Condolences my foot. This is the same president who allows Imam Fatty to use the State House mosque to preach Islamic fundamentalist rhetoric. This is not consistent with the regret and sorrow he is trying to express by declaring this mourning period. On one hand, he encourages Islamic fundamentalism, which preaches anti-Israel and thus anti-American rhetoric, yet he also wants to improve bilateral ties with the US. But, as the old saying goes, you cannot have your cake and it. Though I seriously doubt whether he has the wherewithal to do the job, Jammeh needs to clean up his own backyard by also wiping out the scourge of fundamentalism from our country before they declare Jihad on our dear country too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
