Juu ya OIC na Mahakama ya Kadhi

Quote: OIC

Membership attempts:Membership in the OIC:

1. Attempted to join but blocked India - India has the third largest Muslim population in the world (after Indonesia and Pakistan) and has shown an interest in joining the OICs as an observer nation.

2. While India's candidacy is supported by several OIC members including Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Iran and Egypt,[13] some influential OIC members like Pakistan have blocked India's inclusion into the OIC.

3. They argue that though India is home to more than 135 million Muslims, they form just over 13% of India's total population. (By comparison, Muslims form only 7.3% of Guyana's population, and no more than 15% of Russia's.)[citation needed]

4. Philippines - The Philippine government has made attempts to join the OIC, but this was opposed by the country's Muslim minority. Muslims make up only 5% (4.5 million) of the 90 million population in this predominantly Christian country (this estimate is disputed by the Bangsamoro people that put the Muslim population at 15 million).[14]
 
1. The Organization is the collective voice of the Muslim world and ensuring to safeguard and protect the interests of the Muslim world in the spirit of promoting international peace and harmony among various people of the world.

2. The Organization has the singular honor to galvanize the Ummah into a unified body and have actively represented the Muslims by espousing all causes close to the hearts of over 1.5 billion Muslims of the world.

3. In safeguarding the true values of Islam and the Muslims, the organization has taken various steps to remove misperceptions and have strongly advocated elimination of discrimination against the Muslims in all forms and manifestations.

I mean Tanzania hatuna biashara yoyote ya kujiunga na this kind of organization, wanaojaribu kutuingiza huku wamefilisika kisiasa period!
 
NINA wasiwasi kama maaskofu hawa wa miaka hii wanaojipa utume na unabii kama kweli bado wanasoma theolojia, litajia, historia ya dini, falsafa, saikolojia, sosholojia, critical thinking, interpersonal and organizational communication.

Ninaona ni tofauti sana na wale maaskofu waliokuwa na hekima na busara katika kumpanga matamko yao mbalimbali.

Wa zamani wakitoa tamko ilikuwa labda ni mara moja kwa mwaka. Hawa kila kukichwa wakigeuka hivi wakiamka hivi tamko hili hapa.

Na balaa kubwa ni kuwa uchaguzi wa maneno na kile cha kuzungumzwa ni mbovu na wa kutisha kiasi cha kutilia mashaka makubwa uwezo wao wa kielimu achilia mbali kufikia maamuzi muhimu katika jamii.

Ipo mifano mingi tu kama ile ya kupata jibu kutokana na mahusiano dhahiri katika kile kinachozungumzwa; kuikemea serikali kama vile inaongozwa na wajinga au watoto; kutaka kumfukuza mtu toka kanisa kwa sababu ya masuala aliyotangaza ya kitaifa; na hoja za kupinga mambo ambayo inaonekana hawajui undani wake na wala hawajayafanyia utafiti wa kutosha.

Ukiangalia menejimenti na oganaizesheni ya kanisa kabla ya wao iliikuwa excellent. Hivi leo kaitazame Msimbazi centre-imechoka, katazame miradi ya Iringa, RUCO, balaa tupu-mgahawa unakupa yai moja, kipande 1/10 ya papai eti ndio breakfast; na ninadhani huko Mwanza, Arusha na Kilimanjaro mambo bila shaka ni taabu zaidi. Hili linanifanya kuamini kuwa hawa jamaa wana jambo wanalotaka kulificha kwa waumini wao kwa hiyo wameona watafute mchawi wa nje -ili kuwadanganya kuwa kuna vita kali kati yao na serikali? Waislamu? wanasiasa? Sijui. Labda tusaidiane kutafuta majibu hapa.

UKWELI kwangu hata hivyo ni kwamba:
. Dini zimeshindwa kutusaidia hapa duniani hivi leo sasa imekuwa ni miradi ya wajanja wachache,w engi wakiwa waliwa,
. Soko na uchumi huru ni bomu na matokeo yake sote tunayaona,
. Wanasiasa waliotuahidi kasi mpya, nguvu mpya na ari mpya wameingia mitini na sasa wamebaki kupoteza malengo na wanaonekana kushughulikia zaidi kubakia kwao madarakani na wala sio kumnusuru mwananchi wa kawaida.

Kwa maneno mengine, maaskofu na mashehe -0; siasa-0; soko na uchumi huru=0 na hali mbaya ya mlalahoi nchini na duniani kwa ujumla =3. Kazi kwetu!
 
KAWAULIZE Uganda walivyonufaika kutokana na kujiuna na OIC. Barabara zinajengwa, bandari zinakarabatiwa, hospitali ziko mbioni na mikopo mbalimbali ya kimaendeleo inatolewa. Watanzania tutakuwa tunafilisika kimawazo kama tunadhania kwamba ukiwa na rafiki wa dini nyingine basi tayari umeshakula hasara. Huu ni upuuzi. Maaana lazima ukioa au ukiolewa utakuwa na mjomba au babu au bibi muislamu au mkiristo japo wewe sio wa dini hiyo. Lakini kama alivyosema Mao tufanye utafiti kabla ya kutoa kauli nzito kwa kufuata kile kilichoandikwa miaka 40 iliyopita kama malengo ya waanzilishi wa hiki au kile. Organizations are not static. The market may from time to time dictate that you expand beyond the initial mission and strategic objectives is it not so Field Marshall? Isitoshe, si tumeona Tarime Chama fulani kikiamua kukugawia fedha chukua. Kisha pigia chama kingine kura! QED!
 
Hivi maaskofu wetu wana habari kwamba nchi hizi zenye viongozi safi wa Kikiristo na Wakiristo wengi kuliko Waislamu, yaani, Gabon,Uganda,Cameroon,Benin,Nigeria,Mozambique,Togo na Côte d'Ivoire ni wanachama wa IOC! Tena toka 1974.

Je, kuna hata mmoja aliyekwenda tembelea nchi hizo na kujifunza faida au hasara ambazo imezipata kwa kuwa mwanachama wa IOC!

Hitimisho wanalolifanya hivi sasa pamoja na kina Field Marshal wamelifikiaje. Au imefikia hata sisi wanatheolojia hivi leo kudharau umuhimu wa elimu na utafiti katika yale tunayoyasema au kufanya

Tanzania itafuata "zote mbili". Hi ni kwasababu "si yoyote" kati ya hizi iliyo perfect na vile vile inategemea uwanja gani na wakati gani utakaotukabili. OIC kuwa na decleration yao juu ya human rights ni kuonesha kutokukubaliana kwao fundamentally na hiyo unayoamini wewe kuwa ni "universal". Sasa kama OIC wamebase fully au partially hiyo decleration yao kutoka katika Qur-ani (sijui !!!)au la hiyo ni hiyari yao, na sisi ambao tunajiunga tu na tuchague yenye ku-make sense. Na kama ina make more sense kuliko hiyo unayooiita na kuamini "universal" why don't we take it. Au ndio kwasababu imetokana na Qur-ani ndio chuki inakuja?

Lazima tuamke. Hiyo wanayoiita "universal" ni ya kwetu? Tulishirikishwa wakati inakuwa declared? Most importantly "Does it always make sense? I do not think so.

Mwaka 1948!!! kama Tanzania ilitilishwa saini basi ni mkoloni na kwa manufaa yake, sio yetu. Hii mitego mitego ya kuondokana na ukoloni wa aina moja tukaingia wa aina nyengine sio accident bwana ni mipango hii. Tangu lini mtu akutawale bila ya hiari, degrade your very nature as human being, eploitation of your resources halafu kabla hajaingia mitini kistaarabu kwa kuuona mwisho wa tunnel unakaribia, ulimwengu unabadilika aweke "regime" nyengine ya haki na usawa wa binadamu, kaupata wapi yeye.

NCCR wants debate on OIC
By Consesa John
THE CITIZEN

An opposition political party official yesterday called for free debate over the controversial decision whether Tanzania should join the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

The NCCR Mageuzi secretary for legal, constitution and human rights, Dr Sengondo Mvungi, told a press conference at the party's headquarters in Dar es Salaam, that the Government should be open in the decision it was going to take.
He said he was of the view that Tanzanians should be allowed to freely express their opinions concerning the issue of joining the OIC.

"Muslims and Christians in the country have the right to express their opinions concerning joining the OIC since it is the only way the Government can come to an agreement," he said.

He explained that there were Tanzanians who were ignorant about the whole issue. He therefore urged the Government to give details on OIC so that Tanzanians can be in a better position to know and give their opinions.

He, however, urged media organs to be keen when reporting matters concerning OIC in order to avoid dividing Tanzanians into two, hence spreading enmity.

"Media organs should try to report matters concerning the OIC in a way that will not raise misunderstandings which may divide Tanzanians into groups and make them hate each other," he said.

Last Friday, Christian leaders meeting under the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) gave their opinion on Tanzania joining OIC. They categorically said that doing so would be violating the country's constitution.

Islamic leaders also gave their opinion concerning the issue last Saturday. They said the country should join the OIC and also form Kadhi courts.

Dr Mvungi urged top officials in the Government to observe the morals of the country when making decisions in order to avoid frequent problems such as strikes and riots now happening.

He said most top officials were working for their own benefits and did not care about other Tanzanians. This was against the morals of the country, he said.

"These top officials should know that Tanzanians of today are not like those of the past days. They are bright and know their rights.

"So while making a decision they should not make it to benefit themselves but the entire society, added Dr Mvungi.
 
SMZ yaunga mkono OIC

na Mwanne Mashugu, Zanzibar
Tanzania Daima~Sauti ya watu

SAKATA la Tanzania kutaka kujiunga na Jumuiya ya Kimataifa ya Kiislamu (OIC) limechukua sura mpya baada ya Serikali ya Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar (SMZ) kuunga mkono uamuzi huo kwa madai una masilahi ya kiuchumi na kitaifa.

Kauli hiyo imetolewa na Waziri wa Nchi Ofisi ya Waziri Kiongozi, Hamza Hassan Juma, alipokuwa akitoa msimamo wa Serikali ya SMZ kuhusiana na hatua ya Serikali ya Muungano ya kuwataka Watanzania waondoe wasiwasi na uamuzi wake wa kujiunga na OIC.

Waziri Hamza alisema kujiunga na jumuiya hiyo hakumaanishi kuwa Tanzania itafuata sheria za Kiislamu, bali itafaidika na misaada na mikopo mbalimbali yenye masharti nafuu kutoka katika mpango wa maendeleo wa jumuiya hiyo.

Alisema hata wakati Zanzibar ilipojiunga na jumuiya hiyo ilikuwa inaelewa fika hakutobadilisha mfumo wa utawala au kuingilia imani za dini za watu wengine.

"Kwa muda mrefu Zanzibar tumekuwa tukitetea suala hili na sasa muelekeo umeanza kuonekana na kwa kweli tunaunga mkono msimamo wa Serikali ya Muungano kwa vile jumuiya hii ina faida kubwa za kiuchumi na watakaonufaika ni Watanzania wote na si kundi maalumu la waumini wa Kiislamu," alisema waziri huyo.

"Tumeshtushwa na watu wanaopinga Tanzania kuwa mwanachama wa OIC wakati kuna mataifa kama Uganda na Msumbiji ambao ni wanachama wa OIC, lakini hadi sasa hakujatokezea malalamiko yoyote kwa wananchi wao kuwa misaada hiyo imewalenga Waislamu pekee," alisema Waziri Hamza.

Alitoa mfano na Rais wa Uganda, Yoweri Museveni kuwa ni muumini wa dini ya Kikristo, lakini alikubali nchi hiyo kujiunga na jumuiya hiyo kutokana na faida zinazopatikana katika huduma za kijamii zikiwemo elimu, viwanda na afya.

Waziri huyo alisema Serikali ya Muungano iachiwe jukumu la kujiunga na jumuiya hiyo na kuwaomba viongozi wa dini kuondokana na wasiwasi wa Tanzania kutumbukia katika kundi la nchi zinazofuata sheria za Kiislamu.

Aliongeza hata suala la kuanzishwa kwa Mahakama ya Kadhi, hakumaanishi kuwa Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano imebadilishwa, bali wananchi ndio watakaoendelea kubakia na dini zao wakati serikali yenyewe itabaki kuwa vilevile haina dini.

Alisema viongozi wa dini wanaopinga lazima wajifunze kutoka Zanzibar ambayo ina uzoefu mkubwa kuhusiana na suala la Mahakama ya Kadhi, ambayo hadi sasa hakujawahi kutokea malalamiko kutoka kwa viongozi wa dini nyingine kuwa wanaathirika na mahakama hiyo.

Alisema mahakama hiyo ina majukumu makubwa ya kusimamia kesi zinazowahusu Waislamu hususan mambo ya ndoa na mirathi ambazo licha ya kuwepo kwa mahakama za kiraia ambazo zinaendeshwa kwa sheria za nchi, lakini kesi hizo zimekuwa zikisikilizwa na kuhukumiwa na Mahakama ya Kadhi Zanzibar.

Hivi karibuni Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Bernard Membe, aliwataka Watanzania kuondosha wasiwasi wa suala la Tanzania kujiunga na OIC kwa vile suala hilo lina faida za kiuchumi na kijamii na halitoathiri uhuru wa watu wengine.

Hata hivyo, maaskofu 58 walitoa tamko la pamoja la kumtaka Waziri Membe ajiuzulu iwapo ataendelea kutetea mpango wa Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano kujiunga na jumuiya hiyo kwa madai kuwa uamuzi huo unakwenda kinyume cha Katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano inayosema serikali haina dini isipokuwa wananchi wake ndio wenye dini.

Mkuu Ogah,
Sidhani kama kuna shirikisho lolote la kikristu linalokubali uanachama wa nchi. Haya ni pamoja na World Vision, World Council of Churches etc. Tanzania kama nchi haiwezi kujiunga na haya mashirika. Ni madhehebu tu ya dini husika ndiyo wanachama.

Mkuu Fundi,
.........hoja ya RedCross na World Vision ililetwa na Bob.........nafikiri akiwa na madhumuni ya kulinganisha uwepo wake na utambulikanaji wake hapa Tanzania.........ndio maana nikaanza kuzifutailia na kuona they are quite different na OIC........

Kwa mtazamo wangu there's no faith if there are no doubts. This means that when we think everything is in a mess and we seem to be confused, it's also the time we need faith and faith is mostly concerned with peace of the mind and heart even if there's no physical peace.

Dini is not about wengine - maaskofu, mashekh but about you and me what we do to people around us. Kwa upande wangu, matukio ya kukatisha tamaa ndiyo yanayojenga imani yangu kwa maana kuwa yananionyesha kuwa sina nguvu za peke yangu za kuweza kukabiliana na yote haya na hivyo nahitaji kushirikiana na wengine katika kukabiliana na pengine kuondoa baadhi ya matatizo tunayokumbana nayo na hasa kuelewa kwamba nahitaji Mungu (nature, to be true with myself, to acknowldge there's something beyond what I know, do, see and experience).

Harafu OIC kwa uelewa wangu ni INTERGOVERNEMENTAL ORGANIZATION ambayo ina malengo na madhumumni yake. Kwa hiyo ni lazima kila nchi inayoingia humo ikubaliane na hayo masharti. Je viongozi wetu wameyasoma na kuyaelewa hayo masharti? Tafadhali sana wananchi wenzangu, it is high timne we say enough is enough Huu mtindo wa kufanya mambo kimkumbo haitusaidii kabisa!

Tujiulize..hii OIC ina faida kwetu kama nchi? tumejiunga na mashirika kibao akina COMESA, SADC, AU, UN, EAC nk..leo inabidi tukae chini tujiulize....tumefaidika nini. Infact tumeondoka COMESA na sasa tuna-moot namna ya kuunganisha SADC, EAC, COMESA kiwe kitu kimoja! UNAKUTA MALENGO YALIYO KWENYE BLOCK MOJA KAMA SADC ndiyo hayo hayo yaliyoko kwenye BLOCK nyingine kama EAC AU COMESA! Infact sasa hivi ndo Project kubwa sana ya Africa Union KUUNGANISHA HAYA MASHIRIKA YA AKINA COMESA, SADC, ECOWAS nk. Maana imeonekana dhahiri yote yana malengo sawa! Sasa ni kipi kilichoko kwenye OIC ambacho hatujawahi kupata huko kote tuliko? kama siyo mkumbo na siasa za kuridhisha makundi fulani ?

Kwangu mimi having seen all these blocks za mashirika..sioni faida ya TANZANIA kama nchi kujiunga na OIC. Sana sana kuduplicate yale yale yaliyokwenye SADC, EAC nk!

Nadhani wakati umefika sasa kwa serikali yetu ikarudisha uhusiano wa kibalozi na Israel ili Tanzania iweze kunufaika na misaada ya kiuchumi na kimaendeleo kutoka kwa Israel kama ilivyokuwa miaka ya mwanzo baada ya uhuru.

Tutafaidika sana na technologia ya kilimo cha umwagiliaji,ujenzi na technologia ya mawasiliano.
Wito kwa waziri Membe katika hili kwani sababu zilizofanya tuvunje uhusiano na taifa hilo teule la Mungu hazina nguvu kwa sasa kwa kuwa Tanzania tunachoangalia ni pesa na misaada tutakayopata.

Ahsante kaka, naona unajaribu kuwa both side of the coin, ndiyo tabia za kina Beno, Lowassa, Karamagi, Msabaha, Rostam, Mkapa na Membe, siku zote hudhani wa-Tanzania ni wajinga, kumbe wajinga ni wao na wale wote wanaowaunga mkono,

Niliwahi kusema huko nyuma itafika siku mafisadi mtakosa cha kuiba maana mtakuwa mmemaliza kila kitu cha taifa, exactly ndipo mlipo sasa mnajua kuwa vimeanza kuisha vya kuiba serikalini, sasa mnataka kutuingiza mikenge mipya kwenye mashirika ya Kii-Isilamu, cha kusikitisha ni kwamba no matter what lazima wanakuwa na washabiki wao mpaka huku JF wanaowatupia makombo kidogo, tena mpaka wenye PHDddddddd! ambao tungetegemea watusaidie lakini vipande vichahe vya dinari na wao wanatusaliti!

Mliiba urais Dodoma 2005, mpaka leo hamjaridhika ukila nyama ya mtu once matokeo yake ndio haya ndugu yangu lazima ule zaidi na zaidi, sasa mnataka kutupeleka OIC, kesho mtatupeleka wapi?

Bwa! ha! ha! ah! ah! ahhhhhhhhhhh!Tumewashitukia mkono kwenye nyama na kwenye kunde ndio tabia yenu masikini ya Mungu!

Kaka hili ndio tatizo. Kwa kuwa napishana mawazo nawe haina maana kuwa nimsaliti. Kwa kuwa nasema kuwa alichokifanya Membe ni kutekeleza wajibu wake kama Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje haina maana kuwa mimi ni mmoja wa wanamtandao walio- MGARAGAZA Mzee wetu kule CHIMWAGA. Na ukweli ni kuwa Chimwaga hakukuwa na wizi wa kura. Kilichotokea ni wafuasi wa Mzee Malecela walipoona ulaji wao unaondoka wakakubali yaishe na kufanya deal na JK wakiogopa kutengwa kimaslahi. Ndio hasara ya kufanya siasa katika KUNDI FISADI chini ya MFUMO FISADI

Na hili suala la kumhusisha dogo Beno na kina Lowassa just because anaonekana kikwazo kwa kijana wa Mzee Malecela and other disgruntled old and young guards katika chama "CHENU" sio uana-demokrasia wala uanasiasa bora tunaojidai kuupigia kelele hapa. I stand to be corrected kaka...hakuna mkono wa MAFISADI MAARUFU nyuma ya ugombea wa BENO MALISA...

Mwenzio ndugu yangu naangalia siasa kama proffesion yangu na sio maslahi yangu wala emotions...i wish nawe ungejitahidi kufanya hivyo ukizingatia unajianda kwenda kupambana na bingwa wa longolongo LUSINDE mdogo (najua hana undugu na JOB) ambaye Mzee Malecela alimkatia kidogo pamoja na kumuahidi kumwachia ufalme wa ijijini MTERA....

Nipo maeneo yako kaka nitakutafuta siku za karibuni tuendelee na mijadala...
