Send in the drones armed with those humanitarian bombs, blessed by the Archbishop of Vichy, send in the NGOs, send in the missionaries, send in the clowns! Gambia, a small country hugely endowed with glorious beaches and European sex tourism is full of homophobic thought criminals.
Monday's Daily Observer explains:
'We have said it before and we will say it again. This is a Muslim and Christian country. Both the Holy Quran and the Holy Bible condemn homosexuality just as the scriptures condemn theft, adultery, lying etc. And we do not pass laws to make theft, adultery, lying and other evil deeds acceptable. But we tolerate them. This is because tolerance is a virtue and without tolerance we would have much conflict in society. But we do not want anyone to abuse that tolerance either.
Unfortunately, homosexuals do, by demanding non-homosxuals should accept their lifestyle. Well the lifestyle in The Gambia is one based around Family and Religion. Like God's Adam and Eve, the Family is based around Mother (female), Father (male) and the rest of the extended family. Former British premier Tony Blair's definition of 'marriage' and 'family' as being whatever conjecture (even man and goat!) does not apply in our religious context.
Look, we are not interested in stoning anyone, even homosexuals. What our President is saying, and we agree with him totally as usual in this: Ours is a society guided by religious principles.
These religious principles leaves no room for homosexuality. Sex and marriage in our culture is between man and woman. Sex and marriage between a man and a man, a woman and a woman, is viewed as irreligious and gross by the vast majority of our people here......
So, please respect our religions, cultures and traditions by keeping your homosexuality out of our country. And also respect our values as a sovereign country. Gone are the days of colonialism.'
