The
country of Tanzania is among many nations which has no religious leadership.
Because of having more than one religion then the government decided to have
not o base on any religion. Tanzania Muslims, Christians, Shia, hindu and other religions without forgetting there
are others who has no religious at all.
There has been some torturing of religious leaders
especially in Zanzibar whereby within the year of 2012 where by religious
leaders of both Muslim and Christian faith were tortured by unidentified
people.
During the month of November 2012 a religious leader from
Muslim sheikh Fadhil Suleiman Soraga was tortured by chemicals (acid) by what
was reported that the event was done by unknown people but it directly
associated by the issues of religion revenge.
Again on the Christmas day in the last year 2013 a Roman Catholic
Priest Father Ambrose Mkenda was tortured. He was also tortured by the
unidentified people during that day though police is trying to find out.
Long time ago the spiritual leaders were respected and
sometimes people were scared doing bad things to them but a thing has come to
vice verse.
With these events now every side of the faith both
Muslims and Christians are in stress because some signs of enemity are seen.
For example Christians were scared during the days of Christimas.
Tanzania Christians Forum gave a request to the Tanzania
Government that it has to take very urgent and serious actions to all those
groups going against Tanzanian’s National Laws because they lead to the absence
of peace and security.
The Chairperson for Tanzania Christian Forum (TCF) Bishop Dr. Peter Kikula through Mtanzania
Newspaper said the relationship between Christians and Muslims has started dawdling and so he wanted to have ana established
organ which will be not from any religion to void bias because some people have
been saying the government is being led by Christians a thing which fallacy.
Bishop Dr. Kitula went on saying religious leaders have
to be teaching their people on peace maintain and preaching facts, which I
think is the best thing.
Some countries where peace is no longer existing they real cry for peace that is why political
leaders from both Tanzania Mainland and Tanzania Island keep on insisting that
people should respect each other and following the national Laws.
But here comes a question again on who is behind the
issues of torturing religion leaders because it is the issue which has happened
more than one time. The tortured by gun on neck Priest Ambrose Mkenda while in
hospital Muhimbili National Hospital on December 30 2012 said there are some
signs which show there is a group of people who are using some unemployed
street guys to fight against church leaders and other people who work for
pushing forward national development. He said he has been doing his spiritual
works since 1995 but no any events like that have ever happened.
Though it has yet been
proved these people doing are from which religion domain but the government
through the police it has to take serious actions and procedures to know who
are these people doing it, because if the issue will be just left without
serious actions, in the future days it won’t be easy to solve or stop it.
It is better both religion meet and discuss in deep about
this while chaired with a non religious person or a preventative from the
government and then an organ should be made work on solving religious issues
which will be out of any bias.
Since the Government of Tanzania does not have any
religion side in its leadership then no sign should be shown in its activities
basing on favoring a certain religion
because it will keep on bringing confusions. One side of the religion will
experience as being treated unfairly.
