Hellow brother,
I think you and Imam Fatty has missed the whole issue. HIV/AIDS is a
killer disease that does not distinguish between Muslim and none
muslim,or class.We have over 21 million perple in Africa subsahara who
are going to die of HIV/AIDS. Does the Iman mean that we should not
prevent the disease or should we just let people to stay ignorant of the
problem? The Imam is primitive and in my opinion one should
differienciate between science and religion. He should keep to his
religious preachings and the scientist do their job to save the human
race from this trebble disease. The Imam does not know anything about
medicine and cure. We who work idealy with HIV/AIDS patients know what
the people suffer. It can finish a whole village in the small Gambia
withn a dicade.IIf I meet the Imam, The question I would ask him is if
he has a knoledge of curing the pest (HIV/AIDS).Iven in the most
religious countries, prevention campanges are going on. HIV/AIDS is
every were in the world.Does the Imam mean that if he is sick to die, he
does not go to the docto? Brother I live in Sweden where all HIV/AIDS
infected patients recieve free medicine to at least slow the process. I
think the Imam should take a great part in the prevention campange in
the Gambian, rather than discouraging it. When it regards to Dr.Samba's
mother,(my aunt) he is lucky that I am not in the Gambia to reply him of
his rudeness. He cannot force anybody to accept any practice that is
scientifically proved that it is dangerous to the women. He should get
incontact with us who help some of these victims in Sweden. Islam
condems female circumcision. If it does not let him cote where it is in
the Quran. I dont wish to argue with him when it comes to Islam, but
when it comes to saving live I am more informed than he is. Tell the
Imam the truth, Instead of defending him.

I stand for what all Great Imam Fatty said. I might be the only one to
speak for Imam Fatty. But that does not mean that I am against woman
rights or I hate those who are against the Issue. Not at all, because I
don't think man can easily succeed on this earth without the woman on
one side or the other. Therefore the required freedom of the woman is a
very good thing to every man.
I am sure that you will agree with me that it's the responsibility of
any Muslim to do what you are suppose to do in your short period of
life time. I mean it's the responsibility of parents to make sure their
children know about Islam. It's the responsibility of even a friend to
inform his or her friend how ever little he knows about Islam.
Therefore It's the responsibility of Imam Fatty to share his Islamic
knowledge with every Gambian fellow Muslim as an Islamic leader.No
matter what the consequences might be. Because if any of the above
mentioned parties fail to do so, he will account for it in the
hereafter. So Imam Fatty has the full right to speak out on this issue.
Fellows! it's not easy to agree that taking pills and stuff like that
is an act of prostitution encouragement. But technically I think it is.
Think about this. If a girl has a pack of all kinds of pills in her
bag, how strong is she going to be if she decides not to do one of the
most prohibited act by Islamic law? That is premature sex. Let us be
honest and base all our thoughts religiously. At first those small bags
on their solders use to contain their lips sticks and other kinds of
make ups. But now a days if you check those bags one at a time, you
will find a Condom in more than one of them. So girls keeping those
kind of things with them, what does that mean? Again let be honest and
base all thoughts religiously. Then if a religious leader speaks
against this act,is he not great and loyal?
On the issues of what he said to other fellow muslims, Again it's
really offensive,but again think about this. If you are someone who has
a very good Islamic knowledge like my great Imam Fatty, and you
happened to realize that some of your fellow muslims take bribes to
speak against Islam. How are you going to describe those fellow
muslims, especially when giving lectures. Think about it.
Brothers and sister I am pretty much sure that my great Imam Fatty
knows very well that it is over too late to make a stop to these acts.
but trust me, he is doing all that he is supposed to do as someone with
such a knowledge. Because if he dose not, as I said earlier he will
account for it, for not doing so in hereafter.So on that note I
personally recommend him as my greatest Imam as from today. Matter of
fact if anyone may know how to contact him, please help me. Well I
guess Imam's issue is enough for now. In conclusion, I would like to
let everyone know that I am very sorry if I might offend anybody. I
don't mean to do so. I wish everyone a good day and may God bless us
all.
