Infact one thing that moslems has acknowledged and thank Allah is the good Spirit of tolerance that Christians all over the world do have.

In every Christian country around the world moslems are welcomed they are allowed to built their mosques and practice their religion in peace but go beyond the line, go any moslem or any Arab country and you will encounter the opposite.

A Christian in a moslem land is seen as an enemy why?

It is time moslems has to change their behaviours and appreciate what christians has offered to them, that's TOLERANCE which is the true basic of any religion.

This TOLERANCE is what moslems are lack of, and if they cann't tolerate a christian in their land or in their midst that means they don't have the simple basic foundation of a religion and their are deceiving their own spirits.

Christians know this "LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF" and practice this, this is Religion and this is what God want from us.

Fellow moslems let us see your tolerance and not your hatred, for God is a God of Love.

tolerance is the way to go despite our differences. when we strip off our various religious inclinations what is left is our common humanity. religious extremism must be replaced with strong moderation. may God help us.

mahama is just a poser with nothing good in his head ,even our archenemy jj is telling him to reshuffle his useless ministers out but forgets the essence of leadership . if the president already doesn't have a plan of development then he cant expect not to be overwhelmed by events . mahama has been plagued by one pestilence of woe after another because of the evil deeds he has committed such as the murder of mills and his proactive tribalism of the northerners. you can not fit 3 pints of water in a pot that only holds a pint , we can not fit the nation of Akan in this confinement called Ghana as the potential is far greater . Ghana limits our diaspora to those who left after 1957 , the nation of Akan recognizes those in Brazil , Caribbean ,USA etc centuries ago as all children of Akan and most welcome home just as the Israelis also are not limited by time . yes even Michelle Obama is a child of the Akan nation like it or not . We can not talk of the unification of the African continent if the true identities and real stakeholders remain imprisoned in their own countries. we have govts who only wish to retain power but ask the Berbers Yoruba , igbo or whoever individually if they want African unity today like the European union and they will confirm. its their govts who pay lip service but in reality are all against . everywhere we have vultures of corruption perched at the highest offices of the land bleeding the people of their lifeblood dry like the evil vampires they are . yes the uprising of the Akan we have global ramifications and a new breeze of justice will flow throughout the world . long live the republic of Akan

MUSLIMS IN CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES CAN CONVERT CHRISTIANS TO ISLAM. WHY IS IT ILLEGAL IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES FOR CHRISTIANS TO TRY TO CONVERT MUSLIMS TO CHRISTIANITY? CAN ANY MUSLIM ANSWER THIS?

that restriction is wrong in the way it is interpreted. There is difference in opinion among Muslim countries but there is no restriction in changing your religion under normal circumstances.

At times I do ask myself is the word" TOLERANCE, LOVE AND PEACE" not in the Koran?

Since I was a child all that a moslem or papa kramo is good of or can portray is Anger, Hatred, Fighting, Intolerance etc,.etc,....all negative attitutes.

So if words like "tolerance" is in the koran, why cann't we see this in moslems?

I wonder if Amina believes every Muslim or Christian represents Islam or Christianity. Yes Islam teaches tolerance and peace. Amina have you read about current Irish army fighting Great Breat Britain until ten years ago in the name of Christianity. Do you know about the Crisaders who attacked and killed Muslims in the name of Christianity. Do you know that our forefathers were enslave in the name of Christianity. I don't believe Christianity teaches that violence approach. The same thing is happening in Islam where some people have hijacked Islam and use it to their own agenda. Sister, read and study the Quran.

Abdul..stop spewing your anti-christian statements about Irish people killing in the name of Christianity.Don't you know the crusades were a reaction to muslim oppression?.The difference between Jesus and Muhammmed was that Muhammed himself was a warlord.he was not peaceful when he had enough followers.He led several offensive jihads and they marched across several lands killing people and forcing them to accept Islam.After his death there was a lot of conspiracies and violence about who his successor should be.several caliphs were assasinated.u judge Islam by the end of the founder and those who succeeded him and what their goals were.Mohammed himself was not a tolerant man.Mohammed's life is recoreded in the hadith and it was even written that he had over 700 jews slaughtered for rejecting him.the attitude of most muslims can be traced back to the koran and hadith..but even the Koran never said anything bad about Jesus yet states that Muhammed himself sinned.thats the difference between killing in the name of jesus and killing in the name of muhammed.jesus never killed whiles muhammed killed thousands.

Concern..u seem to be very ignorant of your own religion.Any history of Muhammed i mentioned was cited from authentic Islamic sources,hadith.earliest muslim sources like sahih al bukari and sahih muslims.these books are not written by christians but by earliest muslim sources who knew the prophet..so bring your facts to reject my claims if you have any.Go and learn your own history and stop believeing everything your Imam tells you.islam spread by the sword.Muhammed commanded his followers to fight those who did not believe in Allah..exactly what islamists like Boko Haram,Al Qaeda are doing...and you said 'this is one of the reasons why muslims are intolerant'..thats typical muslim nature..always trying to justify your intolerance by blaming others.Jesus has been insulted by atheists so many times but do u see christians rioting and killing in Jesus name?Let Allah defend himself,he is God afterall.

See the difference in scripture not in followers. There are more than 100 verses in Koran where Mohammad incited violence, more particularly on infidels. Nothing like this is found from Jesus in Bible. In old testament whatever violence propagated was for a primitive society living in that type of surrounding. Also we see such violence only upto Joshua and since then no other prophet has incited violence again in Old testament. Yet in period far away from that era again we see those kind of violent verses which in fact took this world back to stone age.

Action speaks louder than words! The whole wide world knows Muslems are very intolerant of people as such, no amount of write - ups from people like you will change anything.

The writer talks about tolerance in Islam yet he refers to the worship of idol worshipers as "obnoxious"?? Is that the tolerance Islam preaches?? How will you feel if someone called Muslim worship "obnoxious acts"?? Again the writer talks about the prophet of Islam allowing Christians into his mosque. Soon after Muhammad died, Christians and Jews were expelled from Arabia. Today, Christians are not allowed to worship openly in Arabia let alone enter that mosque or any other mosque. I can quote several passages in the Koran that talk about killing unbelievers. What does he say about those passages?? Be honest and stop throwing dust into peoples eyes. Look around the Muslim world, Muslim violence against other Muslims. When you cannot tolerate other Muslims like the Shia and Ahmadiyya, how can you tolerate non-Muslims?

Stop wasting your time with those verses.We are well aware that most of the verses you quoted were revealed to Muhammed during his time at Medina when he had few followers,All those earlier verses have been abrogated and this replaced with the more violent verses.most non-muslims dont know but we do.The later verses was when Muhammed showed his true nature..and that nature is what dwells in the Mideast till this day.

I read this article on a flight out of Accra, and wondered whether the author ever lived in a muslim country? Muslim tolerance where muslims are in a majority? Where? Tolerance refers to putting up with someone's negative behavior. No one ever tolerates good behavior. In muslim countries, at the very best, non-muslims are allowed to pay and exist, but nothing else. This article is typical of muslim global brain washing and lies.
