The Deputy Secretary General of the Civic United Front Party (CUF) Hon. Ismail Jussa, recently when he was interviewed by Mlimani TV as to why CUF has lost election in Zanzibar, at Uzini , he boldily, said because, there are many Christians who voted against the CUF party.
This statement was made recently, following the by-election result at Uzini constituency where the ruling party CCM won the seat.
The statement of Jussa has never been denied by any top leaders of CUF so far.
The statement of Hon. Ismail Jussa , revealed the hostility of some goverment leaders against Christians community and Christianity.
Basically, in Tanzania, whoever contests for any public post in election, the issue of his/her religion, status, area of origin, do not matters because Tanzania is a secular state with diversity of beliefs though Christians and Muslims form a large groups of adherents, and the constitution garantees freedom of worship.
Tanzanians also, enjoy constitutional freedom to join any political party. Therefore, the statement made by Ismail Jussa against Christians, has no any other meaning, but to send a special message to Christians who are leaders and members of CUF, that, they have ,mistakably, joined the party which is not in line with their ideology , creed and goals of its formation, and, therefore, have caused damage to the party, because they are not Muslims who could vote, bearing in mind the core goals of CUF to embrace religiosity movements under the umbrella of political party.
THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!
The winner Hon. Raza is a Muslim too.He was elected by both Muslims and Christians at Uzini.
What is not understood so far, is how Ismail Jussa differentiates the Islamic of Raza against that of CUF but also, how a minority christians community in Zanzibar, let alone the christians at Uzini constituency, can affect the result of election!
THIS IS NOTHING ELSE BUT A SIN OF DISCRIMINATION AND A POISON OF RELIGIOSITY!.
CHADEMA whose contestant is also a Muslim, became the second and CUF the third
Tanzania is now experiencing the wind of religiosity than never before ,following fundamentalists Muslims who struggle at their top effort and try to use any thing at their disposal to make sure at the end Tanzania must fall in the hands of Islamic realm. God forbids!
For along time CUF has been defined as a religious party ,although its leaders oppose without succeed, but what one of its top leaders has ,recently, revealed, support the allegation to be true.
We therefore, argue other Tanzanians with good will to take heed and if posible stay away from such political parties , because at the end of the day we can found ourselves in religiosity crisis hence cause political instability.
We warn other leaders with similar thoughts and goals to practise religiosity in their political parties to come on power, that their goals shall never succeed, because Tanzanians both religious and non-religious alike, are now aware of the secrete agenda of some Muslims to Islamitize Tanzania.
Such statements like this of the Hon. Ismail Jussa, fuels the discrimation of people of the Isles against of those of the Main land both religiously and politically.
