Robert Mugabe to ask President Barack Obama's hand in marriage

By -

— Unimpressed by the United States' Supreme Court's favourable decision towards same sex marriage, Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe expressed his opinion on the matter, saying that he will ask for President Barack Obama's hand in marriage

.

During his weekly interview on national radio, Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe on Saturday expressed his displeasure at the recent ruling by the United States’ Supreme Court ruling which legalises same sex marriage in the country, according to Newsweek.
The spirited 90 year-old leader, one of the world’s most vocal nemeses of gay rights, seemed to suggest that President Barack Obama is gay by allowing this to happen under his watch.
“I’ve just concluded – since President Obama endorses the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people and enjoys an attractive countenance – thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, DC, get down on my knee and ask his hand.”
His comments came just hours after the US Supreme Court legalised gay marriage across all the country’s states, prompting a multitude of same-sex couples to get married. The momentous decision saw the Empire State Building and the White House lit up in the rainbow lights representing the LGBT community.

It’s hard to imagine that Mugabe’s words are isolated on the continent. After all, most of Africa has a pretty hostile attitude towards homosexuality – over 30 states mete out a prison term for homosexuality-related ‘crimes’ and some countries even impose the death penalty. Only South Africa has fully liberal gay rights’ laws and recognises same sex marriage.

Meanwhile, Obama hasn’t responded to Mugabe’s proposal idea. Perhaps we’d be expecting too much if we’d be waiting for one. But it’s safe to say that the Zimbabwean president would sooner marry a man than permit the legalisation of same sex marriage in his country.

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
