Bro LJD,

 

As if wonders will never stop on earth...I used to defend their position, using the case for Karamo Touray (Brikama), Baba Leigh (Bundung) and Hydara (Yundum Airport) as a way of justifying terror meted out to the Imams. I long since withdrew my general stance, immediately after they decorated Jammeh with a sheikh title. To me, a sheikh title must be earned -meaning a versed islamic scholar on its practical work. While I still sympathise with victims everywhere, I am careful, especially after they watched innocent Gambians being forced to drink "kubeyjarra" among other things without preaching against the malpractice. I think the later broke my heart seriously, and left me stranded in-between walls of doubt about their sincerity and true faith. I am careful not to judge any aforetime.

 

On a positive note, if they should recite the Quran, things are likely to turn in the favor of the oppressed, because God doesn't support hypocrisy and He likes what is truly just. I suspect that these recitations are a way of getting rid of Jammeh. I hope he is not reading my mail, because he will go ahead and arrest them like he did recently in some areas (Mansakonko.)

 

Regards to you sister Jabou, & I am glad to see your posting.

Jabou   I know you are not amazed at all!   Our friend Buharry may argue we ought to consider the Imam Ratib of Banjul as an average Gambian who is not fully aware of what he is doing. I admire Buharry but I have no intention of following his lead in this regard.    Where are you Buharry?             LJDarbo .     --- On Sat, 18/7/09, Jabou Joh <[log in to unmask]" rel=nofollow target=_blank>[log in to unmask]> wrote: From: Jabou Joh <[log in to unmask]" rel=nofollow target=_blank>[log in to unmask]> Subject: Fwd: Q’uranic Recitation For The Revolution To: [log in to unmask]" rel=nofollow target=_blank>[log in to unmask] Date: Saturday, 18 July, 2009, 7:50 PM Read and be amazed. It appears that the so-called religious leaders in the Gambia fear Yaya jammeh more than they fear Allah (SWT) Helas! By The Gambia Journal Jul 18, 2009, 12:37 Banjul, The Gambia Journal 16th July According to a press release issued by the office of the Imam Ratib of Banjul has announced that after consultations with the committee of Banjul Muslim Elders, there will be a Q’uranic recitation ceremony at the Independence Drive Mosque in Banjul on Sunday July 19th convene d as part of activities marking the 15th anniversary of the July 22nd so called revolution. The move, the first of its kid in the country is seen by many as another sign of the Gambian Islamic clergy’s submission to President Jammeh’s despotic rule and steady erosion of the secularity of the Gambian state. Last month members of the Gambia Supreme Islamic Council bestowed on the erratic Gambian leader the Muslim title of “Sheikh.� State House Imam was donated with a brand new four-wheel vehicle for initiating the entitlement. The objective of the worship, according to the release, is also to invoke Allah’s blessings for the president of The Republic of The Gambia, “His Excellency, and Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr Yahya Jammeh� and the nation at large, and to ensure a successful outcome of the event.
