Mr Jobe is at it again trying to suggest that Yahya's
actions were dictated from God-what a load of rubbish.
Having tried all means to convince us, he decides to
rely on verses from the Holy Bible to talk about
Yahya/NAWEC's latest generators. I find it blasphemous
for Jobe to equate the words of Genisis 1.1 to that of
Yahya's politics of bribery.

Well Mr Kebba Jobe having heard you cite from the
Bible, don't you think its my turn as a Christian to
refer to you the Holy Quran ; How about the following
verses of the Quran:

(1)Do not kill a soul which Allah has made sacred
through the due process of law" Sura 6:151

In the light of the Students Massacre of April 200O,
don't you think its hypocritical for you to support a
person who kills in the name of "national" security
and then claiming to be a Muslim?

(2)" Whoever kills as human being without(any reason
like)manslaughter or corruption on earth, it is as
though he has killed all mankind...."Sura 5:32

We have just heard Ebou Colly's revelation on the
November 11 of 1994. How on earth, could you openly
support a leader like Yahya Jammeh?

(3) "For you the life of the Prophet is a model of
behaviour" Sura 33:21

Mr Jobe lets face it, Yahya's behaviour towards the
Gambian people is un-Islamic. He acts with brutality,
he has used the GRTS to trade insults on peace loving
of the Gambia. Although, I appear not to be a Muslim,
but my slight knowledge on Islam, tells me that
Prophet Muhammed(pubh) was peace loving and
compassionate.
Mr Jobe the onus now lies on you to tell us whether
Yahya is genuine muslim based on the human rights
abuses taken place in the Gambia.

I therefore await your response.


Have a wonderful day

Sanusi
