To those attacking Imam Baba Leigh, I personally will pick him to lead me in prayers over you and your imams any day, any time and anywhere. You may be more knowledgeable but for me, Knowledge without action is of no use. And when it came to taking action against abuse, Baba Leigh was present. Not collecting money from the evil hands of a killer and a rapist, he was there for the victimized! Importantly, I know that some of you used to pray for Yaya Jammeh to continue to “rule” Gambia longer knowing very well that he was killing, raping and stealing from Gambians! Talk is cheap today and everyone can afford it! But when it was expensive, few of those making noise today and claiming moral superiority dared open their mouths! Some feared Yaya more than their own creator!
It’s easy to rail and rant today and assume ones position on some moral or religious pole, but when Yaya was abusing our fathers and mothers calling them witches, I wonder what happened to the moral stance then! When Yaya was organizing musical jamborees and abusing our womenfolk, I wonder where was the moral and religious outrage! Who are the people that bestowed the tItle Sheikh Nasirudeen on a murderer and rapist? Some of you against Imam Baba Leigh are fighting Yaya Jammeh’s battle! You hate everyone that spoke out against his evil!
Imam Baba Leigh stood up when most of those making noise today minded their business! Yes, even when Ba Kawsu was arrested and tortured, they minded their business. When Imam Sawaneh was arrested, they continued to pray for Yaya! I guess it’s easy to find one’s moral and religious voice when there is no danger! And here I am thinking all that we should fear is our creator! Apparently, many feared Jammeh’s evil machinery even more than their creator!
One thing I know and I’m certain of, if Imam Baba Leigh knows that I’m being abused in The Gambia, he will speak out against it no matter what danger he faces or opportunities he loses. He won’t speak out because of my person, he will speak out because I’m Gambian! I’d rather take my chances with him than with some spineless knowledgeable and religious dealer who disappears when the going gets tough!
