Malawi: Muslims riot and target liquor shops because they objected to alcohol being sold.

(Mangochi)  Gangs of Muslims in Malawi felt so offended over the selling of alcohol in the their town where they live ,that they decided to take matters into their own hands and proceeded to smash up a number of bars. Not only that but they demanded that those who sell alcohol do so from their own area, obviously referring to areas where non-Muslims live and work. Not only that but the town is something of a tourist destination due to the views over the lake, So the bars are there for a good reason a place for visitors to spend money.

But here’s the catch Malawi is predominantly Christian with around 87% of the population being so, Muslims on the otherhand represent around 11% of the population.  Police have arrested 15 bigots and them charged them with malicious damage and inciting violence.
