You are at it again Maalim , Sheikh Mohammed Said.
Uongo unaporudiwa rudiwa hata facts zinapindishwa kwa ajili ya kuutukuza udini.
Udini ni ugonjwa unaojitokeza kama imani.
Ugonjwa wa udini ukimpata mtu hata yeye kujitambua inakuwa shida.Na huu ndio ugonjwa unaomsumbua mwenzetu huyu Mohammed Said.
Katika nchi yenye makabila mengi , imani tofauti na vile vile rangi tofauti ni ukosefu wa upeo wa yajayo kujikita katika utetezi wa udini, kwa luelemea dini moja.
Now lets get back to what has been said by our writer MS
1.Islam and ignorance, the two paradigms are mutually incompatible. To be a Muslim the prerequisite is to be knowledgeable.
How true!!
But what is the reality?
The writer goes back to blame the Church and government for his own under achievement.
It is not a secret that up to now as we speak,wherever you find a church , a school will be in the vicinity, but look at our mosques, it is as if madrassa schooling is incompatible with modern formal education.
If Islam was in East Africa well befaore the 16 th Century where are the formal Islamic school schools that one can brag about?
We should not shy away from the realisation that there was a serious lack of vision by our Arabic visitors and their Islamic converts, and even when the European colonisers came to Africa, they RESENTED formal education, much to their own undoing.
Uislamu nchini umerealise kuwa elimu ya kikoloni ni mali wakati jua limeshakuchwa na uhuru upo mkononi.
Kasumba ya kutothamini elimu hata leo ipo sehemu tofauti nchini palipo na imani kali. Kuoza na kuozwa baada tu ya kumaliza mafunzo ya madrassa hutawala badala ya juhudi kubwa ya ushindani wa kupata elimu ya darasani.
Sasa wenzetu hawa wanarudi nyuma kuulaumu ukristo na serikali kwa wao wenyewe kuchelewa kuchangamkia elimu kwa karne nyingi tu.
The question that the colonial govt and christianity thwarted the efforts of muslims to study higher education leaves much to desire and is complitely false. One wonders why the muslims did not send students to Arabic countries for that matter, through their mosques to circumvent these restrictions?
Lets face it, the interest for formal education in many Islamic communities was not there in the first place.
2. d. In mid 1990s Darul Iman from Saudi Arabia was refused permission by the government to build a technical secondary school in the Coast Region, Mainland.
Maalim Mohammed Said, usipoteze muda kuandika untruths about your own under achievements na machafuko mengi tu katika organisations zenu za Kiislamu.
Pale Chang'ombe (opposite Chan'ombe Pr School)kuna Chuo ambacho kingekuwa kwa taaluma ya kuwajenga waislamu,kimejengwa nafikiri 1968 kwa msaada kutoka serikali ya Misri.
Mpaka leo it is a white elephant, na wajanja miongoni mwenu sasa wanauza eneo hilo kwa wahindi. Unauza sehemu ambayo ingewafaa waislamu wenzio halafu lawama kwa watu wengine.
Jichunguzeni kwanza , you guys are totaly unamanagable within and between yourselves, that is a fact.
3. Dr. Hamza Njozi's has further evidence:
…Arabia (May, 1985) wrote under the heading "A Closed Door to the Corridors of Power": ‘The majority of pupils in Tanzanian primary schools are Muslim (80 percent), a percentage which dwindles to 15-20 percent in secondary schools, sinking to a mere five percent at University level'. Almost fifteen years later, on 2 February, 1999 the Member of Parliament for Kigamboni Hon. Kitwana Kondo told the parliament that out of every 100 students who sat for the standard seven examination in Dar es Salaam in the year 1998, 71 were Muslim and 29 Christian. But out of every 100 students selected to join government secondary schools only 21 were Muslim while 79 were Christian. The MP wanted to know whether Muslim children were inherently dull (An-Nuur, February 5-11, 1999).
Now this may be characterised as a writing from a learned person but complitely lacking in logical objectivity and falsified facts. What a shame for a person masquerading as a PhD holder.
When you propound that 80% of ALL primary school goers IN TANZANIA ARE MUSLIMS and put it as a fact, then I am sorry only fools will believe this!
And bigger fools have the audacity of putting it on paper!!
Like I said, I am sorry, but my intellect does not allow me to stomach this and I have no further comment on this. With a wrong opening assumption one ends up with an equally wrong conclusion.
Njozi's claims will remain to be dreams, as a credit to his name sake, unless he and many others of his ilk, work on actively to build more primary and secondary school in their home steads.
Kitwana Kondo(KK wa Dar), is your wrong bench mark my dear Mohammed Said. Those who know this gentleman will attest to the fact that he is a murky character, often operating in shadowy circumstances both in politics and in life.
We will be more that happy Mr Mohammed Said if you will give us KK's shadowy life history. Remember his case with Martha Wejja? well it is said that the Judge in that case died in mysterious circumstances at Muhimbili.
As for the secondary school statistics statistics presented, it does not take very rocket science to figure out the obscure logic behind KK's assertations.
If his statistics are based on students from Chamazi or Mbagala Rangi Tatu Primary school and comparing it with St Josephs Pr School the one has to doubt ones level of intellectual representation in the Bunge.
Mohammed Said you can place all the blame on the Church and the government for the under achievement and under development in all muslim areas, but if at all that is the best you can do then you are probably lost and will rot in a religious jail of your own making.
A religious jail ffrom which a nobody will help you out
