It
is encouraging to see an African nation
standing up against the abusive, coercive,
colonial attacks of the western world.
The West is imposing its corrupt lifestyle
upon the Third World. Here is a nation
that knows what is right and what is wrong,
and will fight to protect its values.
The world needs more such nations.
Ugandan Ethics Minister to Porn
Dealers: 'Your Days are Numbered'

KAMPALA,
September 14, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
- The Ugandan government has announced
a new legislative initiative to widen
the definition of pornography and to
eliminate its distribution from the
country.
Dr.
James Nsaba Buturo, the nation's Ethics
and Integrity Minister, says that the
new law will help to eliminate the "terrible
vice" of pornography, and help
to discourage other vices related to
it, such as homosexual behavior.
"Pornography
leads to homosexuality," said Buturo
in a recent press conference. "I'm
happy that, finally, a bill to eliminate
pornography in Uganda will be ready
to punish the promoters of this vice."
Those
convicted of distributing pornographic
materials will be subject to fines,
loss of their business, and anywhere
from five to ten years in prison.
“Those
who deal in pornographic materials,
your days are numbered,” Buturo
said during the press conference. He
also stated that "we have finally
acted and this time, this law will work
because our integrity is not for sale."
According
to the Ugandan Monitor, the new bill
will define pornography
as "any form of communication from
literature to fashion or photography
that depicts unclothed or under-clothed
parts of the human body (such as breasts,
thighs, buttocks or genitalia), that
narrates or depicts sexual intercourse
or that describes or exhibits anything
that can lead to erotic stimulation."
Exceptions will be given in certain
cases, such as sports or the private
lives of spouses.
Buturo
said that the legislation had been provoked
by "an increase in pornographic
materials in the Ugandan mass media
and nude dancing in entertainment world,"
and said that the legislation had already
reached the level of discussion in the
general cabinet.

to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain." (Phil 1:21)
