What about HarunaSilo Suntou?? Do I have to defend my own religion??? Why can't you bring yourself to understand that HarunaSilo has the entire world as members???? All Christians, Mormons, Muslims, Voodoos, etc are HarunaMos. Its about time you stand up for HarunaSilo and defend it against the infidels.
 
Haruna.

Subject: Re: The dimwit Sankanu needs help. He goes by the pseudo name Emman in some Gambian forums

Emman
Lets be adult about this. We are not new in the electronic means of communication. How can two people have the same email address? The email providers wouldn't remotely allow two names to have one email account. I might not be an expert in technology but I know for sure, the name one provide when registering must not be in use by another registered contact.
My beef is to confirm that, you're indeed Sankanu. If I have any hubby, it is researching Islam continuously. And should folks wish to attack the faith based on actions of others who are acting according to their wimps, why blame a whole 1.5billion community?
 
I know some are eager to portray me as unnecessarily unsympathetic of your so-called African agenda. My respondse to them is, read the content of the articles written by Sankanu, his attack on Women, defending the ludicrous position with reference to the Prophet Muhammad, Jesus and many other Prophets of God. If Sankanu has the right to attack, decent Muslims have the right to respond. Whoever thinks that is intolerance, then I say to you, Sankanu wrote those material wishing to stir confrontation.
 
The fallacy of promoting Africa in the thick of America and Europe is seriously lame man. We are all Africans. As a Muslim, I reject anybody generalising wrongful statement against Muslims. Some Muslims are bad, just like some Arabs, Whites, blacks.
If you think what Sankannu wrote both here and Maafanta two days ago is fine, then remember to be mute when someone attack Blacks racially.
Promote Africa, promote black culture, but do it by selling your product well.
I know some have twisted by comments to suit their perverted intentions, do i care, hell no. I am not surprised Mr enlighten tolerant Gambian was the first to attack me. Be my guest, however, anyone who independently looks at the writing of Sankanu regularly, there will be no doubt about his 'commercial atheism'.
Africa will welcome any diasporan wishing to go home and promote its beauty and heritage. Africa may also welcome some Muslims who wish to wear the gown of Idolatry. You can build your temple, decorate it with all the Arts work and call people to it.
Tolerance is not simplistic statement to bandy around whenever one wish to vilify another. I have not in any of my statements here attack Voodoo or African culture or tradition. All I said is, Sankanu should stop lying against Islam for his financial motives. He can very well promote Africa without resorting to attacking Islam and Christianity.
Yes, I recently advocate for the Senegambian so-called Saint to write books, make it available to wider readers, and stop making a religion about their families and progeny's. If anyone wish to argue that, you're more than welcome. But this subject is about a Muslims claiming to be promoting idol worship and Voodoo. By so doing, he attacks the faiths of his fellow Africans and country men. Hence, Sankanu/Emman require to know the views from Muslims.
I have read Sankanu very well. I never rush to misjudge anybody. I am firmly standing on this issue. This is not about African Arts or culture. It is about his remarks against Muslims and Islam. I am as African as he is. I can also safely assume, he doesn't know African culture better than me. The pathetic misrepresentation will never hamper me. The history of Arab aggression, European aggression is not what is holding Africa back today. We need to find ways to advance ourselves. I am not denying the crimes of some Arabs some decades or so ago, neither that of Europeans, but it is not all whites neither all Arabs that contributed to enslaving and pillaging Africa. And this current Arabs and Europeans hardly have anything to do with what their ancestors did.
Hence, many of us are Muslims or Christain by choice. If you are not satisfy with it, then you have a choice.
