Lets not beat around the bush and call a spade a spade , since the so called fake revolution of JJ we now have his legacy of the islamization of the country , tribal politics camouflaged by so called fake socialism , corruption fueled by the desire to undermine the Akan economy , brother hate and despise brother because of pepeni/ayigbe anti Akan agendas. Travel around the country and you will notice in every town village or hamlet a mosque and NDC banners / billboards all over the place. In some hamlets there are not even toilets , schools , clinics but yet a mosque has been placed there like a quiet insidious malignant cancer spreading all over the country through the pro Palestinian , pro Taliban politics of JJ and his ayigbe idiots, so we know why after establishing relations with Israel was Mills murdered .These same Israelis then turn around and with their computer engineering rig the elections for the enemy all because of a few million dollars they earned. Our country has become a breeding ground for the worst kind of fanatical terrorists , our judiciary a sham , our institutions of state non functional , our economy in less than 7 years now rated junk , our oil blocks sold by pepeni/ ayigbe criminals , our industry destroyed , and them parading useless houseboys like Kofi Adams , Ahwois , PVs, Nketia etc as leaders of the Akans? We are on a roller coaster ride to political violence that will end up in ethnic war and conflict with the NDC hoping that the Fantis will join them to kill their brothers the TWI speakers but they forget war breeds new leaders and are led by intellectuals will can never allow that to happen , For centuries our fathers rejected this Islam (and their desire to enslave the blackman) as though originally God's word has now become so perverse by the interpretations of the wicked Arabs and pepeni. Today we have a pepeni president who claims to be a christian but intimately remains a muslim with 17 children and 11 wives , his children have Muslim names and choose to go to be educated in Dubai as every weekend their Alajihs carry their loot there. We have a cabinet heavily lopsided in favor of Muslims northerners , ewes and other non Akans yet they ask we trust them and accept them . The few Akans they have are cowards and wimps who would sell their own mothers for glorified titles and monies but are totally corrupt incompetent empty barrels. Yes they have brought war unto our heads but its a blessing in disguise as it now gives us the opportunity to clean up this mess and form our own new country without this pepeni/ayigbe evil bmenace

Ghana is a secular state, we are free to practice whatever religion we choose. Furthermore defining our politics on religious and tribal basis, undermines some very relevant facts you have raised.

The Hajj board should account for those 29 missing. Are they Muslims were they not using the pilgrimage as a spring board to enter into other countries? Those missing are likely to be those boys who want to join the ISIS. The Hajj board should let Ghanaians know their names.

The first report said all Ghanaians were safe. How come that we are now getting such frightening figures of casualties and missing ones?

“O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you….A people asked such before you; then they became thereby disbelievers.” (Qur’an 5:101-102)

Such a passage hardly inculcates a spirit of free inquiry and intellectual curiosity. And this is the wave of the future: since the Western government and media elites are now dedicated to avoiding offending Muslims at all costs, and even asking theological questions can offend Muslims, we all just must accept the dictates of our new overlords without question. Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail should have known better.
“For seeking answers on Islam, Muslim gets charged with blasphemy,” by Zurairi Ar, Malay Mail Online, May 29, 2015:
KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 — “I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,” is the first part of the shahadah, a declaration of faith for Muslims, which has its origins in a verse in the Quran.
“I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God,” is the second part, but unlike the first, it does not appear in any of the holy scriptures.
So, where did it come from?
This was the question on the mind of Wan Sulaiman Wan Ismail, 53, when he sought clarification in 2013 from religious teachers on the origin of a practice considered as one of the key pillars of Islam.
The former businessman from Perak said he raised that question to several religious teachers, including scholars in the Ipoh mufti office, the Perak religious authorities and even state mosque imams. Many of these clerics, he said, were familiar with him as he met with them regularly for the past 15 years.
None, however, were able to answer him, so Wan Sulaiman stopped asking a year later.
But for seeking answers, Wan Sulaiman earned the attention of the Perak Islamic Religious Department (JAIP). He was summoned several times in 2014 by the authority, whose officers he claimed tried to dissuade him from posing his questions and to convince him to abandon several Quranic practices he has adopted.
The matter came to a head on January 21 this year when state religious enforcers raided his home in Ipoh and confiscated his handwritten personal notes, in addition to screening his personal computer and mobile phone.
On the same day, Wan Sulaiman was charged in the Ipoh Shariah High Court under Section 15 of the Perak Shariah Criminal Enactment 1992, with “mocking, ridiculing or insulting Quranic or hadith texts”.
According to a copy of his charge sheet sighted by Malay Mail Online, the Perak religious enforcers claimed that Wan Sulaiman possessed notes, some of which were hung on his wall, that allegedly “ridicule” the hadith — the collections of Prophet Muhammad’s sayings and deeds.
Wan Sulaiman, however, insisted that the notes were meant only for his personal use.
The prosecution also accused him of disputing authentic hadith for failing to interpret the Quran, and of rejecting the shahadah as taught by Muhammad by allegedly only accepting the first part.
He was also accused of translating the terms “fajar prayers” and “wusto prayers” by “using his own intellect without referring to the Prophet’s hadith”.
His case was set to be heard on May 21, but it was postponed to July 2. If guilty, Wan Sulaiman can be fined not more than RM5,000, jailed not more than three years, or both….
