A bad person is bad and a good one is good. My country is for good people and that is why I fight wrongdoers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t arrest Muslims. In fact, I have never arrested any Muslim in my life because by default I am also a Muslim&#8230; Those who arrest Muslims are insane, in fact they think upside down and it is their legs thinking for them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Maj Gen Otafiire\u2019s comments come in the wake of growing alarm within the Muslim community over what they see as the targeting of their members by the security services.<\/p>\n<p>It also comes against the backdrop of the horrific June 16 terrorist attack on Mpondwe-Lhubiriha Secondary School in Kasese district \u2013 in which 37 students and six villagers were bludgeoned, hacked, shot and burnt to death &#8212; by suspected Islamist terrorists allied to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF).<\/p>\n<p>Similar concerns about the alleged persecution of Muslims have been raised by civil society activists and human rights defenders in relation to ongoing counter-terrorism security operations.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those operations are directed against Islamic extremist groups like the ADF and other al Qaeda-affiliated terror cells responsible for a string of bombings around Uganda\u2019s capital over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Maj Gen Otafiire observed that \u201cwhat I know is that Islam is not about terrorism because I also read the Holy Quran with clear interpretation\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArrest only law breakers regardless of their religion. Why arrest Muslims, Catholics, Protestants or other people? All people are good except law breakers. Stop categorising all Muslims as terrorists,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n<p>Moments before he spoke, Makindye city division mayor, Mr Ali Kasirye Nganda MulyaNyama, had asked the government to stop discrimination against Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur children make up the biggest percentage in prisons and yet their case files are not being handled compared to others. Let the Director Public .<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutions [expedite] the cases. If they have cases to answer let them be sentenced and those that are innocent released like she did with the mabati suspects (ministers and officials named in the Karamoja iron sheets theft scandal),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are Muslims, but just like other people, we commit crimes. Our dismay is at the way security officials manhandle us during arrest. For example, how can you send a junior officer to arrest a high profile figure like Sheikh Kamoga? We deserve some respect,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The minister pledged government\u2019s support to the community and said individual officers implicated in abuses against Muslims are being dealt with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFight for Islam when someone attacks the five pillars, namely; believing in Allah, prayers [Swalat], zakat, fasting and going to Mecca. You are always blaming [President] Museveni. Has he ever stopped you from believing in one God? Did he stop you from praying? He contributes to zakat, takes Muslims to Mecca, breaks the fast of those in fasting; he is a good friend of Muslims,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Early this month, security personnel from the police and the army were reported to have staged a brutal raid on the Kawempe home of Sheikh Yunus Kamoga, the head of the Jumiat Dawatil Tabligh Al-Salafiya Muslim sect.<\/p>\n<p>The raid, in which several young men were indiscriminately clobbered with gun butts, kicked and forced to crawl over rugged concrete drew widespread condemnation from human rights defenders as unwarranted torture. Police, however, maintained that the operation aimed at stopping the alleged unlawful confinement of children and youths.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Kamoga, who spoke briefly at yesterday\u2019s prayers, also called upon the government to respect all people and only arrest wrongdoers instead of indiscriminately profiling every Muslim as a terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can work together and build our country together. You all know what is going on which I won\u2019t repeat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Last evening, police spokesperson Fred Enanga said: \u201cThe protocol is clear, police is supervised by the minister. So if he made such a comment, I cannot come out to issue a counter statement&#8230; he is the Minister for Internal Affairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Enanga has always refuted claims that Muslims are being arrested based on their religion, saying that all arrests are intelligence-led and the police\u2019s mandate is to arrest whoever investigations lead to.<\/p>\n<p>Judiciary spokesperson Jameson Karemani also denied discrimination against Muslims within the justice system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the Judiciary, we have cases of people, not cases of Muslims or any other religion. Therefore, if there are delays, they are delays like it is with cases of other people and they are caused by the known reasons &#8212; especially lack of both human and financial resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Livingstone Ssewanyana, the executive director of Foundation for Human Rights Initiative, blamed the perceived targeting of Muslims on a \u201cperception of Muslims being criminals [which] is largely an ideological fallacy because everyone is prone to commit crime\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Muslims are largely witch-hunted basically because they are &#8230; assertive. So, every time they confront the authorities, they are witch-hunted. Muslims are not criminals in their nature because Islam is all about peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
