  Hmmnn! In Ghana----SOCCER, RELIGION and POLITICS----by all account are what we are all passionate about----of the three --SOCCER is the main one that binds us together most ----Politics ---at times foolishly division is felt ---Religion , I will say even there is a hint of division it isn't so much a case of Christianity vrs. Muslim FAITH---HOWEVER , among the Muslims there is sometimes minor conflicts between a two Moslem faction -----Religious harmony I boldly declare exists in GHANA overall ----Christian can marry Muslim ---just as a Catholic can even marry a Pentecost church member ---or even among 'unbelievers '
  So whatever the matter be --in Ghana we are not fanatical re our RELIGIOUS FAITH------as exists in other Countries.--for in GHANA WE ALL TAKE PART joyfully in all Christian festivals and equally we all likewise join in Muslim festivals.----FINALLY --why should even some Christian Religious Leaders be alluding to GHANA becoming an ISLAMIC Nation------why should there be a fear that IF a first gentleman of the land is elected ---then GHANA shall become an ISLAMIC State . Get it right --no misinformation and disinformation shall gain ground.

  BAWUMIA being of the MUSLIM FAITH ---should not prevent him from visiting Church Houses ---Remember the Chief IMMAN had on an occasion attended a service at the HOLY CATHEDRAL at ASYMUM -DOWN in ACCRA. --Late Popes of the Catholic Church and even the present POPE has call for unity between the ISLAMIC FAITH & the CHRISTIAN FAITH.------So stop these un-necessary mischief on Religious matters.

  What's happening at Wesley girls is wrong. No Christian can go to the zongo with the Christian message in their school. They called it in their language taboo or curse. So why tried to dictate to Christian schools.

  Your hesitation probably was worth it because you bring virtually no added value to the discourse. Religious freedom does not mean practice of faith without rules and regulations. If you go to Muslim countries so much noise is made to announce the five prayer times. In Ghana that constitutes breaking the noise nuisance law. Catholics pray 7x per day, but no Catholic school in Ghana has a daily regimen incorporating the prayer times. Pourquoi? Because it impracticable. If a Muslim in a Christian school has to fast who is going to ensure that that student eats a healthy hot meal at 5 am to ensure he doesn't collapse during the day and who is again going to ensure the appropriate foods are available to break the fast? Who exercises oversight? School rules are designed to make schools governance, not to discriminate against anyone. If you can't think laterally please keep your your views to yourself. Your caption itself is very divisive.

  You don't make any sense to our ardent readers. If a Muslim wants to fast in a Christian mission school, they don't need the school to provide them meal for their fasting. What are you afraid of to let the Muslims practice their faith at the schools? Meanwhile in some of such schools non Christians are compelled to observe christian worship. Frankly speaking, some of the Christian mission schools are accommodating to non Christian students. You and the Wey Gey Heys must have a second thought, because you are losing it!
