Hundreds of Kenyan
Pastors to Obama: Stop Preaching Homosexuality
Hundreds of Kenyan pastors have
had enough of President Barack Obama’s aggressive push for African nations to
forsake their religious convictions and fully embrace homosexual behavior and
same-sex “marriage.”
(One News Now) – The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya,
comprised of 700 pastors, welcomes Obama to visit their nation this summer —
provided he stop pressuring Kenyans to forsake their religious convictions by
endorsing the homosexual lifestyle.
“President Barack Obama is welcome to visit Kenya this
summer — but please, leave the preaching to us,” the ecumenical coalition of
religious leaders proclaimed.
Bishop Mark Kariuki, a megachurch pastor who advises some
700 pastors as the leader of the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, says what isn’t
welcome is a repeat performance of Obama scorning believers for not ascribing
to his homosexual agenda.
“We would like to
send a strong message to the U.S. president that the homosexuality debate
should not become part of his agenda, as it has been his tendency whenever he
comes to Africa,” Kariuki told Kenya’s Daily Nationnewspaper on
Monday.
Mind your own business
Kariuki stresses that Obama’s past directives to the Kenyan
nation — where his Muslim father was born — were not only authoritative in
nature, but disrespectful of Kenyans’ traditions and belief systems.
“[Obama] should respect the faith, culture and people of
Kenya when he comes in July,” Karuiki implored. “He should not put
[homosexuality] as one of his main agenda[s] in the country.”
Christians aren’t the only ones in Kenya wary of Obama’s
visit, as the Inter-Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK), along with members of
the Kenyan Parliament have scheduled a protest of the president’s visit to a
country many critics consider his homeland.
“We are not prepared to accept, hear or listen to anyone
lecturing us on how our culture is good or bad,” said IRCK Chairman Adan Wachu.
Showing more boldness in his foreign policy when it comes to
homosexuality than to his war on terror, Obama is believed to be overstepping
his authority and jurisdiction by making his aggressive LGBT agenda the
centerpiece of his international campaign — especially throughout the African
continent.
“In June 2013, Obama provoked a clash with the president of
Senegal, Mackey Sall, over the nation’s rejection of the LGBT political
agenda,” LifeSiteNews reports. “Standing alongside Sall just the day after
the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Defense of Marriage
Act, Obama said that people should be accorded rights based on ‘sexual
orientation.’”
At that time, Obama insisted that the world should adopt his
endorsement of LGBT “rights,” declaring, “And that’s a principle that I think
applies universally.”
Believing the president was insinuating that his west
African nation enforced discriminatory policies, Sall quickly retorted that
Senegal “is not homophobic” and is “very tolerant” of its people.
Obama may have skipped the land of his forefathers on his
$100-million African vacation in 2013, when he condemned the continents’
nations for their “anti-homosexual” policies, but Kenyan leaders nonetheless
reproved the president’s statements.
“[Homosexuality] goes against our customs and traditions,”
Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto declared while speaking at St. Gabriel’s
Catholic Church in Maili Kumi. “We believe in God … This nation, the nation of
Kenya, is sovereign and God-fearing.”
A call to destruction?
Archibishop of Nairobi Cardinal John Njue called out Obama
and other international leaders for their role in the destruction of nations
embracing the failed social experiment of homosexuality.
“Those people who have already ruined their society … let
them not become our teachers to tell us where to go,” urged Njue, who also
serves as president of the Kenyan Episcopal Conference. “I think we need to act
according to our own traditions and our faiths.”
Many on the African continent have become disillusioned with
the president since he took office in 2009, especially after completing his
“evolution” to favor same-sex marriage in May 2012, when he ramped up his
pro-LGBT agenda on a global scale.
“The standoff was a pretty pass for a president elected on
the promise that he would restore tranquility and peace to America’s
relationship with other nations around the world,” LifeSiteNews’ Ben Johnson
reports. “It was neither the first nor the last time that the president decided
that advancing the homosexual agenda trumped indigenous African human rights
issues.”
Support homosexuality … or else …
Using funding — or the retraction of it — to persuade other
nations to be on board with the worldwide push to embrace homosexual behavior,
Western nations are doing all they can to normalize the unbiblical practice
around the world.
“In 2011, Western nations denied Malawi nearly $350 million,
because the nation banned homosexual activity,” Johnson continued. “Wikileaks
revealed the Obama administration coordinated with homosexual activists to
promote the LGBT agenda in Sierra Leone.”
World Congress of Families Executive Director Janice
Shaw Crouse says that Obama is indiscriminately ramrodding the LGBT to uproot
and destroy the religious and cultural mores that nations have embraced for
millennia globally.
“[Obama’s actions are a form of] ‘cultural imperialism’ —
exporting the sexual crusade of a very small minority of Americans with
outsized influence [who have tried] to tear down the moral foundations of our
nation, as well as the rest of the world,” Crouse told LifeSiteNews.
And it has been noted that Obama’s campaign to promote
homosexuality has trumped his so-called war on terror.
“Recently, both U.S. political and African religious leaders
say the Obama administration withheld aid to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram, the
Islamic terrorist organization, because the nation rejects same-sex
‘marriage,’” Johnson recounted.
It is believed that, if elected, leading Democratic
presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will follow in Obama’s footsteps when it
comes to pushing the homosexual agenda both domestically and abroad.
“There is a whole movement in which many people in the Obama
administration are involved — Hillary Clinton at the forefront — that is
pushing the ‘sexual rights’ agenda,” asserted Sharon Slater, who produced Cultural
Imperialism: The Sexual Rights Agenda. “[African political leaders] were
being blackmailed, bribed and bullied into accepting sexual rights that run
counter to their religious and cultural values.”
Corroborating Christians’ and conservatives’ fears that
former secretary of state Clinton would follow up Obama’s full-fledged
propagation of the homosexual agenda, she candidly proclaimed last month that
faiths opposed to homosexual behavior must denounce the moral precepts
undergirding their beliefs derived from their holy scriptures.
“Religious beliefs [against abortion and homosexuality] have
to be changed,” Clinton insisted.
