives of more than 60 people and left hundreds injured. Hon. Ruto, as a patriotic Kenya requested for the break to join other countrymen during that trying moment. Today an interdenominational prayer was held at the KICC for the victims.
Hon. Ruto together with former Kass FM radio presenter Joshua Arap Sang are facing trial in a case they were cojoined by former ICC prosecutor, Louis Moreno Ocampo as “repreentatives of ODM.”
As a Kenyan and christian who believes in justice I take this chance to wish him a safe journey and God’s grace during his journey and while at the Hague.
Only God knows our fate.

FARE THEE WELL DR. DAVID GITARI, TILL WE MEET AGAIN

Retired Archbishop, Dr. David M. Gitari

It is fate in life of any man born of a woman that life must come one day to an end. However, this departure sometimes is usually untimely and leave us in agony and pain when it gets us not prepared. It remains a fact that nature does not allow us to choose the path of our destiny, the path we choose can be overturned shoving us to where we least imagined. This can be a very painful realization. It is a fact of life that all men MUST die.

It was with great sorrow that I learned of the sudden demise of the Retired Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Kenya Dr. David Mukuba Gitari. The late is remembered to have served as the third African archbishop in Africa. He stood and advocated for evangelism and equality of gender in church ordination. 

Gitari's pastoral work, however, led him into political controversy. He preached and campaigned against land grabbing by powerful politicians, challenging economic injustice on a national as well as a local level. In particular, he preached against constitutional changes which introduced voting by queuing (in a specific place, publicly indicating your chosen candidate) instead of by secret ballot. In 1988, he took the lead in opposing the rigging of the general election during the infamous mlolongo (queuing) voting system. He publicly condemned political assassinations and any undemocratic political practices.

Gitari's deep concern for the Kenyan people was not without cost. On the night of April 21, 1989, at the height of his struggle for justice, a large and heavily armed gang of thugs numbering about 100 raided his house. They dug out the security bars and shouted that they had come to kill him. He and his family escaped to the roof and called for help from neighbors. Neighbors came to his rescue just in time and the thugs fled.

It is with no benefit of doubt that all Kenyans of good will shall miss and remember him as a true, selfless, patriot to this noble nation.

Sons and Daughters have lost a loving, caring and responsible father of a Nation that might have never appreciated him while he lived.

In God's arms you rest, in our hearts you live foreFare thee Well, Till We meet Again.
