58. Making his arrest is a greater sin
“Jesus answered (to Pilate); He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” (John 19:11)
How a greater sin can bring salvation to the world. Sin means, being disobedient to God, breaking His laws and commandments.
“…the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (Matt 26:45)
59. Jesus accursed Judas for his betrays.
Jesus said: – “…but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.” (Matt 26:24)
It was Judas who made the salvation possible. If he had not born, there would not have any salvation for us.
Jesus said, “It had been good … if he had not been born”.
Why it did not happen like that?

Muslims should always sow good seeds to bear good fruit. If they invest in Mecca they will only reap titles like Alhaji and Hajia and they would not have enough money to build good quality schools for their children and the end result is that a lot of their youth will end up in prison and a sizeable number will become Kayayes as is currently the case in Ghana. Muslims should also learn to sacrifice a bit to pay their zakat instead of the usual beggarly mentality. I know of a prominent Islamic scholar in West Africa, not Ghana, who vowed never to wear Babanriga( Batakari or parachute apparel) since he claimed it is a waste because the number of yards of fabric that go into one set of Batakari is enough to provide for many needy persons. This is what we call religion from the heart and not that of titles and accolades.

Indeed Religion is Opium for the masses. What Religion does to the human mind of all its addicted followers is that it leaves no room for tolerance or humour. Even satire is prohibited. This is total brainwashing. Ironically, the very people who think western Education and Technology is evil are the very ones using this very media to spread their NONSENSE. What a paradox!
It is a wonder that the extremist from all this religious groups claim to follow the same ONE GOD. So why can't these religious intoxicated fanatics and fundamentalists be it Christians, Muslim, Jews, Hindus etc leave those of us who don't believe in their binge drank religious addiction and stop disturbing our minds with lives of ancient and medieval lifestyles. Leave the Internet and your Smartphones, cars etc behind and go ride donkeys and live in holes but leave those of who don't have religious constraints to think freely.
One thing all these fanatics forget is; HEAVEN is FREE and your religious affiliation is not a sure ticket or bet to HEAVEN.
As for me, if an Iman tells me to suicide bomb others to get a reward of 72 women. My first reaction is why don't you take the lead? In the same token if a charlatan pastor tells me that in heaven all my worries are all over but notice that he is living a lavish lifestyle on earth, I will ask him to first take the lead. Remember,Jesus Christ died penniless!
The bizarre thing about HEAVEN is EVERYONE wants to go to HEAVEN but no ONE wants to DIE. Instead these Imans and pastors ask others to do it. Look in life, we have all been given our God given brain. If you are lazy to think, others will do it for you but it doesn't come cheap. It is all about the PRICE TAG.
I for one, I will always remain Je suis Charlie at any given time, anywhere, any place than choose religious addiction.

Christians want us to believe that Jesus, died the death of a false prophet, that is unacceptable. I love God and his prophets too much to believe in such non-sense. I quite agreed with you on the issue of Jesus(peace be upon him) so called cruxifiction story. Check this out for your selves from the Bible
65 reasons to believe that Jesus did not die on the cross
1. Why crucifixion?
Jews wanted him to be killed through crucifixion, so they can prove that Jesus is not a beloved of God, rather the curse of God is on him. Jews could have killed him easily as they were in hundreds of thousands in number and very strong. If killing should have been their desire, they could have done it easily. Just like they paid thirty pieces of silver to one of his disciples, if they would have paid him more, he might have done this service too. But they wanted him to be crucified so they can prove that he is not from God, rather he is an impostor and a fabricator. If he was from God, then God will definitely save him. May be that was the reason that Jesus was so reluctant to suffer on the cross.
2. Who wanted him to be crucified?
Two of Jesus’ disciples commented (in Luke 24:20) as follows:
And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. (Luke 24:20)
They all say unto him, Let him be crucified. And the Governor said what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying Let him be crucified…. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. (Matt 27: 22-25)
3. Crucifixion was demanded by the Jews
When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. (John 19:6)
The Jews answered him (Pilate), We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. (John 19:7)
4. One incident and many aspects?
Romans took it as punishment of sedition.
The Jews made it as a punishment of blasphemy.
Jesus considers it a killing, when one of his disciples betrayed him.
Christians think a sacrifice presented for our salvation.
Who is right?
j
5. Why Jesus was hiding?
That’s why the Jews paid thirty pieces of silver to Judas giving them the necessary information about Jesus.
…Neither go into town, nor tell it to any in the town. (Mark 8: 26)
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. ((Mark 8: 30)
6. Jesus’ prayers and supplications to be saved from crucifixion:
Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. (John 26: 36)
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. (John 26: 39)
…. He went away again, and prayed the second time and prayed, saying ……and prayed the third time, saying the same words. (John 26:42-44)
7. God always hears his prayers and his prayers were heard
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I think thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always. (John 11:41-42)
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. (Hebrews 5:7)
8. An Angel was sent to strengthen Jesus?
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. (Luke 22: 43-44)
9. Pilate delays in judgment
Pilate intentionally delayed in giving his verdict and did not deliver his judgment until and unless he was sure that due to the Sabbath, Jesus would be on the cross for only a few hours. Jesus a thirty-three years young person was on the cross for only few (3-6) hours.
10. Pilate’s complete favor to Jesus
Pilate was in complete favor of Jesus, considering him innocent, and for his wife’s dream, was trying to save his life. That’s why Pilate wanted to use his special right to free one person, but the Jews did not let him do it.
Pilate said unto them, whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas or Jesus…. But the chief Priests and the elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. The Governor answered and said unto them, whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said Barabbas. Matt 27: 17-21)
11. Pilate’s wife sees a dream to save Jesus
When he sat down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.” (Matt 27:19)
Why was this dream was against the purpose of the advent of Jesus, to give his life on the cross? Her dream should have been that crucify him immediately. Let him finish his work. But her dream was against it. Although her dream was so special that it was mentioned in the Bible.
12. Pilate finds him “Not guilty”
… Pilate … he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person. (Matt 27:24)
13. Earthquake, eclipse & a storm – A sign of God’s disliking & anger
An earthquake, eclipse of Sun and a Storm, all three occurred just after the crucifixion is a clear sign of God’s anger.
Now from sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. (Matt 27:45)
…the earth did quake, and the rocks rent. (Matt 27: 51)
14. Pilate marveled
And Pilate marveled if he were already dead. (Mark 15: 44)
When Pilate was informed about the death of Jesus on the cross, he marveled at hearing it. We know that Pilate was the most experienced person in this field; who may have experienced hundreds of crucifixions in his time. That is why; he knew very it well that a 33 years, unmarried young person shouldn’t die in few hours, while the other two thieves (elder than him) were still alive after the crucifixion.
15. The other two (thieves) next to Jesus were still alive so they broke their legs
Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. (John 19: 32)
16. Blood and Water – a great sign of Jesus’ life
When a soldier pierced a spear in Jesus’ side, blood and water gushed out from his body, with full pressure, is a sign and a witness that Jesus’ heart was still pumping and he was alive
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. (John 19:34)
Why coming of blood and water is so important that the narrator of the incident specially describes:
And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. (John 19:35)
The person has put all stress on the truth of this witness, because of the great importance of it.
17. Why the soldiers checked Jesus alive or dead, piercing him a spears. What was the criteria, then to recognize?
The concept that one of the soldiers pierced Jesus a spear to check him, either he is alive or not, does not make any sense until and unless there was really a way of checking this way. Piercing Jesus a spear or some other way? What was that? How did they do it? Because one of the soldiers pierced a spear in Jesus’ body. Not to check his life or death. Otherwise they should have done the same with other two also.
18. Jesus legs were not broken
But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they broke not his legs: (John 19:33)
19. Jesus was not buried in the grave
The Jewish custom for the last thousands of years was to bury the deceased in the ground. Because the disciples knew the predictions, which were made earlier by Jesus Christ, they kept Jesus’ body in a sepulcher. If they had buried him in a grave, he would have died. But his disciples placed him in a roomy “Sepulcher?” Rather then burying him in the ground according to the Jewish custom and traditions.
20. Neither Jews nor Christians are sure about Jesus’ death on the cross
There was a very strong earthquake, a storm and an eclipse of sun just after the crucifixion of Jesus, that made all Jews and Romans run away from the sight. That is why; neither Jews nor the Christians are sure about the death of Jesus on the cross but a gesture.
21. The stone on the sepulcher was removed
(For a spirit, does not need to remove the stone)
Jesus forbade Mary Magdalene to touch him.
Touch me not. (John 20:17)
Why?
22. Jesus said, “ He has not ascended yet. What did he really mean?
Jesus said unto her (Mary Magdalene), touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God and your God. (John 20:17)
What are the real meanings of ascension here, when Jesus said to Mary “I am not yet ascended to my Father.”
Certainly, it was understood and very clear without any doubt that Jesus had not ascended yet, while he was standing just in front of her. Then why Jesus said that he was not ascended yet?
23. Mary did not react, when she saw Jesus alive. Why?
24. Disciples were terrified seeing Jesus. (Luke 24: 39)
25. Jesus ate food, in the presence of his disciples.
… he said unto them, have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and an honeycomb. And he took it, and did eat before them. (Luke 24:41-42)
Jesus saith unto them, come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who are thou? Knowing that it was the Lord. Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. (John 21: 12-13)
A spirit does not need any food but our physical body, which becomes weak after a while, without having food. Why Jesus needed food, if he had gone back to his original body of God.
For forty days he was meeting his disciples to assure them that he was alive and now going to the lost sheep of house of Israel, as he promised and assigned by God like Jonah was assigned to the Nin-e-viets.
…many infallible proofs being seen of them for forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (Acts 1:3)
26. Jesus never showed himself to the Jews (who challenged him) after he was saved from the accursed death of cross.
27. How come Jesus never said “I was dead and now I am alive?”
28. Jesus’ prediction about his sign to be very similar to the sign of Jonah
Jesus predicted his sign would be similar to the sign of Jonas.
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s bally; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matt 12:39-40)
This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Nin-e-vites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation…for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. (Luke 11:29-32)
Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the bally of the fish three days and three nights. (Jonah 1:17)
And Lord spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. (Jonah 2:10)
And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it preaching that I bid thee. And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh. (Jonah 3:1-3)
Jonas entered into the belly of whale alive- Jesus died on the cross and entered in the heart of the earth dead.
Jonas remained alive in the bally of whale. – Jesus Remained dead.
Jonas came out alive bodily. – Jesus came out in spirit.
Jonas stayed three days and three nights in the bally of whale. – Jesus one day and two nights.
Jonas went back to his people. – Jesus went back to heaven. Without fulfilling the promise which he made earlier, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (Matt 15:24)
Jesus should have gone to the lost tribe of Israel, as Jonas went to his people “Nin-e-vites”, not to heaven.
29. Appearance of an Angel, saying, why, you looking for a living person into the dead.
And it come to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seeketh ye the living among the dead. (Luke 24:4-5)
And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. (Luke 24:23)
30. The stone of tomb was removed
It was a physical body not a spiritual one:
And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher. (Luke 24: 2)
31. Jesus’ prayers against his death on the cross
Jesus prayed again and over again, saying, O God, take this cup away from him. Why he prayed against the purpose of his advent?
“And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me….” (Mark 14:36)
If his escape from the death on the cross was not possible then why Jesus was praying for it? Didn’t he know?
32. Jesus awakening his disciples, requesting for special prayers for his safety
“…saith to his disciples, sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder…. And began to be sorrowful and very heavy… And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and said unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray…” (Matt 26: 36-41)
33. Jesus’ in flesh and bones after he had risen
Jesus showing his hands and feet to his disciples, proving and arguing them, that he was alive bodily.
“They were terrified and affrighted and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts are in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see for a spirit hath no flesh and bones, as you see me have…. he shewed them his hands and his feet.” (Luke 24:37-40)
34. Why Jesus needed the body (Flesh) again?
35. Jesus’ wounds- a great sign of his survival
Jesus through showing his wounds to his disciples was proving that he was alive bodily.
“The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord. But he (Thomas) said unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of his nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe… Then he said to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: be not faithless, but believing.” (John 20: 25-27)
A Spirit can’t have the wounds. It means he was alive bodily.
Why Jesus addressed Thomas “not to be faithless but believing? Jesus advised Thomas to have faith, but in which and what? Yes! Faith in the fulfillment of the promise of God saving Jesus from the accursed death on the cross which Jews had designed for him.
Why Jesus had a physical body after he had risen from the dead? Why this physical body still had the signs of wounds? Now there should have been nothing but his soul and spirit? Did he want to take these wounds along with him to the heavens to show them to God? If that is the case, then, we know very well, that these wounds alone did not kill him, but many other things including the cross. If he needed the proofs of his service to be presented to God, then he should have taken all his wounds including, the signs of flogging, beating, hitting, kicking, spitting and the cross (piece of wood) on which he was crucified.
36. Jesus prayers and God’s response: (Hebrews 5:7)
37. Hungry Jesus, asking for food
He ate fish and a honeycomb.
38. Jesus’ shroud: -“Shroud of Turin” a sign that Jesus was alive.
“And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth.” Matt 27:59)
39. Using 100 pounds of aloes, myrrh and some other spices on Jesus’ body, as the manner of Jews. Whether Jews use 100 pound of myrrh, aloes and some other spices at their burial? Or there were some special arrangements were made for Jesus’ safety. Nicodemus, who was a physician and a disciple of Jesus, made this special arrangement before the crucifixion of Jesus.
“And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to burry. (John 19:39-40)
40. Jesus said “I am going to “Galilee” before the disciples.”
41. An error made by the Jews: – “….the last error shall be worse than the first.” (Matt 27:64)
Jews accepted that they had made an error. What kind of error had they made? Now they were afraid not to make another error. Did they make another error? Yes! They did.
42. Why Jews bribed the soldiers?
Jews bribed large money) the soldiers who had been assigned to guard the sepulcher.
“And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken council, they gave large money unto the soldiers.”(Matt 28:12)
They bribed the soldiers to hide the fact. What was that?
43. Empty tomb of Jesus (the sepulcher), is a great Mystery. Jesus body was not found in the sepulcher.
44. Jews were afraid of a conspiracy: -
Jews were sure, even ahead of time that his disciples will definitely announce, “Jesus had been ascended to heaven” as it is mentioned,
“…Pharisees came together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, after three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulcher be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal his him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead:”(Matt 27: 63-64)
45. Jesus’ crucifixion- a test of Jews
The crucifixion was made criteria for Jesus’ truth. The Jews at the time of crucifixion said: - “…save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.” (Matt 27:40)
“Let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.”(Matt 27:42)
“He saved others; himself he cannot save.”(Matt 27:42)
46. Could Jesus save his life? If he could then it is a suicide.
47. Pilate’s complete favor for Jesus; _Pilate; the Governor tried his best to save Jesus’ life, because of his wife’s dream.
48. Jesus never demanded “Crucify me”, but the Jews demanded from the Pilate, “Crucify him- crucify him”
“Then all say unto him, Let him be crucified.” (Matt 27:22)
49. Jesus defended his case in the court, argued with the Jews, and refuted their accusations. Jesus never said “Hurry up crucify me, for I have come, just for this purpose, although I am already late for 4000 years.
50. Jesus never went to the cross happily, but in miserable situation.
51. Who compelled Jesus to be crucified and why?
52. Jesus said: – “For salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:22) What it means? And why only for the Jews?
53. Crucifixion- a killing in the eyes of Jesus.
“Why go ye about to kill me? (John 7:19)
“But you seek to kill me.” (John 8:40)
“For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.” (Mark 9:31)
54. Jesus complained to God, why have you forsaken me? It means, God for his safety made a promised.
“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, My God, why have hast thou forsaken me? (Matt 27:46)
55. In Jewish law, the “Crucifixion” was an accursed death”-
“…for he that is hanged is accursed of God” (Deut 21: 23)
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.” (Galatians 3: 13)
56. Why the disciples of Jesus, when they met him in Galilee, still had some doubts? “…Some doubted” (Matt 28:17)
What kind of doubts and what about?
Did they have doubts about Jesus being alive and saved from the accursed death of cross or some thing else?
57. Jesus said, “Even so every good tree bringth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringth forth evil fruit.” (Matt 7:17)
How come that this heinous crime of persecuting him mercilessly brought such a good result?
58. Making his arrest is a greater sin
“Jesus answered (to Pilate); He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” (John 19:11)
How a greater sin can bring salvation to the world. Sin means, being disobedient to God, breaking His laws and commandments.
“…the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (Matt 26:45)
59. Jesus accursed Judas for his betrays.
Jesus said: – “…but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.” (Matt 26:24)
It was Judas who made the salvation possible. If he had not born, there would not have any salvation for us.
Jesus said, “It had been good … if he had not been born”.
Why it did not happen like that?
60. Who can kill God? God is Holy. Nobody can kill God. God is eternal and immortal, free from the suffering of death. He is always alive. He is out of the approach of human beings hands. Sinners’ hand cannot reach Him or harm Him.
61. Why Jesus (if he was a God) let the Jews and Romans disgrace Him and do all kind of insulting and persecution? What “The Most High” means and “God is Great.” God is not supposed to be humble and show humility.
62. Jesus never mentioned that the purpose of his coming was to give his life on the cross.
63. Salvation through keeping the commandments of God:
Jesus never mentioned that people’s salvation is in believing Jesus’ death on the cross. Rather he promised that the heaven’s eternal life is in following and obeying the commandments of God. As it is in the Book of Matthew 19:16-17
“And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matt 19:16-17)
64. If salvation through crucifixion, then the credit goes to Jews, Romans & Judas
They are the Jews who demanded from the Roman Governor Pilate to put him on the cross. And Judas betrayed Jesus and made his arrest possible; otherwise Jesus was hiding in the garden of Gethsemane. Chief Priests paid thirty pieces of silver to Judas for informing the authorities for his arrest.
65. A soldier saw Jesus walking, informs the chief priest
“The watch” who saw (Jesus and his disciples meeting and going) all these things, told the Chief Priest in the city.
“Now when they were going (Jesus and his disciples), behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.” (Matt 28: 11)a

Islam is synonymous with terrorist. Take or leave it. Look, do not bring in that "slave shit" because Islam played a deep role in it. Most slaves captured in war by the Arabs and sold. There are historical records to support that.
By the way, how did Islam spread. Through war, right or wrong? Their captives were either converted or sold or slaughtered. How do you categorized the carnage going on in Iraq and Libya? They are doing that under the banner of Islam and by the command of Allah. True or false? Can you go to ISIS and tell them their act is anti Islam, despite being a staunch Muslims? If no, why?
We are not babies to be toyed with. Islam is never a peaceful religion. Anders Breivik made his intention known by saying that he hate foreigners and that has nothing to do with terrorism. He is keeping foreigners away from his country because Muslims will go there and change his way of life. Anywhere Muslims go, they start their nonsense like "we are here so, we should be given attention".
Do we have any religious conflict in Ghana? And when did that start? If Ghana is predominantly Muslims, they will force their sharia nonsense on everybody in the country and dare those who will resist. Look at the carnage going on in Nigeria. Tell me the last time some Christian group went berserk like Boko Haram, killing and maiming without remorse. Please, if you wife denied you sex last night, keep your anger to yourself and stop being naïve and ignorant.

Look Shaban you forgot the salient part of our constitution which states that your freedom should not infringe upon the freedom of others. I cannot come into your house or mosque and tell you from this day forward my word goes around. period! Please stop polarizing the Christian and Muslim communities against each other in Ghana. I wish I could write a similar satire to the Imam of Saudi Arabia in Mecca without being blacklisted or beheaded. Look Shaban, tolerance is not a one way street. It bears mentioning that the peaceful coexistence of Christians and Muslim is remarkable and envy of many. It should stay that way.
Fadi, you don't have to compare one evil with a greater evil. One evil is sad enough. Be it Timothy McVeigh or Osama Bin Laden. Fadi, for your information Arab slave traders were already doing slave business in Mali -Timbuktu and on the east coast of Africa before the Europeans arrived on the shores of Africa. Even today Arabs in Morocco and Mauritania still possess black slaves if it is of any comfort to you. Militant Islam today is part of a much wider problem that confronts not just the Muslim, not just the West but the whole of the third world.
Africa has witnessed over the last decade such jihadist conflicts in Somalia (Al Shabab), Mali (AL Qaeda Tuareg rebels),Libya( ISIS and AL Qaeda), Nigerian (Boko Haram) all trying to create a caliphate of their own. Ghanaians/Africans cannot afford to fight such ancient schism again. Ghanaians/Africans were held back due the cold war where ideological conflict of east and west balkanized Africa into capitalist and socialist camps up until 1989.
Hardly have we gotten out of this iron curtain conflict the Arabs and Persians are exporting their religious conflict on African soil. It is time Africans thought of our own progress and do away with any ideology that holds us back be theocracy or demo(n)cracy. When will Ghanaians/Africans think of our welfare and interest first? It is time we part ways with all who hold us back.
Becoming a Muslim involves saying the Shahada: "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God."
Militant and radical Muslim call all others as non-believers. Who are they to judge us? Being a Muslim dose not give you a free ride to Heaven. Muslim cannot fast forward the highway to Heaven because they so wished.
There is a fracas going on between Sunnis (majority) and Shiah (minority) Moslems. This conflict have been fought over many years as to who is the right successor of Mohammed. So the split among Muslims originates in a dispute soon after the death of the Prophet Muhammad over who should lead the Muslim community.
Now it seems that the Arabs (Saudi Arabian) and Persian (Iran) conflicts is being exported to Africa and fought on our backs like the Christians did in the 15th century. We shall never allow this to happen. Never again, over our dead bodies.
In early Islamic history the Shia were a political faction - literally "Shiat Ali" or the party of Ali. The Shia claimed the right of Ali, the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, and his descendants to lead the Islamic community. Ali was killed as a result of intrigues, violence and civil wars which marred his caliphate. His sons, Hassan and Hussein, were denied what they thought was their legitimate right of accession to caliphate. Both Hassan and Hussein were later also killed in similar fashion. These events gave rise to the Shia concept of martyrdom and the rituals of grieving.
Shia Muslims are in the majority in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Azerbaijan and, according to some estimates, Yemen.
The shared faith among Sunnis and Shias is considered a strong bond, but there is often conflict. There are also variations in the way different groups practise their faith. The differences lie in the fields of doctrine, ritual, law, theology and religious organisation.
Their leaders also often seem to be in competition. From Lebanon and Syria to Iraq and Pakistan, many recent conflicts have emphasised the sectarian divide, tearing communities apart.
So Fadi you will have to write about the ideological conflict and identity crisis facing or existing within the Muslim community and the way the Shia minority are mistreated in parts of the Arab world where Shias are in most cases the poorest. There are large Shia communities in Afghanistan, India, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE where there is an uprising.
Look Fadi our constitution states that your freedom should not infringe upon the freedom of others. I cannot come into your house or mosque and tell you from this day forward my word goes around. period! Please stop polarizing the Christian and Muslim communities against each other in Ghana/Africa. Look Fadi tolerance is not a one way street. It bears mentioning that the peaceful coexistence of Christians and Muslim in Ghana and most parts of Africa is remarkable and the envy of many. And it should stay that way. But just as I don't want Christian fanatics to claim God for themselves, in the same token I don't a radical Muslim or jihadist to tell me their way of life is absolute. I am Charlie - Je suis Charlie is better than barbarous head trophy anywhere, anytime.

You must have a problem with yourself, Fadi Dabbousi!
This a serious matter that requires reflection, control, and respect for all.
By your "a few bigoted fools were slain", we reckoned you do not respect anyone who is not a Muslim.
You sound ultra-callous and depraved, we are deeply sorry to say.
YOUR: "...I do not know if the priest administering the service was high on drugs or totally drunk but his offensive sermon was quite unacceptable, especially where he ranted about the need to be consumed by the belief in Jesus Christ otherwise all would go to hell continuing to say, “All other religions are bogus”.
OUR COMMENT: You sat there and took this insult because you wanted to pay my last respects to a revered woman of my past?
How can that be an insult to you when the message was not meant for you in the first place, at that place? Obviously, if you felt offended by the Church of your "revered woman of (your) past", your respect was all a farce.
So, we must regretfully conclude as we started:

One incident and many aspects?
Romans took it as punishment of sedition.
The Jews made it as a punishment of blasphemy.
Jesus considers it a killing, when one of his disciples betrayed him.
Christians think a sacrifice presented for our salvation.
Making his arrest is a greater sin
“Jesus answered (to Pilate); He that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.” (John 19:11)
How a greater sin can bring salvation to the world. Sin means, being disobedient to God, breaking His laws and commandments.
“…the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. (Matt 26:45)
. Jesus accursed Judas for his betrays.
Jesus said: – “…but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born.” (Matt 26:24)
It was Judas who made the salvation possible. If he had not born, there would not have any salvation for us.
Jesus said, “It had been good … if he had not been born”.
Jesus never mentioned that the purpose of his coming was to give his life on the cross.
63. Salvation through keeping the commandments of God:
Jesus never mentioned that people’s salvation is in believing Jesus’ death on the cross. Rather he promised that the heaven’s eternal life is in following and obeying the commandments of God. As it is in the Book of Matthew 19:16-17
“And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matt 19:16-17)

“And the holy prophet said: Allah created Adam. 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 shoulder: towards hell and I don’t care.”
Is it fair to exempt people who have toiled their whole lives pursuing the cause of a Islam 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.

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.

Who stopped Muslims from building their own schools. If they are true Muslims they should sacrifice to build good schools with their Mecca money so that government will fund them. The fact is that Muslims erroneously see the mission schools as a threat to the spread of Islam but they refuse to know that what they are fighting for will eventually lead to the monumental growth of the Scripture Union( Since SU don't need space and time to practice their faith), Occultism( which will be more attractive to Muslim youth like SAKAWA) and Religious strife( since Muslims will like to use unorthodox means to suppress the spread of Pentecostalism in Muslim schools).

If anybody tells you that "I am not Charlie"then you better watch out.If somebody tells you that "I am Charlie" it means he believes in freedom of expression,freedom of association,freedom of worship and freedom of speech.In other words,he is tolerant and democratic.Some terrorists stormed into Charlie Hebdo,a Paris weekly newspapers office and killed 12 journalists,cartoonists and administrators.This occured about just 2 months ago when they were at meeting in their office.The 2 terrorist brothers gun all these innocent souls don in a cold blooded action because they are against freedom of expression.They killed 12 innocent people because the Charlie Hebdo newspaper printed a cartoon of Mohammed.Therefore,if somebody like Fadi Dabbousi comes to Ghanaweb and tell us that he supports the terrorists,then I am afraid this guy himself is one of them.We are enjoying freedom of expression on this forum so why should Fadi join us if he is against freedom of expression?Thank you.

Jesus should have peacefully preached to the people in temple to stop their misdeeds and not to have scattered the temple and pushing people here and there.God of Christians being angry?
So what the Ghanaian Christians are doing is in line with the force Jesus is said to have used to convert people.
Confused religion from Paul etc.Because of the lies these so called disciples made against Jesus,that's why they face the wrath of God.Paul was chopped into pieces like kebab.Peter was crucified upside down etc.Peter denied ever living or knowing Jesus at critical stage(jesus crucifixion).And today they brought the bible and being celebrated.

It is with the utmost reluctance that I have decided to comment on religious matters.Due to that, I am going to limit myself to some of the erroneous and outright fabricated interpretation to the bible.
Take Rash interpretation of Luke 19:27 for example. Brother Rash, start from Luke 19:11 and quote "Whilst they were listening,to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable and you do understand the word parable. Now continue from where I left you to your Luke 19:27 then,use your contextualization skills to put what he meant into context.
Jesus never asked anybody to be slaughtered like a cow in his presence whilst on this earth. He overturned tables and drove money changers and all those who were using the temple as a market place. Again, he never killed anybody even though they were using the holy temple for nefarious activities.
The Luke 19:27 was still in reference and comparing his situation to the rich man's kingdom. Jesus never sought to establish any kingdom in that era but after judgement.
One cannot be a good intellectual or scholar if you lack contextualization abilities.
Your other points are so childish it is not worth my precious time

I think he is a buffoon who is trying his best to cover up Christianity by creating a whimsical defence for a criminal. Personally I think he is a terrorist but that is where I would stop. We do not tag religions as cradles of terrorism because no heavenly revelation incites people to go on a terror spree. In other words we do not copy the name calling and tagging that our brothers and sisters of Christianity and other faiths do. The worrisome problem is that there is an intentional attempt to tarnish Islam and that is what we are diplomatically trying to curtail via dialogue. We never condone terrorism and those terrorist groups that have sprung up in the name of religion are too distant from the faiths that they relate themselves to. Thank you for the question though.

This is odd for a being that believes in freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and "man’s rights to doctrine of choice".

ITEM: So, as you've said, BOY KOFI, one does not start a dialogue with a provocative statement.
Extremists are therefore, in our book, bigoted, passionate fools, all rolled into one. That is why civilized societies should not condone them, and don't.

I think you need to read the article once again. You did not understand the content. I stated that both sides were fools: Charlie guys for their transgression and the gunmen for their spontaneous firey reaction. Let someone draw the cartoon of Jess Christ and I think you will damn and condemn them. Imagine someone drawing a cartoon of your parents in the same derogatory manner as the Charlie caricatures, you'd probably behave the same way. Left up to me, I will use the power of my pen, which will do more harm than bullets....but not everybody is me, or? It is important to discern that violence doesn't resolve crisis but some people cannot take such grave transgression coolly. Your earlier posts were quite offending but, if you realised, I did not even retort.

Hoping the "Passion" Extremists Get Their Reckoning, Soon!
READ: "BAGHDAD (AP) — Freedom from the Islamic State group comes at a steep price, as one newly wedded couple recently discovered. Eager to live a normal life, away from the harsh dominion of the militants' self-styled caliphate, the young pair is searching for ways to bypass the extremists' newly-implemented departure taxes and escape the IS-held city of Mosul..."
OUR COMMENT: Use of human shields to buttress one's passion and profiteer should be seen as a big disgrace by all human beings who respect freedoms -Religion
-Education
-Music
-Art
-Movies
-Dancing
-Singing
-Reading
-Syncretism, even!

Do you want us to preach to favour your religion. Jesus (Nabi Issa), the one whom you believe as a prophet said '' I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no-one goes to the father except by me". What the pastor preached are the very words of your prophet Jesus (Issa). If you believe in the Injil (the gospel) then you will believe in this also except may be like Sheik Dr Naik Zakir you blindly refuse to accept this argument and claim our New Testament is not correct but unable to provide the correct NT.

It's easy in the West to perpetuate the propaganda you speak of because there's millions of people who don't come into contact with Muslims. People enjoy having something to point their finger at as the root of their problems.

Fadi,
Is Timothy McVeigh's "terrorism" associated with Oklahoma City or Ohio City, or both?
Thanks.

Narrow is the way that leads to salvation and broad is the way that leads to destruction. So if people are trouping to Islam with cataclysmic surge it is not surprising.

You did not tell me the number of Muslims( in both absolute and relative terms) domiciled in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc, who received Islam by their own will and conviction.
Who stopped Muslims from building their own schools. If they are true Muslims they should sacrifice to build good schools with their Mecca money so that government will fund them. The fact is that Muslims erroneously see the ...
