The way Muslims dress and perform their daily prayers shows that they are satisfied with their faith,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Baryomunsi noted that some of the believers in other religions are not pleased to expose their faith in public and they end up making things otherwise because they fear others to see them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a Christian man I found in a restaurant but he used his feet to make the cross before eating food for fear of being seen, but Muslims have a sense of deep spirituality, they perform their daily prayers without fear,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Baryomunsi also urged Muslims to practice their faith freely saying the National Resistance Movement (NRM) does not only believe in freedom of worship but also promotes it.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Aminah Zawedde, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of ICT and National Guidance urged Muslims to use the holy month of Ramadhan to reflect on God\u2019s mercy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIslam teaches us to be peaceful and we should reflect on this because this is the very reason we have Ramadhan every year,\u201d Zawedde said.<\/p>\n<p>She also noted that all entities which are under the ICT ministry are aiming to improve people\u2019s lives through different means of communication. She encouraged the staff of her ministry to lead by example.<\/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.
