THE Islamic Community in Zambia is angered by Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi for allegedly insulting President Lungu and dragging Muslim women into politics.
Supreme leader Sheikh Idrissa Hashim Ali said Ms Nawakwi should learn to respect leaders regardless of their political affiliation.
“We are not happy and we totally condemn the FDD leader Madam Nawakwi for insulting our President Edgar Chagwa Lungu over something he is not even concerned about. This is something which has angered almost 99 percent of the Moslems in Zambia,” Sheik Ali said.
The Islamic leader said it is against their religion for Ms Nawakwi to insult the head of State and drag women into politics.
Ms Nawakwi has been using her meetings with Islamic women to cast aspersions on the President.
Please do not issue a fatwa against her! She was only trying to help your women folk…
High time someone told off ba mayo ba Nawakwi to stop being a ‘political vuvuzela’.
what muslim leader. zambia’s a christian nation-we dont want terrorists!
The issue is of respect. Respect your democratically elected leaders, whether it be Lungu today, Nawakwi or HH or whoever tomorow. Respect your leaders.
Why hasn’t FDD been empowering Christian Women groups.
Nawakwi should be careful with Islam.
Comment:H.E nawakwi should never try to involve our blessed woman of islam,Allah grant her peace,knowledge and the deen..Islam is not a relifion of man but a chastity and sincerity of GOD(SWT).
Madam Nawakwi, please do a good did and leave it at that. If you make a donation of chicks and feed and then go on to talk about others donating jiggies and sweets, it smacks of showing off, and the Bible does not encourage that…
Be careful Nawakwi this man claims 99 percent of Muslims in Zambia are not happy with you. I don’t know maybe I didn’t spend too much time at school but does this man understand what an insult is. We are not talking about the Prophet Muhammad or Allah here, we are talking about the country’s number one politician who I pay using my taxes to work for me. I think I paid enough attention in civics at school, so this man should go back to school then he will understand that the president is employed by Nawakwi, by me and by the 14 million Zambians. So if we use some harsh language once in a while so be it. I am sure he does the same with his workers!!!
I agree with this Muslim leader in that, Nawakwi is voicing her insults via a group, what ever group it may be, for personal political interests. In so doing, she caused a fracas at a place of worship, whatever place of worship it may be. And the fracas involved women. Women and children should be kept out of harms way, so should places of worship.
When you meet Edgar in person, address him with your insults, and see the royal treatment you get from your employee.
All i can see now is just hypocrisy hypocrisy ! Some of these Zambian politicians want to gain political mileage unnecessarily.
You have put it straight @ mwe bantu. These moslems, had it been in a country where they are the majority, someone would have been burnt to ashes or hacked to death. A savage religion. Nonsense.
I can never support Muslims in anything. They are dangerous people. I wonder why Nawakwi is rubbing shoulders with their women. Aint that just funny for the 99% of Muslims to call President Lungu “our President Edgar Chagwa Lungu!!”.
i am confused..
When Nawakwi went to address Muslim women we were told it was at the invitation of the Islamic Superme Council and their president is even sitting next to her. After the attack she continued with the meeting and demanded an appology from HE Lungu calling the attacks unfortunate. From the reports she did not go there to talk about HE. It was also reported and heard on radio the Islamic Supreme council president upset about his car and the attacks and said thats why people cant vote for leaders of violent political parties.
To turn around today 9 days later and condem Nawakwi for insulting HE and dragging women muslims into politics is …….
The Supreme Islamic Council does not represent the Islamic community.
The problem here is, there are 2 groups involved. The Supreme Islamic Council, and the Islamic community. The Islamic community does not want to be the mouth piece of political violence. The Supreme Islamic Council does not represent the Islamic community.
Just sort out your marriage issues naiwe Nawakwi. Why vent your anger at your own social failure on Eddie, our beloved and sacred President?
Nga fya shupa ifya chupo, just accept being a spinster, many others live normal and sometimes better lives as spinsters. This social bitterness will not take Nawakwi anywhere but failure and more bitterness. Especially don’t be (ab)used by Post Urinal, they are not interested in your welfare at all, just to use and dump you like a ………. for their selfish ends.
Ba Nawakwi. Please do not bring Boko Haram to Zambia.
JUST GET RID OF THAT PROSTITUTE/BEGGAR SHE HAS NO SOLUTIONS FOR ZAMBIA BUT TO HOOK MEN BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGN.
SIR WHERE WERE U WHEN SHE ENTERED THE MOSQUE.
DO U ALLOW UNMARRIED WOMEN TO ADRESS YO WOMEN?
SHE HAS NO RESPECT THATS WHY SHE CANT GET MARRIED HENCE POLITICS BRING MEN CLOSE. NB SHE IS EVER WITH MEN NOT WOMEN. EVEN FERTILISER WAS GIVEN TO MEN NOT WOMEN
Yamakwela ma Temper ngati ba laking”a.so don”t worry madam we understand you.
Insulting the President is unfortunately her Achilles Heel. She makes herself a fool by this fish wife conduct. Her true intellect is overshadowed by this repeatative self destructive conduct.
It’s mega off putting, if only she could get it into her head. Horrible people finish second last each time if they use these tactics because healthy people deduct marks from them. Ok Ma’am?
