‘We need to learn Arabic quickly, so we could better understand the religion and teach it to you, and return you to it’
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has said that he shunned an offer by Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed to build an Islamic centre in the east African country by telling him that he had “lost” his religion.
Ahmed recalled the conversation with bin Zayed, who is considered the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates, in a speech to members of the American-Ethiopian Muslim community in the US state of Virginia on Friday.
"We will help you with many things. We will teach you,” bin Zayed allegedly said in a private conversation with Ahmed, who said he replied: “We don’t need to learn the religion from you. You’ve lost the religion. What we need is to learn Arabic quickly, so we could better understand the religion and teach it to you, and return you to it.”
When bin Zayed asked him why, Ahmed said that Islam is about peace, unlike what is happening in the Middle East.
“You have lost the religion,” Ahmed said he told the crown prince.
“The Islam that does not look like true Islam has begun spreading amongst you, and you have forgotten peace and how to forgive."

Truth this tippy cuz lupe new album has this track… And lupe know this the shit he alludes… Keeping and understanding the truth
He is a genius, he started by uniting them.
Then this crown prince wanted to start mining gold there and was told to instead build a factory where residents will be mining themselves and sell there, he had no choice but to agree.
He will take Ethiopia to the next level.
Ethiopia is a great CHRISTIAN country and to be very honest I prefer chrsitians over those muslims any day. Islam is a religion going out with a bang. christianity is going out with a whimper, but slowly. Even people who have never been to church identify as christians or being of christian background.
