> "100 Benefit From APRC Hajj Package"


And this is the leader of a country where families are hard put to have three
square meals a day, and he was just a penniless soldier when he came into
power.  It shows what these people are made of, and that their thinking does
not go beyond the tips of their noses.
However, it is the people who accept this blood money to go  on Hajj that are
truely the lost ones. Money that one spends to go on Hajj is supposed to be
earned in a clean manner, otherwise the Hajj is not accepted.
Why doesn't Yaya Jammeh stop stealing our meager resources and put this money
back where it belongs, in our national coffers to be used towards  getting
our country and people from the economic horror they have plunged the country
into?
A meaningless gift given in a meaningless and empty gesture, and accepted by
people who obviously do not understand the requirements of their religion
regarding the sources of money to be used to perform the pilgrimage. The
people who accept these shallow, meaningless public displays are the ones who
encourage the Yaya Jammehs of Africa and who therefore also share a part in
our deplorable political and economic condition. Even as their neignbours are
suffering and hungry, they take money from the thieves who have perpetrated
this condition to go beg forgiveness from Allah? It seems these people fear
Yaya Jammeh more than they fear Allah (SWT) Subhanallah!
