MUSLIMS IN ETHIOPIA

LAST YEAR I HAVE VISITED ETHIOPIA FOR SEVEN DAYS TRIP. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME TO BE CLOSE TO CIVILIZED PEOPLE LIKE OUR BROTHER ETHIOPIAN PEOPLE . I NOTED THAT ALL OF THEM ARE RELIGIOUS BOTH THE MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANS . I ALSO NOTED THAT THE MUSLIMS ARE MAJORITY IN THE ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITY AND MOST OF THEM LACK THE ISLAMIC TEACHINGS AND CULTURE , NO QURRAN AND ARABIC LEARNING SCHOOLS . WHAT I'M AFRAID OF THE THE WAHAPS AND THE TERRORIST GROUPS WILL COME AND FILL THE GAPS WITH THEIR MISUNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS ( IT IS DIFFICULT EVEN TO CALL THEM ISLAMIC) . SO I CALL THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR THE SOFIA ISLAMIC SCHOOLS TO FILL THIS GAP IF THEY WANT TO STRENGTHEN THE SOCIAL LINKS BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS IN THE ETHIOPIAN COMMUNITY. ACTUALLY . NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY . ISLAM CAME TO CORRECT SOME MISUNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS IN CHRISTIANITY LIKE THEIR BELIEVE IN JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD AND HIS MOTHER AS WIFE OF GOD . THIS CONCEPT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PRINCIPLE OF (Monotheism ) . JESUS WAS A HUMAN BEING AND CREATED BY GOD FROM MOTHER AND WITHOUT FATHER , BUT HE WAS SUPPORTED BY GOD IN SURVIVING THE DEAD BODIES , AND DOING THINGS THAT BREAK THE SUPER NATURE AS ALL PROPHETS CAN DO . MOREOVER, IF HE WAS A GOD , AS THE PRESENT BROTHERS CHRISTIANS BELIEVE , HE WOULD NEVER BE KILLED OR CROSSED , BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT HE WASN'T KILLED AND NEVER CROSSED BUT ALLAH RAISED HIM TO THE HEAVEN . ALLAH ALSO TOLD US IN QURRAN THAT OUR CHRISTIANS BROTHERS AS CLOSED TO US AND WE SHOULD EXPLAIN THEM THE TRUE RELIGION AND LEAVE THEM TO CHOOSE AND WE SHOULD RESPECT THEIR CHOICE AND GIVE THEM THEIR FULL RESPECT AND RIGHTS AND ALLAH WHO WILL JUDGE BETWEEN US ON THE LAST DAY.
I HOPE TO GET REPLYS FROM OUR ETHIOPIANS BOTH MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIAN IN THIS ISSUE
