It is legally wrong for any institution, whether private or public, that receives any form of support from the government to discriminate against any ghanaian based on religion. If the school is WHOLLY funded by the SDA church without any government support, then it has the fight to run the school how tgey feel fit. Even in that situation, the institution still has to abide by the basic human rights enshrined in the constitution of Ghana. Christian and Muslim institutions have to be made to comply with the laws in GHANA, and I expect the Ministry of Education to take a tough stance on this. These should be dragged through the legal system to serve as a deterrent.

I am a Catholic parent in Kumasi and know that AMASS is a very good school, but to avoid corrupting my children's faith i will NEVER send my child to that school. I belief our muslem brothers and sisters MUST put this at the back of their minds. They can't use their 'patapa' to intimidate anybody. If they adopt suicide killing we will face them.
I advice all church-based educational institutions to scrutinise every applicant thoroughly before admission. All other christian instituions of learning MUST follow the example of the SDA.

Who is Allah? The name “Allah” appears long before Muhammad conceived of Islam and began his violent “crusade” across Arabia in the early seventh century, massacring unbelievers and conquering their lands. Archeological inscriptions with the name “Allah” abound in pre-Islamic Arabia. Allah was one of almost 400 deities, demons or jinns that the pagan Arabs revered. In pre-Islamic Mecca, Allah was the chief deity among several worshipped at the famous Black Stone or Cube, known in Arabic as the Ka’abah, and at numerous such similar stone sites of pagan worship in Arabia. In fact, Muhammad’s non-Muslim father was named Abdallah, “slave of Allah,” which in this case is the pre-Islamic, Arab pagan god. There is some debate as to whether Allah was the moon-god worshipped by Arabs, though this is denied vociferously by Muslims.
It would appear then that Allah “converted” to Islam when Muhammad co-opted him from his pagan neighbors. Several other pagan practices from pre-Islamic Arab culture, including the Hajj or pilgrimage to Mecca, venerating the Ka’abah, the ritual of stoning three pillars representing the devil, and more were likewise incorporated. These elements are still found in Islam today.
That major features of Islam, especially the central deity, originate in a pagan milieu is quite a compelling reason for rejecting the idea of Allah being the same as the God of the Bible. But there is an even more fundamental issue from a Jewish perspective which makes Allah very dissimilar from God.
God’s true nature
Monotheistic belief is not an automatic ticket to Jewish acceptance by biblical standards. Indeed, Jews already rejected one previous form of monotheism as pagan. Though the Greek philosophers paid lip service to the gods of the Hellenistic pantheon, several (including Aristotle, Plato) posited a Prime Cause (a single, first energy, wisdom or god) as the origin of the cosmos.
Hellenistic culture found many ad-mirers among the ancient Jews. But the rabbis rejected Greek philosophical monotheism as contrary to the Torah because it misrepresented God’s true nature; they deemed the Prime Cause unbiblical, that is, pagan. According to the philosophers, their “god” was a transcendent force that “created” the universe, but thereafter did not manage it. He was a non-caring, non-loving, completely uninvolved maker. He rolled out the balls that are the planets and stars and walked away. There was no divine providence whatsoever. That was enough reason to reject Greek monotheism.
In the Bible, God is not so transcendent as to be uninvolved. From the very beginning, God was always involved in the affairs of His universe and in human history. He guides nature, the destinies of nations and of individuals. Sometimes He even directs their hearts and minds. He speaks with them or sends them messengers, angels. The rabbis stated that God was even concerned with the fate of every little bird, something reiterated by Jesus (Matt. 10:29). No one stubs a toe without God allowing it. God’s supervision (called hashgachah in Hebrew) was evident on the macro and micro levels.
The rabbis labeled fellow Jews who adopted the Greek notion of a single spiritual creator who did not interact with man “Epicureans” (after the Greek philosopher Epicurus) or in Hebrew “Epikursim.” That word became a catch-all term for Jewish heretics till today.
Allah differs from God
Just as the monotheistic Greeks erred regarding God’s nature, so also the Muslims. Islamic tradition attributes 99 names to Allah, each describing a different characteristic. One of the names is The Loving One. But throughout the Quran, Allah seems anything but loving (and then, according to Muslim commentaries, only towards Muslims). In fact, Allah’s pervasive characteristics in the Quran are that he is judging, reckoning, vengeful, wrathful. A constant theme throughout is the punishment of non-Muslims, their consignment to Hell and torment.
Though Allah is also referred to as The Merciful One and Forgiving One, frequently he seems to be the opposite. “Whether you [Muhammad] ask forgiveness for them [hypocrites] or ask not forgiveness for them, and even if you ask seventy times for their forgiveness, Allah will not forgive them….” (Surah 9:80). The Quran does not provide the proofs that Allah loves the world or that he is merciful. Rather, Allah is an angry, punishing master.
The loving Father
God’s nature in Jewish and Christian faith is that of a loving father. We are His children. He is kind. He loves us, corrects us, provides for us, protects us. He even feels our suffering (note Isa. 63:8-9). And though His punishment can be severe, His patience, faithfulness, mercy and forgiveness are evident throughout the Bible. He has a close relationship with individuals and a unique, intimate relationship with His Chosen People. Both Jews and Christians pray to God with these words: “Our Father Who is in Heaven.” God loves the world.
By contrast, nothing in Islamic tradition, least of all the Quran, suggests that Allah is a loving, caring father. Indeed, the mere suggestion of the Fatherhood of God to a Muslim will frequently elicit an angry and absolute rejection. The only fathers Muslims acknowledge are their biological ones.
The gap between God and Allah is great. In fact, it is no less than the one between God and the Greek Prime Cause.It is facile to assume, as some interfaith dialogists do, that Abraham’s biological son Ishmael, the progenitor of the Arabs, transmitted Abraham’s faith to the Muslims. At some point, Ishmael’s descendants abandoned the faith of Abraham and became pagans. Islam, despite its monotheism, retains substantial elements of paganism.
Abraham is a champion of faith to both Jews and Christians. Unlike the ubiquitous idol worship of his society and even his own family, he believed in the One true God. Neither a philosophy of appeasement, nor one of syncretism, not even one of interreligious dialogue, marked Abraham’s beliefs. It was his unadulterated faith that set him apart and precisely why God chose him to be the channel of blessings for the world. The hackneyed universalization of “Abrahamic faith” is, in fact, contrary to that for which Abraham stands.

ISLAM allows Holy lies to be used to propagate Islam.It is called Taqqiyya. Read the following:
1)THE TRINITY
Christians are surprised to discover in Suras 5:119, 4:171 and 5:75-76 that the Trinity comprises God, Mary and Jesus. This thought is foreign to every Christian and the Bible, but no doubt finds its origin in the veneration of Mary as "The Mother of God" by the Catholic Church.
2)THE VIRGIN MARY
Christians read with surprise in Sura 19:28-29 that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a sister of Aaron. Learned men of Islam, who are aware that between Miriam, the sister of Aaron, and Miriam or Mary, the mother of Jesus there is a gap of 1500 years, try to persuade us that Mary had a brother, who also happened to be an Aaron. We reject this possibility, because she is also described as the daughter of Imram (Sura 66:12), the Amram of Exodus 6:20. He was indeed the father of Aaron, Moses and Miriam. Besides that, Jelalood Deen has stated that Mary's mother was Hannah. The one who was mentioned in 1 Samuel, chapters 1-2, and who lived about a 1000 years before her "daughter".
All this is a hopeless mix-up of historical events and no argument will convince one that in fact the Quran is right and the Christian have changed their Bibles, as in fact claimed by the Muslims.
"The Gospel of James", another Apocryphal book, was the source of the report that as a girl, Mary lived in the Temple, receiving food from the Angels and that Joseph was chosen to be her husband by miraculous rods (Sura 3:35-36 and 42-47).
3)THE HOLY SPIRIT
Jesus is called the Spirit of God in the Quran. This could be tolerable in the light of Christian doctrine, but in Sura 61:6 we read:
"Jesus son of Mary said ...'I am indeed the messenger of God to you, conforming the Torah that is before me, and giving good tidings of a messenger who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.'"
This false concept has been refuted already in "Christians answer Muslims" p. 118.
4)THE MIRAJ
is the reported ascent of Mohammed to the seventh Heaven after a miraculous night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem on a "horse" called Buraq. This story is related to us in Sura 17. More detail is furnished in the "Mishkat". We can trace this story back to a fictitious book called the "Testament of Abraham"(B.C. 200), which was written in Egypt and then translated into Greek and Arabic.
5)THE CAVE OF SEVEN SLEEPERS
is a story related to us in Sura 18:9-26. It is not difficult to detect its striking resemblance to a book called the "Story of Martyrs" by Gregory of Tours. It is a legendary tale of Christians under persecution who fell asleep in a cave for 200 years. In the Quran, this period was prolonged to 309 years.
