Chapter 1:PATRIOTISM.
Zanzibar Island found at South africa Tanzania.It is the unite of two Island Pemba and Unguja which have good environment for a living of muslim people and tourist attraction and good fertility for cultivation of different things like cloves,rice,banana and so on.I was born at Pemba island which is small Island than Unguja Island but they are both surrounded by indian ocean.
I was and I am happy to live in these two Island with kind people and well cooperated,good manners,greenish view,peace ,love and empathy were the priority of zanzibarian.Different activities is here even its a developing country but Our president Ali Hassan Mwinyi has done a lot for development like building enough schools, infrastructures and a lot that makes Zanzibar of 2024 different of when I was born.
But now as I am grown ,I understand that our country identity is under the shadow of our religion Identity of having good manners,peace,loyalty and so on but the truth is that's not real us,Now we follow the rules of 21 century not our religious cause muslims now wear pants,mini dresses,listen music and everything that is not allowed by Islam rules even not all of us, some obey islamic rules.
Some people says that ,this is caused by tourist that comes in and out which makes Zanzibarian people copy their modern style but I say that this is not true and they are not change agent but we are cause this is "who we are" ,they did that on their own admires and they like to do that.The are just following Islam and hide in cause they were born to be muslim and not because they wanted to but they can´t dare change permanent cause they afraid losing their familly,of course Zanzibarian parent can throw you out of the familly.
On my side,I was born muslim and I still need to be muslim,cause Its beneficial for me cause I can hide my body in the dresses which makes me comfortable and avoid mans harassment ,it a symbol of my humanity and I like to be muslim,even sometimes I doubt my faith and I am not completely clean but at least I don´t pretend innocent.
But inside of me,I always wish that I would born in another nation rather than Tanzania,with the same religion and same familly cause I believed its where I can succeed.This is because in modern country like america there´s equality between male and female,good environment that can prevent muddy on my feet during rain and can make me show love to rain,It can make me be what I want to be (Independent) and so on.I was expected to love my country but I only did that outside but Inside me I wanted to be somewhere else like america,korea or India.The excuse may be watching too much movies which makes me desire those countries.
So that this mean,Outside of my country is clean but deep inside you can see its dark side and this make it nearly similar to modern countries like america,korea and so on.Its like the way"people explain their selves" and the way they "Know who they are." and what they really want .
