This morning at the Paltalk exclusive Tigrean "Geza Tegaru" room they had an event featuring an invited TPLF official speaking about the accelerated economic developments in Tigray called "Lem'at Tigray", during which a certain Muslim-Tigrean present in the room, a long time blind woyane supporter and a fierce defender of the junta, visibly troubled by recent revelations that woyanes have prevented Muslim-Tigreayan from building Mosques in Tigray, he asked the woyane official for an explanation to why the ban was necessary and why Muslims like himself are forced to bury their loved ones 15 kilometers outside city limits of their home towns in their own country?

The TPLF official brought up the latest public uproar in the U.S. to the proposal of a community center and mosque near Ground Zero in lower Manhattan as an example to justify woyane's ban on the building of Mosques in Tigray. He went on to say, "... democracy means majority rule. If the majority of the population happen to be Christians and they don't want to see mosques built in their country, then their wish becomes a law. That is what democracy means; majority rule."
hahahahahahahaha :D (Imagine a person representing people who make up a mere 6% of Ethiopia's population that are lording over the 78% of the people preaching about democracy and a majority rule ) :lol:

When it was my turn to ask a question on the mic, I sarcastically asked the woyane official what if the predominately Muslim populated regions of southern Ethiopia decide to prevent Ethiopian Christians from building churches in their regions and demand the removal of the existing ones, will their wishes become laws in a "democratic" Ethiopia ?

The moderators didn't think my question was appropriate so they bounced me from the room.
hahahahahahahahahaha
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

It is these kind of people ruling Ethiopia.

Adwa Jr (not-so-undercover woyane)

If you want to impress us, allow the Ethiopian Muslims in Tigray region to build a Mosque and to bury their loved ones in all major cities of Tigray without having to continue to drag the corpses 15 kilometers outside city limits for a burial as stipulated by your islmaophobic TPLF regime's outrageous laws!

"Only when Christians are allowed to build a church in Mecca would Muslims in Ethiopia be allowed to build a Mosque," the Ethiopian government is reported to have stated.

    " It is extremely ironic that in Washington we are granted our rights while this is not the case in our homeland " Mosque muzzein Moftah Saeid

Muslim Ethiopians built their dream mosque in Washington

WASHINGTON (Ahmed al-Shiti)

After being denied official construction permission back home, Muslim Ethiopians in the United States built the First Hijrah mosque and community center to commemorate the first immigration in the history of Islam and counter discriminatory practices by the Ethiopian government.

The First Hijrah mosque, literally meaning the mosque of the first immigration, is located in Washington, D.C., almost two miles from the White House.

    " It is extremely ironic that in Washington we are granted our rights while this is not the case in our homeland " Mosque muzzein Moftah Saeid

The name of the mosque refers to the immigration in year 615 of a group of the prophet's followers, the first to enter Islam, to the northern Ethiopian city of Axum, seeking refuge from the persecution of the Quraish tribe in Mecca.

They lived there under the protection of the Christian Emperor Ashama ibn Abjar, also called al-Najashi, who denied Quraish's request to hand the refugees.

To commemorate the first immigration in the history of Islam, Muslims in the city of Axum tried to build their own mosque and were denied permission by the Ethiopian authorities.

"Only when Christians are allowed to build a church in Mecca would Muslims in Ethiopia be allowed to build a Mosque," the Ethiopian government is reported to have stated.


Muslim Ethiopians finally got the chance to realize their dream in the United States where they built the First Hijrah mosque.

The mosque serves 20,000 Muslims who live the neighborhood, said Sheikh Naguib Mohamed, 57, head of the Ethiopian community in Washington.

"We used to pay rent for that mosque then we bought it," he told Al Arabiya.

Mohamed complained of discriminatory practices against Muslims in Ethiopia in general and Axum in particular.

"Not only are we not allowed to build a mosque in the first land that championed the cause of Islam, but we also don't have a cemetery. When Muslims die we have to walk 15 kilometers outside the city to bury them."

The mosque's muzzein, caller for prayers, Moftah Saeid said that he and his fellow Ethiopian Muslims perform their rituals freely unlike in Axum.

"It is extremely ironic that in Washington we are granted our rights while this is not the case in our homeland," he told Al Arabiya.

Belal al-Habashi, 13, is another member of the Muslim Ethiopian community. He learnt the Quran by heart within one year in the Virginia Islamic Center.

"Based on what I hear about the situation of Muslims there, I don't think I could have learnt the Quran had I lived in Axum," he told Al Arabiya.

The First Hijrah mosque consists of two floors, the first for men and the second for women. During the holy month of Ramadan, the mosque organizes banquets so that members of the community can break their fast together and also organizes courses that teach the Quran and the rules of Islam.

The mosque coordinates with several Islamic organizations like the Badr Islamic Association and has a website on the social network Paltalk where it holds cultural and religious dialogues.

It is noteworthy that members of the Ethiopian Muslim speak fluent Arabic. Their recitation of the Quran and call for prayers are not, in fact, different from those in Arab countries.
