Dear Mr. Bojang,

My intentioin was to tell you of what I know about the two scholars in
question. I kinow both of them personally. As for Ustaz Banbing, I knew him
as a pioneering Muslim missionary in  the 70s. He is a recognised Muslim
missionary base on his academic credentials and experience. This is why he
was ever since appointed as a missionary for an Internationally recodnised
Islamic Organisation. He is a graduate of the most prestigoius Islamic
university in the world (Al-Azhar of Egypt). He is a  trained Muslim
missioinary.

For your information specialisation in Arabic language in that university
does no disqualify one to be a an Imam or Islamic scholar. That university
adopts an integreted approach to Dawah training. As for his actions that do
conform with the teaachings of Islam, I do not know of any per se. Could you
please be more specific? What are his actions that contradict the teachings
of Islam? I'am looking forward to hearing from you. On Imam Fatty,he is a
humble pious and exemplary imam.

With thanks and best regards.

Sulaaiman Sankareh
