well I know Manny Ramjohn was in an Olympics for sure.  Not sure bout Manny Dookie.  In any case, I feel that there must be someone more recent.

(Holassie always look Indian to me.)

It was far more recent.

However, I am ashamed to say that for years now whenever I heard Mannie Ramjohn (I was thinking of Manny Dookie) :-(

All I can say is I saw him run one or two races at home in the early 80s and he looked very strong, he ran around the track hard.

I know Mannie Dookie did represent TT in the Commonwealth Games. But I also think he ran for TT in the 1948 Olympic in London. Help me out.

So Dookie never ran in the Olympics? You guys also know there was a track club from St. James called Dookie School of Athletics in the 60' and 70's.

are you serious, "no such thing as a Pakistani name" lol, you're joking right? What is a Muslim name? Is there a muslim name book one can go to for names? All those so-called "muslim names" are usually Arabic names. The Pakistanis had names before they had Islam.

There was no Pakistan before 1948 so what you saying those names only started existing post '48.

But I understand what you saying about an ARab name.

Wow...
the man name muslim so he can't be Indian?
allyuh serious?  so then according to your logic, the 160.9 muslims in Indians with muslim names not indian?  ask Shah rukh khan what he is.  and since he have a muslim name according to more of your logic he neither Arabic or Pakistani, he must be Indonesian since they have the most muslims in the world

now to make things more confusing ...oh yeah...Rafeek is an Arabic name...
