Prophet mohammed was a peadophile and a homosexual dog. Say no to islam...Allah is the devil. Qur'an is toilet paper and must burn to ashes.

I have heard about this sad story where the family curses by a certain man and this keeps happening to the individual on this family. Sorry but try consulting a man of God for spiritual breakthrough. May God be your healer.

The story of the family is quite devastating and strange. These are the kind of sick people who need financial and health assistance and not our weird Politicians. I am not a Medical Professional and cannot figure out what caused the situation. Can the Children be flown to any Western Developed Country to see if there could be any assistance to help the Children see again. Let the Government take care of their needs. I just feel sad for them.
This should have happened to Efo Julor John Rawlings, Boakye Djan, the Tsikatas, Nkwantabisa and their corrupt cohorts who made Ghana a kind of Hell during the Rawlings AFRC nonsensical stupidities.

I am not a Moslem but a true Christian. I don’t disrespect any religious beliefs and practices so long as they don’t infringe on fundamental Human Rights and practices. My best friends were and are very true Moslems
I have studied Christianity for more than six years in my First and Second University Degrees and I have disagreements with fundamentalism in all aspects of every religion. Many Christians don’t know the harm and evil that some believers in Christianity caused to Africans and the Indians in the Americas. Many may even be annoyed and intrigued if I should say that Jesus was not a Christian. The Parents of Jesus were Jews who practiced Judaism. If we believe in the Bible, at the age of 12, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who practiced Judaism too and was baptizing people into Judaism. There was no Christianity then. If Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist who practiced, the question now is Jesus was baptized into what faith? Mary and Joseph belonged to Judaism and Jesus was only 12 years and had not started his ministry. What faith was Jesus baptized into then? Is it not Judaism? Let us be honest, objective and Spiritually blind than to appreciate that Jesus was baptized into Judaism, practiced Judaism, and taught to correct the discrepancies that have been implanted and made to grow in Judaism. After the Baptism by John the Baptist of Jesus, it cannot be found anywhere in the Bible that Jesus was baptized again. Jesus lived, and practiced Judaism. Did he not attend the Jewish Passover Festival shortly before he was arrested and crucified? Was he not at the Temple at the age of 12 teaching and explaining the Torah to the elders at the Temple? Was there any Christianity then? None of his Disciples was a Christian. They were all baptized into Judaism which was the religion of the Jews.
I don’t like it and hate it when some supposed Christians and their Ministers speak against Islam. Was Yasser Arafat not a Moslem but attended to Christian worship and observation of Christian observance of the Birth of Christ every year in Bethlehem? He had a reserved seat at the High Place whenever he attended that occasion.
Many Moslems and Christians should understand that the name and works of Jesus that Moslems call Issah are mentioned many more times in the Koran than any other person. I am a Christian but the only place I disagree with Moslems is when it comes to Islamic fundamentalism. True Moslems don’t attack and kill Christians. They don’t burn Christian Churches. We have some Moslems killing other Moslems for some stupid reasons like when their Religious Ramadan should start and end? Is it not stupid and ignorance for Islamic countries like Iran and Iraq to fight against each other for Seven Years. Look at how Moslems in Afghanistan kill each other for stupid reasons that women cannot go to school and opposite gender cannot go to school together. Truly, Islam needs to be reformed for it to be acceptable throughout the World.

The sins of their forefathers will be reviewed on their 3rd and 4th generations. Those who sinned are gone and their descendants are now suffering. Let us all learn to live a good life now.
