Speaking during a press briefing yesterday at Malawi Sun Hotel in Blantyre, MAM Publicity Secretary Sheikh Dinala said BCC was wrong to remove the billboard which had no any offensive language but rather encouraging Malawians to read the Holy Qur’an.

Sheikh Chabulika has therefore asked Muslims in the country to be patient on the matter.

“We know that out there, there are concerns as to why Blantyre City Council destroyed our billboard. It is our responsibility as leaders to talk to our people to calm them down and to make sure that if there are some disagreement they should be solved amicably,” Chabulika said.

He continued to say, “we want the Blantyre City Council to restore the billboard which was erected at Maselema because our intention of the billboard was not to undermine any religion or to insult any religion”.

Sheikh Chabulika said Muslims believe in all books of God and all Prophets.

“We as Muslims we can not undermine Christianity, because it is out of our faith. You can not be a Muslim until you believe in oneness of God. You can not be a Muslim until you believe in Jesus and until you believe in Moses and the books which were revealed to them,”

“We as Muslims believe in Jesus. We believe in Old tastament, in New testament and in the Last testament, the Holy Quran,” he said.

According to Sheikh Chabulika, for centuries, Muslims and Christians have enjoyed peaceful co-existence in this country and he looks forward to the continued harmony in a Multi-religious environment where people freely profess their faith.

“We do not have any problem with any of our Jewish and Christian brothers and sisters and it is our hope that they do not have a problem with us too,” he said.

In a statement which has been signed by MAM Secretary General, Alhaj Twaibu Lawe, MAM says.

“We will be engaging Blantyre City Council and law enforcement agencies, firstly for them to investigate and apprehend the culprits who damaged our billboard, and secondly to work with them on the process of immediately replacing the damaged billboard”.

National co-ordinator for Islamic Information Bureau (IIB), Sheikh Ahmed Chienda said,

“Our door is open for contact and dialogue”

“When the billboard was erected we saw many complaints on the social media about the billboard, the complaints were logged to Blantyre City Assembly but Blantyre City Assembly didn’t contact us to ask on our part yet the billboard had contacts of us”.

Chienda Added to say ” we are disheartened to see Blantyre City Council removed the billboard without our consent and they didn’t ask us on what the billboard was all about”.

According to Chiyenda IIB spent a lot of money on the billboard.

“Islamic Information Bureau paid 600 thousand for the billboard to be mounted and we followed every procedure for this billboard to be erected.”
