Hat tip Vlad Tepes
The speaker in the below video is Scott DeLisi, the US ambassador to Uganda. (I wonder who he pissed off.) Since Ramadan is starting in a few days, it apparently behooves all American officials from President Obama on down to send a message to Muslims of good will. In this case, Muslims comprise 12% of the Ugandan population. Nevertheless........
You talk about submission. Does he know what's going on in Africa these days?

Doesn't sound like he said anything untrue. Should we make a point of trashing Ramadan, just to show one billion Muslims how mad we are at Boko Haram? Or should we try to make friends where we can?
Hey, how about suggesting that Muslims call upon Boko Haram, ISIS, the Taliban, the Haqqani Network, to observe a cease fire for the entire month of Ramadan? It would be the holy thing to do, no? And when they break it, which they would (beat you to it Miggie), then they are blasphemers in the eyes of all other Muslims.
Probably won't happen. But what's your problem with this speech? In Uganda, the most immediate terrorist threat, kidnapping girls AND boys, is the Lord's Resistance Army. Should we denigrate Easter because the leader of LRA speaks in the name of Jesus Christ?
Jew hatred on parade here. At least you didn't say that the matzah used to celebrate Passover is made from the blood of Gentile children.
Do yourself a favor and remain anonymous.
Anonymous's first two sentences make a valid point. There is no reason the American ambassador to Uganda should not offer the same good will to 12 percent of the country he is ambassador to, that American politicians offer to 2 percent of our own population.
There is, of course, nothing wrong with the latter either. I would like to add that if an enslaved population can be freed by the death of the first born son of every slave owner, I'm all for it, and I generally support colonial wars of liberation against imperial terrorist domination.
Oh, I almost forgot.Hanukkah celebrated victory over the Seleucid monarchy, a fragment of Alexander the Great's empire. There was no such victory over Rome.
Thanks for correcting me Siarlys.
I confused the Maccabean Revolt with the First Jewish–Roman War.
Adding to even more confusion, many Roman soldiers in Palestine during the 1st Century AD were ethnic Greeks.
The point is that all Jewish Holidays are based on conflicts started by Jews against others. Examples:
Passover = Jews vs. Egyptians
Hanukkah = Jews vs. Greeks
Purim = Jews vs. Persians
Disgusting.
