This life with her unbalanced template, Ordinary Ahmad Isah has used his all in defense of the poor, vulnerable and oppressed, going broke and hungry for the masses, one hubris, the world forgets his goods and dwelling on just one gaffe. Not for once have you praised his many goods but here you are hyperventilating in hypocritical anger against his moment of uncontrolled reflex! Let he without sin cast the stone.
Emotions when deeply bruised can send one to his lowest ebb, I remember a highly placed man of the altar going berserk when a lady said she was a witch for Christ. In a moment of unrestrained anger, he landed torrents of slaps on the lady to the bewilderment of church members. Ordinary Ahmad Isah couldn't contain it when the woman that poured kerosene on her housemaid and lit a match stick and left her burning came to his studio.
As condemn able as his provocation was, we shouldn't join the naysayers in denigrating a good man whose moment of uncontrolled anger made him to go against his creed. Never seen a peaceful and compassionate man like Ahmad Isah, that this happened is not enough to demonize him. He has saved the dignities of many that this should be overlooked and taken as one of the weaknesses of a mortal.
Frankly musing
