Mtoto Aliyefanya watu zaidi ya 1,000 Kuslimu!

5 year old Miraculous Tanzanian boy converts thousands of people to Islam
Sharif-uddin (or Sharif-iddin) Khalifa, is a miraculous boy, born in in Arusha, in the Northern part of Tanzania (a country in East Africa), in December 1993. Muslims are only a minority in Tanzania and Arabic language is not a native in Tanzania. His parents were Catholic Christians. Their native language is Swahili and they did not know Arabic.
When he was a little child, his parents (who were Christians) noticed that he was able to recite the whole Quran by heart, even though no body had ever taught him to do so.
At the age of two months, he refused to suckle his mother's milk.
At the age of four months, he started reciting verses from the Holy Quran.
By the time he was one-year old, he was able to recite the whole Quran and went on to be able to preach in Arabic, Swahili and French without any formal education.
It is reported that his first words were: "You people repent and you will be accepted by God" and he spoke these words in Arabic. His concerned parents initially thought he was possessed by demons and called Christian priests to pray for the baby.
Eventually, Muslim neighbors were able to interpret Sharif's alien speech. After his parents recognized that the significance of what their boy is saying and that he is miracle from God, his parents converted to Islam.
Furthermore, despite the fact that he is from Tanzania, he speaks Arabic fluently in addition to 4 other languages (English, French, Italian, and Swahili). He is able to pick up languages very fast, he once said: "I went to Congo and heard people speaking Lingala (the local language). I immediately was able to start speaking it."
Today, he delivers sermons and lectures in Africa and Europe that draw thousands of people to listen to him. Because of this boy, thousands of people have converted to Islam.
The following is an article about him that was published in a Scottish newspaper on Aug. 8,1999:

How Idi Amin, the 'Butcher of Uganda' changed my life -- for good
By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries
KAMPALA, UGANDA
(ANS) -- It's hard to believe, but it is
true, that Idi Amin Dada, who became known as the "Butcher of Uganda"
for his brutal, despotic rule while president of Uganda in the 1970s,
and was possibly the most notorious of all Africa's post-independence
dictators, changed my life for good.
|
|
Idi Amin with the many medals he had awarded himself
|
Winston Churchill visited
Uganda and wrote a book in 1908 called "My African Journey" in which he
said, "For magnificence, for variety of form and color, for profusion of
brilliant life -- bird, insect, reptile, beast -- for vast scale --
Uganda is truly 'the Pearl of Africa.'"
But by 1979, when Amin
fled into exile; first to Libya and then to Saudi Arabia where he died
in Jeddah on August 16, 2003, his country had been reduced to a
"Tarnished Pearl of Africa."
Amin's time in power saw
shocking bloodshed, with a number of his opponents either murdered,
tortured, or imprisoned. His insatiable bloodlust finally saw, according
to human rights observers, at least 500,000 Ugandans killed during his
eight-year reign of terror.
For many, he became a huge joke and was satirized on British TV by actor John Bird, especially after he gave himself so many titles, including "His Excellency, President for Life," "Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor," "Idi Amin Dada, VC,[C] DSO, MC," "Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular."

So how on earth did this
vicious killer, who took power in a military coup of January 1971,
deposing Milton Obote, and a former heavyweight boxer, who stood 6 feet,
4 inches tall and weighed 270 pounds, changed my life and helped me
find a new mission in my life - helping the Persecuted Christian Church?
Well, it began in the
Spring of 1979 while I was in a smoky bar off Fleet Street, London (the
then center of the British newspaper industry. It was called "The Stab
in the Back" and I was drunk as usual with my colleagues, when an old
friend, Ray Barnett, came back into my life after he became deeply
concerned at how far I had slipped from my earlier Christian faith. (I
had been born in Nigeria of British missionary parents, and my father
later became an Evangelical pastor in Birmingham, England, for some 30
years.)
Ray, an Irish-Canadian,
who had founded a non-profit called Friends in the West and later began
the African Children's Choir, had previously taken me on a reporting
trip to Russia, where we were held briefly under house arrest, and often
looked me up when he was in London.
Ray who was born in
Coleraine, Northern Ireland, and later settled in British Columbia,
Canada, was aware that I was desperately unhappy with my life as a
tabloid reporter with the Sunday People newspaper and really wanted to
help me get my life back on track with God.
So in that smoky bar
filled with cynical London hacks, Ray shared with me the incredible
story of the courageous Christians of Uganda who had survived the
"Uganda Holocaust." He explained that 300,000 believers were among those
who were slaughtered during the mass killings of those eight years of
Amin's misrule.
He then challenged me to
give my life and talents back to the Lord; quit my job and travel with
him to Uganda to write a book on what had happened in that country. His
timing couldn't have been better and that night I recommitted my life to
the Lord, agreed to quit my job on the Sunday People, one of Britain's
largest circulation newspapers, and fly to Uganda with him to begin work
on the book which was eventually published by Pickering And Inglis , a
British publisher, and also by Zondervan in the United States. It was
called "Uganda Holocaust."

I smiled wryly. "Yes, I have.
You know, on the last day at the paper they had a reception and all the
staff sang 'All things bright and beautiful' for me. I think they must
have made history. I don't think a hymn's ever been sung in the Sunday
People newsroom before.
"I'm glad I'm out, but it
was quite a wrench. It was as if I had a ladder up to a building which
was my career. I had crawled and scratched my way to the top and when I
got there I discovered I had the ladder against the wrong building all
the time.."
As the plane touched down
on the runway at the battle-scarred airport, the passengers, mainly
Ugandan refugees returning home, clapped joyously as the hostess said
"Welcome home!"
In Nairobi, we had
approached World Vision International and they agreed to allow Ray and
me to join one of their relief reconnoiters, and to travel with them in a
Volkswagen Kombi van that would take us on the long, hair-raising
journey into the very heart of the Uganda holocaust.
Now at Entebbe, we
clambered down the steps of the plane to be greeted by a hot, stuffy
billow of air, and I noticed a huge presence of Tanzanian troops. About
three hundred yards from our plane, the notorious "Whisky Run" jet stood
motionless and riddled with bullets. This Boeing 707, bearing the
black, red, and yellow insignia of Uganda Airlines, used to make a
weekly fourteen-hour flight to Stanstead Airport in England, where
Amin's men would load it up with booze (even though they were Muslims)
and other "goodies" for the killer squads.

As we walked into the
devastated terminal, it was amusing to see a table with a single
immigration official, parked in the middle of the twisted mess. I
presented my passport and before he even looked at it, he fixed me with a
baleful stare and asked in an eerily, controlled voice, "Do you have
any Kenyan newspapers? It gets so boring here with only two flights a
day." (One was from Kenya, the other Zaire.)
I lamely handed him a Nairobi newspaper, so he stamped my
passport. Obviously documentation didn't mean too much, as long as I had
something for him to read.
When the three of us got
through customs, we were met by Geoffrey Latim, a former Olympic athlete
who had fled the country during Amin's reign. He was to be our guide.
Latim led us to a Christian customs officer who, while being watched by a
poker-faced Tanzanian soldier armed with a rifle, made a token check of
our bags.
"There is no phone link
with Kampala and little or no petrol (gasoline)," explained Latim. "So
we might be in for a long wait until a driver arrives for us. He dropped
me off and said he would be back later."
Latim was right. During
that time, the Christian customs official, who turned out to be from the
Acholi tribe, joined us for a chat. He shared with us how God had saved
his life. "I was going to be killed on April 7, 1979," he said. "But on
the sixth, Entebbe was liberated by the Tanzanians troops and my life
was spared."
The man revealed that his
name was on a death list found when the State Research Bureau
headquarters at Nakasero, Kampala, was liberated by the Tanzanians. He
looked sad as he told of the heartbreak of his job during Amin's rule.
"I saw many people passing through customs and I knew there was no way
they would reach the aircraft," he said tragically. "They would be
intercepted by the State Research men and never be heard of again. These
terrible killers were all over the airport. Most of them were
illiterate and had gotten their jobs because they were of the same tribe
as Amin."
Eventually the Kombi
arrived and we began the thirty-mile journey to the capital. We were
stopped at several road blocks set up by the Tanzanians, and Latim
patiently explained to the positively wild-looking soldiers-most of whom
were carrying a rifle in one hand, a huge looted "ghetto-blaster"
playing loud, thumping disco music in the other -- why we were in
Uganda. Burned-out military hardware, including tanks, littered the
sides of the main highway to Kampala.
Soon we were at the
Namirembe Guest House, run by the Church of Uganda, but originally set
up by the Church Missionary Society. It was getting dark as the van
bumped its way into the grounds, which are just below the cathedral.
"You are all most
welcome," said the ever-smiling manager, Naomi Gonahasa. We soon
realized the incredible difficulties under which she and her staff were
working. There was no running water and so it had to be brought in jerry
cans from the city on the back of a bicycle, at $1.50 US a can.
Each resident was
rationed to one bottle of brownish water per day -- and that was for
everything. They had no gas for cooking, so it was all done on a
charcoal fire. What made it even more difficult was that there were no
telephones working in the entire city, so we could not alert any of
Ray's contacts that we had arrived.
When we unpacked in the
fading light, we heard the sounds of machine-gun fire reverberating
across the city below us. Then came the sounds of heavy explosions and
of screaming and wailing, which continued all through the night.
I now realized that Ray
had been deadly serious when he told me that this trip could cost me my
life. I got down by my bed and re-committed my life to the Lord.
"God," I said against a
background of screaming, "I don't know what is going to happen here, but
I want you to have your own way with my life, and that of Ray. We
realize the dangers, but they are nothing to what our brothers and
sisters here have faced over the past eight years."
As I stood up, I turned
to Ray who was calmly lying on his bed, reading his Bible, and said, "A
fine mess you've got me into again.."
He smiled. "Where would you rather be -- in Fleet Street, or here, serving the suffering church of Uganda?"
He smiled. "Where would you rather be -- in Fleet Street, or here, serving the suffering church of Uganda?"
My look showed him that I knew I was now in the center of God's will.
During our stay at the guest house, we became firm friends with Naomi and her husband Stephen. As we built up trust with them, they revealed their part in saving the lives of believers on the run from Amin's savage killers.
During our stay at the guest house, we became firm friends with Naomi and her husband Stephen. As we built up trust with them, they revealed their part in saving the lives of believers on the run from Amin's savage killers.
I learned from them the secret code word which they responded to when someone came to them for sanctuary.
"This was a good hiding place from State Research people,"
said Stephen. "People would turn up here and as long as they knew the
code word "Goodyear", we would hide them. Their food was served in their
rooms. Naturally we would not let them sign the guest register in case
it would be checked."
Naomi added, "We were not really frightened, because we believed that God was protecting us."
This sincere young
couple, obvious targets for the thugs of the Ugandan State Research
Bureau, were also active members of an underground church. Often
believers from the Deliverance Church, one of the twenty-seven groups
banned by Amin after he claimed had received orders from Allah in
dreams, would have meetings in the lounge of the guest house.
The next morning we had
our first experience of the terrible ferocity of Amin's battle against
the church during his reign of terror. We went to a church in Makerere,
run by the Gospel Mission to Uganda. As we examined the bullet holes
that had riddled the ceiling and the walls, I asked a member what had
happened.
He told me that on April
12, 1978, Amin's wild-eyed soldiers had invaded the church and begun
firing indiscriminately at the 600-strong congregation. Assistant
pastor, Jotham Mutebi, was on the platform and he sank to his knees in
prayer.
Amid the mayhem, hundreds
more quickly dropped to their knees between the pews. With upraised
arms they began to praise the Lord. The sturdy red brick church was
filled with a cacophony of incredible sound-a combination of prayer,
praise and bullets.
Joseph Nyakairu, a member
of the church orchestra, raised his trumpet to his lips and blew it as
loudly as he could. The Amin soldiers thought the Christians were about
to counter-attack and fled the sanctuary.

200 church members who were going to be burned alive celebrating their freedom
(Photo: Dan Wooding) |
They were taken to the State
Research Bureau headquarters at Nakasero, and there they were mocked and
told that as soon as General Mustafa Adrisi, Idi Amin's
second-in-command, signed the execution order, they would all be burned
alive.
The 200 sat in silent
prayer and, even as they prayed, General Adrisi was involved in a
terrible car crash in which both his legs were badly fractured. He ended
up a cripple in a wheelchair and finally Amin turned against him," said
one believer.
When the signed order from Adrisi did not appear, the guards
led the prisoners to the cells. They were kept behind bars for some
months. Many of them were badly tortured, but miraculously none of them
died.
As we left these incredible people, I turned to Ray and said, "I've never met believers of this caliber in my country. They certainly have much to teach us about faith and courage."

We bumped along for hours on end, having to stop regularly at road blocks.

Idi
Amin with Archbishop Luwum. Note the pistol at the side of Amin. He was
said to have used it shortly afterwards to murder the Archbishop
|
Mildred Brown, an English woman who was working in the region translating the Scriptures into Acholi for the Bible Society, began to explain how Janani's body had been taken to his home village of Mucwini, near the Sudan border, for burial.
His mother, at her home, told the soldiers, "My son is a Christian.
He cannot be buried here; he must be buried in the graveyard of the
local church."
So the soldiers took the casket to the picturesque tiny hilltop church for a hurried burial.
As we drank our tea, Miss
Brown told us, "The soldiers had begun to dig the grave, but hadn't
been able to complete the job before dark because the earth was too
hard. They left the coffin in the church overnight, SO they could finish
the grave the next day."
Thus the hardness of the
ground gave the group of believers at Mucwini the chance to gaze for the
last time on their martyred archbishop. By the flickering gleam of a
hurricane lamp, they saw the body of a purple-clad man. They noted there
were two gun wounds, one in his neck, where the bullet had apparently
gone into his mouth and out again, the other in his groin. Janani's
purple robe was stained with blood, his arms were badly skinned, his
rings had been stolen, and he was shoeless.
They were all gazing
quietly, reverently, at the body of a martyr, a man who was killed for
daring to stand up to the "black Hitler of Africa."
Even as the people gave
thanks for their beloved archbishop, just one of some 500,000 victims
under Amin, the government-controlled newspaper, Voice of Uganda,
published a call for President Amin to be made emperor and then
proclaimed him as "the Son of God."
Back in Kampala, we were
able to meet up with "God's Double Agent in the President's Office". Ben
Oluka, who was senior assistant secretary in the Department of
Religious Affairs in Amin's office, had used his influence to bring
about the saving of many Christian lives throughout Uganda.
But what Amin did not
realize was that Ben Oluka was not only doing what he could to assist
suffering believers, but was also pastoring an underground church in his
home. It was a small group from the Deliverance Church, an indigenous
Ugandan evangelical fellowship.

And that was the feeling of
millions of Ugandan believers, regardless of Amin's persecution. They
were willing to die for their faith.
At the end of the trip, I
knelt by my bed at the Namirembe Guest House and prayed, "Lord, these
Ugandan believers have had such an impact on me that I want to dedicate
my talents for the rest of my life to helping suffering believers around
the world who don't have a voice. Please help me to be a voice for
them."
I returned from Uganda a different person. The courage of the Ugandan Christians will live with me forever.
"After working on a story like this, how can I ever return to Fleet Street?" I shared with my wife Norma back home in England.
Now, I realize how his
persecution of his people and particularly the Christians there, had
changed my life forever. What Amin meant for evil, God has used for
good! And now that I have since moved with my family to Southern
California, I spend all my time writing about the Persecuted Christians

Vurugu Tunduma Baada ya DC Kukataza Kuchinja - Maoni
Received via Email:
Na Mdau Hildegarde Kiwasila
Watu Tanzania hula vibudu anyway wawe wakristu au waislamu. Tunaonaga kwenye TV na magazeti kuwa baadhi ya kuku wa kizungu au hata wa kienyeji hufa wanapokuwa wanasafirishwa nao huchinjwa na kuchanganywa na wale wazima. hata baadhi ya mifugo hufa haitupwi bali utumbo uliooza ndio hutupwa. Mizoga hiyo huuzwa kwa bei rahisi na ikaingia mahotelini tukajilamba kuku wa kukaanga, mbuzi etc na supu ya ndizi asubuhi. Wakati mwingine unaona nyama imebunda inanuka au kuku yupo pink babisa na harufu mpaka unamwita mtoa huduma na kumrudisha unaona hapana pink colour na harufu imezidi. Haya-hapa panan udini kweli?
Hawa watoa huduma wa kupika kwenye sherehe, mahoteli unafikiri vyote wapikavyo ni vipya halali hakuna haramu? kama ni vipya-haijatokea ukala ukaharisha? Hebu fika Shoprite na supermarket nyingine ukae nje unapunga upepo na kuangalia magari na mizifi Canter na Pickups. utaona ya Hoteli yamekuja kuchukua chakula kilicho expire kinakwenda kupikwa vyakula vya kisasa mahotelini. Kisa wanunue ghali wasipate profit. havitupwi hivyo vya supermarket si bongoland hata Ulaya. Na sote wakristu na waislamu tukiwa ulaya ughaibuni husubiri mpaka vime-expire muda wake vimeshuka bei sana badala ya $10 kuku kawa $ 1 au 0.50 ndio twanunua kwa wingi na anakaa miezi kadhaa january hadi June katika fridge lako chumbani na unamuangalia kuku daily kwa tabasamu la kuupiga chenga ukata na umasikini wa kukufanya utembelee wenzako kudowea kula. Unamla huyo hujui kachinjwaje na ame expire unamuongezea muda wa kuexpire.
Ukikuta kuku, nyama zilizopita muda wake, matunda etc wametupa nje ndani ya dustbin la supermarket mnawahi wazungu na waafrika kuzoa kabla mbwa hazijaja kupindua na kuziharibu. Ombaomba wa mitaani ndio wanazoa makuku na nyama hizo kichizi. Hata hapa TZ ukienda maeneo ya kutupa taka-utakuta wachakura takataka wanaokota nyamba zilizotupwa kule kutoka mazizi ya watu au machinjioni zinaokotwa na kuingia vilabuni zinapikwa subu. Nyanya zinaokotwa nan kuingia magengeni.
Ulaya-Wanyama wanachinja kwa kisu cha umeme kumpa shock mnyama kwanza akazirai kisha kumchinja. Twala wakristu na waislamu huko vyauzwa supermarket na tupo hai hadi leo. Na wengi wakimbiao vita vya Boko-haram na vita vinginevyo nchi za kiislamu (Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt etc) na nyinginezo zisizo vita wahamiaji hukimbilia zaidi huko Ulaya na USA kwenye mataifa ambayo ni ya Katiba za dini za kikristu-mbona hawaogopi kwenda huko kwenye nguruwe na madhehebu hayo ya kukaba wanyama?
Binadamu wote mahitaji yao mamoja-Uhuru, Upendo, Amani; kula kushiba, Starehe na haja. Usishangae kuona kuwa mmewa utoao unga wa kulevya (cocaine) unapandwa na kutumika na kuuzwa au kupatikana kwa waswalihina sana na wanalinda mashamba yake kwa mtutu na huku wanasali kwa Mungu wao kila muda unapofika; wanakosali sana au kusema hivyo kuna maovu kibao ambayo yatakupa maswali mengi-ubakaji, mauaji ya watu kwa kujilipua; killing for family honour; mtu wa dini kubaka na kulawiti vichanga au watoto; kunywa pombe kwa kificho; kubaka watu wazima au wasichana kimtandao na kuwazika; kuua watoto wako au mwenzi wako ili upate bima etc.
Dini ni kama OPIUM. Mbona maovu ni mengi tufanyao watu wa dini na wa kusali sana sasa huko kuchinja ndio kutuletee uzoba mpaka tuuane? Kuna lililojificha hapa litaonekana tu muda si mrefu!!

Hata hapa TZ ukienda maeneo ya kutupa taka-utakuta wachakura takataka wanaokota nyamba zilizotupwa kule kutoka mazizi ya watu au machinjioni zinaokotwa na kuingia vilabuni zinapikwa subu. Nyanya zinaokotwa nan kuingia magengeni.
Ulaya-Wanyama wanachinja kwa kisu cha umeme kumpa shock mnyama kwanza akazirai kisha kumchinja. Twala wakristu na waislamu huko vyauzwa supermarket na tupo hai hadi leo. Na wengi wakimbiao vita vya Boko-haram na vita vinginevyo nchi za kiislamu (Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt etc) na nyinginezo zisizo vita wahamiaji hukimbilia zaidi huko Ulaya na USA kwenye mataifa ambayo ni ya Katiba za dini za kikristu-mbona hawaogopi kwenda huko kwenye nguruwe na madhehebu hayo ya kukaba wanyama?
Binadamu wote mahitaji yao mamoja-Uhuru, Upendo, Amani; kula kushiba, Starehe na haja. Usishangae kuona kuwa mmewa utoao unga wa kulevya (cocaine) unapandwa na kutumika na kuuzwa au kupatikana kwa waswalihina sana na wanalinda mashamba yake kwa mtutu na huku wanasali kwa Mungu wao kila muda unapofika; wanakosali sana au kusema hivyo kuna maovu kibao ambayo yatakupa maswali mengi-ubakaji, mauaji ya watu kwa kujilipua; killing for family honour; mtu wa dini kubaka na kulawiti vichanga au watoto; kunywa pombe kwa kificho; kubaka watu wazima au wasichana kimtandao na kuwazika; kuua watoto wako au mwenzi wako ili upate bima etc.
Dini ni kama OPIUM. Mbona maovu ni mengi tufanyao watu wa dini na wa kusali sana sasa huko kuchinja ndio kutuletee uzoba mpaka tuuane? Kuna lililojificha hapa litaonekana tu muda si mrefu!!

Letter to Uncle - Part I
Nimepata kwa email:
Hallo Uncle,
Guess you are fine, so are we. Bongo iko poa tu na MSWAHILI is still at the helm though wengi wetu tusingependa hivyo!!! anatuharibia PROJECT yetu tuliyoianza miaka mingi huko nyuma, "KUWAFUKARISHA WATANGANYIKA". Analeta mpango wa kilimo cha matrekta wakati hili tulilisimamisha, watu wakiwa na uwezo wa maisha ni vigumu kuwafanya WARITADI. So the best option was to make them poorer and poorer.
Unakumbuka, japo ulikuwa mtoto mdogo, kauli mbiu inayosema "NCHI YETU MASIKINI" basi ni nchi ile ile ambayo sasa wanaharakati hawataki ichimbwe gesi, mafuta na urani, eti hatutaweza kuingia mikataba vizuri kama nchi!! Botswana wamewezaje? Na hawa ndiyo wasomi wa nchi hii!!!Kwa mtu asiefuatilia matukio ya kidunia, kikanda na ki-nchi, anaweza akadhani hawa jamaa wazalendo kweli kweli.
Sasa wanaogopa mabadiliko ya katiba, wanachotaka wao ni kubadili vipengele vinavyowasumbua kuleta serikali nyingine, lakin STATUS QUO yao ibaki pale pale. Ndiyo maana nakwambia tumerithishwa unafiki kuwa ni sehemu ya maisha yetu ya kila siku. MSWAHILI kaanzisha kampeni ya shule za sekondari za kata, imekuwa nongwa, watoto wengi masikini watapata fursa ya kuwa na upeo wa kujua mambo, anawaharibia PROJECT ile kuu.
Wanaharakati na wachambuzi wa masuala kadha wa kadha wa Bongo ni wa ajabu sana, akiuawa mtu ambae kwa hana maslahi yoyote hukaa kimya kama vile hakujatokea kitu, sasa ngoja auwawe mwenzao, kelele ni nyingi, maandamano kwa kwenda mbele, huu ni usomi wa aina gani uncle? Sheria ya ugaidi iliyopitishwa Bongo ilipigiwa kelele nyingi na wadau wenye luona mbali, lakini kwa vilke ilikuwa inawalenga watu fulani ambao kwa hakika watajijua wenyewe, ikapitishwa, Kenya ambako kuna wakristo wengi kuliko Bongo walisita baada ya kuona itawagawa kama nchi, hiyo ndiyo COMMON SENSE tuisemayo.
Nimeku-forwardia mail za siku nyingi kidogo kukukumbusha ya kwamba, "Many world events do not just happen, they are made to happen" kwa hiyo sio ajabu kuona kuwa Somalia kuna rabsha licha ya kuwa vita vilikuwa vimekwisha tayari lakini kwa kutumia jina la MAHAKAMA YA KIISLAM, wasomali walipoteza sifa ya kuwa na amani nchini mwao, ndivyo vivyo hivyo itawakumba wamisri na Muslim Brotherhood, halikadhalika Mali, Zanzibar, Tunisia na kwingineko dunia ya Kiislam. Kwa wanaojua, CRUSADE is with us now though it still finds pockets of resistance on a few Islamic individuals, when the Islamic Nation as a whole wakes up to this fact, things will never be the same again, albeit, the cat is out of the bag already!!
Huku Bongo Waislamu sio wanalalamika, wanawaambia wenzao wakristo kwamba mchezo wao ni mauti kwa wenzao, lakini mazoea yana taabu, wanadhana kuwa waislamu hawana akili, wamezaliwa hali wakiwa wapumbavu. Ustaarabu wa dunia ya Magharibi una deni kubwa sana kwa uislamu ( hii inategemea na historia gani Mbongo kasoma maana Bongo inaongoza Afrika kwa kutengeneza HALF-BAKED Intellectuals!!!) Sasa inaingia kichwani kuwa wale waliostaarabisha dunia leo hii tena ndiyo waje kuwa hawajui kitu!!
Hicho kisemwacho kuwa ni New World Order kinasumbuliwa na uislamu tu hadi sasa, jamaa wa itikadi hii wako busy kubomoa family values, mainstream society morals and ethics, traditions and God Worship etc., stumbling block ni Muslims and Islam, maana kama ni ushoga umeishakubalika, riba poa tu, kusagana poa, tena kwa baraka za makanisa, na watendaji wakuu wa makanisa ndiyo vinara wa kuonesha njia kwa vitendo!! elimu ya Evolution ndiyo hivyo tena, watu ni ma-Profesa wa fani hii, wanaharakati na wachambuzi wako busy wakijikaanga kwa mafuta yao wenyewe, eti tunasema zama za giza zimepita, mbona kwa sasa ndiyo GIZA TOTOLOOO!!
Bye Uncle, nisiseme mengi, jamaa hawakawii kutumia sindano kunyamazisha ukweli. Regard

Letter to Uncle - Part 2
Hallo Uncle,
Happy new year. MJOMBA has been of late making headlines by opening up roads, bridges and a whole lot of new projects that you would expect the wananchi in all their divergence to come up with nice words of encouragement, but alas me, we keep hearing the same old crap of SERIKALI DHAIFU!!!
In actual fact uncle, TANZANIANS were not supposed to live a life of luxury, this you can see thru common sense and by actions taken by NYERERE and his cohorts. Look at this: " Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer!" This literally means, "One People, One Empire, One Leader!" The German people were subjected to continual propaganda, under the control of Josef Goebbels. It was the Cult of personality - everything was organised to make Germans permanently grateful to Adolf Hitler.
So we come with our own "ZIDUMU FIKRA ZA MWENYEKITI" And we are able to see and hear how a multitude of Tanzanian politicians of every colour (party) sing the same song of praising someone whose decisions have to a large extent brought us to this quagmire we are now in. Take the case of Gas and Mtwara residents uprising, it is nothing but Nyerere's marginalisation of the people of Mtwara and other areas mostly populated by muslims.
But since this is a Nation of Hypocrites, the local media houses will not permit this to be the case, but to be free one has to face the truth, and truth is there for everyone to see. Kigoma region is flexing it's muscle with oil, and I dont know which other part of Tanzania with a large population of muslims will take to the streets, even though they will soon go for the Diocese of NECTA and Dr Ndalichako!! As I told you before, the cat is out of the bag, things will never be the same again.
The funniest thing of all is, ili kuendelee kuwepo na amani eti ni kwa Waislamu waendelee kukubali kudhulumiwa, day in, day out, that's hogwash at it's best. Inahitaji wazalendo wa kweli kurekebisha hali ya mambo ili Taifa lisonge mbele, lakini kwa mtindo huu wa kubadili maneno na kuwapa watu majina ya ndivyo sivyo, hamkani mambo si shwari. Thes are just my thoughts though, you can always correct me as am a human being like the rest.
BYE FOR NOW.

Maandamano Bongo Kupinga Filamu Inayodhalilisha Waislamu
Wadau,
hiyo sinema. "Innocence of Muslims' haikutengenezwa kwa idhini ya
serikali ya Marekani. Mtu yeyote Marekani anaweza kutengeneza sinema bila
idhini ya serkali. Na pia FBI wanasema kuwa mtengenezaji alitumia jina feki,
Sam Bacile ambaye katengeneza sinema kadhaa za ngono (Porn). Kwa sasa Nakoula Basselly Nakoula yuko rumande. Mnaweza kusoma habari za
kufungwa kwake HAPA.
![]() |
| Nakoula Basseley Nakoula aka Sam Bacile (mwenye kitambaa cheupe usoni) akipelekwa rumande usiku wa kuamkia leo |
Kutoka Blogu ya Wananchi:
WAISLAMU WAJAJUU TENA,SASA NI NCHI NZIMA
WAISLAMU nchini, wanatarajia kuandamana wiki ijayo kupinga filamu iliyotengenezwa nchini Marekani na kumdhalilishaji Mtume Muhammad. Hayo yamesemwa Dar es Salaam jana na Katibu wa Jumuiya na Taasisi za Kiislamu Tanzania, Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda, alipokuwa akizungumza na MTANZANIA kwa simu.
Kutokana na hali hiyo, Shehe Ponda amelitaka Jeshi la Polisi nchini, kutojihusisha kwa namna yoyote na harakati za kuzuia maandamano hayo.Sheikh ponda alisema kuwa, baada ya filamu hiyo ya Marekani kumdhalilisha Mtume Muhammad, waislamu hawawezi kukaa kimya na badala yake watalazimika kuandamana kupinga udhalilishaji huo.
“Maandamano hayo yatakuwa ni ya nchi nzima, lakini kwa sasa siwezi kusema yatafanyika siku gani kwa sababu tunafanya maandalizi ya kuyafanya wiki ijayo. Najua kwa kuyasema haya, kuna watu wengine watajitokeza kuyazuia, tunatoa wito kwao mapema waache kutuingilia katika mambo ambayo ni haki yetu na tuna uhuru wa kuyafanya. Jeshi la Polisi litambue wazi kwamba, sisi waislamu hatuna fujo, ni vema wakae pembeni kabisa waache tuandamane na kutoa tamko letu, vinginevyo ni kuanzisha machafuko. Leo nimewashangaa sana hawa polisi, wamefika mahali pa kulinda watu wanaofanya maovu, nimeshangazwa na kitendo cha kuweka ulinzi katika ofisi za makao makuu ya Baraza la Mitihani la Taifa (NECTA) na katika ofisi za Baraza Kuu la Waislamu Tanzania (BAKWATA). Tena katika ulinzi huo, polisi walikuwa na silaha, nashangaa sana, yaani mtu anayefanya makosa, badala ya kumkamata anaendelea kulindwa, hii haiwezekani,” alisema Shehe Ponda.
Alisema kwamba, filamu hiyo iliyotengenezwa na Wamarekani, inachochea uhasama na chuki baina ya wafuasi wa dini mbalimbali.
Kwa mujibu wa Shehe Ponda, filamu hiyo inadaiwa kutengenezwa na raia wa Israel mwenye uraia wa Marekani na kwamba imejenga mtazamo mbaya ndani ya jamii yote duniani.
Hata hivyo taarifa zilizoripotiwa na vyombo vya habari zimemtaja mtengenezaji wa filamu hiyo ya Innocence of Muslims ni Sam Bacile, ambaye aliitayarisha kwa idhini ya Serikali ya Marekani.
Taarifa hizo zimeeleza kwamba, mtengenezaji huyo amejificha kusikojulikana, ambapo Jumuiya ya Ushirikiano wa Nchi za Kiislamu (OIC) na Vatcan, zimelaani filamu hiyo inayomvunjia heshima Mtume Muhammad.

Kutoka NEW YORK DAILY NEWS:
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities say federal probation officers have interviewed a Southern California filmmaker linked to an anti-Islamic movie inflaming protests across the Middle East.
A Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman said early Saturday that 55-year-old Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was interviewed at the department's Los Cerritos station.
Deputy Don Walker says Nakoula was not arrested and traveled voluntarily in a squad car with deputies to the station, which is near his home.
Walker says he doesn't have information on the interview or how long it lasted.
TV station KC says Nakoula went to the station early Saturday morning.
Federal probation officials couldn't be reached early Saturday. Earlier they said they were investigating the activities of Nakoula, who has been convicted of financial crimes.

Christians Live in Cloud of Fear in Zanzibar, Tanzania
Young man flees family death threats on Muslim isle; another chooses jail over violent mob.
By Compass Direct News
NAIROBI, Kenya – On Tanzania’s semi-autonomous island of Zanzibar, Christians live in a climate of fear. It’s a place where a young man flees the island to escape death threats from his Muslim family, and a Christian who accidentally burned pages of the Quran opts for jail by entering a guilty plea rather than face certain death from a furious mob.
Yusuf Abdalla, 23, fled to Moshi, mainland Tanzania, after his family threatened to kill him in June. Having converted to Christianity in October 2010 after hearing the gospel on the radio, he was enrolled at a vocational school in Zanzibar city to learn tailoring when his family found out in March that he had left Islam.
The beating he then received from family members left him with injuries to his head, hand and torso, as well as a serious mouth wound and substantial loss of blood, said an area pastor who requested anonymity.
“The family then took back the tailoring machine which they had bought him,” the pastor said. “They also vowed not to support his training.”
As soon as he had recovered enough to leave, Abdalla found refuge on the premises of the pastor’s church before staying at his home on May 5. Within two months, reports had reached Abdalla’s family that he was staying at the pastor’s house, and on June 10 they threatened to kill him, the pastor said.
The church arranged for his escape to Moshi.
Another convert from Islam, Juma Suleiman of Chake-Chake on the neighboring island of Pemba, is also facing death threats. Suleiman became a Christian just two months ago when Tanzania Assemblies of God pastor Yohana Mfundo preached to him while he was in prison, Mfundo said.
Suleiman was released a little over two weeks ago, and family members have already threatened to kill him. He is now in hiding and plans to flee the island.
The Safety of Jail
In Kiembesamaki, near Zanzibar city’s airport, area pastors said 28-year-old Ramadhan Hunda Tuma earlier this year opted for jail by entering a plea of guilty to charges that he burned the Quran, rather than face an enraged mob calling for his death.
More than 50 Muslims had packed into the courtroom to hear the judge’s Feb. 21 ruling on Tuma, whose landlady had ordered him to burn his trash after evicting him because he had converted to Christianity; he was not aware that among the trash was a small copy of the Quran used by beginning students in madrassas (Islamic schools), area pastors said.
“Outside the courtroom, there was a mob baying for his blood in case he was set free,” said Pastor Leonard Massasa of the Evangelical Assemblies of God-Tanzania. “One lady from church overheard them say, ‘If he is going to be released, then we will kill him.’”
Tuma, member of a church of another denomination in Zanzibar city, accidentally burned part of the Quran.
“Due to the conditions prevailing then, Tuma pleaded guilty because he feared for his life,” said another pastor, who requested anonymity. “He chose to go to jail rather than to be released only to be killed.”
Arriving home from a Sunday church service, Tuma found the wealthy landlady furious to learn that he had converted to Christianity; she had thrown all his belongings out of the house. She ordered him to leave, the pastor said. Tuma burned the trash under the supervision of his landlady, who reported him to a sheikh in a nearby mosque. A raucous crowd of Muslims showed up to kill him before police arrived and took him to the police station, the pastor said.
The church is caring for Tuma’s young family – his wife, 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, the pastor added.
District Magistrate Khamis Ali Simai of Mwanakwerekwe, Zanzibar, sentenced Tuma to 18 months for “disrespecting a religious faith” and six months for “threatening public peace,” though both terms are to run simultaneously, according to International Quran News Agency (IQNA). Simai ruled that Tuma’s burning of the Quran on Nov. 16, 2010 angered the Muslim community, thereby jeopardizing public peace, according to IQNA.
The judge said the punishment was to serve as warning to other would-be offenders, IQNA reported.
Prosecutors led by Raya Issa Mselem said they were not satisfied with the ruling and intended to appeal for a harsher sentence; Mselem said a stiffer penalty would better deter others who would be tempted to commit similar offenses, according to IQNA.
Tuma, who represented himself and was put under tight police protection, pleaded for leniency on grounds that he was the sole breadwinner for his family and that he was suffering from a stomach ailment.
In Pemba, it has become extremely risky for churches to have their documents typed or printed in cybercafés, sources said, as shop personnel are saving copies that they take to Muslim sheikhs in order to disclose Christian activities.
Their findings are announced in mosques, the pastors said.
“They have announced in their mosques that no Muslim should sell land to infidels,” said pastor Yohana Makulanya of the Seventh-day Adventist church.
The Muslim majority oppresses religious minorities in more subtle ways. Schools teach only Islamic studies, not Christianity, and any student stating that Jesus is Lord will not receive a grade, the pastors said.
“Sometimes our children are forced to change their Christian names to Muslim names so as to be considered for employment,” said the Rev. Apolinali Mapendo Musaki, a Catholic priest.
At times churches are deprived of piped water.
“Here in Wete, we rely on rainwater – no piped water is supplied to us,” said the Rev. Stephen Kamwendo of the Anglican Church.
The church leaders said many Christians have been forcefully converted to Islam, including four from the Catholic Church and six from the Seventh-day Adventist church.
