[mademan4life]

u mean it shoud be someone like Ahmed Thompson?

[YahyaSnow]

The point is he could have done better if English was his native tongue. That is all I mean.

I do not mean to say he did poorly, all I am saying he could have done better than the "pretty well" you allocate him if he was a better word-smith (ie on par with White)

Peace

[GothThug81]

[YahyaSnow]

I think the Muslim was hampered by his lack of fluency in the English language
