    Sarpong, it seems you only read the title of this article. Read the article itself again and you will see the title is misplaced.

    The article itself says ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It doesn't identify the causes of any problems, ...

    Look, Sarp, there are tension between the Sunnis and the Shia Muslims which at times, end in blood shed so, if Muslims cannot get along with Christians in Ghana, I don't see any problem with that. Morning devotion is not a ...

    If you find yourself in a country with a Moslem majority and they force you to join their moslem prayers, how will you ...

    Sarpong I salute you for your objectivity on this sensitive issue, there is absolutely no need to force muslim students to attend christian morning devotions. Allah richly bless you

    You are a true liberal thinker. Ghana needs more of your kind.

    It's not a matter of getting along with Christians in Ghana. Moslems and Christians have coexisted fine in Ghana. They don't want to be part of Christian worship and they are right because they are not Christians.

    It is NOT "morning devotion", it is morning assembly! There's nothing, absolutely nothing devotional of a 10 - 15 minutes morning class-preparedness (warm-up) program dedicated for the most part, for announcements.

  • SARPONG 9 years ago

    You can call it whatever you want, I attended the morning assembly or morning devotion for seven years in secondary school in late 70's to early 80's and it was some Seniors who conducted these devotions where Christian songs ...

    Pelicles, I bet there's something definitely wrong with forcing a Muslim to take part in a christian religious activity; and vice versa. Morning devotion in a Mission school is christian in character and very much at variance ...

    People these days are getting very over-sensitive about their own selves and what they ...

    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 e ...
