Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to ...

If you are Kenyan or of Kenyan sympathy, you probably find this stale and maybe compost, but for the lay Ugandan, the matter is still of vehement freshness, ad interest, tho not as much to beat of that tribe that uproots rails at any trace of dissatisfaction, seemingly as an ardent pass time of sorts! (yes I think you know who!) Before you move quick to lay claim of your knowledge in the matter, let me just point out a few pieces of my argument okay? ( thank you) I knew of the matter which am yet to indulge you in already (as in long before today), but for the perfect excuse of procrastination that failed. Any way, so I got to learn in absolute dismay and a touch of disgust, over some Kenyan T.v broadcast(News actually) that our serekali (gov't) bent over and let the Kenyan coalition have it's day with the bone, we literally bent over, shut our eyes, took out the tape and gagged our mouths for their toast and amusement. I watched as the Kenyan foreign affaires kitchwa(head)puff...
