And by the way, Ghanaians have always lived in harmony with their religious differences so Mr Digilization, you ain't doing any new things.

Let me issue you this disclaimer before you start claim to be the originator of peace and love in Ghana.

Not close to any Christians in this sense, doesn't mean individual Christians,if not for anything, am not oblivious to the fact that there are many individual Christians within the Npp who are his friends and even family members, i was referring to his sudden visits to churches,calling himself Timothy and even a visit to the Pope, He never did none of that for the past seven yrs until he had kick start his presidential ambition,so it's obvious what his aim is,just to get christian votes.

I feel sorry for some of these poor northerners running around Bawumia cheering for him to be elected president. I hope Fulani don’t invade the north if Bawumia should become president. If you observe Bawumia properly, he like to show off but not a serious politician who can be trusted to solve problems for northerners.

Is that what Bawumia learned from their holy book?

Qur'an 5:51 (Original verses in Arab)

The different translation relatively according to the interpreters:-

Sahih International: O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you – then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.

Yusuf Ali: O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Shakir: O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

I even get more nervous when they say a Muslim is a good one. If he's really a good one, he or she would do what his prophet commands. E no be so?

Yes, there is nothing wrong with a Muslim fraternizing with a Christian, but not to the extent of receiving communion. It is a sacrilege to Islam and Bawumia might have caused an abomination.

Why is Bawumiah harping on these two religions in his campaign? Muslims and Christians have lived in peace in Ghana for long before even Bawumiah was born and he should take out this religious issue from his campaign he has no other issue to talk about.

I don't think Dr Bawumia is a madman to make the statement he made.Initially his opponents said a moslem shd not be frequenting a church until he prove them wrong with his strong Christian background.

Were you doing same before becoming a vice president? Had it not been your parochial desire to be president, would you have been doing that? You think Christians are as senseless, lawless, foolish, ignorant, arrogant, primitive, pretentious and murderous as Moslem? Moslem by day and Christian by night person. What a pretender and hypocrite? A useless PhD holder and a cheap popularity person. Kwasiaa buuluubuuluuu!!!

Islam regard Christians as infidels who should be converted to Islam. Why should Bawumia deal with infidels even to the extent of attending their churches? He is just after the Christian votes to propel him to the presidency. Meanwhile the Imams will tell moslems in their mosques that as moslems they have to vote for Bawumia. And Christians will vote for him.!!!

Anytime this foolish son of Satan a liar speaks i feel to vomit, and if i see this guy face to face i break his fucking ugly empty head into pieces. Idiot since the days you wasn't born Christians and Muslims sit together in class room, before i was not born some of my families in Fante land already were Muslims. Go and arrest the dollar and handle the key to IGP and fix the fucking broken economy Ghanaians are facing, stupid fool.
