Hopes for a better future

Editor,

The new US president, Barack Hussein Obama, is the choice to lead the nation of the brave, the land of freedom; to restore world peace, dignity, human rights, real democracy and the American dream.

Congratulation, Mr President and First Lady Michelle. The world is looking up to you. May the Almighty Allah help you to deliver on your promises as you have solemnly sworn. Change is on the way though the challenges are tremendous. The job is tough, fight the DC lobbyist, help the poor and preserve capitalism. I hope to see you leading a united world in a real democracy and spreading the wonderful great American Civil Law. Let the world know love and peace and not war and death.

98% of Muslims in American are good patriots with deep love and care for the homeland; a lot more deserve national security clearance to serve our flag. Dearborn schools in Michigan teach Arabic as a second language and proudly have a great mosque, along three other churches in the same area. A synagogue is not far away. God bless the United States of America.

Finally, as a Gambian citizen, I hope for better education, better health care and more new jobs to minimise poverty here, back home in The Gambia.

So help us God. Alsalamou Alaykum.
