Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - BBC --- Timbuktu IslamicManuescripts Not Burned

My Egyptian teacher Adl Hamza (of Mansura) used to tell me that "A
Muslim is a person that does not tell any lies" (I think it was his
subtle way of hinting at his disapproval of the Shia doctrine of
Taqiyya - which I think is a reasonable doctrine ( If the marauding
enemy is hunting down Negroes and they ask you " Are you a Negro ?"
wouldn't it be reasonable top say " No"?

If the two buildings that the Mayor of Timbuktu says were housing some
precious manuscripts have been burned down, surely charred remains of
those buildings is evidence that cannot be denied – except by the
miracle of un-burning the already burnt - like bring back a body of
flesh from the hot coals of the everlasting fires of jahanam

Only thing is that assuming that no inventory had been made as to the
contents or the number of manuscripts etc. then we don't know
exactly how many manuscripts have been lost if indeed there were some
manuscripts in those buildings prior to their being set on fire.

Mwalimu Bangura's statement can only be true/truthful if we can verify
that there were no manuscripts in the buildings that the mayor said
were burned down.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could provide us with the proof of the
claims that he's making!

Otherwise would it not be a heinous crime to falsely accuse the
Venerable Mayor of Timbuktu of lying?

Or should he be judged guilty until proved innocent?

> > Mwalimu Kenneth Harrow and those anti-Muslims/Islam who wanted to see the worst in the Tuareg, I have again been vindicated. The Great Tuareg did not burn any Islamic manuscript in Timbuktu. They know that to do so will mean Hell Fire or Jahannama. For us Muslims, the Torah, the Bible, the Qur'an, the Hadith and other Islamic texts are very dare to us.
