>While the conscientious Gambian is, at least, lamenting over the despicable
>manner in which Cheyassin stormed out of the room after reading his
>despicable statement dismissing the Commission of Inquiry's Report on the
>Murder of our children, those shameless Oustass who were busy promoting the
>introduction of Sharia are at this very moment, busy scrambling for the
>crumbs thrown out at them by "Hurricane Yahya" in the form of tickets (one
>hundred and five of them) for this year's Hajj. Joining the scramble for
>air tickets are the unelected Mayors' and their unelected deputies,
>unelected councillors, self-appointed "Yayi Compins", APRC Members of the
>National Assembly, and our soccer hero Alhaji. Birri Njie (the unelected
>deputy Mayor of Banjul) of this world and others. The most disgusting
>scene of all is the so-called muslim elders and "Oustass" who would rather
>fight over tickets than show concern over the killers of our school
>children who have just been exonerated by Yahya Jammeh and Cheyassin Secka.
> To the despicable Imams/Oustass involved, a Hajj ticket from Yahya Jammeh
>is more important than the lives of our children murdered and maimed on the
>10 and 11 of April, 2000. Ebrima, today, I am ashamed of being a Gambian
>because of the morally incomprehensible behaviour of SOME (not ALL) of our
>so-called muslim elders and Islamic scholars. I am not all that well versed
>in the Qur'an but I am certain that this is not the set of priorities and
>behaviour that Allah calls for in The Holy Qur'an - scrambling for Hajj
>tickets instead of fighting for justice to see to it that the murderer is
>beheaded (under Sharia). The muslim scholars on the L, maybe you can help
>me on this one. Personally, I think it is both hypocritical and morally
>wrong for those calling for the introduction of Sharia in The Gambia to be
>seen fighting over Hajj tickets provided by Yahya Jammeh, whose security
>forces were implicated in the Commission's Report. In my humble judgement,
>they should be fighting for justice and not over Hajj tickets. The entire
>thing is DISGUSTING, TO SAY THE LEAST. In fact, Lawyer Eman Joof said this
>morning over BBC that he will be asking these very same so-called
>Imams/Oustass/Islamic scholars, who were busy promoting the introduction of
>Sharia, to pronounce on the actions of Yahya Jammeh and Cheyassin Secka
>concerning the murdered and maimed school children and their attempt to
>sweep their entire criminal misconduct under the rug. I bet you, they (the
>so-called muslim elders) will once again shirk their responsibilities and
>scramble for more than their fair share of Hajj tickets. If this were not
>the case, how come Hajj tickets are already being scalped by these same
>Oustass. I say HARRAM.
