Kibo,Kuna watu watakuja kusema ndugu zao wanaonewa kisa dini
Huko kuonewa kwa ajili ya dini si tatizo geni Tanzania wala hakuna Muislam atakaeshangazwa na hili.
Hamza Njozi aliandika haya katika kitabu chake, ''Mwembechai Killings..:''
''This book is about one old skeleton in our national cabinet; the burden of religious discrimination which we have always carried in our hearts but which we have carefully managed to conceal to the rest of the world. President Reagan of the United States once boasted about the global reach of his country by saying: You can run but you cannot hide. But as far as our religious skeleton is concerned, we have managed to fool even the arrogantly boastful America. All the official reports published by the US Department of State from 1994 to 1999 have failed to detect religious discrimination in Tanzania. The focus of this book is on the discrimination which Muslims suffer in their country. This does not mean that no one has suffered in Tanzania except the Muslims. To be sure, in their numerous writings, Issa G. Shivji and Chris Peter Maina have unearthed several sickening skeletons as far as our general record in respecting human rights is concerned. But it is the suffering of Muslims in Tanzania which has rarely been acknowledged even in our own country. Who can imagine, for example, that President Mkapa’s speech quoted above was delivered nine months after his government had ordered policemen to shoot and kill Muslims at Mwembechai? This book is offered as a modest attempt to understand the intricate weave of social and political factors which threaten our national unity.''
