African Moral Standards

Who would have thought that in a continent where 25% of males in one country can admit to being rapists, where theft is a way of life, and where entire coach loads of footballers can fall under sustained machine gun attacks, that there would be wide ranging prudery.

But the "African Renaissance" statue in Senegal has caused a storm for many reasons, not least apparently because the bare breasted woman is showing too much leg! Yes, her breasts exposed to the sky are apparently OK, but her thighs are considered to be immoral.

Architect Pierre Goudiaby Atepa told journalists in the capital, Dakar, that he had received complaints about the woman's "naked legs". He said that he has now proposed to Mr Wade that the legs be covered with a concrete cloth.

Senegal is largely a Muslim nation but there seems not to be mobs burning Christians or attacking President Wade, because they know what would happen if they did. President Wade has only apologised once over the statue, and this was to Senegal's Christian minority after he compared the "Africa Renaissance" statue to Jesus Christ.

It's really the hopeless continent

Grumpy Old Man - Hands Out Lesson

This story made me laugh, I know I shouldn't have, because it involves violence which resulted in five people being taken to hospital, two of whom were seriously injured ...

... but I couldn't help having some sympathy for the old codger with a bad temper.

Spanish Homosexuals locked up in Gambia

It's quite amazing the lengths to which Islamic countries will go to attack Western values or standards, and yet we say nothing. Its almost like a competition, in which they try to see how supine the West has become.

The latest is the Gambia, which I didn't even realise was "Muslim" because of its attempts to get Western Tourists to its beaches. Under the rule of President Yahya Jammeh ( another African leader with a home cure for Aids, ala President to be Zuma's 'shower cure') homosexuals have been told to leave the country or risk being beheaded.

He has backed that up by arresting two Spanish men as 'homosexuals', as well as telling Senegalese homosexuals they had 24 hrs to flee the country (they had fled Muslim Senegal after mass arrests of homosexuals following a 'gay' wedding). Just in case someone says. 'well strange behaviour by the head of state doesn't have to be 'Islamic' (there are after all many African lunatics running countries)' the country's Supreme Islamic Council, said the president had taken a "principled stand".

EU handouts are unaffected by these two countries repression of homosexuals ... and we wonder why they carry on getting more extreme in their interpretations of Islam.
