The Church had no urge to see Islam flourish nor did it desire to see the government redress the colonial legacy to enable Muslims share power with Christians. The Church decided to have its own strategy to counter these new mass mobilisation development efforts by Daa’wat Islamiyya under Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir and the EAMWS under its Patron the Aga Khan to ensure its hegemony in post – colonial Tanganyika. Sheikh Hassan bin Amir’s first displeasure with the government was in 1961.
Alipokuwa Tanganyika alifanya kazi kubwa sana ya kusomesha na ilipoundwa Jumuia ya Waislamu wa Afrika ya Mashariki “The East African Muslim Welfare Society” (EAMWS) iliyokuwa chini ya ulezi wa kiongozi Mohammed El Husaini Aga Khan iliyoasisiwa katika mwaka wa 1945, Sheikh Hassan bin Ameir alikuwa katika washauri wakuu wa jumuia hii na kusimama kwa jumuia ilikuwa kutoakana na mchango wake mkubwa wa kifikra na uongozi.
