It is not mandatory for Christians to embark on pilgrimage to Israel? If Muslims are doing it must Christians do it? We should know why Muslims embark on pilgrimage to Mecca every year. It is because Satan is right there in Mecca and so they have to be there to stone Satan who has infected Arabs with wickedness and barbarism. Do you also know why Muslims pray facing one particular direction? It is because Allah is a territorial god and not omnipresent as some want us to believe. So you see, Christians don't need to be in a Holy Land to worship Jesus because Jesus is omnipresent and omniscience.
Look, let me ask Ghanaians one question; who is going to pay the $21.0M debt incurred by organizers of last year's Hajj. It is Ghana Government of course. Why are Muslims fond of using lies (Taqqiyya/Kitman) to defend Islam by saying that Ghana government only facilitates pilgrimage to Mecca. Another question is, who facilitates Muslim American pilgrims to Mecca even though they number about 12,000 every year? I know Muslims in Ghana cannot answer this last question because they are mischievous.

Leave the government alone. They think they can fool every one. It is pure politics they are playing with the Christian pilgrimage as some of the pastors involved in this pilgrimage, of course, are on their pay rolls.

This is unfairness in the highest order. As a nation we cannot support Muslims minority against the Christian majority. Why should the government pay for Muslims' pilgrimage to Mecca, buy provisions for their private fasting and also allot government land as a Hajj village. Contributors attacking only Christian pilgrimage should argue same against the Hajj to balance the equation of sponsorship.

It's all about Pay-time for Rev Owusu Bemba. He is the one wriggling the president's mind.

Unfortunate, reckless, and irresponsible act. This is not the change we asked for. Another promotion of Jewish culture with our scant resources? Shameful, and regrettable to say the least. You can not promote your people to go to Awukugua, the birth place of Anokye Komfour? Really?

Ghana has important Christian centers such as the Apostles' Continuation Church in DuaYaw Nkwanta and the famous Ahwia Mountains that attract 1000s of visitors from Europe and North America. Why is the government investing in such places by providing roads, places of convenience, hostels, etc, to attract more visitors and boost foreign income generation to the country.

The national airport at Tamale was converted to an international airport with government funds for the sake of Islamic pilgrimage. What is wrong with the government helping Christian pilgrimage ?

WHAT GOV'T WANTS TO DO IS UNNECESSARY! A PILGRIMAGE IS AN INDIVIDUAL MATTER, SO GOV'T HAS NO BUSINESS IN IT. THIS IS ANOTHER AVENUE FOR MINISTERS TO CHOP MONEY. CHRISTIANS DO NOT NEED STATE-SPONSORED RELIGIOUS EXERCISES, OR FOOD OR ANYTHING FOR PERFORMING RELIGIOUS DUTIES. WE HAVE RESOURCES FOR THAT. WE DO NOT DEPEND OR BEG FOR SUCH THINGS

Akwesi Agbesi or whatever u call yourself. A non Muslim has made a comment about Christianity why drag Islam into this? Why do u make comments based on complete falsehood & ignorance? Why are u spreading such lies? If u one day for example get to know that even Arab Christians call God Allah are u going to ask God for forgiveness for demeaning & bringing His name into disrepute? Allah is only an Arabic name for God. He is called God in English. Dios in Spanish. Dieu in French etc. I'm quite certain what u have in ur skull is full of STONES instead of BRAIN. U don't seem to reason or think right. Ur comment is full of ignorance & lies.

I understand your comment but why do you always have to pray to allah in Arabic language ? why do u use allah when speaking English? why do Moslems say allah bless you instead of God bless you ? what about your own twi, dagomba, hausa, Ga, ewe etc language ? can't allah understand our mother tongues ? if you believe allah created all men but decreed that you pray to him 5x daily in someone's language but not your language don't you think your allah made you inferior to the arabs ?

True Ghana man I like the way u make ur comments devoid of insults. It shows a very mature person. However, it's not true that we say all our prayers in Arabic. Saying those prayers in Arabic does not in any way make us inferior to the Arabs. The salat or canonical prayers said in Arabic are mainly to avoid confusion among the congregants so that even if one finds himself in China he would be able to follow the congregants with ease. Arabs are just lucky that the Quran was revealed in Arabic & Prophet Mohammed was also an Arab. Do we say that since geographically almost all the prophets known in the Bible are light skinned, do we therefore say that Blacks are inferior to whites & that God has done injustice to Blacks or prefer light skinned over darker skin? U can't question God in the way He executes His affairs
