Brother Kabir,

I'm really glad that you're ok. I hope the storm has finally passed. I can
understand your frustration with Mr. Mullah wannabe, but I won't sweat it.
Remember the fellow who was acting like our resident Oustace here a while
back? All the time he was here, he kept bombarding us with all types of
religious postings: Allah said this; the prophet said that,... This, while
keeping away from commenting on any of the degenerate things going on back
home. But, unbeknown to the distro, he was sending private messages to the
Devil's advocates like Essa Sey giving them moral support! To his chagrin,
Essa did what comes natural to people in his gene pool: he betrayed the
Mullah. I can't say I was really taken aback, because from my little
experience, these "look how pious I am" types are ALL the SAME. Hypocrisy
runs in their veins! They foolishly belief that a grey beard, thousand-beads
chaplet, and white Kalla/Waramba combo translates into piety. Not a chance.

Just fancy this whole Shariah thing going on down there. The so-called pious
people -Iman A, Alhaji X, Aji Y, Prez of Islamic ZZ, Sec Gen of Islamic ABC,
etc are rallying around Yaya Jammeh for his Shariah call, when if truth be
told, most of them and Yaya Jammeh in particular, would be in serious
trouble if any such law is enforced impartially. Many of them never say a
word about any of the civic rights abuse going on, but continue to tell us
who's in Allah's favor and who's not. I don't know how anyone could be
pious, and yet have a problem defending the truth. And they wonder why so
many people are put off by religion bandying. Some of us feel very
comfortable among the ranks of the ungodly.
Thanks for dropping us a note. Take care.

Saul.
