And of course, your use of the phrase "crazy jihadi witchdoctor" is intended to provoke.

Let's consider the facts:

1. Jammeh is an islamist with close ties to Iran. The term "jihadi" is thus accurate.

2. Jammeh, who has no medical training, claims to have cured AIDS by mashing bananas together. It is therefore reasonable to question his sanity.

3. Jammeh's "cure" consists of a potion concocted from mashed bananas and it can only be taken on Thursdays in groups equally divided between men and women, exhibits the unscientific superstitions of a witchdoctor.

Conclusion: Jammeh is a crazy jihadi witchdoctor.

1. Jammeh is an islamist with close ties to Iran. The term "jihadi" is thus accurate.

First "fact": wrong.

From the Iranian state news agency:

"Speaking in a joint press conference with his Gambian counterpart al-Haji Yahya Jammeh here in Tehran on Monday, Ahmadinejad described the two countries' relations as friendly, deep and extensive, stressing that Tehran and Banjul share common views about regional and international issues.

Reminding that the two states also share almost identical views about the issues of the world of Islam, he stressed the two sides' decisiveness to further develop and deepen ties."

So as I said, Jammeh is an islamist with close ties to Iran. The term "jihadi" is thus accurate.

So if Ahmadniejad says it, it's true?

Perhaps you'll be suggesting that Chavez is an Islamist next?

So if Ahmadniejad says it, it's true?

If Ahmadenijad says the dictator of Gambia is his close personal friend and fellow Islamist, and if the dictator of Gambia says the same thing about Ahmadenijad there's little reason to doubt that they are.
