Joe:
You now have ample evidence to confirm the alleged statement on homosexuality by Dr Jammeh.
Homosexuality is not a problem that requires legislation in a modern state, and any laws targeting homosexuals would represent an abuse of public power. As a private matter between the individual and God, and considering that The Gambia is by no stretch an Islamic state, religion should not be permitted to intrude on the public space.

President plans to kill off every single homosexual Gambian President Yahya
Jammeh says he will “cut off the head” of any homosexual caught in his
country.
Monday 19 May 2008
Addressing supporters at the end of his meet the farmers tour here Sunday,
Jammeh also ordered any hotel or motel housing homosexuals to close down,
adding that owners of such facilities would also be in trouble.
He said the Gambia was a country of believers, indicating that no sinful and
immoral act as homosexual would be tolerated in the country.
He warned all homosexuals in the country to leave, noting that a legislation
“stricter than those in Iran ” concerning the vice would be introduced
soon.
President Jammeh said he was bent on making the Gambia one of the best
countries to live in, adding that his government had spent over US$ 100 million
towards the development of the country since 1994.
He said, however, that almost 98 per cent of the amount had gone to foreigners.

All, above is an article a friend alerted me to, which I culled from a website
called en.afrik.com. This is my first time hearing or accessing the site and I
do not know the author of the article. May be someone can vouch for the
integrity of the author or indeed our Village Idiot did send out that Fatwa.
This may be one of the side effects of associating with Elvis of Iran. If this
is true, then we can choose continue to suffer peacefully. He started with the
politicians, then the soldiers, then journalists, the students, and now the
next in line are Homosexuals/Lesbians. All yours.
