The media blackout should be sustain. Sustaining it will help douse the fire it will generate. At times, some people are expecting to hear something from the media, twist or turn it into something then go berserk or do the unthinkable.

On the other hand, Muslims have little respect for other faith. This is evident in the recent carnage being unleashed on non-Muslims living in Iraq, Libya and other places. The cordial relationship meted out to them in Ghana is due to the fact Ghanaians are tolerant and with vast Christian majority else, the story will be different.

Do Muslims respect women? No. They treat women like sub-humans and yes, I said that because I know exactly what I am talking about.

Tell the Saudi, Qatari,Kuwaiti Christians to fight for their right there or we can buy you a one-way ticket to go and fight for them .This very issue has nothing to do globally . It’s a Ghanaian issue and we are going to resolve it peacefully by the Power of The Most High . I am even sure that, if the liberals and even-minded conservatives in the west are to hear this issue, they will go berserk on these mission schools and their Christian council , and for a professor like Kwame Akoampa-Ahoofe Jnr , who knows the importance of education and knows how Boko Haram was nurtured to side with the Christian council and spew this garbage, it’s absurd. Prof. we are Ghanaian Muslims fighting for our rights.Take it or go to hell

What does inter-faith marriage got to do with the issue in discussion Prof? It’s laughable anytime my “ HONEY “ Christian friends touch on this issue, Are these not the women you ridicule , are these not the women who wear hijab,barka , cover their head etc that you so much hate? What it is? Are Christian women not good enough ? Why are you losing sleep over this issue?

It will interest Ghanians to know that Christians have more MPs in the north(Upper East+ Upper West+Northern Regions). In relative terms Christian MPs constitute 54% and in absolute terms there are 31 Christian MPs out of a total of 57 Mps from the North. This is contrary to the notion that northerners are Muslims.

This was the news all over Ghana and you pretend you don't know about Muslims threatening the then Upper East Regional Minister to build Bolga Central Mosque for them? I don't want to believe you are hiding some where in Afghanistan receiving terrorist training and so you don't know what is happening in Ghana. Anyway, what about Muslims asking the GSS to massage census figures? I challenge you to comment on that.

...Islam cannot survive without political/government intervention. That is how feeble and cheap that religion is.
Muslims want Ghana government to sponsor Hajj operations. Muslims always want government to build their mosques for them. This happened in Bolga in 2009 when the Muslims there threatened Mark Woyongo to build their mosque for them because they claim the NDC used muslim votes to come to power. In year 2000, the muslim community in Ghana threatened mayhem if the Ghana Statistical Service does not massage census figures to make Muslims look majority in Ghana. The question then is, is the Muslim god so feeble and cheap that he always wants government assistance to survive. .

Why are so many Women converting to Islam ?

According to "The Almanac Book of Facts", the population increased 137% within the past decade, Christianity increased 46%, while Islam increased 235%.

In a recent poll in the (US), 100,000 people per year in America alone, are converting to Islam. For every 1 male convert to Islam, 4 females convert to Islam, Why?

It is Clear why Christians are converting.

1. Christian Scientists are declaring the Koran is from God. Visit Here for Christian and atheist Scientists who convert to Islam and why:

2. The Christian Bishops and Priests are admitting the Bible has tensions.

3. Jesus is a Muslim:

The question still remains, why are more women converting than men to Islam ?
Perhaps they realize their Soul is worth the Factual Research.

1. The Bible Convicts Women as the original
Sinners, (ie. Eve picking from the forbidden
tree){Genesis 2:4-3:24}. The Koran Clarifies it
was Adam Not Eve {Qur'an 7:19-25}

2. The Bible says "The Birth of a Daughter is a
loss" {Ecclesiasticus 22:3}. The Qur'an says both
are an Equal Blessing { Qur'an 42:49}

3. The Bible Forbids Women from Speaking in
church {I Corinthians 14:34-35}. The Qur'an says
Women Can argue with the Prophet {58:1}

4. In the Bible, divorced Women are Labeled as
an Adulteress, while men are not {Matthew 5:31-32}. The
Koran does Not have Biblical double standards
{ Qur'an 30:21}

5. In The Bible, Widows and Sisters do Not
Inherit Any Property or Wealth, Only men
do{Numbers 27:1-11}The Koran Abolished this
male greediness { Qur'an 4:22} and God Protects
All.

6. The Bible Allows Multiple Wives{I Kings 11:3}
In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only
under certain situations (with the Wife's
permission)and Prefers you Marry Only One
Wife{ Qur'an 4:3} The Koran gives the Woman
the Right to Choose who to Marry.

7. "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not
pledged to be married and rapes her and they are
discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty
shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he
has violated her. He can never divorce her as long
as he lives" {Deuteronomy 22:28-30}

One must ask a simple question here, who is
really punished, the man who raped the woman or
the woman who was raped? According to the
Bible, you have to spend the Rest of Your Life
with the man who Raped You.

The Prophet Muhammad Says {Volume 9, Book
86, Number 101} Narrated by Aisha:" It is
essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the
marriage)".

Would the Christian men Reading this prefer the
Women they know to Be Christian or Muslim?

8. The Bible also asks Women to wear veils as in
Islam {I Corinthians 11:3-10}, this lowers the
chance of rape, (God Forbid), see statistic link
below.

9. Women were given rights to Vote less than a
100 years ago in the (US), while the Quran (42:38) gave
Women Voting rights almost 1,500 years ago.

10. Islam has unconfined Women and has given them
the human right to reach for the sky. There have been
Muslim Women Presidents through out the centuries,
but to this date, the oppressive mentality of the
men in the Western U.S.A. has stopped any Women from becoming
Presidents in predominately Christian countries,
while the Muslim countries have voted for and
elected Female Presidents.

Muslims kill Christians(Suppression) allow Muslims to grow. Is it not elimination by rough tactics. Inducing women with money into Islam is a false growth.

Forget ego issues and embrace the truth,and I think counter ideas should be directed to the points that I made and this is supposed to be a platform where truth battles it out with truth,the only difference is what the various parties conceives as truth,but then our failure to accept the truth is a betrayal of our conscience,and perhaps of our very existence!

Nothing will entice me to accept a lucrative job in any Islamic country because I can't stand the maltreatment of women as is prevalent in Islamic Countries. So if you are a true Muslim you must learn to sacrifice Please if you don't like catholic teachings, don't even touch their facilities with a long stick. You see, I cannot stand the sight of maltreatment against women that is why nothing on earth will compel me to accept any lucrative job in Saudi Arabia. I will prefer poverty in Ghana to receiving riches in Saudi Arabia. Muslims should learn to sacrifice to satisfy their conscience rather pushing political authorities and the OIC to do their bidding for them.

Boko Haram emerged as a result of decades of unsuccessful effort to achieve the rights and liberties of Muslim Students in Nigerian schools. In most of the schools, Church services are compulsory and the right environment is unavailable for these students to observe their five daily prayers. After years of fruitless effort to change the situation with its concomitant discomforts, they suspiciously perceived secular education as “evangelical tool” intended to spread Christianity. Since then they do not only kill Christians who they consider as champions of the system, but also Muslims who maintain any form of relation with secular schools.
Whiles we all condemn their horrendous acts; one just can’t understand why our authorities exhibit sheer laxity and total inertia to sensitive issues till things get out of hand

Dr. I believe you being a lawyer, you have respect for sovereign rights of countries. If a country per its constitution states it is an Islamic state, that makes it different from another that states that it is circular. Your assertion that Saudi Arabias' posturing on Christianity is to blame for the issues arising in Christian dominated countries is not tenable. If these majority nations state that they are religious states then you might not even get Muslims there let alone demanding rights. Take into consideration the Vatican. Can any Islamic group go there and demand equal treatment?

If Ghana's constitution did not provide for the religious rights of people of all faith in the country, no muslim could make any claim. If Saudi Arabia constitution says so as as is enshrined in Ghana's constitution, the Saudi non muslims have every right to exercise their religious freedom there. Mind u, in the wisdom of Ghana's constitution, the provition is to protect the religious rights of people of any faith at any point in time. As muslims are the victims today, in the near future, it could be between a catholics and protestants. May God forbid. I pray that we resolve this unpass peacefully n mutually. Long live Ghana. God is great.

This controversy needs leaders who're peace makers to resolve and not someone who can't help opening up their mouth uttering flaws.

There are issues that are debilitating this nation and we need as many educated people as possible. We don't have the luxury of conveniently picking which school to learn at our leisure. Schools should not be a threatening environment for children who we need to fix this nation. Instead we have a group of adults who're more fixated with their own agendas instead of benefiting Ghana.

Then He stroke his right shoulder and took out a white race as if they were seeds, and He stroke his left shoulder and took out a black race as if they were coals. Then He said to those who were on his right side: towards paradise and I don’t care. He said to those who were on his left should: towards hell and I don’t care.”
Is it fair to exempt people who have toiled their whole lives pursuing the cause of Islam only to be exempted from enjoyment in the hereafter because of the colour of their skins? I think some of them have sacrificed a lot by abstaining from wine in order to prepare their throats for the Great Beyond where there are rivers of wine flowing(Sura47:15; 76:5&21; 83:25-29). It is also unfair to deny black African access to the Islamic heaven where there are a lot of Marriages and Sex. (56:10-22,35-38). The lowliest of the inhabitants of the Islamic heaven will have 72 wives- I am wondering how much wives will the district and regional chief Imams will get and how many our good old Sheik Sharubutu will also get. Hmmmmmmm

All we are asking is in our public schools which are not owned by Christians nor Moslems our children must not be forced to say" the lords prayer " which is made by Christians .they belive in it we don't . In the same public schools our female children should be allowed to put on the hijab once it does not infringe on anybody's right. Why are u Christians opposed to hijab when Marry mother of Jesus in all her pictures appeared wearing hijab? If our female children are uncivilized in it ? Will u agree same for her? Religious intolerance have always been a recipe of disaster, so let us be careful. It's very unfortunate for such comments to come from a learned man who shoul know better .I suppose this is sheer intellectual bankruptcy!!
