NIMEITOA KUTOKA THESIS: TANZANIAN CHRISTIANS PERCEPTION OF MUSLIMS IN THE CONTEXT OF NATION'S CHRISTIAN - MUSLIMS RELATIONS BY JONATHAN JOUNG SUN LEE 2019 Among the authors, I found Mohamed Said extremely useful to this study. Said acted as a representative of the radical Muslims as a member of the Muslim Writers’ Workshop. Born in 1952 in Dar es Salaam, he has been able to eye-witness and participate in the development of the radical Muslim movement. His grandfather Salum Abdallah Popo was the founder of the trade union movement and was among the pioneers to establish opposition to colonial rule. After independence, Salum Abdallah broke his relationship with Nyerere and was detained by the government for his position that trade unions should be free. As chairman of the Tanganyika Railways African Union (TRAU), he opposed to the government’s policy to place trade unions under TANU (Said 2018). Said is actively involved in writing and lecturing in Tanzania as well as overseas. Several of his books and articles have been published in London and Berlin. Among them, The Life and Times of Abdulwahid Sykes (1924– 1968): The Untold Story of the Muslim Struggle against British Colonialism in Tanganyika (1989), which was published in London, is the work that puts Muslims at the center of nation building of Tanzania (Masebo 2014:24). Said’s writings are more informative to this study than other literature in terms of providing the raw voices of radical Muslims over the Christian-Muslim relations as well as the Muslim struggle against the government in the history of Tanzania.
