Nigeria promoting traditional marriage!

[Nobar King]

I don't know what kind of religion those Africans worship and right now I don't care. They're doing something right and should be praised for defending traditional marriage between a MAN and a WOMAN.

Polygamous lesbians flee Sharia

A Nigerian lesbian who "married" four women last weekend in Kano State has gone into hiding from the Islamic police, with her partners.

Under Sharia law, adopted in the state seven years ago, homosexuality and same-sex marriages are outlawed and considered very serious offences. The theatre where the elaborate wedding celebration was held on Sunday has been demolished by Kano city's authorities.

Lesbianism is also illegal under Nigeria's national penal code.
Nigeria's parliament is considering tightening its laws on homosexuality.

Stoning
Kano's Hisbah board, which uses volunteers to enforce Islamic law, told the BBC that the women's marriage was "unacceptable". The BBC's Bala Ibrahim in Kano says Aunty Maiduguri and her four "wives" are thought to have gone into hiding the day after they married.
All five women, who are believed to be film actresses in the local home-video industry, were born Muslims, otherwise they would not be covered by Sharia law.

Islam says a man can take up to four wives if he is able to support them.

"As defenders of the Sharia laws, we shall not allow this unhealthy development to take root in the state," the Hisbah's deputy commander Ustaz Abubakar Rabo told Nigeria's This Day newspaper. Mr Rabo told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that if the women were found guilty of lesbianism they faced one of two punishments.

For a married woman the offence would be considered adultery for which the punishment is death by stoning. A single woman would be caned.

Large turnout
Our correspondent says the theatre where the colourful wedding ceremony was held was flattened earlier this week. Several reasons were given for the demolition, including the discovery that it was built on wrongly allocated land. Eyewitnesses say there was a large turnout for the marriage and guests were given leaflets as a souvenir showing Aunty Maiduguri surrounded by her "brides". A Kano police spokesman told the BBC that his officers were not actively looking for the women, but would arrest them if need be.
The Hisbah group, which is run separately from the police, receives state government support.

Two years ago, a Sharia court sentenced a man to six months in prison and fined him $38 for living as a woman for seven years in Kano. Eleven other states in mostly Muslim northern Nigeria have adopted Sharia law.

The Bathfire dog, Hodiah, has been taught to open doors by pressing on the handle. Unfortunately, it seems to be beyond her capabilities to learn to close doors after her, which inconvenience, of course, does nothing to extend her possibilities of dieing a natural death.

I mention this as these poor benighted savages, with their limited brain power, have been taught about God by colonialist missionaries but don’t seem to have been able to have the second part of the message – Jesus Christ – fixed in their brains.

Nevertheless, it is clear to us all that “Aunty Maiduguri” has done the world a favour by
(i) declaring herself lezbean,
(ii) identifying 4 other lezbeans, who otherwise might have corrupted the local youth and brought curses on the people of the land, and
(iii) allowing the population to identify these abominations and carry out the Word of the Lord by stoning her and her acolytes.

It raises the question of whether it is possible to do a Godly Act, and thus be absolved from a one-way trip to the Pits of Boiling Sulfur, whilst not accepting Christ as your Savior.

This is not much of a question because it isn’t and, thus although the stoning of lezbeans is Godly, the savages doing the stoning are doing it for the wrong reasons and are thus doubly condemned and the realm of the father of lies will open its doors to more members more quickly.

God’s plan is thus the faster fulfilled. Praise!
