I SUPPORT FULLY THE SENTIMENTS BELOW FROM THE PRESIDENT AND THE DAILY NATION In our shock, bitterness, and outrange, many Kenyans, leaders included, have lost site of the context of this situation and the scale of the war on terrorism. Kenya is at war. Our enemies thrive on sawing panic and despondency in our hearts. We aid this enemy when we succumb to suspicion, fear, and finger-pointing and blame games. Terrorists’ efforts bear fruits a hundredfold when we see things their way: with countenance of fear, anger, and despair. We become their unwitting accomplices when we doubt; we come to their aid when we shout at each other. This is war against Kenya and Kenyans. It is not a war against the Jubilee government or its leaders. It is a war that every one of us must fight. Our bickering only emboldens our enemy. Ideas that profile and victimize communities and individuals serve the precise aim of our enemies. Media serving as a platform for the destructive and toxic interpretation is dangerous for our nationhood. Without a doubt, terrorists who claim to kill in the name of Allah are neither Muslims nor godly people, but deranged animals who have lost their sours and mind. Stay true to your religious tradition of tolerance and respect for all people. We depend on your support in our war against violent extremism and terror. A time has come for each and every one of us to decide and chose. Are you on the side of an open, free, democratic Kenya which respects the rule of law, sanctity of life and freedom of warship, or do you stand with the repressive, intolerant and murderous extremists? And the Daily Nation Agrees: A divided Kenya as we have today is weak and indecisive, capable of being beaten by even by the lowest of the ragtag groups. Al-Shabab has won this victory by tapping into the vein on the vampiric opportunism that runs through Kenyan politics, one that whispers that it is okay to exploit a moment of grave national danger to demand the resignation of a rival: To play politics with national security is not responsible conduct for a leader. As Patriotic Kenyans; lets us with common accord united fight Al-Shabab to final victory and progress our partisan agendas thereafter.
