Posted on April 18, 2009 | 25 Comments
Rwanda has been marking the 15th anniversary of the country’s genocide when according to the government 1.2 million people were killed, the UN says 800000 died, most of those murdered were ethnic Tutsis. During that genocide, tens of thousands of Tutsis fled into Muslim mosques to escape from the machete-wielding Hutu mobs. And their lives were spared because many Hutus believed Muslims were evil and were afriad to go into mosques. Al Jazeera’s Yvonne Ndege tells the story of survivors who …

Im proud of the Rwandan Muslims. Muslims in the world should support their efforts in helping the Tutsis.
As I watched this, I could imagine the Almighty (call Him what you may) smiling down as we occassionally get it right…on that day, in that time – these humans did just that.
“God has no religion” – Gahndi
muslims saved jews in ww2 as well from the nazis who were also catholic, throughout history muslims have put their faith before any other loyalties. islam is peace non muslims can learn alot from islam it makes one a human, dont be fooled by western propaganda.
There are millions of muslims living in the west, and millions of christians in the east. The world is not split the way some people might tell you, all that is needed is interest, and it does exist, but respect is also essential we’re going to live side by side like we did in most places for over a thousand place. People like to point out war and hostilities, but if you consider the scope of things this was very rare. these religions extended across vast areas.
You need to watch this video. No muslim is attacking the teachings of Christ, Peace be upon him. We love Christ.
But the video is talking about a genocide committed in the name of catholicism, and it is time that you realise these people should not continue to besmirch the name of your religion while you remain quiet about it.
Fantastic to see images from rwanda instead of sporadic news. Muslims, learn from these brothers that God and His religion which he has sent to you are above all else.
if you see you little brother running towards oncoming traffic, wouldn’t you warn him to stop and turn?
Friend, that’s exactly what i am doing to all non-believers – to accept Jesus as their Lord and God. Then, and only then, will God allow you into His presence.
please quit that burdensome faith of islam or whatever you are into and come to Jesus. He will set you FREE!!!!!!!! His love is more powerful than anything in this whole universe. His arms ar open for yu. call on His name now!
You have no respect or moral for other people’s religions. You just assume you and your christian god, is the truth then Islam, well better research about another religion before saying shit.
there is no truth in Quran! The ONLY truth is Jesus Christ and He is God. Now, ‘that’ is not told in Quran. Therefore there is NO truth in islam. Now, is that logic enough for you?
I m tutsi genocide survive but I ensure that this is true, catholics , protestants, prists, pastors, revelands , they have screw up during the genocide, only muslims were not involved in general
Ever thought about the other way arround ?? Ever thought that maybe you were brainwashed from childhood against the truth that is told in the Quran ? it s a question of faith..so mind your own faith and stop judging others… I m an atheist by the way , just cant understand your logic..
Masha’Allah. This was truly heart warming. And I truly loved their beautiful response. May Allah bless them immensly and bestow upon them much good. Allahu Akbar!
mashaAllah im really impressed and proud of our brothers in rwanda, many people would have just thought about themselves and the safety of their families, but these men (and women) where courages and brave in the face hostity and danger.
Allahu-akbar
non-believers, especially muslims, are heavily brainwashed from childhood against the truth that is told in the Bible. They are even prevented from checking Christianity out. They are even told that Jesus is NOT God, when the Truth is, if you reject Jesus then you are rejecting God, for the completeness of God is in the Father-Jesus-Holy Spirit Trinity. To deny one of these three personalities is to deny God altogether.
How butiful islam is i witnessed always in my life,how much propagenda but islam always stand against all eveility stand for humanity alhamdulillah
So your particular brand of protestantism is not?
We must recognize that our differences are trivial. God listens to all of us. We are incapable of interpreting what God is. Scripture can be corrupted but having God in your heart cannot.
both catholic church and muslim faith are based on erroneous, demonic doctrines. Any goodness in any human being comes from the only fountain of goodness there is, and He is Jesus Christ. To show His goodness in a non-Christian does not make islam and catholic right, it simply shows that all human beings are properties of Jesus and He will decide who to use for what.
let there be Truth in our lives.
Muslims were not allowed land and basic education wow didnot know that
but ALLAH OAKBAR
it is nice and makes me proud that the Muslims saved them
Allah is Great and May Allah guide all!
great story. Allahu Akbar
Fire Pon Rome!!!
ALLAH O AKBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. This is just amazing.
In Africa you find some of the most pious humane muslims who don’t advocate
conflict with christians.
Peace be unto all believers who can coexist in a blessed divine harmony always.
