You want to put up a show? For? ME?’ You want to rap? Of course, I am an academic and - naturally an intellectual. As AbdalQadir once said, “By definition, a Muslim is an intellectual” If I am not then it doesn’t bother me. http://www.shaykhabdalqadir.com/content/index.html There are quite a few in my family, you know, I am not the only one. My better half , my daughters are too – both are distinguished - one is a gold Medallist First /First in Law University of London , another with a Masters is a well placed Civil Servant in the United Kingdom. Here's one: http://mccammon.ucsd.edu/~dhamelbe/resume-web.pdf But that’s not the only company I keep. When my son was thirteen, he was more advanced than I was at seventeen and when I was seventeen, I was at the top of what I liked – and that includes any school in Gambia. I’m just chatting man. I can rap too – even on my guitar. Look I’m not an interesting person to discuss with. You want to make a name for yourself, don’t engage me. I was only telling you (the examiner) that I intend to start with question 12 - and I was going to tell you about the Dhimmi status of Jews in Islamic lands, and the occasional massacres, pogroms, but on the whole the Arabs , and Muslims treated the Jewish people much better than the Christians have done in Europe, starting with Merry England , Spain,……….. My mother tells me that I spoke Krio English and Fullah (with my girlfriend BONGOR, a neighbour’s child.) when I was little. From the age of six, when I arrived in England, I lost Krio and English, although I do not remember any gradual disappearance. It was as if it was an instantaneous disappearance since there was no one that I could speak Fullah or Krio with. Let’s not talk about mother tongues. There are many. Interest in India can take you to Sanskrit, just as I expect you to be polishing off your Arabic, the language of the Koran… > > From: Momodou Buharry Gassama <[log in to unmask]> > Date: 2007/05/30 on PM 05:52:08 CEST > To: [log in to unmask] > Ämne: Re: Zionism > > Cornelius, > DOUBLETHINK!
