A.Karim,
 
I was wondering when to term news 'fresh' or 'stale' news. Or when is information called news?
 
As Sister Jabou noted that believers in God's oneness should avoid getting trapped in it-"association with God”- (Allah Fulang-kafoo in Mandinka), but if it exist, then how come they won't be exposed. Fetishes surrounded by fetishes, assisted by societal jalangs (false gods), devils and demons, stationed in the villages’ nearest thick bushes. It is either a tall tree with a hive of bees, dig café with a killer-serpent or some pool with some friendly crocodiles. There are the clever ones among the society, who over time, studied the habitat, get acquainted with things to make their communications easy with the gods.
 
Sometimes, I think that we disagree too much with reported news, yet no investigation to counter it. We are married to certain names in agreeing or disagreeing. 
 
Human sacrifice is typical of idolaters. Nothing is new with human sacrifice, the same way that the Meccans' nasty culture before the coming of Islam was burying their daughters alive. What a shameful and wicked culture!
 
Sacrificing Jaliba Kuyateh-among the darkest of people with all the fame attributed with him. I am like ‘waw’, that’s a big bull (fans, excuse my French). How about a dark bull as typical of some known cultures? 
 
In conclusion, I won’t rule out one bit that those trapped in these jalang-worship mentalities can be instructed by the human-turned-soothsayers (communicators to the false gods) to sacrifice humans, animals et cetera in a bid for every fortune; power, wealth, knowledge et cetera. 
 
Concurrently or by coincidence, here is DO’s editorial. It is a nice read, but ironical that we witnessed the Freedom newspaper’s hacking not long ago and there wasn’t any such headline “cyber terrorists.” This headline would have been a hot one then. It was the same Dr. Sajar Taal who confided and cooperated with the ‘hackers’ then to publish innocent names on the Daily Observer leading to the arrest of many Gambians including the missing Chief E. Manneh. I thought you will like this one Karim. It is a misnomer.

Thanks & happy fasting,
Yero. 
 
Disclaimer: I didn’t do any investigation on the Jaliba issue, so the above is only an opinion. > Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 20:30:19 +0100> From: [log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: jaliba followers cry- ABDU> To: [log in to unmask]> > Jabou> Soory it is not out of content now I have seen your well noted point. The madness in our society is sometimes beyond my comprehension and happy with your view points. Will sent you a private mail on that matters. It is nearly coming up to decade, we have agree and disagree about the state of our nation but when will be actual freedom? Every day news is madness and sensationalism comes within like the topical issue in focus.> > [log in to unmask] wrote:> Brother Abdu,> > My comment was with regard to Suntou's satirical suggestion the Jaliba should write a song about the issue. I think that this satirical response is exactly what this ridiculous exercise and story deserve. It is not an expression of support for people going to marabouts from me.> I am a devout muslim Abdou and the Prophet (SAS) has told us in numerous hadiths that these heretic activities of going to so-called marabouts and believing and engaging in these heretic activities is against the tenets of Islam. Allah (SWT) says that if you believe in these things, then it means you do not believe in him and instead believe in these supernatural powers.> > This is why as far as I am concerned, Yaya Jammeh is not only heaping tyranny on our people, but he is also giving Islam a bad name with his heretic activities played out before the World on a daily basis. Does he not engage in his sacrificial jalang dances and yet he wields a Qur'an and prayer beads and our Muslim religious leaders never say a word about this contradiction and instead take out Ads in newspapers congratulating him on his birthday.> It's a case of the blind leading the blind.> > Jabou Joh> > > > > > > > -----Original Message-----> From: ABDOUKARIM SANNEH > To: [log in to unmask]> Sent: Sat, 6 Oct 2007 12:49 pm> Subject: Re: jaliba followers cry-LEKBI> > > > > > > > > > > Jabou> I don't believe in the marabout culture taking all the place of Gambian life. > The problem is if the dictator use the marabout to kill decent citizens is he > going to stay for long or the process going to be part of the continuum?
