Uko sahihi kabisa, kuna wakati Wachungaji wakanisa ugeuka kuwa Mashetani, huwa inatokea mara moja moja makanisa kuwa brutal. Lakini Nenda Iran, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan Ukiwa umevaa Rozali uone kama WAISLAM HAWATAKUKATA KICHWA?
Kwanza hilo la wachungaji kuwa masheta ni siyo kuwa "hutokea mara moja moja" kuwa "Mashetani". Ni mara nyingi sana tu na ushahidi nnao hapa hapa.
Pili, hapo juu point yako ilikuwa "waislam kukimbilia makanisani" mimi nimekuonesha ni akina nani hukimbilia misikitini, na sijamaliza, hiyo ilikuwa ni bashraf tu ya Kigali sasa soma ya Ruhengeri, soma:
RUHENGERI, Rwanda -- The villagers with their forest green head wraps and forest green Korans arrived at the mosque on a rainy Sunday afternoon for a lecture for new converts. There was one main topic: jihad.
They found their seats and flipped to the right page. Hands flew in the air. People read passages aloud. And the word jihad -- holy struggle -- echoed again and again through the dark, leaky room.
"We have our own jihad, and that is our war against ignorance between Hutu and Tutsi. It is our struggle to heal," said Saleh Habimana, the head mufti of Rwanda. "Our jihad is to start respecting each other and living as Rwandans and as Muslims."
Since the genocide, Rwandans have converted to Islam in huge numbers. Muslims now make up 14 percent of the 8.2 million people here in Africa's most Catholic nation, twice as many as before the killings began.
Many converts say they chose Islam because of
the role that some Catholic and Protestant leaders played in the genocide. Human rights groups have documented several incidents in which
Christian clerics allowed Tutsis to seek refuge in churches, then surrendered them to Hutu death squads, as well as instances of
Hutu priests and ministers encouraging their congregations to kill Tutsis. Today some churches serve as memorials to the many people slaughtered among their pews.
Four clergymen are facing genocide charges at the U.N.-created International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and last year in Belgium, the former colonial power,
two Rwandan nuns were convicted of murder for their roles in the massacre of 7,000 Tutsis who sought protection at a Benedictine convent.
In contrast, many Muslim leaders and families are being honored for protecting and hiding those who were fleeing.
Some say Muslims did this because of the religion's strong dictates against murder, though Christian doctrine proscribes it as well. Others say Muslims, always considered an ostracized minority, were not swept up in the Hutus' campaign of bloodshed and were unafraid of supporting a cause they felt was honorable.
"I know people in America think Muslims are terrorists, but for Rwandans they were our freedom fighters during the genocide," said Jean Pierre Sagahutu, 37, a Tutsi who converted to Islam from Catholicism after his father and nine other members of his family were slaughtered. "I wanted to hide in a church, but that was the worst place to go. Instead, a Muslim family took me. They saved my life."
