| Muslims hail Amin |
| 2004-06-03 |
| Muslim leaders have praised late former president Idi Amin for the contribution he made to the establishment of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC). While celebrating 32 years of the inception of the UMSC at Old Kampala on Tuesday, they praised Amin for forging unity among Muslims. The UMSC was established in 1972 and has had eight leaders since. The celebrations, which started with the inspection of the construction of the national mosque, were presided over by Mufti Sheikh Shaban Mubajje. Mubajje also hailed President Yoweri Museveni for enabling UMSC to acquire the land title of the national mosque and President Gaddafi for financially supporting its construction. |

| #5 Thanx, DS, I had the comarison made to me by someone Jewish, so I hereby stand corrected. River Styx? Just place a coin in the hand of Charon, the ferryman, when you reach the river. When you reach the other side, you will see a hut in the distance. In front of the hut is a large barbecue pit. The daemon, known in life as Idi Amin will roast you and consume you if you draw close. It is important that you do avoid the hut. |

| #4 but some of us less than completely observant Jews will eat halal in preference to pure treff :) |

| #3 oh, quick correction bigEd. Muslim Halal is not the equal to Jewish Kosher. Jewish Kashrut laws have many more requirements and quality controls built in. That's why a muslim can eat Kosher food with no problems, but a Jew who is observing Kashrut would not eat Halal. |

| #2 Do we need any further reasons to distance ourselves from these "leaders" and their followers. Like the distance of the river styx? |

| #1 Muslim leaders have praised late former president Idi Amin . . . But I thought human meat was not Halal. . . Those who consume have qualifications for the 72 in question. Why did Idi know it was saltier than beef? (Muslim Halal=Jewish Kosher) |
