[ You may need some paracetamol and naproxen to understand this linguist jingoism in this article] 

Ironically , the expiration of Michelle Amuli was used as a symbolic conduit pipe to decipher / demystify the mythologies surrounding the monotheistic Abrahamic religion- Islam. 

Historically , the generality of Zimbabweans have always conceptualized Islam through a prism polluted with fear , suspicion , superstition and more disturbingly as a religion that uses sorcery and violence . Consequently, if you historicize and contextualize the historicity of Muslims living in Zimbabwe , it is  a history of a people misunderstood . They were conceptualized as manipulators who mendaciously use their sophism as infrastructures of domination particularly against women . 

In fact , due to the complexities , misconceptions and the inevitable internet brouhaha that engulfed the nation,  the intervention of jurisprudence was sought . At the epicenter of the brouhaha was the misconception on the monotheistic Abrahamic religion - Islam . The Islamic misconceptions among Zimbabweans emanated from the ecclesiology ( Mosques) , christology( Mohammad) and more importantly in this particularity the eschatology ( death and how it is administratively executed the Muslim way).

Genius Gnimbi Kadungure 

Schizophrenically , the generality of Zimbabweans conceptualized Islam with suspicion due to the lack thereof knowledge on it . I got my Damascus moment when the elders eloquently deciphered ecclesiastically , and more importantly eschatologically the mythologies surrounding the monotheistic Abrahamic religion of Islam . 

Life is a learning curve . Don’t be education- proof . Analogously, a mind is like a parachute it works well when it’s open .
