The Gambia Now Islamic Republic Of Gambia by Sulaimon01(m): 8:02am On Dec 13, 2015
ISLAMIC REBUPLIC OF GAMBIA

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh has declared
the country an Islamic republic, BBC reports.
Speaking with state TV, Jammeh noted that the
move marks a break with the colonial past and it is
line with Gambia’s “religious identity
and values”. Explaining his decision, the president
said: “As Muslims are the majority in the country,
the Gambia cannot afford to
continue the colonial legacy”. Gambia’s population
of 1.8 million people are 95% Muslim. Jammeh
assured citizens of other faiths
that no dress code would be imposed and they
would still be
able to practice freely. Alhamdulillah

Isn't there a dissonance between Islam and a republic? One wonders how successful Islam can be in a republic, which is inherently a secular idea.

Congrats to the Gambia, I hope they (muslims) will now stay in their islamic republic instead of running to the land of the 'infidels' (the US and Europe) in their millions.

What would satisfy you?

Until they start murdering people in the name of Allah?

Or stoning people to the death?

Muslim nations support dictators as long as the move in the direction of Islamization - not a bad move for Jammeh, but where is he now
