Islam is ‘religion of peace’ no place for violence in Malawi — Jakhura
The chairperson of Limbe Muslim Jamaat Abdul Gaffar Jakhura has said the peace and stability in the country could only be susta8ned by strictly adhering to Islamic ideology is ensuring peaceful campaign and voting process.
During prayers at Mpingwe Sports Club in Limbe, Blantyre, to celebrate the end of Ramadan with the Eid-ul-Fitr festival on Friday, Jakhula said that Islam was the religion of peace and love which could be ensured in the country by strictly following the teaching of Holy Quran and Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) in a true spirit.
Jakhura prayed for a non-violent and impartial next year’s Tripartite Elections, “for the good of the nation.”
Said Jakhura: “Islam is a religion of peace and as we prepare for the forthcoming elections, as Muslims, we urge the leaders [political] and prospective voters to exercise peace throughout the electoral process.
“Co-existence must at all times prevail while we pray that everyone looks at the need for next year’s elections to be peaceful, fair and credible for the progress of our nation.”
He said Islam was the religion which could lead humanity towards lasting achievement of peace and harmony.
But a critic argue that Islam is not peaceful and truth is there for all to see.
“To claim that people who punish people by killing them for blaspheming Islam while shouting ‘Allah is greatest’ has ‘nothing to do with Islam’ is madness. Because the violence of the Islamists is, truthfully, only to do with Islam: the worst version of Islam, certainly, but Islam nonetheless,’’ wrote Douglas Murray in the Spectator magazine.
“Islam is not a peaceful religion. No religion is, but Islam is especially not. It is certainly not, as some ill-informed people say, solely a religion of war. There are many peaceful verses in the Quran which — luckily for us — most Muslims live by. But it is by no means only a religion of peace.
“I say this not because I hate Islam, nor do I have any special animus against Muslims, but simply because this is the verifiable truth based on the texts. Until we accept that we will never defeat the violence, we risk encouraging whole populations to take against all of Islam and abandon all those Muslims who are trying desperately to modernise, reform and de-literalise their faith. And — most importantly — we will give up our own traditions of free speech and historical inquiry and allow one religion to have an unbelievable advantage in the free marketplace of ideas,” he wrote.
GWEMULA,it seems to me you are a frivolous person and I have no time for such people.If you wanted to know the name of Jesus in Hebrew,ask Hebrews themselves because Iam not a Hebrew.Have you been to school? Iam pretty sure the answer is NO!!! So shut your smelling mouth Iam not a rat eater like you guile.
Islam means peace but it doesnt practise peace. The wars in Yemen and Syria are between Shia and Sunni moslems. They cut each other throats. The Afghastan and Pakistan Talibans are all Moslems. Now Al-Shabab is in Mozambique
Let me see!
Boko Haram
Al-Qaeda
Jamaah-wa-Sunaaa
PLO
ISIS
Assad of Syria
Saddam Hussein
Ayatollah Khomein
Ansar-al-Sharia
7th Brigade
Taleban
Al-Shabab

No, Islam is not a religion of peace.
Letchworth you are sponsored by the white missionaries to defame Islam
If I may ask, who is sponsoring you, dear HASSAM JUSSAB?
Muhammad’s are war mongers. Islam it’s a worse religious in the world, eh beheading,bombing, stoning and many more
You fool,who told you that Islam is a religion of peace? If it was the religion of peace could Arab Muslims leave their own countries in millions to seek peace in Europe,USA and other peaceful States like Malawi where the so-called Vice-President S.Mia of the Malawi Confusionist Party (MCP) currently live with his wife? Since when the Arab countries have been peaceful? You wait,AL-Shabaab will be in your country when you dare voting for Chakwera and his financial master S.MIA.Some idiots write that Malawians must not fear Islam because it has no place for violence ( and what are they doing in Nigeria with their mad-dogs by the name of BOKO HARAAM) there they are killing hundreds of innocent people including children of all ages.In Europe,where they have been received well running from their own countries where rivers of blood are flowing, the whites are being killed in broad day light. Malawians, especially members of the MCP who still have blood of innocent Malawians hitherto in their hands you seem to be trusting the Arabs, you are waisting your time.Green Muheya,have you been in one of the Arab nations?The killings in Muslim countries ,have by far beaten those of Hitler and Idd Amin of Uganda just to remind you ( Idd Amin was also a Muslim.) who killed a million Ugandans.Do not defend Muslims when it comes to killing human beings.Malawians,what amazes me most is do you feel proud seeing Mr.R.Msowoya booted out from Presidential election as a Vice-President of the MCP and in his place,S.Mia an Arab was qualified to take his place? Indeed,Malawians will never grow in Politics,SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!
