UZALENDO WANGU: Taarifa kama hizi hutolewa pale tru kunapokua na machafuko katika nchi husika (Host Country), kwa taarifa hii basi pasi na shaka macho ya USA yanaona kinachotendeka na kikundi cha UAMSHO pamoja na Waislamu kama 30% wasioijua hata dini yao inawataka kua na maadili yapi.

Katika nguzo 5 za uislamu kuna kinachowalazimu waislamu kufanya haya tunayoyashuhudia? Hebu njooni enyi mlioshika aya za Mwenyezi Mungu na kuzielewa ipasavyo mnielimishe juu ya hili. Je madai yenu hakuna njia tifauti ya kuyatatua? Au mi nina habari mchanganyiko? Nayasema haya kwa kua Serikali ya Tanzania ilimlea UAMSHO na pale alipoanza kujua kuongea neno lake la kwanza ilikua kumtukana mzazi wake mlezi (Serikali), leo hii anachoma nyumba iliyomlea tangu yu tumboni mwa mama yake kisa ana turubai na mwamvuli(Yu radhi kwa mvua na jua).

ILANI: Tunahutaji mjadala usionyoosha kidole kwa dini ila uelewa wa waumini na imani wanayoiamini kama vinarandana au walipata elimu potofu juu ya hili?

[Mndokanyi]

Ninachoona mimi ni kwamba Uislam kuhusishwa na matukio mengi ya uvinjifu wa amani Tanzania na dunia unapelekea kuonekana ni watu wenye vurugu na watu wasiostaarabika katika huu ulimwengu wa sasa.Hata wale waumini ambao ni 'moderate' wameanza kuwa na mashaka na dini yao,na jambo kubwa ni kwamba dini ni kama chama cha siasa,kinahitaji waumini wapya.Kama itashindwa kujionyesha mbele ya jamii ni hatari kwamba kitakosa waumini wapya,na hata wale waliopo,wataanza kukimbia,hatimaye dini hiyo itakufa.Tunajua kuwa sio Waislamu wote wenye kupenda vurugu,na wala dini hairuhusu,sasa,ni nafasi ya Waislamu kujitazama na kukemea vikali vitendo hivyo mapema.

Umesema kweli, mimi ni mmoja wao, nilizaliwa nikiwa Mwislam, kwa baba na mama, mambo mengi ya kihuni niliyoyaona nikiwa Madrasa na scandal za masheikh na walimu wale wa Madrasa walinifanya nikaacha kabisa dini hii, issue ya mwishoi iliyonitoa ni Mazinge na andishi lake la Wakoritho 15:15, nilijiuliza sana, kwanini kama mtu anasema kweli adanganye? Kuanzia hapo, mi sipo nao tena, Uhuni kwenye dini husababisha wafuasi kuachana nao!

If foreign dignitaries are also aware of this unrest maybe they'll help sit him down(JK) and talk some sense into him

Another unrest is looming. We want Ramadhani Ighondu behind bars or else the country will be ungovernable

 

[bhikola]
