A Roman Catholic friend of mine sent me this This is freaky, interesting and scary all in one! Read down to the very bottom, you don't want to miss this! VERY INTERESTING - 1. The garden of Eden was in Iraq. 2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization! 3. Noah built the ark in Iraq . 4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq 5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq! 6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq ! 7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq 8. Jonah preached in10. Amos cried out in Iraq ! 11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem . 12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq! 13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the fiery furnace!) 14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq. 15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq. 16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq 17. The wise men were fromIraq! And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land ofShinar , and Mesopotamia . The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and ! Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq , means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated with it than Iraq . And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible) Koran ( 9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
The bible is cultural to that part of the world. And so what??? The Hindus also have texts that "reveal" stuff too. So do Buddhists. Civilisation began is that part of the world... ANd your point being???
1. Noah's ark is a myth.
2. So is the tower of Babel
3. Abraham is also a mythical character.
4. All your points are not historical ones. If you ever bothered to learn the history of Mesopotamia as opposed the the religious myths, you'll learn quite a lot and stop posting pseudo-religious rubbish. I suppose ignorant people would buy it as some sort of sign from God or something.
Hezbollah I thought you are ant-God. I wasn’t expecting any thoughts from an advocate of Charles R Darwin. At least most of the people believe that these noble scriptures were written tens of decades ago. And the Darwin crap? Just a few years ago. I won’t be deceived by a guy who was born the same year with Abraham Lincoln, and perhaps my great grand father. This folk was a confused lunatic or maybe all scientists in general. We had 9 planets, the next minute we have 8. Wait a minute! There is the other one. We have got 9 again! Most of your theories are based on speculations or contemplations. Lord knows what your son is going to discover, that human beings evolved from futsas!

Education is important. You my dear friend is the very argument for that. I hope one day I'll be able to use you as a testament to my kids when they refuse to attend classes.

Abre what is education? I take it that to you education is about sympathising with the Darwin mumbo jumbo. Well am one of those who don’t buy it! You went secular and I went spiritual period
You don't have to "buy" Darwinism anymore than you "buy" the laws of gravity or the laws of thermodynamics. They happen, whether you chose to accept them or not.
Evolution is not a 'belief" or a philosophy or some position of ideology, no matter how religious people chose to frame it. It's fortunately what happens to living things. They evolve to adapt or die out. It's pretty simple actually. We won't need to vaccinate ourselves if not.
Stick to your "spirituality" and let the rest of us(sadly not many on this forum) who chose to look for evidence and scientific actuality stick to theirs... I just hope when you need medicine for some ailment that is sure to afflict you in the future you go to the Mosque to pray to your Allah and don't go to the hospital.

Abre, Darwin was a great scientist, it’s only the theory of evolution that I have problem with. Maybe the guy was under the influence of something when he thought we evolved from apes, or maybe they were hallucinations. You know what happens when a person is aging. Any idea what men are going to evolve to? There has to some change some where!
We ask for Allah’s help to make the medicine work, even if it is traditional medicine. Muhammad’s remedies are scientifically proven nowadays. Do you want some tip?

Abuhakim,
amwene inu should be ashamed of yourself if the above has come from deep down your heart.It is scandalous,shameful and simply despicable that you sit in front of your computer and write about such crap.Funny how say you dont need secular education in your life yet you are a product of one.Unless you tell me that you did your education in Kashmir,Kandahar or Lahore in one of those madrassas,you have had that secular education.
I am actually flabbergasted to hear you say that about your own people the Yao chawas.You should be the only one proud enough to shout aloud about your peoples lack of formal education because I know a few chawas like Cassim Chilumpha,Yusuf Mwawa,Fahad Assan,Ishmael Wadi,Alfred Upindi et al who will not agree with you.However I do agree with you that we had an uneducated mchawa for a President and look where he took the country,we learnt our lesson the hard way,never again will that country be ruled by someone like your tribesman in terms of education that is,never!
Once again I agree with what Abre wrote about you,you are very ignorant and your ignorance stands out for all to see,shame!

mayo,mayo!apa nde mwa lalatatu ngwazi.at first i didnt take the contents too seriously but now my heart bleeds for this young muslim.education is really a key.abuhakim,just a word of advise from me,sell your computer and by makina udzisoka mayala.

Che Ngwazi, who cares with what you think? Got educated in Kandahar, Kashmir Ku Malingunde or even Kwa Mpwetekele. Yes and I mean yes that came from deep down my heart. What do I need secular education for? Is that the only technique of paying bills? Educated or not educated but we are on the same forum with the same resources. Even though I must confess that am still using the old 386 with a mono-chrome monitor!
For the record am proud of the Chawa people and am the only one who is not all for secular education. Don’t contradict yourself. You and I know that there are a lot of educated Chawaz out there and you have just mentioned a few of them. You are amongst a small fraction of people who complain about the former Chawa President. People voted that guru for two consecutive terms and they still dig him. We don’t need anthu ozikonda ngati inu in our country. People who are too xenophobic. If M`Chawa is qualified for the office, the only thing that can stop people from voting is tsankho lakolo. First it was M`Chewa then M`chawa then M`sena and it can be good if the sequence can continue like this. Now it’s about time the Dingiswayos rule!
Mjomba Game you didn’t finish your sentence, education is the key for what, Success? I didn’t think so. I say knowledge in general. You took a right and wrong guess. Am not a young Muslim, who knows maybe am 79 going 80. You made my day for this one, how did you know that am a Telala by fulofeshoni I just upgraded my machine to the electric monitor machine. Am still doing Zikofiya, buyibuyi and Mikanjo right now. I wish people should call me a fashion designer. Anyway we all start somewhere. Tommy Hilfiger started selling Jeans in the basement but look at him now.

Mjomba Abuhakim Ali,
Can you tell us which madrassa you did your primary and secondary education?I might be wrong but unless you did your early education out of Malawi I am entitled to believe that you are a product of secular education because I dont remember a moslem primary or secondary school in Malawi pre-multiparty elections.So the onus is on you to prove that you have never had and dont need secular education.
Xenophobic?do you really know what this word really means or it just sounded nice and exotic that you decided to use it?We are talking about Malawians here and I am a Malawian,how then do I become xenophobic?Mjomba,I dont hate any Yao chawas.Infact I dont even hate Muluzi but it would be immoral for me to applaud Muluzis tenure as a success when I know pretty well it was a disaster.Even if I was the only complaining about his mismanagement I would still have done so very loudly but unfortunately a lot of Malawians fully appreciate that this Muluzi guy was leading us to ruins but thankfully he could not continue beyond the two terms as prescribed in the constituition despite his satanic desire to change it.
I make no apologies for saying no uneducated person will ever rule that country again after the debacle of Bakili.If a mchawa is qualified for office,education wise then depending on the competition I might/might not vote for him.But if you give me a reincarnation of Muluzi then I wont even bother about him.So to cut this story short,stop bragging about an uneducated mchawa ruling the country,true yes but it only brings ridicule to the normal and educated chawas as the saying goes nsomba ikawola imodzi...........!!
Never again will that country be ruled by someone like your tribesman in terms of education that is,never!

Lastly I want to know what is the benefit for kusankhana mitundu kwanuko

Abuhakim M`chawa
Abu,
It seems you still want to pretend that you never had any secular education,I believe somewhere in the Koran,Sura something talks about the evils of lying which you seem to be doing now.Just like you said about your previous love for hip hop before the Sheiks showed you the real teachings of Prophet Muhammad,you have had secular education and thats the truth.You can pretend as much but you know in your heart that you have had that and osati zonama kuti munaphunzila mu khonde,manyazi ulibe!!
On hating the chawas as a people,I can proudly say I dont.But there is a chawa I dont like and thats Muluzi and unless you tell me that Muluzi represents the chawas and all the chawas are Muluzis then you might have a point.To hate all chawas just because of one stupid guy would be wrong,I have respect for those chawas who have excelled in their fields and continue to do so.Muluzi funny enough and unfortunately does not fall in the category of those people I admire or respect except for his age and not wisdom or intelligence.So if to dislike Muluzi in your opinion is like hating all the chawas then I make no apologies for your myopic and flawed thinking.
Never again will that country be ruled by someone like your tribesman in terms of education that is,never!

I must confess, I did a bit of secular just to have some knowledge and learn how to read and write. It is not a priority to me at all. My dream is to farther my Islamic studies and hopefully do masters.
Ngwazi, I grew up with people who hated a chawa, and I don’t know what you are denying. The writing is on the wall!

Abu Hakim M`chawa
Abu,
Now we are getting somewhere,you have now accepted that you have had secular education though you are still trying to potray it as insignifant,you can keep how much of the secular education you have had but everyone now knows not to trust you,ndinu mjomba wonama,what happened to that "khonde"education?Anyway good luck with your islamic studies and your aspirations to gain a Masters in that field,we need educated Sheiks in Malawi and make sure you come back to Malawi upon completion of your studies.
On a mchawa ruling that country again,thats a definite no,no and on that I can say never without fear or favour and you have Muluzi to thank for that.A Yao will of course rule that country but not a mchawa never,never again and if that makes me a chawa hater in your eyes then be it because I have gone past caring what you think about me,what matters is the truth,tisamaopane kapena kunamizana kapena kunyambitana,mchawa sazalamulilanso dziko la Malawi.
Never again will that country be ruled by someone like your tribesman in terms of education that is,never!!!

I bet you on that one! Since you don’t tell me the reason why we will never rule again. There is a possibility that achawa tidzalamulira. Have you noted how many of us are venturing into politics? John Chilembwe anakalamulira pang`onong`ono. Wachiyao wangalusa. Even if you don’t vote for Mchawa but there are a lot of people who would disagree that chawa won’t rule again.

Abu Hakim Mchawa
Abuhakim,
Get this in your head,a mchawa will never rule that country again but a Yao will one day rule.There is a difference between a Yao and a mChawa.Much as most chawas are Yaos,not all Yaos are chawas.Bakili Muluzi is both a Yao and a mChawa and so is Uladi Mussa.However Alfred Upindi is a Yao and so too is Friday Jumbe but both are not chawas,you should know the difference or ask those "khonde"teachers of yours to explain to you the difference between the two.
Never again will that country be ruled by someone like your tribesman in terms of education that is,never!!!

Are Chawa & Yao literally two distinct groups? I've always thought that 'Chawa' was a derogatory term for 'Yao' (maybe that's exactly what your point is?). I'm no expert on tribal Malawi, I'll appreciate some clarification.

awmygawd,
Chawas are the moslem part of the Yao tribe,it is indeed a derogatory term.Chawas are not a tribe,never been and never will and thats why I gave an example of Bakili and Uladi Mussa as being both Yao and Chawa whilst Upindi and Friday Jumbe are Yao but not Chawa,basically you have the christian Yao and the moslem Yao(mchawas).The problem is that Yao as a language has become synonymous with the moslem(mchawa) part of the tribe which tends to potray the whole tribe as mchawas which is very misleading as we know but unfortunately mchawas form the larger part of the tribe.

Never again
Ngwazi which part of Malawi do you come from? The last time I checked M`chawa was M`Yao. Like Awmygawd has said, it is Derogatory term used by people like you.
In your analysis I take it that there is a possibility that M`yao will rule and not M`chawa. Remember never say never!

Abuhakim,
Those "khonde" lessons you had did not help much because of all the people you should know the difference.As said mChawa or achawa in plural is a deragatory term for the moslem Yao. Christian Yaos like John Chilembwe,Friday Jumbe or Alfred Upindi have never been called mchawa because that word is reserved for the moslem Yaos like Bakili Muluzi,Uladi Mussa and Yusuf Matumula.The only problem that has risen is that the Yao language is now mainly associated with the moslem part of the tribe which is the bigger of the two at the expense of the christian minority,but most christian yaos speak the language as well.
A Yao will one day rule that country but that Yao will definitely not be a mchawa,a Mchawa will never rule that country again,that I can say without fear of contradiction.
If you find the term mchawa deregatory,how come you were the first person on this forum to use it?ife tikutsatila zomwe mwini mphika anayambitsatu!!!!

I do not find the term derogatory, others do except me ofcourse! Thats who i am. i am starting to get your point, even though you need to check your facts. i have never heard of such thing that Muslim Yaos are Chawas. you have got all wrong! when i say The Chawas will rule, i just simply generalise (Christian or Moslem) i see from your views that you have a problem with Muslim Yaos when it comes to readership of our country. is it only Bakili you have a problem with or is it all of us?

Abuhakim,
As said your "khonde" teachers sanakuphunzitse bwino.There is simply no way you can call a christian Yao a "mchawa",no.As far as I am concerned a mchawa ia a moslem yao and those friends of mine who are chawas have confirmed this,khonde lake munkaphunzila liti kodi?

You can never imagine how skilled these khonde teachers are. Teaching without guidelines and without notes at all. The trick is for the students to record everything in their brain. Unfortunately we don’t find a special book on the history of aYao in Malawi. Surprisingly the book by South African authors is found on the shelves of University of Johannesburg`s library. These folks will disagree when you say that Chawas are not Yaos in general.
