That is the character of that religion, violence. When they are in the minority, they pretend to be peaceful, when they have significant numbers, they begin to ask for unfounded rights and you resist, they play the victim and go on the offensive. When they're in the majority, they impose their will and when you stand up to them, they kill you. That is Islam. That religion is occultic and evil.
If you want to understand this, listen to Dr Zakar Neik. He says without fear that if you join Islam you cannot leave and you leave, you should be killed because you cannot join them and get to know their secrets and take them out. That is occultic.

Those Africans who are blindly following this Arab occultism should know Islam has nothing good for them except destruction. They deceive them to give birth to too many children just to have numbers, no matter how worthless these children become. Just check in Ghana, any crime recorded will always have a Musah or Mohammed involved. Just check, robbery, theft, fighting, killing, etc.

If they send you to find the devil and you walk pass the next Muslim, then you will find no devil.

The best Muslims in their thoughts are the worst Christians. That religion is demonic

Its never a surprise how you so call Christians hate muslims. Is as if you guys are always waiting for something to happen so you can vent your hatred. I cant remmember reading on ghanaweb where muslims actively keep writting out their hatred for Christians. There has never been a society problem between Christians and muslims in ghanay. I am begining to think some of this so call Christians are trying very hard to start a beef between this two religions that has a beutiful and respektfull relation with each other. May be those of you who hate the muslims are the real Terrorist.

Yes, Moslems should redefine their roles and that ot their religions in modern Societies. Long time ago in history. Christianity and Christians were evil and violet in society but times have changed and Moslems have changed.
Some Moslems have made Islam noted Worldwide to by some few among them. Times have changed and Moslems have to make the World see that it has changed.
Christianity in the not too distant past was known to be violent, cunning and destructive. Times have changed and Christianity has changed. Moslems worldwide should learn from this basic truth and the world will understand them. Violence in Islam will never support their cause. Moslems, enough of Religious violence and extremism.

@ISLAM...... yes, we can see the peacefulness in the shitty Arab crap when Mohammed himself started robbing people on the caracan routes, when he killed Jews who did not agree with him. Kilked poets who criticised him. Declared war on people to forcibly accept his nonsense or face death. Married Aisha at the age of six and had sex with her at the age of nine when he was 54. You have to be a complete African fool to follow such a conman as a prophet. It is growing because when you use your head and leave that crap, one of your own idiotic African muslims will come and kill you. How can an Arab armed robber and a mass murderer who died over thousand years ago and did nothing for your ancestors determine how you lead your life today? Oh, apostacy is a very peaceful doctrine. What a Ghanaian fool you are!

Economist

The Economist reported in October 2025 that Ghana remains safe from jihadist attacks for now, thanks to a mix of geographic luck, professional security forces, and the militants' strategic choice to use it as a haven for regrouping and trade rather than attacking, though this calm is fragile and localized border areas near conflicts in Burkina Faso are at higher risk.

While generally stable, general travel advisories still warn of petty crime, scams, and risks for solo female travelers, especially with power outages.

Key Points from The Economist (Oct 2025)
Strategic Calm:

Jihadist groups like JNIM prefer Ghana as a market, resource hub, and safe haven, allowing militants respite and profit from local markets like cattle theft, rather than launching direct attacks.

Local Dynamics: Local leaders and communities often tolerate militants as long as they don't cause trouble, creating a delicate balance, notes local journalist Castro Senyalah and Chief Amaltinga.

Vulnerability: The situation is not permanent; heightened risks exist in northern border areas near conflicts in neighboring Burkina Faso, with security experts noting increased activity on the Burkinabé side, says Eliasu Tanko.

Broader Safety Context

General Stability:

Ghana is generally considered stable and one of Africa's more peaceful nations, with a strong democracy.

Travel Risks:

Travelers should still be cautious of petty theft, scams (especially online), and potential crime during power outages, particularly in border regions or after dark.
In essence, Ghana's current security reflects a complex, temporary arrangement with extremist groups, underpinned by economic ties, but its long-term stability against jihadist threats remains uncertain”

This is what the economist wrote this year concerning Ghanas jihadist attack

Mahama is a coward who’s entertaining foreigners from other nations acting cute but his eyes ll clear him very soon!’

One jihadist attack will open the door and we ll see how this Mahama reacts with his stupid, naive self acting like an African savior

We have to end Islam in Ghana before these animals destroy the peace we are enjoying. That thing is a Political movement and not a religion. We also have to call for removal of Muntaka for importing large number of fulanis into the country on daily basis. I suspect he has an agenda to islamise the country. President Mahama is also a threat to national security for giving appointments to fulanis who threatened Ghana. A fulani group in Ghana is also working with government to grant citizenship to all fulanis who enter the country with the help of Star Ghana NGO.
