Kabir,
Thank you very much,for the wonderful mail you have sent to me.I will never
castigate you for the hard facts mentioned in your mail.I enjoy getting
constructive
debates to educate myself in life.You are right when you said that,
 "God can forgive man all sins committed on earth except those sins committed
  against your fellow humanbeing".
  You also mentioned,
    "In my search for truth I am at that stage where I have come to believe that
     fighting for justice and alleviating the suffering on the poor on earth is
even
     more endeering to God than for example,performing The Hajj!"
 Kabir,I commend you for all the hard facts and the correct comparisons you have
 mentioned in your mail.I always repeat that I join this side of the struggle
based
on the TRUTH and NOTHING else,and I will continue to be a member until Yaya and
his cohorts are kicked out.What I cannot understand is,DO WE HAVE TO CALL
EVERYBODY WORKING FOR YAYA JAMMEH AN ENEMY?
DO WE HAVE SOMETHING TO OFFER THEM TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES,WHEN THEY LEAVE THEIR
JOBS?I think,I am a bit careful
not to go on that line,as some of my comrades has already got their decisions.
We are really facing SHAYTAN in The Gambia,and we must be very careful
 and smart to deal with the situation.I really understand our angry people and
would
never misjudge them,for their positions against this barbaric regime.I don`t
think
there is any interests in making personal attacks or insults towards
anybody,rather
than hitting the major issues.This is why I believe we should invite our leaders
to
join the L,for a constructive debate with respect,to be able to annalyze the
situation.
I believe the words of the Prophet (PBUH),who said that
    "The strong man is not the good wrestler;the strong man is
      only he who controls himself when he is angry".
In the cases of our religious leaders who are being used for propaganda by Yaya
Jammeh,they will surely get their reward from God.They are all  after worldly
goods
which made them forget about God.The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"The son of Adam becomes desrepit,but two things remain young:
  avidity for wealth and avidity for life".
They should remeber that they will never get enough of the worldly goods Yaya
gives them,and they will leave everything here and face the Almighty for the
truth.
Kabir,I thank you once again for the mail and will surely do my utmost to read
Gandi on the Hindu Gita,to get more understanding of what you meant.I would
respectfully apologize to anybody who felt offended by mail,and would also remain
to be an opposition to this barbaric regime until they are kicked out
peacefully.I am praying for our unity and understanding to remove this current
dictatorship in our country.I would also like to hear your proposals about the
situation,to make our debate more interesting.
Kind regards
Elhajj.
