First of all, I greet the Sheekh, and assure him that I wish only good for himself, his family, his mosque, and Somaliland as a whole.
I understand his concern for the people of Somaliland, especially for women and children. Unfortunately, he has heard and published many things about me that are not true, and I take this chance to respond. I would invite the Sheekh to visit me in my office or at my home if he would like to discuss these matters further. I pray for God's blessing on him and on all of Somaliland. Sheekh Adan is correct about certain things.
I am certainly a Christian, and as part of my Christian faith, I speak, whenever I have the opportunity, about Jesus Christ. This is my duty as a Christian, just as Somalilanders often speak to me about the Islamic religion. I am happy to speak about religion, and hope that we can always do so in a respectful and tolerant manner. We need to respect each other's faith, and I respect true practitioners of Islam.
As to the errors Sheekh Adan has made:
1) While I am a physician, I do not use my position to force my faith on other people. This would be unethical and unkind. I do my best to show my patients the love and compassion of Jesus Christ, and pray for them. Many, many of my patients pray for me as well, and bless me according to the Islamic faith.
2) I help many poor people with free medical care, medicine, and sometimes other kinds of aid. This help is never linked to faith. I never offer to help people if they will convert to Christianity. The great majority of people that I help are Muslims and will always be Muslims. I never attempt to buy conversions with money. This would be unethical and ridiculous. No one can buy the soul of another. I never offer to help people leave this country, though many ask me to do this. The story printed in the newspaper about me trying to buy people with medical care and American visas is pure fiction, completely untrue.
Damnnnn, why is he not arrested or kicked out
