Fjc! Thats an honourable act! my advice has been heeded and u've apologised. And thanks for letting the rest of us know that my sources were accurate.As the wollof saying goes:"lu kenna munati rek nyaar'akoko dakha" I have seen Ebou K's apology (on the jammeh2001) relating to our past debates on this forum which was directed to some of us on behalf of a friend on the L.Thus i would sieze the opportunity to inform the person concerned that i have forgiven anyone who might have offended me for political reasons! I would also reiterate that i wish to apologise to anyone i might have offended ON THIS FORUM DURING THE PAST MONTHS! That is the reason why ALLAH asks us to resort to "istih faar"-meaning repentance when we do any wrong against HIM. ALLAH has also spelt out that;HE can directly forgive us the wrong we did to HIM but any wrong which was directed to other beings(our fellow humanbeings)it is only them who can forgive the offender.So as i said here before its honourable to apologise! ALLAH along these lines also said that,"he who apologises should be forgiven as the one who resists forgiving has challenged ME ALLAH!" so i appeal to all of us on line or elsewhere to bury the hatchets and be one. Politics is an art and it shouldn't be allowed to become a harmful art!
