واشنطن : معارضين فى ضيافة الامن ؟؟؟؟؟

Quote: Ustaz Khidr and the rest, I just stumbled into this POST and want to make a few clarifications. I was moderating the discussion, and during the Q&A session, Mr. Mohammed Suleiman raised his hand to contribute to the discussion. I gave him an opportunity in the spirit of the event as a democratic forum for the exchange of ideas, regardless of the source. It was my personal decision, and I am sure others in the FORUM, which I am not a member of, may have objections but they respected my independence as a Moderator and did not try to impose their view. I am pointing this out so as not to allow the insinuation that the fact Mr. Mohammed Suleiman was given an opportunity to ask a questions and participated as part of the audience means this proves that everyone is either in bed with security elements of the government or condones such behavior. Moreover, people come to symposiums in Washington because they see the announcements posted on sudanesenline.com and other sites, and not because they received personal invitations from the organizers. Since the event was held at a public venue in Virginia, everyone is entitled to attend and cannot be barred. Therefore, the question of engaging with the Security Officer by members of political parties opposed to the government should not be mixed with his attendance at a public symposium like what we had a few days ago.
