 Read and be amazed.
It appears that the so-called religious leaders in the Gambia fear Yaya jammeh more than they fear Allah (SWT)
Helas!

Banjul,
The Gambia Journal 16th July













According to a press
release issued by the office of the Imam Ratib of Banjul has announced that
after consultations with the committee of Banjul Muslim Elders, there will be a
Q’uranic recitation ceremony at the Independence Drive Mosque in Banjul on
Sunday July 19th convened as part of activities marking the 15th
anniversary of the July 22nd so called revolution. The move, the
first of its kid in the country is seen by many as another sign of the Gambian
Islamic clergy’s submission to President Jammeh’s despotic rule and steady
erosion of the secularity of the Gambian state. Last month members of the
Gambia Supreme Islamic Council bestowed on the erratic Gambian leader the
Muslim title of “Sheikh.” State House Imam was donated with a brand new
four-wheel vehicle for initiating the entitlement.



The objective of the
worship, according to the release, is also to invoke Allah’s blessings for the
president of The Republic of The Gambia, “His Excellency, and Sheikh Professor
Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh” and the nation at large, and to ensure a successful
outcome of the event.
