A uganda main stream "independent" Monitor news paper, that is owned by the Agakhan has called for Vigilance against Gay People in it' Editorial section.
This is a very serious and dangerous thing!!!!!!

Uganda Monitor:

"We appeal to our religious and cultural leaders -- in addition to school matrons and teachers -- to enhance the fight against the immoral agenda espoused by gay activists who are in and outside Uganda. Their orientation must not be allowed to take root in our society as is the case in some countries. The custodians of our laws; the police and the courts of law should therefore be vigilant."

Nsaba Buturo the instigator!
Nsaba Buturo the instigator!


in Its Sunday Editorial section, the News paper has written;

Do not yield to gay demands

In our Friday issue, Ethics minister James Nsaba Buturo was reported to have complained that he was being threatened by homosexuals (See, Homos Want To Kill Me - Minister).

These brothers and sisters, who definitely have perverted minds, are constantly sending hate mail and death threats to Dr Buturo. Most of the emails emanated from gays and lesbians in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

They want the minister to drop his campaign against their sexual orientation! Or to put it better, to nip in the bud their reprehensible agenda of propagating their 'culture' among our school-going youths, and to demand 'recognition' in Uganda.

The head of sexual minorities, Uganda, Ms Juliet Victor Mukasa, is quoted to have said that Dr Buturo was a stumbling block in their quest for gay rights!
For heaven's sake, their sexual orientation is not in consonance with the law in Uganda. Period. And neither is it in tandem with various religions or numerous Ugandan societal norms; the moral code in more than 50 ethnic groups.

And here is another premise for the need to expunge their arguments and demands. The western world is wont to lecture to the second and third world(s) on the need to respect the rule of law. Well, the current legal regime in Uganda dictates that homosexuality is not acceptable. One therefore wonders why these men and women in the UK and the USA would want to break the law in Uganda.

Thirdly, it is arrogance of the highest degree for them to seek to swamp Uganda and the third world with their decadence. Granted, we have been swamped with pop culture, sports, education, technology, etc, but we as a country have a right to filter the chaff from the grain; we are not duty bound to accept whatever information or lifestyle that is dangled before us, just because we are a poor lot who still depend on bilateral and multi-lateral assistance to bridge deficits in our [national] recurrent and development budget(s).

We appeal to our religious and cultural leaders -- in addition to school matrons and teachers -- to enhance the fight against the immoral agenda espoused by gay activists who are in and outside Uganda. Their orientation must not be allowed to take root in our society as is the case in some countries. The custodians of our laws; the police and the courts of law should therefore be vigilant."
This is not the first time a news paper in Uganda has acted in such a dangerous way, this might turn into a Genocide of Gays and Lesbians!!!!

Homos Want to Kill Me

A government minister has said that gay people from around the world send him hate mail everyday because of his stand against homosexuality.

"I receive at least 20 abusive and threatening mails on my life daily," Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo told reporters yesterday. "As I speak now, I have seen about 11 mails on my email address waiting for me to read."

He said most of the e-mails are from the United States and the United Kingdom.

The message to him is that he must drop his campaign against gays and lesbians.

Asked to read out some of the emails, the minister declined saying, "The language those people use while writing messages to me is horrible. I can't read them out because it will be a shame for me."

He added: "With such words and language used, I have noticed that those people are sick. They need help."

Dr Buturo said gays have designed websites promoting their rights complete with his name and photograph appearing as one of the persecutors of gay people in the world.

He did not say whether some of the mails are from Ugandans.

Speaking from his ministry's offices in Kampala, Dr Buturo said the government is not fighting gays but it is against the practice of homosexuality because it is immoral.

Homosexuality in Uganda is illegal and punishable with a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The head of sexual minorities Uganda, Ms Juliet Victor Mukasa, said Dr Buturo is a stumbling block in their quest for gay rights.

She said, however, she was not aware of any threats against the minister.

"As far as Uganda is concerned, we are not behind and aware of any threats addressed to the minister," Ms Mukasa said. She added that the minister is against gays because he is ignorant of their ways.

"Despite fighting us, we shall not be intimidated. We will fight for our rights and we will win," Ms Mukasa said.

Dr Buturo said that although homosexuality is illegal, the "government will not criminalise homosexuals" but will put in place measures to counsel and help them understand that homosexuality is abnormal.

While still information minister last year, Dr Buturo threatened to order an investigation into allegations that gays in Ugandans had formed a church. He promised to arrest the church owners if the allegations were true.

He has also since clashed with Mr Kristian von Hornsleth, a Danish national who ran the Von Hornlesth's Art Project that traded pigs for peoples' names in Mukono.

He ensured the non-renewal of the certificate of an NGO in Mukono that was sponsored and funded by Von Hornsleth, a man he branded a homosexual.

The minister also threatened to arrest and prosecute Von Hornsleth if he dared set foot in Uganda again.

At the same press conference, the minister warned media organisations against promoting what he termed as witchcraft through advertising.

He said witchcraft promoters risked losing their licences.

He said witchdoctors are masquerading as traditional healers and advertising their services in the media, a practice that has cost many people dearly.

"Both the media and the broadcasting councils are expected to take appropriate action against those sections of the media that are involved in a conspiracy to subvert Uganda's moral standing," Dr Buturo said.
