I have interviewed the Chief Imam in the past and find him to be a man of peace. He represents what true Islamic teachings are about. Give him the space to speak and speak more and aloud.

I don't usually comment, but I wonder why some people never think through before commenting? Do you mean everything Islamic is satanic? I bet to differ. In every society, there are good and bad people alike. The over generalization is what is worrying me. I want to believe that there are equally good and bad christians. The chief imam is admonishing his followers to promote peace by taking concrete steps towards that and also be weary of foreigners especially those that have links with bokoharam and alqaida. What satanic about that? Please, grow up ok!

It is a fact that the Saudi Arabian version of islam is what has produced many of the terrorist groups we are being causioned against. Imagine how this same chief imam and his community will react if gov't decides to bar future islamic preachers from receiving traing from Saudi Arabia. Mind you, the agitations and irrational demands from the muslim community we see these days are as a result of the influence of the numerous Saudi trained clerics.

I always admire this chief imam all though am Christian. what I see in Islam is love and they don't play with their religion because of respect and committed they have rather than my own religion. Christians have to learn a lot from them. people goes to church with tight dress, showing off their massive Ass, revealing their breast and high hill shoes just to confuse men.

They cheat for their children to get the best schools, they steal and connive with top people, they give jobs to only christians and their hatred towards muslims is unequivocally destructive.

I am bringing this forward for our christian brethren who continue to misquote what the prophet Muhammed (SAW)has said about racism! I sincerely believe that religion should be of who has utmost faith not who is red , white black, brown, caucasian, latino, Pakistani, Chinese etc. As for advanced development in terms of technology, the whites were not the first and won't be the last to dominate technology. It is going to be a matter of time, I believe Africa will go beyond providing electricity for all and atll times! BTW it is not only Africa that cannot constantly provide electricity for all the people.

this chief Imam is of a diffrence... I have read and follow his comments and i should say he is a fearful Man of God. most often, if not careful such leadership are those who engages the "flocks" to cause mayhem but he is a good man. recently when there was plenty of noise that the churches were frustrating moslems, he came forward and said that there no attacks to the moslem community and all that... he has a certain demeanour and we all have to learn from him. I pray that when in the future he is no more, God will give us( to my moslem friends and ghana) a person deserving of the position. I PRAY FOR HIM.
