MUSLIMS Ask SATA To Include Them In Constitution Technical COMMITTEE

In a largely christian dominated, Zambia, muslims in the country have asked the country’s leader, Michael Sata to include them on the newly established technical committee, which is to oversee the drafting of the national constitution.
Zambia is a Christian nation with over 80 percent of the population believing in the Christian faith.
The current Zambian constitution declares Zambia a Christian nation while permitting freedom of conscience (including freedom of all worship).
This section serves to honor Zambia’s Christian identity.
However, the muslims through the the Islamic Supreme Council of Zambia claim the techincal committee is not representative of all religions, which may be a threat to national unity.
Organisation Secretary General, Sheik Shaban Phiri says the muslims must be represented on the committee on account of their contribution to the country’s economic growth through many businesses owned by them.
Three catholic bishops have since been appointed to a 20-member technical committee to draft the new republican Constitution amid public outcry.

    When it comes 2 povert alliviation issues u say we should put our heads together, now because its earning allowances u say No to Muslims. Christians you will never stop to be amusing. Anyway Muslims are not as poor as Christians, enjoy the allowances but make sure that you come up with a document that will be accepted by both Christians & Muslims at the end of the day. salamalekuh

      We only need to come up with a document that will be accepted by Christians PERIOD. I would rather live with a Jew than a Muslim. AND MARK MY WORDS ANY ONE WHO TRIES TO REMOVE THE CHRISTIAN DECLARATION FROM THE CONSTITUTION WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE.

      Every country that has a mojority muslim/islam belief is in a war of some sort! Muslims are very agressive people and they do not respect life…They are very careless people, terrorists and suicide bombers!

    1. ZEC and CCZ have a soft heart for gay rights, infact they support gays and anoint them for ministries, while the EFZ are anti Gays,. that is why they have been left out so the GAY are legalized in the new constitution.
    True believers in the Lord Christ Jesus stand firm and stand in the Gap for this nation of Zambia. we have the spiritual powers to pull down any stronghold that exalts itself above the rule of God.
    we resisted the 3rd term issue.
    those who are wise they know what i saying, you know the people who were supporting the 3rd term nonsense!!!!

    Iwe Phiri just keep quiet and watch from the terraces. Zambia is a Christian nation and as such other religions understand when they are not included in such activities. If you want to be found in such activities better be engaged in a different profession other than religion related issues.

    Qur’an 5:17 “Verily they are disbelievers and infidels who say, ‘The Messiah, son of Mary, is God.'”
    Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other.”

    I REST MY CASE.

    Qur’an 5:51 “Believers, take not Jews and Christians for your friends. They are but friends and protectors to each other.”
    Qur’an 5:72 “They are surely infidels who blaspheme and say: ‘God is Christ, the Messiah, the son of Mary.’ But the Messiah only said: ‘O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.'”

    IT SEEMS ISLAM IS DIRECTED AGAINST JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY…

    Its really emberassing how people say what they know very little about. Who told you muslims are foreigners? And which islamic country has gone to attack another country? Isn’t france, america, and isreal at are busy killing muslims. Why is muslim blood cheaper than that of christians?

    • Logan   November 18, 2011 at 3:59 pm

      My friend they are Terrorists..They are good at suicide bombing! It is a course in most muslim countries…. Terrorology 101, Suicideology 956 and “How to blow up US Embassies 205…Thats why Ameriica and Europe are overwhelmed with them….Who could be practising laws like sharia where a young boys hand is cut off because he was stealing candy?
      Pathetic..THis is a Christian Nation and let be just as it is…

    Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”

    Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”

    Qur’an:8:65 “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.”

    Qur’an:47:4 “When you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle (fighting Jihad in Allah’s Cause), smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom (them based upon what benefits Islam) until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.”

    And you say you are Christian nation. What you all have written are the teachings of Jesus? If you were a nation of educated Christians you would have not reacted in this way. This just shows how this country does not qualify to be called a Christian nation. It’s by far from that. Anyway may God forgive you as you don’t know what you are talking about

    Even if am opposition n lost last presdo election, no no no to muslims. U pipo u are not peaceful and u have failed to run your own countries peacefuly, so u are not welcome in our peaceful country’s constitution making proces. U are lucky Mr Sata has allowed u to continue staying in zambia, but wen i become predo, i ll make sure that u leave zamb in 30days time. And u Phiri, who ever is using u to speak that rubbish nonsense, is just selling u. Ndalumba kapati, mebo ndimu kristu.
