  Somewhere this year, Muslims in Ghana went berserk and demand that they wear the hijab or burka as part of their religious principles. There was a hectic debate on this and while others treating it with kids gloves, some urged the Muslims to insist on it because we have freedom of worship in Ghana.
  
  Now, the interesting aspect of the hijab or burka saga is that, Muslims have been living in Ghana and have mingled with their Christian brothers and sister for a while without this hijab or burka so, what changed the equation?
  
  That was the time our security agencies should have delved deep into it to find our what is pushing them to such extreme. I remember saying that I suspect some foreign influence but as an ordinary man, what can I do.
  
  We should be proactive if only we are interested in finding out the truth about ISIS recruiting some of our Muslims brothers to fight for Allah.

  people with shallow minds usually jump to conclusion without deep reflections on the issue at stake. for how long have islam and muslims been part of ghanaian sociry? how many muslims from ghana have joined the group as compared with US or UK nationals? just becose one muslim is reported to have joined them all muslims are bad. why don t you look at the issue from individual point of view? try something silly with islam and ghana shall never know peace again.

  ..Christianity also preaches peace but what's the LRA's rebels not done to northern Ugandans under the guise that they want to uphold d 10 commandments of Moses?? What abt d Thamil tigers? ..let's separate d hidden motives of these self seeking groups from the divine mandate of Islam and Christianity..

  Abraham religions are a Club of Damocles hanging over the head of mankind. We wrote the other time that this carnage started with the west establishing Pakistan and Israel through the force of religious terror, which are enforcing the right of others to use religious terror against others for economic exploitation. Theists most of the time try unsuccessfully whitewash their invented consciousness. They are forcing their illusions on society with the lie of they been without blemish, humane, democratic and most of all dignified. But the Abram religions have committed genocide against humanity more than any other religion. The old testament which is copied by Islam is full of genocide against people committed by people who call themselves the children of God. "Religion in particular is nothing more than human creation with its own social origins and consequences: it gives expression to human suffering without offering any relief from it by disguising its genuine sources in social and economic injustices. Religious suffering is, at the same time, the expression of real suffering and protest against suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of the heartless world, and the soul of the soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as illusory happiness if the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusion about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusion. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of the vale of tears of which religion is the halo". Karl Marx "Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right". "But, man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man - state, society. This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d'honeur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification. It is the fantastic realization of human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore indirectly the struggle against the world whose spiritual aroma is religion".

  U can't even stop armed robbery and petty crimes in Ghana and yet any platform u get, u talk about fighting terrorism. Has Ghana suffered any form of terrorism? And do u have what it takes to fight terrorism? Go and ask the Americans . U are rather attracting the attention of these guys and making Ghana a target with your reckless and thoughtless utterances which is only calculated to please your bosses, the Americans and the Europeans .
