Trouble in Paradise - Kenya

Jan 2004
The bombing of the Paradise hotel in Kenya was meant to target Westerners. But it is Kenya's Muslim population who is suffering.

Mombassa's beautiful beaches stretch as far as the eye can see. But the beaches are all deserted. The Kenyan tourist industry has become a casualty of the War on Terror. In the aftermath of the Paradise bombing, America and England imposed a travel ban to Kenya. Thousands of tourism workers lost their jobs. Kenyan authorities, desperate to prove they were fighting terrorism, started harassing Muslims and arresting hundreds of poor civilians. "We're called terrorists so that we can be targeted," complains one Muslim speaker. Now many Kenyans fear that supporting the war on terrorism is approving a war targeted at Muslims.

I was born in Kenya, and love it and Mombasa. US & UK invade Iraq and Kenya suffers as a result, Kenyan muslims can stop this going round and round by stopping the terrorists and reporting them to the police immediately.

Any idiot defending Al-qaeda as Islam and Muslim need to be put out of their misery. fucking idiots.

No one wants to talk about the real terrorists its the UK and USA. Both of these countries continue to rape all of Kenya's wealth and resources, and the only thing Kenyans have to fall back on is tourism and Kenyans don't even own that. Africans have suffered under white terrorism for the past 500 years however nobody cares about that type of terrorism only because the victims happen to be black.
