I am asking the forgiveness of God wherever I am taken by egoistic manner in 
this thoughts of mine. As the saying goes like; Take a baby step walking between 
lovers line due to it’s sensitivity, yet, it doesn’t reject one’s journey to 
saying what he/she think is right between lovers in an effort to bring peace. 
Talking about “PEACE”, can silence bring peace? Yes it can; but for short terms. 
On the other hand, speaking out one’s opinion of the matter when it fits puzzles 
of the matter can create more everlasting peace than silence. However, it is not 
everyone who is meant to speak out and that does not make them bad or 
uninterested as people are different. Ones who are able to do it are made by The 
Higher self God to perform that duty on this earth in-other to help others. 
However some people are so proud instead of thanking God for that wisdom of 
giving them that power to be able to speak out, they start boasting on it and 
blaming other for not participating. Then again God said if you are giving 
charity with your right hand, your left hand should not see it period. 

Politics and hypocrisy has too much influence on religion. Religion leaders 
should be honest and “God fearing” in the sense of speaking the truth and desist 
from creating hatred between people as stated on the Books of God. In practical; 
everyone cannot be a carrier politicians, teachers or doctors period. Who will 
then be cleaners and patients? A doctor is equally important as a cleaner 
because without the cleaner the work of the doctor will be interrupted or 
delayed, as much without supporters, politicians cannot be political. So you see 
we are all having different missions to cater for in this life yet we are all 
unique in our rightfully different responsibilities because it integrates our 
unify efforts to be one (LOVE)
As I was watching at the video from Raaki, thanks to Gassama, I came across the 
fact that religion leader in the Gambia now adays, can do whatever to gain 
worldly recognition than Godly one. Mr. Touray who supposed to be the pillar for 
peace truth and justice as God said was pondering on division between people by 
repeating that he will not sit to watch Bakawsu insulting the president’s tribe 
without action yet both the secretary general and the secretary for interior are 
saying that one should not instigate conflict within the society or between 
people?? If God was with them, even if it was true that Bakawsu told or say 
this, shouldn’t he consult Bakawsu in person or even visit him to discuss the 
issue than saying it on TV? On that video, one can see very clearly, the 
influence facing our religions. I think these are warning from the Higher-up for 
if HE/SHE is the one guiding the religion, HE/SHE should guide the leaders to 
follow the words on the Books. If however, that does not happen then everything 
is based on choices (free choice). In other words, read the Book and decide and 
implement your own understandings to suit your own ways of life.  If what is in 
heaven has its exemplary on earth? UN-supporting/un-protecting of one’s workers, 
how can he/she expect the work to be done satisfactorily? This is a simple logic 
preached by religious icons.
  If we heed by the saying in most of the religious teachings as such, all that 
is in heaven has it’s sample on this earth, we will surely look around us for 
the answer to every difficult situation that might hamper our believes. 
For-example; lets say religion is guided by God and God is the creator of 
everything in this world even so called “immoral activities” hence we cannot 
believe one part of creation and disbelieve the other must more if it was 
portrayed in the books that everything in heaven has it example on earth and 
everything on earth is powered by God. Religion is an organisation made by 
people with the help of God such therefore, is other organization that goes with 
evolutions to satisfy and improve the needs and the lives of the members. Now in 
must of the worldly organization systems changes from one point to the other in 
accordance to the taste or nature of the environment as yesterday has gone and 
we are in today thus it is nice and educative to visit yesterday but will not be 
beneficial to stay there (stagnant).  
It was people who make religion to be a religion through their unified views on 
what is right to bringing peace justice and unity between people of the various 
sect of the world. God however, knows every culture has its own tradition (ways 
to doing things from generations back) different from the other likewise every 
single organization has to the other. Therefore if everything in heaven has its 
example on earth and hence human-being does not and will never stay the same but 
evolves from one stage to the other in fulfilling his/her missions on earth as 
the mission in every stage of our evolution is different from the other; Now, 
why can’t there be changes in religious views to consideration of the above 
facts. Let us recalled our memories to where Muses went to receive the Ten 
Commandments from God to creating impatience in the minds of the Israelis to 
creating a God of their own this time will be reciprocated. Instead of cursing 
the people He will bless us for standing for what is right. Edi
