News:

Recently, the BBC reported the revocation of the harsh same sex law by the Ugandan Constitutional Court. The law that once prompted western countries to deny Uganda some aids. The discussion of that law, spread not only throughout Uganda and Africa but, throughout the whole world. Consequently, the western countries were compelled to intervene.

The court, had earlier on ruled that before that motion was officially formulated into a law, it was passed by a small quorum of the Ugandan members of parliament.  Something that denies the motion legal right to be a law. Therefore, according to the rulings of the court, that law is null and void..

Comment:

To anyone who is fully conversant with the essence of democracy, is well aware that this system is the source of gayism and what are known as same sex marriages. Gayism, apart from being gravely condemned by religious ethical values, Ugandan citizens, tantamount to the citizens of other African countries do not agree with.

Being fully cognizant of that, the Ugandan government had to skillfully manoeuvre how to tackle the irreconcilable refutable hot issue. Initially, the Ugandan government duped its own citizens' minds by brazenly aping that they were adamantly against the same sex marriages initiatives. Therefore, it orchestrated and hatched a sly attempt through the motion that falsely aimed to legislate harsh punishment against those who involve themselves in gayism, in an endeavor to catapult the government into garnering many votes in various elections.

Especially, putting into consideration that the current Ugandan government gained authority through the guns barrel after the military coup. So this crafty move of opposing same sex marriages was aimed at regaining and restoring the oblivious citizens' confidence back into their western puppet government.

After the verdict of the constitutional court, already the Ugandan government had a pretext to cleanse itself by hypocritically claiming that it exerted its level best efforts to combat the vice, nevertheless in vain, this happened as a result of the legal apparatus that oversees law; and justice over turned the law! On the other hand, this issue exposes the fragility that African countries suffer when subjected to the irreverent demands of the so-called developed countries. Although, the leaders of these statelets, tend to stoically try to convince their subjects that they are strong and firm. This incident does not differ whatsoever from the one that occurred in Malawi a few years back. When the government of that country feigned to stand its ground against these vices even took step further to imprison those who dared to claim to have same sex marriage. However, owing to overwhelming political duress from the west and international organizations, the government of Malawi had to succumb to their demands and freed them.

This is as a result that our young developing countries are not ideological states. But are aping the western democratic system that has its own unique criterion and objectives. The leaders of these countries in their quest to appease the public opinion of their countries pretend to contradict some basic democratic values, in order to maintain some African traditions and values. Since they are not the real masters of the ideology, they are not allowed to carry the ideology partially. This being the real objective of any ideology carrier.

The kingpins of democracy, will never allow young developing countries to pick and choose what to implement of their system except when there is enormous interests. Nevertheless, under normal circumstances, the system is always implemented radically and comprehensively. This is a challenge to all Muslims to tirelessly toil in order to raise Islam to the state level, viz Khilafah "Caliphate". ln order to salvage many developing countries that are subjugated by the leaders of democracy to the extent of unwillingly legalise heinous acts and vices that contradict religion, ethics, traditions and habits of their subjects.
