Malawi Muslims angry after bar plays Islamic music

Angry Muslims in Malawi stormed a drinking joint in Chinsapo in Lilongwe on Monday, demanding the bar owner to stop playing Islamic music.

Angry Muslims in Malawi stormed a drinking joint in Chinsapo in Lilongwe on Monday, demanding the bar owner to stop playing Islamic music.

According to Daudi Lulanga, one of the Muslims leaders in the area, the Muslims invaded Chifwafwifwa Pub because they heard Islamic music and Qur’an recordings coming from the bar.

The angry Muslims forced the bar owner to stop playing the Qur’an recordings and Islamic songs saying he was tarnishing the image of Islam.

The dispute was reported to Chinsapo Police Unit and officers went to the bar and cooled down the Muslims.

The law enforcers also forced the bar owner known as Chifwafwifwa to delete all Islamic files from his laptop.

The police then assured the Muslim community in the area that they will conduct a campaign to tell all bar owners not to play any Islamic related items in their bars.

Chifwafwifwa has since apologized to the Muslim community in the area for tarnishing the image of Islam.
