KWA KIFUPI: Waislam nchini Sri Lanka wanaishi kwa uoga wa jamii kuwatenga baada ya kundi la kiislam kukiri kuhusika na mashambulio dhidi ya makanisa yaliyotokea kipindi cha Pasaka.
Misikiti imekuwa kimya na hawatumii tena zile loudspeaker zao kuwaita waumin wao mda wa sala.
Wengi wameacha kwenda kazini na sasa wanajifungia makwao.
Zaidi Soma:
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — As evidence emerges that Islamist militant groups planned and carried out the Easter Sunday bombings that killed more than 350 people in Sri Lanka, the country’s nervous Muslim communities are scrambling to show they share the nation’s shock and grief.
Mosque leaders have stopped broadcasting prayer calls over loudspeakers to avoid offending mourners. They have put up banners with messages of condolence for the victims. They have met with Catholic Church and police officials, and packed food kits for funeral volunteers.
They also are bracing for a wave of anger and possibly violent retaliation that has begun to emerge. Hateful online messages blaming Muslims for the attacks have evaded the government’s emergency social media ban, and stones have been thrown at several Muslim homes and businesses.
