Daffeh, *Fanatic: is a person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause*. As for you, your only motivation is hatred for the person of Halifa... When it comes to him everyone here can attest that you falsely refuse to be objective because of your years of hatred for a fellow human being fighting the same fight... Even when he made a good and honest gesture towards your party, you have always found a way to throw hate at him... Many of us are critical of Halifa and other leaders but many as well refused to be blinded by one side... So I hope you will take Baba's advice and start to open your eyes towards other fellow human beings regardless of how much you disagree with them.... There is the wise, the fool and the fanatic.(George Sarr).. we all belong to one group or another.... let's view ourselves in how we interact with others... Count how many people you have bumped heads with even in your own camp.... Education is supposed to make sure better and smarter human beings Daffeh.... No offense intended really...
