Since Obama's father left when he was two years old it proves how smart he is that his father was able to influence his political outlook.

Kenya is Christan.

Actually, the coastal areas around Mombasa have a fairly high Muslim population resulting from trade with the Mideast over the centuries. Inland, there are a lot of tribal religions as well. However, it is majority Christian. Now whether or not that makes Kenya a Christian nation is a complex question.

There are quite a few Muslims in Kenya. Arab traders have been coming and going along the East African coast for centuries, bringing Islam with them. I think the principle tribe in Kenya are the Kikuyu and that they are Christian as a consequence of British colonization but Kenya is no more a Christian nation than we are.

About 10% of the population.

The view of Kilimanjaro is breathtaking from the Kenyan border, especially at sunrise. And the Vultures are huge!

Dave

can you see it from your front porch?

[BlueStreak]

No, but I saw it from the front porch of my rented bungalow in 1983. Spent a week there. If my scanner was working, I would post the pics.
