They say ,they will be many in years to come, but not that will enter heaven! What a confused group! You use the the Bible in your argument but when the Bible says Jesus is son of God you say the Bible is fake!

In first place,Muslims must thank the so-called achair (BAKILI MULUZI) for opening the gates for you.It has become a concerted strategy for most of the Christian world to reject Muslim asylum seekers due to their violent religious beliefs.If Islam was the first religion in Malawi,why then Christianity is overwhelmingly dominating the country especially in the North.Muslims must obey government’s laws,we are not going to be intimidated by these terrorists and they should bear in mind that Christianity is supreme in Southern Africa and no force will bring us down.Islam is not a religion,but rather a terrorist cult which has destroyed… Read more »

This article is not accurate, and those commenting to it do not understand what a hijab is. It is a veil covering the hair only, leaving the whole face fully visible. There is no problem in identifying a lady wearing a hijab. Perhaps the fuss described in the article is to do with the burka or niqab. From Wikipedia: “The burqa (also spelled burka) is a garment that covers the entire body, including the face. “The niqab is a term which is often incorrectly used interchangeably with burqa. It properly refers to a garment that covers a woman’s upper body… Read more »

I have not read anywhere about Road Traffic having problems with other women when processing licences, meaning the Department is comfortable as far as security is concerned

Amazing to note ignorant comments here.
1. The department of road traffic’s refulations do not prohibit the wearing of the hijab for one to access service. IT IS SOME OVERZEALOUS OFFICERS who are either ignorant or arrogant that refuse to offer services because one is wearing a hijab.
2. Apart from the freedom of religion that Malawi constitution enshrines, we also enjoy freedom of dressing such that these women are free to put on a hijab, and no moron should dictate when they can remove it or wear it.

I beg to be schooled on a few things; 1. Does our clothing ie Hijabs, Dzikolofiya and sporting Dreadlocks etc justify our holiness?? Dzikolofiya & Hijabs are Arabic traditional clothing that suits their weather and in Malawi we take it as Religious fashon!!! 2. Could it be wrong to take 1 photographs in Hijab another without a Hijab place both on all statutory ID’s as may be required? This could prevent these ladies rom uncovering this ‘Wind cover’ each time their identification has to be auntheticated. They may be compelled to remove the Hijab if the law demands so. 3.… Read more »

Do these people understand the term Identity? How can one be identified with the face covered? People are identified by their faces not just eyes. Masistere mukuwanenawo sabisa nkhope. Amangovala duku nkhope n’kumaoneka. Anthu akuba amabisa nkhope n’kumangoonetsa maso okha kuti asadziwike which one cannot identify. More fire Road Traffic. Ngati safuna don’t give them IDs. Malawi is not an Islamic state. Akafuna zawozo apite ku Arabia kwawoko!

We are talking about security here. What kind of an ID (Identification) is it that hides some of the persons features? Just remove the hijab, get photographed (and lady staff can do this) and put the hijab back on. No fuss.

What’s to stop one committing a crime while wearing a hijab and subsequently remove it in order to frustrate investigators?
