This article is, perhaps, the most sensible piece of intelligent analysis of what is going on in the West Africa region, and other parts of the world in terms of terrorism and the disturbance of the peace.
Let us not deceive ourselves. Ghana is not immune from terrorist attacks!
Anyone reading and analyzing the news will fear that certain clandestine preparations are going on.
Once again, attention is being drawn that very recently a truck-load of one million bullets (not grains of garri nor rice and beans to feed the people) was allegedly intercepted at the Lome border. Bullets could be deployed to cause havoc, to kill, to destroy, to curtail Ghana's apparent peace and tranquility.
That was not the only issue. A cache of weapons including AK 47s and pump-action rifles, arms and ammunition was supposed to have been discovered at a suburb of Kumasi.
A recent article on this website hinted that the Northern Region, the Ashanti Region and the Greater Accra Region were heavily armed and fortified in private weapons holdings.
While the Government and the sector organizations are very busy syphoning and misappropriating state money into personal and private pockets, something sinister is clandestinely building in the 'dumsor' darkness.
The recent threat by the Andani and the Abudu family Gates to take the law into their own hands in Dagbon because of the nonchalance of Mahama and his government should be regarded as very ominous of what is in the offing.
Again, Ghana is in an election year. It is very trendy that certain political parties or their candidates are determined to win their election by fair or foul means.
The age-old adage says, "To be forewarned, is to be fore-armed."
Let Ghana be prepared. Let Ghanaians be vigilant. There is something brewing and cooking behind the scenes, even home-grown acts of terrorism!!! Beware!!!

I find both Mr. El-Saeed's article & Alfa-alfa's rejoinder worthless, they fail to tell us why terrorisms are becoming reality throughout the world. If we know why terrorisms are rearing their ugly killing faces, then maybe we can be prepared. Be vigilant.
God did not create terrorism & terrorists.
The conditions that created it was man made, & we have to get rid of those conditions: unfortunately, we don't have a plan worldwide to tackle the conditions in order to defeat terrorism.
Ghana can't do it alone, West Africa can't do it alone, neither can EU, China , Iran, or the US.
Since we are not doing anything to remove the conditions, terrorism will stay with us for a long time, until we cooperate worldwide to defeat it.
Maybe God will help us deal with the terroristic reality that is inching gradually towards us in Ghana.

Nice one! Trouble is, we do not see Eskimos, Australia Aborigines,Zoroastrians, Buddhist,Methodists, Presbyterians, or Jehovah Witnesses blowing up buildings or killing people indiscriminately. That category falls entirely on the adherents of the bogus religion called Islam,yet they are all in denial of their actions.
Nothing pisses me off than seeing an African preaching the virtues of an Arab religion whilst living in abject poverty.The Arabs gave these "fucked-up" Africans in Somalia, Northern Nigeria,Burkina Faso,Mali,Kenya etc their fabled koran,mosques and nothing else. They are so screwed up they even kidnapped an Australian medic who has been providing medical relieve to them since 1972. The rich Arab Sheiks do not give a shit about their living conditions. What good is Islam in this aspect? And to cap it all they go about bombing and maiming in the name of their false and bogus prophet! Insha Bullshit!. At least one can see the evidence in the Christian schools and hospitals spread over our continent that has improved some aspects of our lives.
What hope is there if a cleric of Islam can make a young boy cut his hand off through his sermon?
Read:
Ali said the incident took place Wednesday after the boy misheard the words of cleric Shabbir Ahmed during a sermon.
Ahmed had asked those present to raise their hands if they did not love the Prophet Mohammed, the police chief said, and the teen had mistakenly raised his hand.
Ahmed accused him of blasphemy, and the teen responded by going home, cutting off his hand and presenting it to the cleric on a plate, Ali said.
Police arrested the cleric -- accusing him of hate speech inciting violence, an offense under Pakistan's anti-terror National Action Plan -- once they learned about what happened, Ali said.
The teen, by contrast, had gained a hero's status among locals, the police chief said, adding that the boy's father was proud of his actions

The Islamic religion need to reform itself.
This has to come from the scholars of the faith. The fact is the Sunnis, the Shia, the Sufis & other sects like Wahabis of Saudi Arabia, and the Alawites of Syria will not sit down and resolve their tenets and bring peace.
The radicals within the sects are making it difficult to bring peace to the rest of Islam, and thus giving the religion a bad name.

K Fosu and Kwame Joe, your hatred for Islam makes you so stupid that you can't even stop and use your brain to think for a moment. King Lomotey made a very good point when he said we can only be prepared to deal with terrorism if we know why it is spreading across the world. You K Fosu moronically mentioned that we do not see terrorists in groups such as Eskimos, Australia Aborigines, Jehovah Witnesses, etc. Tell me which of these groups that you mentioned above are being bombed in their countries by the West? Let me give you one good example, when a Malaysian passenger plane was brought down in Ukraine killing all the innocent passengers on board, with both government and rebel forces refusing to claim responsibility, what do you think would happen if Ukraine was a moslim country? The West would have invaded that country without even seeking a UN mandate. I'm not saying what the terrorists are doing is right, terrorism for whatever reason can never be right. What I'm saying is injustice(mostly by the West) is the root cause of terrorism, not religion. Those barbaric idiots use religion(which is very unfortunate) as a propaganda tool to gain support and recruit members.

Djamgbe.you can stick your nonsense where it belongs! When Sir Garnet Woeseley came to Kumasi and killed some of my ancestors the British rewarded him with the grand sum of 24 thousand pound in 1874. My grandfather who was a kid at the time was able to tell us his own experience of it.The aborigines,American Indians etc have all suffered at the hands of the so-called "the west" atrocities. The Arabs did worse to us as "Africans" in terms of slavery. If your befuddled brain cannot accept that then preach your "bullshit" to the IMAMS who are hellbent on preaching violence and hatred.

Agbesi, you mark my words, if Trump gets to represent the republicans he will loose miserably in the general elections, because the majority of the American people are not stupid like you and your Trump. Stop being stupid and ask yourself this question: even if Trump wins the U.S. elections and stops muslims from going to America will that stop Islam from gaining momentum like it is doing right now?
