Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Tanzania: Christians arrested for frying fish during Ramadan

Jul 9, 2017 3:48 pm By Robert Spencer

In Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities.

“Christians in Tanzania arrested for frying fish during Ramadan,” by Tola Mbakwe, Premier Christian Radio, July 8, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Christian charity has learned that three Tanzanian Christians were arrested for cooking in their kitchen last month during the Muslim Ramadan fast.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) said Emmanuel Yohana, his wife Katherine Emmanuel and a woman identified as Khadija were arrested on 16 June at the couple’s home in Zanzibar while the women were frying fish in the kitchen.

According to CSW, the Christians were informed that they had allegedly breached the law by cooking food during Ramadan. The police officer reportedly verbally abused them and allegedly said, “Today you will know how to fast”.

They were released three days later following interventions by local church leaders.

CSW’s Chief Executive Mervyn Thomas said, “These arrests were unjust and unwarranted. Not only were these Christians preparing food in a private home, but as non-Muslims they are under no obligation to observe the Ramadan fast. “

“Moreover, their arrests are in violation of provisions within Tanzania’s constitution that recognise the right to freedom of religion or belief and prohibit discrimination on the basis of religion.”

CSW said Christians are also discriminated against by being prevented from building churches because local officials impose extra-legal processes….

Islamic law actually forbids Christians to build new churches.

    the behaviour of the police was rather fishy.

      Every country should follow the lead of Angola – Ban Islam entirely. They categorize Islam religion as “Other”
      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2513388/Angola-bans-Islam-shuts-mosques.html
      Or at least follow Japan and minimize muzzies invasion.

    I’m sure Linda Sarsour would have set this straight had she not been busy pining away for Saddam Hussein. You haven’t heard about that one. True.

      Linda Sarsour is, of course, a bold-faced liar. I hadn’t heard about her mooning over Saddam Hussein, but it does not surprise me.

        Yes she said his death hurt her Arab pride. She’s also praised louis Farrakhan.

        • gravenimage says

          Jul 10, 2017 at 7:59 pm

          Yes–I’ve heard her lauding the vile Louis Farrakhan.

        Yes, Linda is a liar. But that’s okay, because lying is permitted and encouraged if it advances the religion or “peace”.

    Islamic law actually forbids Christians to build new churches.

    And the same Christians allow mosques to crop up like mushrooms in infidel lands.

    “There is NOT ONE example of Muslims trying to impose Sharia on ANY ONE”

    Erm, ever heard about the “Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam”? Sharia defines the human rights for all people in more than 50 islamic states in the world.

    It doesn’t matter what their secular law says when it comes to Christians being treated humanely. molsums are having “their reward in full.” Later, the Judgment will come and they can pay the full price for their evil.

    Cooking a meal in one’s own kitchen brings arrests. . sarsour must be salivating at the idea of having someone in NYC arrested for that *crime.* of hate against her fellow vermin.

    At least the Christians were frying fish to eat and not “FRYING PEOPLE, LIKE MOSLEMS DO EVERY SINGLE DAY!

    Tanzania: Christians arrested for frying fish during Ramadan
    …………………………..

    And Tanzania is only about 35% Muslim–but Zanzibar is almost 99% Muslim.

    Another example of Shari’ah being imposed in “Muslim areas” of Infidel countries.

  8. Lydia says

    Jul 9, 2017 at 9:47 pm

    Yes, that Linda is a liar and she knows it!

    As Christians, we will NOT adhere to any islamic religious customs.
    None.

    Another good source of the persecution against Christians is from sources that monitor these things like Open Doors, Voice of the Martyrs, and others, if you search under the term ‘worldwide persecution of Christians’ or similar terms, many organizations appear and they document this sort of thing also.

    God bless!

      As Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists you name it – we will ALL have to adhere to islamic religious law once they take over. This is what they are insidiously working towards, stealthily, and with much help from weak treacherous politicians and compliant “let’s give them love” (they don’t even want our love; they hate us) liberals.

      Londoners VOTED IN a muslim mayor; they’re getting into our Supreme Court in the USA; Merkel will be re-elected. When they’re in power Sharia law will be IN. The West – our own lawmakers – is implementing “anti hate speech” laws so anyone who doesn’t like it will be silenced.

      25% of the world is now islam. This did NOT happen overnight. It’s an AGENDA.

      Linda Sarsour gets standing ovations at the end of her hate speeches – by non-muslims! Those STUPID ignoramous American women who attended Sarsour’s “Women’s March” protesting Trump, the ONE LEADER who’s trying to protect us from this coming Hell, will soon enough be exchanging their pink p-ssy hats for hijabs and chadors, or else get RAPED or KILLED. All those soldiers who died for our freedoms. All those “feminists” who fought for “equality”. All those “gay rights” activists”: it will all have been in vain.

      Sarsour wraps her islam-sharia agenda in hypocritical talk pretending to care about downtrodden non-muslims but in reality her “religion” does not allow her to embrace filthy infidels. Think about it.

      Wake up everyone. Educate yourselves on this. Plenty of stuff on youtube.

        KRJ, you are right about stealth Jihad–but mistaken in your belief that there are Muslims on the American Supreme Court.

        Muslims make up about a fifth of the world’s population–alarming enough–not a quarter.

    Linda Sarsour, Infidels are being force-fed Sharia Law; you may see us as gullible, but more so it is vigilance of the Cult of Islam. You have called for Jihad against President Trump; this is treasonous, yet you continue shoving the intolerance and barbarity of Islam down the throats of the gullible. In essence, those unable or cowed to foresee the duplicitous inner-working of Islam’s inherent subversiveness.

    You, while your sisters of Islam are disenfranchised, dare to denigrate our Western culture whether it is politics or faith. Moreover, you may have a warm and fuzzy relationship with so-called Western Feminists; however, they, not unlike you, are an integral cog in a system of absolute intolerance. There is a special place for you and others of your malignancy, Hell.
