Nyerere Against Islam in Zanzibar and Tanganyika

KAPONGO said:

Mkuu kejeli km hizo zisikukatishe tamaa kwani kujitambua kwetu na kukataa kwetu kuendelea kudunishwa, kupuuzwa na kudharirishwa ni pigo kwao waliozoea kubebwa. Hivi sasa hakuna mwenye akili asiyefahamu kuwa manamba wa mashamba ya mkonge ya Tanga ndio walioandaliwa na nyerere, kuvamia zanzibar, kufanya mauaji ya kimbari na kisha kupindua dola.Kisa kudhibiti kuenea kwa uislam afrika mashariki na kukuza ustawi wa ukristo hususan wa kikatoliki.

Ahsante ndugu yangu.

Insha Allah nitaendelea na darsa hizi kadri Allah atakavyoniwezesha.

Kuna baadhi wanasema wanafaidika sana na darsa hizi ila kinachowakera
ni ''udini.''

Nimealikwa Nortwestern University kuzungumza na katika wasikizaji na wauliza maswali alikuwa Prof. Jonathon Glassman.

Haikuishia hapo.

Mwaka jana Abdulwahid Sykes akapewa medali kama mpigania uhuru wa Tanganyika
baada ya kusahaulika kwa miaka 50.

Kitabu kimechangia sana katika kumtambua kuwa yeye ndiye chimbuko la TANU.

Bado.
Kitabu kinakwenda toleo la tatu Insha Allah.

Sasa mjinga nani?
Mimi mwandishi au wasomaji wangu?

Aaaha! kumbe Kikwete alimtunuku Abdulwahid Sykes baada ya kusoma kitabu chako? Nafumbuliwa macho polepole.

Mohamed Said,
Nimekuuliza maswali unajitahidi sana kuyakwepa hata hivyo nitaendelea kuuliza tu na umma utaamua

Dec 10 1963 wakati Zanzibar ikipata Uhuru kiongozi wa chama cha Umma Party, marhum Abdurahaman Babu alisema maneno yafuatayo “Salaam kwa Wazanzibari na wapenda haki wote. Umma Party na Wazanzibari kwa ujumla, wanasubiri kunyakua utawala wa nchi na kuuweka mikononi mwao saa itakapowadia''

1. Je, Abdurahaman alikusudia nini? na ni kweli au si kweli aliyasema maneno hayo?

2. Kwa vile umesema Mapinduzi ni pandikizi la Mwalimu Nyerere lililoanzia Kipumbwi hadi siku ''makomredi walipoingia na kumkuta mwali keshaenda kwa bwana'' na kwa ukweli kuwa takriban miaka 48 Zanzibar imekuwa inasherehekea mapinduzi kama itakavyokuwa jumamosi ya Jan 12 2013

a) Ungepata nafasi ya kuongea na WZNZ ungewaambia nini kuhusu siku hiyo kwa upande wa historia uijauayo?
b) Je kuna ulazima wa kuwa na siku hiyo.

3. Kwa vile mapinduzi ni pandikizi la Nyerere na ukristo dhidi ya Uislam visiwani, viongozi wanaojinasibu kama wana mapinduzi unawaweka katika nafasi ipi ya uzalendo katika Zanzibar

Mohamed Said said:

Swali la kwanza lingestahili kujibiwa na Babu mwenyewe. Mimi sijui kusudio lake labda nikisie tu.
Swali la pili. Sijatumia neno pandikizi wala Nyerere. Nilichosema ni kuwa makomredi hawakupindua
waliingia kazini siku ya pili.
a) Sina la kuwaambia
b) Huo ni uamuzi wa Wazanzibari wenyewe

Swali la tatu la uzalendo hilo ni swali lijibiwe na Wazanzibari wenyewe

Mzee Said, kwa vile huna majibu na umeamua kwaachia Wazanzibar wayajibu hii maana yake ni kuwa huwezi kutetea unachokisema.

Umeshindwa kutetea unachokisema pengine kwa kutaka kuficha ukweli ukitaka unachosema kionekane ni kweli.
Kama hujui mambo ya ZNZ unapata wapi ushahidi wa kumshambulia Nyerere kuwa kinara na mapinduzi hali ikikan kuwa hayakufanywa na WZNZ?

Nimekuuliza akina Mwinyi, Jumbe, Nasor Moyo na wengine wapo, je ni vibaraka huna jibu.
Nimekuuliza endapo WZN wanapaswa kuyakana mapinduzi, huna jibu.
Sasa kwanini umshambulie Nyerere kwa kusema alipeleka wamakonde kufanya mauaji?

Kinachokuponza Mzee saidi ni kutoa maandiko yenye kulenga kujenga chuki huku ukijua kuwa ima si ukweli au unapindisha ukweli.

Katika Uislam kuna aya ya mwenyezi mungu inayozungumzia juu ya unafiki na manafiki.
Epusha ndimi na kalam yako isije kuwa ni tatizo siku zijazo.

Ahmed Rajab ambaye ana unasaba na Waarab unaosema wameuawa amekana kama walivyokana wanazuoni wengine.
Kuaminisha umma kuhusu ubaya wa Nyerere huku ukishindwa kutamka neno kwa Karume, Mwinyi, Jumbe, Moyo na wanamapinduzi wengine ni double standard ya hali ya juu sana.

Unafahamu kuwa kuwanasabisha na Nyerere utakuwa umekosa lengo lako la kumshambulia Nyerere na ukristo.
Unafahamu namna gani utakavyowaudhi WZN pale utakaposema mapinduzi si halali.
Umebaki kujificha katika maneno ambayo hayalingani na hadhi ya kile unachojisifia nacho.

Hivi Mzee Said, kwani ukiandika historia bila kutumbukiza mbegu za chuki dhidi ya dini nyingine na hasa Nyerere historia hiyo haikamiliki?

Unaposema vitabu vyako havijaweza kuwa challenged wakati huo huo huwezi kutetea hoja zake huoni unajichanganya.
Ushauri wangu, hakuna kitu kibaya kiroho na kimaadili kuongelea jambo usiloweza kulitetea, kulisimamia na kulihakiki.

Una haki ya kusema ulipendalo sina uwezo wa kukuzuia.

Sipo katika mashindano ya kutaka hoja zangu ndiyo zishinde.
Siku zote mimi msimamo wango ni kulisema lile ambalo ninalolijua.

Ndiyo, nililoona ni la Kikwete kwa sababu yeye ni rais Muislamu katika mfumo Kristo. Kwa hiyo baada ya kusoma kitabu
chako akatambua kuwa mchango wa Abdul Sykes haujatambuliwa ipasavyo, kwa sababu ya Uislamu wake, akarekebisha kosa hilo. Pia ametambua kuwa mahakama zetu zimejaa mahakimu na majaji Wakristo, akachapuka kuteua mahakimu Waislamu ambao hata elimu yao haikidhi, re: Tundu Lissu na Mahakama zetu. Ndiyo maana nimesema nimefunguliwa macho.

Uthibitisho wa Njama Dhidi ya Uislam

Hivi sasa kuna vitabu viwili vilivyoandikwa na Wakristo wenyewe vinavyothibitisha kuwa Wakristo wametumia nyadhifa zao katika serikali kuuhujumu Uislam na Waislam.

Jan P van Bergen katika kitabu chake, ''Development and Religion in Tanzania,'' (1981) [1] ametoboa siri kuhusu uadui aliokuwa nao Rais Mstaafu, Nyerere dhidi ya Uislam na Waislam.

Kitabu kinaeleza kwa ufasaha jinsi Nyerere wakati alipokuwa madarakani alivyokuwa akifanya mikutano ya siri na viongozi wa Kanisa kuweka mikakati ya kuupa nguvu Ukristo.

Katika mikutano hiyo Nyerere aliwahakikishia viongozi wa Kanisa kuwa anaaunga mkono Ukristo. Kitabu hicho kinaeleza jinsi Nyerere alivyotimiza ahadi yake hiyo kwa Kanisa kwa kuhakikisha kuwa anawapa Wakristo nafasi za juu katika serikali na chama.

Kitabu hiki kilikuwa kinauzwa Catholic Bookshop, Dar es Salaam. Lakini ilipokuja kudhihirikia Kanisa kuwa kitabu hiki kilikuwa kinatoa habari nyeti na siri za Kanisa kuhusu njama dhidi ya Waislam, kwa haraka sana kikaacha kuuzwa. [1]

Hadi hivi sasa kitabu hicho ni marufuku kuletwa tena Tanzania. Kitabu cha pili ni cha Dr John C. Sivalon, ''Kanisa Katoliki na Siasa ya Tanzania Bara 1953 Hadi 1985'' (1992). [1]

Kitabu hiki kinaeleza njama ndani ya serikali kuuhujumu Uislam. Sivalon anafichua kuwa kuanzia mwaka 1961 baada ya Tanganyika kupata uhuru, Kanisa lilikuwa na hofu mbili. Hofu ya kwanza ilikuwa umoja wa madhehebu za Kiislam kati ya Sunni, Bohora, Ismailia na Ithnasheri. Hofu ya pili ilikuwa kuhamishwa kwa makao makuu ya EAMWS kutoka Mombasa kuja Dar es Salaam.

Kanisa lilikuwa linahofu kuwa mali walizokuwanazo Waasia Waislam zikitiwa katika harakati za Waislam ambao walikuwa na nguvu kubwa katika uwanja wa siasa zitaathiri maslahi ya Ukristo katika Afrika ya Mashariki. Kwa ajili hii Kanisa likatanganza kuwa Uislam ni adui wake na ikaanza mikakati ya hujma dhidi ya Uislam ili kuudhoofisha. [1]

Kuna kazi mbili zilizoandikwa na Waislam kuhusu uhusiano baina ya serikali na Waislam. Kazi ya kwanza ni tasnifu ya Kiwanuka, ''The Politics of Islam in Bukoba District'' (1973); [1] kazi ya pili ni makala ya utafiti ''Islam and Politics in Tanzania'' (1989) [1] iliyoandikwana mwandishi wa kitabu hiki.

Ilikuwa baada ya kusoma tasnifu ya Kiwanuka na kuona jinsi ukweli wa kuvunjwa kwa EAMWS kulivyopoteshwa ndipo kama Muislam na kama ada ya Uislam inavyodai kuwa pande mbili za mgogoro zote lazima zisikilizwe, ndipo nilipoamua kufanya utafiti na kuandika tatizo lile kwa mtazamo wa Waislam.

Ukweli ambao kwa miongo miwili ulizuiwa usifahamike kwa Waislam.

Pengine zetu hazikuwepo! Au we waonaje? Lakini kwani nyerere si alitaifisha kila kitu ikiwa kama ni sera yake, au alitaifisha skuli za makanisa tu? Haya tuganye ameraifisha skuli za kanisa tu, lakini je, aliziendeleza ama aliziua? Ata saivi kwenye shule za kiislamu wanasoma wakiristo, au si kweli?

Muslims are now organising nationwide mass rallies which openly and in live broadcasts denounce the church, criticise the government and church agents within the ruling party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and the Parliament for oppressing Muslims.

Seemingly derogatory words like "pandikizi" (singular) and "mapandikizi" (plural) meaning "turncoats;" or the new coined word "Mfumo Kristo" roughly meaning "Christian dominance" are now part of the Muslim and Swahili vocabulary. These analogies are used freely in the Muslim media and among Muslims in every day conversation.

But what usually thrills Muslims and utterly significant showing that times have changed is when in the rallies and in normal discussion Muslims refer to Nyerere hitherto known respectfully as "Baba wa Taifa" as "Baba wa Kanisa," meaning "Church Elder."[1]

The move by the Catholic Church to make him a saint has not helped matters. More so it proves all the allegations levelled against Nyerere that he never was a nationalist but a Catholic zealot.

[1]The late Prof. Haroub Othman after reading Sheikh Ali Muhsin's book Conflict and Harmony in Zanzibar and the writer's book The Life and Times of Abdulwahid Sykes 1924 -1968 The Untold Story of the Muslim Struggle Against British Colonialism in Tanganyika, Minerva Press, London 1998 and having come across hitherto unknown information on Nyerere was devastated because he was a great admirer of Nyerere as a patriot and a nationalist. The two books had painted him differently. Prof. Haroub confronted Nyerere and told him that the allegations in those two works have tarnished his image and he advised him to respond to them. Nyerere never did. Christian lecturers at Dar es Salaam University are discouraging students from making references to those two books. Dr. Harith Ghassany's book Kwaheri Ukoloni Kwaheri Uhuru, has also come up with more information on Nyerere hitherto unknown in the Zanzibar Revolution and the bloodbath which followed.

The new generation of Muslims no longer believe in the official history of TANU and the propaganda that it was Nyerere who single handed defeated the British.

Muslims instead are honouring the forgotten heroes of independence movement and in so doing invoking emotions particularly in the new generation to stand up against oppression as their forefathers had done against Germans and the British.

Muslim heroes of the Maji Maji War like Suleiman Mamba, Ali Songea Mbano,[1] and Muslim nationalists like Abdulwahid [2] and Ally Sykes,[3] Dossa Aziz, Sheikh Hassan bin Amir,[4] Sheikh Suleiman Takadir, Sheikh Yusuf Badi, Bibi Titi Mohamed,[5] Bibi Tatu bint Mzee, Bilali Rehani Waikela,[6] Ali Migeyo[7] and others are now part of nationalist history which was suppressed for many years.[8]

Bado unaendeleza umbumbumbu wako kuhusu mwalimu na uchonganishi wa waislam na wakristu

Hebu tusaide nani anahujumu wasomali na uislam wa wasomali? kama tanzania walihujumiwa na nyerere huko somalia anawahujum nani? na mfumo gani umewafikisha hapo walipo hivi sasa.

Mohamed Said said:

The new generation of Muslims no longer believe in the official history of TANU and the propaganda that it was Nyerere who single handed defeated the British.

Muslims instead are honouring the forgotten heroes of independence movement and in so doing invoking emotions particularly in the new generation to stand up against oppression as their forefathers had done against Germans and the British.

Muslim heroes of the Maji Maji War like Suleiman Mamba, Ali Songea Mbano,[1] and Muslim nationalists like Abdulwahid [2] and Ally Sykes,[3] Dossa Aziz, Sheikh Hassan bin Amir,[4] Sheikh Suleiman Takadir, Sheikh Yusuf Badi, Bibi Titi Mohamed,[5] Bibi Tatu bint Mzee, Bilali Rehani Waikela,[6] Ali Migeyo[7] and others are now part of nationalist history which was suppressed for many years.[8]
