Former minister Femi Fani-Kayode has written an article criticizing
what the United States has become, and also hitting out at Sen. Patrick Leahy.
Read the article below.
The United States of America funded and led the fight
against tyranny and the German Kaiser (Emperor) Wilhelm 2nd in World War 1. She
led the fight against fascism, the Axis Powers and Adolf Hitler’s Germany in
World War 2.
She led the fight against communism, Josef
Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev, Leonid Brezhnev, the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet
Union in the cold war. She led the fight against Saddam Hussein in the two Gulf
Wars and the fight against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the war against terror.
On all these occasions and many others the Americans literally saved the world.
That is the United States of America that we know and
love. In those days, in the conduct of their foreign policy, they led by
example, they displayed solid religious values, they feared God and they stood
firmly against all manner of evil.
Sadly things appear to have changed in the last few
years. Today’s America seeks to impose her culturally deviant and strange
values on the rest of the world by hook or by crook.
Today’s America boastfully and openly erects statues
of and builds monuments to Satan (the Lord of Destruction) in her cities, all
in name of religious freedom.
Today’s America openly celebrates the cult of humanism
and the rejection of God in all its dealings and affairs. Today’s America says
things like “we will compel Nigeria to accept homosexuality and gay marriage”.
Today’s America, through its Supreme Court, has
redefined the institution of marriage, has rejected its traditional definition
and has affirmed the right of every American to enter into same-sex marriages-
a course of action which is in direct contradiction with the Holy Bible and
which is nothing less than an affront to the Living God.
Today’s America has done more than any other country
in the world to destabilise and topple Arab and North African secularist
governments and to help spread the dreaded Wahhabi/salifist philosophy,
jihadist terror and Islamic fundamentalism.
Today’s America has isolated the State of Israel and
has pampered and appeased the traditional enemies of the Jewish state more than
any other.
Today’s America has provoked and alienated Russia,
caused a civil war in the Ukraine, divided eastern Europe, increased tensions
and nuclear proliferation amongst the world powers and made the world a far
more dangerous and unstable place.
Today’s America has a police force that slaughters
blacks for sport and has a military that indulges in the systematic torture and
rape of prisoners of war. Today’s America gives sodomy a pride of place in the
affairs of men. I could go on and on.
So much has gone wrong in “the land of the free and
the home of the brave”. So much has gone awry in “Gods own country” and all of
it has happened under the watch and during the tenure of office of a suave,
good-looking, elegant, eloquent, brilliant and seemingly gentle, humble and
pious African American President who first rode into power in 2008 on the
slogan “yes we can”.
Little did we know at that time that “yes we can”
actually meant “anything goes”. Yet despite all these challenges and
conflicting signals one thing remains clear: many of us, including this writer,
still love America and we always will.
Our admonitions and observations are made out of love
and concern and not out of anger or hatred. Let us pray that the USA gets back
up there again where she belongs.
Let us pray that she turns back to God and that her
glory is restored. Let us hope that in 2016 the American people elect a
President that “knows God”, fears Him and stands in awe of Him.
Meanwhile I have a few more questions for U.S. Senator
Patrick Leahy.
The United States of America, both directly and
through their regional allies like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Kuwait and
various other Arab Gulf states, supplied millions of dollars’ worth of arms to
the vicious Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organisation known as the Al Nusra
Front three years ago in Syria in an attempt to get rid of President Bashir Al
Assad. Did they forget about the Leahy Act then?
Did they not recognise the fact that when Al Nusra was
going from town to town wiping out whole civilian populations, including women
and children, and openly cutting out and eating the hearts of their victims
that it was a gross violation of human rights? Worse still they filmed their
barbarous behavior and proudly aired it on the internet.
The Al Nusra Front was to later transmute into the
beast called ISIS and the rest is history. Who created, funded and fed that
beast at the initial stage? Who encouraged them at the outset? Was it not
America?
Come to think of it who funded and created Al Qaeda
itself and who supported and armed Osama Bin Ladin to resist and fight the Soviets
in Afghanistan right from the start? Was it not America?
Again who supported and funded Saddam Hussein in the
early years and who sold him millions of dollars’ worth of weapons to fight a
war against Iran in an attempt to topple Ayatollah Khomeni after the Iranian
revolution? Was it not America?
Where was U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy on all these
occasions? Did he lose his voice? Was he on vacation in Hawaii? Did he complain
about the atrocities and human rights violations committed by the Al Nusra
Front, Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein at the appropriate times?
In particular why was he so silent about the
atrocities of Al Nusra three years ago and why did he not call them ”rapists
and murderers” in the same way that he called our soldiers same?
Why was his celebrated Leahy Act not invoked to stop
the Obama administration from supplying arms to the Al Nusra Front in the same
way that it was invoked to stop them from supplying arms to our Armed Forces?
Senator Leahy should explain that one away to the
world instead of insulting the sensibilities of our people. Who is kidding who?
