Ghana has to be careful and ready to tackle this religious malaise. It's a wake up call. I hope people won't come in here to have a laugh and ridicule anyone. It's all hands on deck issue here.

We need to create jobs for our youths to do or else the devil could find a job for them.
There's no different between young people taking risk in the desert and on the Mediterranean sea knowing the could die in the desert or in the sea trying to reach Europe, and these new phenomenon of joining IS.

These few ones are the ones we know because they made us know about them.
But what about the youths taking to the sahara desert going north Africa, are all of them going Europe or some finding their way to IS?
And are they going to be trained and then released as toxic back into our midst? And are we ready to spot them if they're back?

BNI the challenge is now yours. We have a common enemy. No more NPP/NDC politics.

Elinam, you're talking like an irresponsible, irredeemable, senseless individual. ISIS is not promising a job in Syria, except if you view the killings happening there is a kind of job for the perpetrators. On the contrary, the people going across the desert and across the sea are people going to look for a job. We have never for once seen a family member "in a state of mourning" because their ward started such a journey. Why do you Elinam try to compare such people to those going to join Isis?
If I belonged to any movement for which I should bring out the dishonesty in me just to defend it, even my sinful conscience will condemn me endlessly. I would have to advise myself. Are some Muslims like Elinam so helpless? And hopeless?
Why does anyone blame joining Isis is the result of joblessness? Why are only Muslims joining them? Most of us can start some job of a sort. We all want to be hired by the government with Geography and Rural Development certificates!

Whatever happens, this young man will likely die in Syria. If he comes back home, there will be no welcoming party for him. If you join a group that murders people because they don't share your religion, you must be prosecuted, if not, then you might as well strike murder off from being a crime in Ghana.

life is hard in Ghana. It has been so for a while. But I can tell you my parents had to go to farm before going to school everyday bare-footed. You simply cannot justify two wrongs. I am not saying Ghanaians have to settle for poor governance. Not at all. What I need to let you understand is, two wrongs will never produce any good results. A civilized society utilizes dialogue, wisdom and negotiations to achieve sustained progress.

I couldn't agree more with Efo. Besides every Ghanaian must make it their duty to keep an eagle eye on their Muslim neighbours, at all times. Ghanaians must report any suspicious behavior by any Muslims to the police.

If this guy worked at Statistical Department prior to his joining ISIS, then l am afraid he might stolen some vital statistics about Ghana and may probably leak it to the diabolical group. Let's remember that he studied Geography and rural development so he knows the nook and cranny of Ghana's landscape. He said he lied to please his "ALLAH". Wow! Is that what the Muslim Allah requires from his followers? I don't mean any offense. I'm just curios so nobody should pound on me for asking a legitimate question.

How did we get this far? Politics and greed.Blame it all on JJ Rawlings.For decades christians/Muslims in Ghana co-existed with no problem. In fact we attended same christiam schools with our muslim friends.We said the same prayer at school without knowing what we were talking about.X'mas they ate in our places .We ate in their places to what we believed was muslim x'mas...without knowing the difference. Of course there was just Christmas/boxing holiday for the entire country.For political expediency, JJ created aside these holidays, muslim holidays in the entire country....to "pacify" the minority muslim community in the country.Of course they were overjoyed but he had created an awareness, a strong divide and the understanding that there were 2 blocks of religion.He succeeded even in dividing us all on tribal lines, something that never crossed our minds growing up as a child. So with the upsurge of quack religious groups preaching nonsense in every corner of our streets, the divide became much wider and more pronounced.So Muslim students began to demand the right to religion in Christian schools and the resultant and continuous denials would create this sense of confusion and seeming neglect in the minds of these students. The results we are beginning to witness now.Religion therefore should have no place in the running of government. Of course religious bodies have the right to set up their own schools guided by their own beliefs.We have failed as a nation and its high time our political leaders woke up and stopped this political correctness.I would personally not want to vote for any person who strongly and openly associate themselves with any religious grouping.It feels fanatic to me.

Why couldn't he joined the group when he was working? he just join because, he has finished his service and there was no job for him. Devil they say find work for the idle hand. Leadership of the country should rather think of how they could create jobs for the youth and stop this useless investigation which will also adds some cost to the nation. I,m sensing more people would join him if he start revealing the benefits he receives. I believe he has school and Muslim friends, then, Government should be proactive about the moved by the Nasir else Ghana will be in trouble in the next few years.

Our Muslim brothers are not helping.Visit any Muslim home or rent a house from a Muslim.They are thinking of converting you.Listern to their preachers they are always critical of Christianity.Same parents were demonstrating against religious school for asking their wards to join mourning devotion.l hear his parents on city news asking for him.A research conducted in UK.indicates of these lsis mentality all started from home.Example is the 3girls who joined lsis.Their parents lead a religious demonstration.This is why national identification system is very important.This will help stop a lot of security issues.Muslims in Ghana should start preaching and educating their family about christianty and stop trying to convert christians locally or else a lot of their kids will travel them and we don't need them back in Ghana
