(VIDEO) Zanzibar: Muslim Persecution Of Christians

Zanzibar's mosques are fuller on Fridays, more women are wearing head scarves and more Muslim men are showing calluses created by frequently touching their foreheads to the ground in prayer. A growing number of Zanzibaris are turning toward a stricter form of Islam and possibly away from democracy ahead of this fall's elections, expected to be a volatile affair.

Multiparty politics 'has brought nothing but tragedy,' said Abdallah Mohammed Suleiman, 42, who sells imported clothes. The best solution (is) to uphold our religious values, that is Islamic values, or revert to single party rule.

'After all, Islam is the sole unifying factor in Zanzibar.'






My Opinion

Fundamentalist clerics see an opportunity, offering Islamic law as an alternative to democracy, arguing that would bring discipline and moral values to political leadership.

It is important to note that not only Jews and Israelis are threatened by Radical Islam, every other culture and religion is under threat too and this should be acknowledged too...
