si parla di terrorismo e non si menziona il + grosso massacro deglu ultimi 10 anni...
In Ruanda ricorre il decimo anniversario del massacro tutsi hutu
(800.000 morti..e in 1 solo anno se ricordo bene..pazzesco
! vengono fuori parecchi 11 Settembre)
tutto fatto a colpi di machete perche i soldi per le pallottole non c'erano..
alla radio ne stanno parlano e le responsabilita sono un po di tutti
( francia, onu..etc..etc.ilRuanda ha solo te e caffe, non e' strategico,)
.insomma tutti responsabili Se esiste un "terrorismo di matrice islamica" presumo esista anche
un "terrorismo di matrice cristiana" e che questo massacro in Ruanda ne sia un esempio,,anche alimentato da rivalita etniche
e pure + efficiente ! saddam hussein per uccidere 1 milione di irakeni ci ha messo
ben 10 anni , invece in ruanda sono bastati pochi mesi....
che storiaccia ,
Forse il fatto che preti cattolici aiutavano gli assassini a fare pulizia etnica non ha aiutato molto a far raccontare la storia qua in italia...
:-(
cmq l articolo dice che l'islam cresce molto perche i musulmani furono protetti a differenza dei cristiani..
sembra che la i musulmani si siano rifiutati di uccidere altri musulmani..( in algeria ed in iraq non succede.
KIGALI, Rwanda When 800,000 of their Tutsi countrymen were slaughtered in a massacre that began 10 years ago this week, many Rwandans lost faith not only in their government but also in their religion. Today, in what is still a predominantly Roman Catholic country, Islam is the fastest-growing religion.
.
Many people, disgusted by the role some Catholic priests and nuns played in the genocide, have shunned organized religion altogether, and many more have turned to Islam.
.
"People died in my old church and the pastor helped the killers," said Yakobo Djuma Nzeyimana, 21, who became a Muslim in 1996. "I couldn't go back and pray there. I had to find something else."
.
Wearing a black prayer cap, Nzeyimana was one of nearly 2,000 worshippers at the Masdjid Al Fat'h last Friday. The crowd was so large that some Muslims set their prayer mats on the dirt outside the mosque and prayed in the midday heat.
.
The Muslim community now boasts so many converts that it has embarked on a campaign to construct mosques to accommodate all the faithful. There are about 500 mosques scattered throughout Rwanda, about double the number that existed a decade ago.
.
Although no accurate census has been done, Muslim leaders in Rwanda estimate that they have a million followers, or about 15 percent of the population. That, too, would represent a doubling of their numbers over the past 10 years.
.
Muslim leaders credit the gains to their ability to shield most Muslims, and many other Rwandans, from certain death in the 1994 slaughter. "The Muslims handled themselves well in '94 and I wanted to be like them," said Alex Rutiririza, explaining why he converted to Islam last year. With killing all around, he said the safest place to be back then was in a Muslim neighborhood. Then as now, many of Rwanda's Muslims lived crowded together in the Biryogo neighborhood of Kigali.
