Christmas is to the chrietians, and is meaningful to moslems in terms of Islam. Well christmas is always a holiday, and since 1998, it was declared in Ghana to render the day a holiday.

Today, prophet Mohammed was indicted in London for marrying a nine year old teenage girl. He would have been prosecuted as a pedophile if he is. alive. Look at the harm pagan Islamic religion is causing in the world.

Why should we glorify some religion we know it is satanic? The ISIS in northern Iraq are practicing what Quran teaches.The ISIS has told all MOSUL Christians to convert to Islam or they should leave Mosul. A land these Christians have lived from the time of Babylon. Where are they going? And the world has ignored these poor Christians.

Islam should not be glorified in any way. Islam is satanic, and it is a religion of wicked demons.

I watched the forum on BBC about young teenage girls who are forced to marry at the age of eight. According to the forum, African is the third region after Asia and Middle east where this barbaric practices occur.

And it is Muslims men do do this barbaric and abuses to your teenage girls. I agree with Adams. It was an indictment of Muslim prophet Mohammed, who married to a nine year teenage girl.

Laws should be enacted to stop wicked men who marry eight and nine year old teens. The only indictment we can give to Muslim prophet Mohammed is to erect a tomb stone on his grave that bear the name "PEDOPHILE". He is the one Muslim men are emulating.

The forum was full of women with ideas, and that is what Muslims hate. Muslims men do adhere to that barbaric thing by marrying eight year old teens were indicted today in London.

Your prophet Mohammed married to a nine year old teen You know it. It is in Quran. That is why Muslims men like to do the same.

Yesterday, a Muslim woman vow not to allow her daughters go through the teen marriage she was forced into. That Muslim woman recalled her pains and peaceful less situation she went through.

That is what we are talking about here. Can you imagine the pains that nine year old teen went through anytime your prophet slept with her? This girl was saying all the time that "prophet stop, it hurts. Mohammed was saying o! it is good!" Can you imagine that? You must stop forcing teens to marry you Muslims men who are forty years.

Yes, BBC my friend. Even Bangladesh Prime Minister some women from Muslim world were there in their numbers. Why do you think women from Muslim world attended in their numbers?

The forum seek to end female mutilation and teenage girls forced to marry men like you. These practices are common in Africa among Muslim communities, Middle East and South East Asia that are mostly Muslim populated areas.

One Muslims was so happy that she does not want the pains she endured as a teenage wife. You realize the pains your prophet subjected that nine year old teen to. And all these things, it is Quran that encourages you to do that.

You better stop marrying the eight and nine years old teens who are not women yet. We will talk about the evils your Quran supports. If you don't want us to talk about your evil ways then amend your empty Quran.

You doubt that ISIS in MOSUL are forcing Christians to convert to Islam? Is not your Mohammed and Quran that teaches that? Why would a Bangladesh Prime Minister, a Muslims attend such a forum if it is not chronic and endemic problem in Muslims world? All the attendees were happy that, finally, the world is paying attention to Muslims women. Why do you have to cut a woman's clitoris?

I see how empty headed you are. How many Arabian countries have you been you? have you read the quran before? Do some little research beore talking out of your ass. There is nowhere in the Quran that says a man should marry a woman at the age of eight and nine and neither does the quran talks about cutting a woman's clits. That's a cultural practices which your own Ashanti and fanti people still practice. matter fact, how old are u?? I will be so pissed off if I find out that i'm talking to a 13year old jss kid.

What about your prophet nine year old teen girl she married to? Your prophet has been indicted for have sex with a nine year old teen. You should not emulate that misbehavior from prophet Mohammed.

Eidil-Fitr is not a day for celebration folks. It's a day to reflect on your deeds, between you and your Creator and also to renew your commitment to submit yourself to the will of the Most High , ask for forgiveness , Be a good and responsible citizen .For this reason, I don’t see any sense in giving public holiday for this occasion. Again, were are our clerics to tell these Lazy , dirty and corrupt politicians the real meaning of this day? This day is way bigger than their agenda . Not a single muslim died when we were observing Eidil-Fitr without public holiday and it only takes less than an hour to finish the Eid prayer in the morning. So, why the need for public holiday?

Folks, do you know how much Ghana is losing when there is a public holiday? I will let you find out yourself but that money can build a lot of schools in the country . We are not serious as a nation folks. Did I hear the president saying that our friends have abandon us in trying times? Mr president, our friends are not Lazy like we are and they don’t give holidays anyhow like we do.
