Tatizo ni foundation ya dini yenyewe ! wakatu dini zingine zinafundisha uvulilivu, wenzetu wanafundishwa kwamba ukidhulumiwa na wewe ukakubali kudhulumiwa unatenda dhambi. Kwa hiyo hata ukiisi kwamba unadhulumiwa unaweza kufanya lolote hata kama halina ukweli wowote, ndo mafundisho ya wenzetu.

Kitu cha pili wenzetu hawa hawana central command, pope ana uwezo wa kutoa mwelekeo wa kanisa katoliki, lakini wenzetu kila mmoja nafanya atakalo kulingana na tafsiri yake mwenyewe!

Tutarajie mengi ijumaa baada ya kukariri Quran bila kutafakari kwa kini.....
Ni bora umpe wanao elimu ya darasani kuliku kumpiga na kumlazimisha aende kukariri mafundisho ya dini ambayo hataelewa kwanini anayaenda....

Nimetoka kununua copy yangu ya kurhani sasa hivi. lazima kuna ushawishi mkubwa sana kwenye hiki kitabu, nadhani hata majeshi yetu yanastahili kukitumia, sikumbuki kulifahamu kundi lililokuwa mobilized kutumia nguvu na kuua kwa ufanisi kama islamu.

[kawakama]

kazi kama hiyo ya kuvunja aman ya NCHI inaweza kufaanywa na watu wasionaelimu
wasio na kazi
wasioweza kufikiri sawasawa
wanaodhani wananonewa muda wote(INFERIORITY COMPLEX)
wanaodhani wataenda peponi kwa kuua watu wasio na hatia
wanaodhani kuandamana na kuchoma makanisa ndio suluhisho la matizo yao
wanaojifanya hawali kitimoto huku ndo walaji wakuu
wanaodhani UKRISTO ni uadui

 

[WEMBE WENGE]

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.

Mndokanyi, Great thinkers hawaongei/hawaandiki kama kama wewe labda umeingia kwa makosa,basi soma kwanza maandiko ya wenzako. Waislam wanayo malalamiko yao ya msingi ambayo yananyang'anywa na watawala mbalimbali duniani, Marekani na nchi za magharibi wamefikia kuweka viongozi vibaraka ili kuwakandamiza waislam kwa sababu wazozijua wao, na pia wameweka makanisa kuendeleza kuukandamiza mfumo wa kiislam. angalia Somalia, kwa vile tuu wasomali walitaka iwe dola ya kiislam ona yaliyowakuta, Sudan, na kila mahala, ukutaja islam umejipalia makaa mara utaitwa alkaeda, ama siasa kali. sasa unajua binadamu uvumilivu wake una kikomo na hasa pale atakapojua kwamba anaonewa na kudharauliwa kama ufanyavyo wewe Mndokanyi
kauli yako hii ni ya dharau kubwa kwa watu, mtume na waumini wa dini ya Kiislam, nadhani kwa maneno haya sijui kama unachokilalamikia kitapata jibu.
nakuomba uache kejeli na ujadili mambo kwa uhalisia uache kuropoka. Dini siyo siasa, dini ni jambo muhimu sana katika mfumo maisha ya binadamu.

Hivi Mungu anayewaongoza Waislamu ni yule yule Mungu Mmoja kwa Watu wote? Mungu anayeabudiwa na wa kweli ni Mungu wa Upendo, Mungu Mvumilivu, Mungu wa Huruma, Mungu asiyelipiza kisasi, Mungu wa Amani. Mbona Mungu wa Waislamu anakosa yote hayo? Ulimwengu mzima ni vurugu, fujo, mauaji katika maeneo ya Waislamu. Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Libya, Indonesia n.k.!!! Mhuuu! Ndani ya Uislamu kuna Mungu kweli??

U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Security Message for U.S. Citizens

November 10, 2012

Over the past several weeks, the U.S. Embassy has received many reports of U.S. citizens being assaulted and robbed while riding in taxis in Dar es Salaam. Being the victim of a crime is not always preventable, but there are some steps you can take to protect yourself. The assaults follow a similar pattern: a person enters a taxi, often hailed by a third party. Another person is already in the car, or someone else gets in shortly thereafter. Then they demand your money. If you resist, they beat, threaten, and frighten you. They drive you from one ATM to another to withdraw funds until you reach your limit. Victims report they are being hit, cut, and bruised if they do not cooperate. When the victim's fund source has been depleted, the assailants drop off the victim. The perpetrators call themselves the "Tanzanian" or "Little Mafia." Please note these assaults are happening during the day as well as night.

We strongly urge you to observe these safety suggestions:
· Use only use a licensed taxi* selected by a reputable hotel or restaurant, or one parked at an official taxi stand.
· Never get in a taxi hailed by someone you just met.
· Avoid riding in group taxis (daladalas and bajajis).
· Do not travel alone.
· If a taxi stops to pick up another passenger, exit immediately.
· Do not carry a credit or debit card unless absolutely necessary.
· Keep only a small amount of cash that you need for that specific activity.
· Keep your passport in a secure location; put a photocopy in your pocket.
· Avoid carrying a bag, jewelry, or any personal electronics. If you must carry a bag, ensure it is 'quick release', i.e., one that you can drop before being dragged or injured.
· If assaulted or robbed, report the incident to the police and ask for a written report. (You will need the report for insurance or other future claims.)
· If you are the victim of violent crime overseas, you may be eligible for benefits offered by your state's victim compensation fund. Follow this link for more information.
· Be mindful of your safety at all times.
· Please contact us if you are the victim of a violent crime in Tanzania.

*What Does a Licensed Taxi Look Like?

(Please note we cannot vouch for the safety of any vehicle or driver, this is just a checklist to determine whether a taxi might be licensed.)

· A white car with a white (never yellow) license plate
· A colored stripe running laterally on the side panels of the vehicle
· A number inside a circle on both passenger doors
· Specific windshield stickers, namely:
o A valid insurance certificate
o TRA sticker indicating the maximum number of passengers
o A motor vehicle license certificate
o A municipal council parking stand sticker
· Does the driver's i.d. match the name of the car registration and taxi licenses?

Please be safe when you use public transportation.
