FANKATA being practiced in Iran does not refute Imam Fatty's claims that
the practice as un Islamic.  The past massive killings in Iran, does that
implied that its Islamic to kill, because it happens in Iran.
Again is the practice of FANKANTA in Iran and Gambia the same?  I am not
proofing you wrong, but I am reiterating the weakness of your premise in
using Iran to support your allegation of hypocritical Islamic practices in
Gambia.
May be the practice of FANKANTA in Iran compared to Gambia is different
Or the campaign strategies in both countries are different
Or the personnel in charge of FANKANTA in Iran are more competent in
implementing the program than our personnel
Again Iranians Acceptance of the FANKANTA may be necessary for the country
Also How many of the Iran Imams like Imam Fatty accepted the practice?.
BBC airing the program cannot be a convincing evidence that FANKANTA
accepted in Iran.  These programs go through a series of editions to suit
the taste of the listening audience.
May it's few that support the practice and it's that few who were shown on
TV/ radio

I think one has to put all these points in to consideration before one
could makes a conclusion.

You may be right but Iranians practice of FANKANTA does not make it
Islamic, just as Iranians war with Iraq cannot make a war Islamic.
