With all due respect, we don't have Christians and Moslems in Ghana, we have tribes. Don't create trouble where there is none.

now due to what is going on in the world right now expecially the ISLAMIC STATE(IS),They are rather causing harm to the entire nation because they have declared what THEY call jihad(holy war)which they claimed that if they kill you in the holy war THEY WILL GO TO HEAVEN.But they claimed ISLAM means PEACE BUT looking what is happening now ISLAM MEANS WAAAARRR NOT PEACE ANYMORE.So IMAM with maximum respect kindly educate your fellow muslims well because we the CHRISTIANS are peaceful as you can see it yourself.THANK YOU.

I hope the peace will continue and the Ghana Moslems not become radicalized. The medieval beheadings do not belong in 2014.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists in our day are Muslims, someone has observed.
Although Mohammed is touted as the founder of the Islamic culture we know today, epistemology of history and archaeology credits the pagan, polytheistic pre-Islamic Arabs as the originators of Islam. These were a people whose lives reflected the harsh, desert culture of
intertribal raids or wars, kidnapping, pillaging, massacres, slavery and slave trade. It was in such an environment that Mohammed's Islam was born. The Jinn, Ramadan, Kaaba, etc. are all relics of preIslamic Arabia which speaks volumes about the legacy Islam inherited from the decaying religion of preIslamic Arabia.

Mohammed is also credited by history and archaeology of destroying the 360 gods of the Kaaba except the moon god, Allah, the all-knowing "God", the merciful-- and all the other attributes of the God of Bible.

Inter-tribal hostilities and raids, slave trade and slavery, "caravan piracy", however, did not stop: they were as business as usual.

So the bane of Islam is the concept of sin (a transgression of God's Law, 1 John 3:4). As God's people are known by their love (1 John 4:3), the holy character of God is shown in their lives. It is this love that is the unifying factor in the Christian community.

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:34-35.

The Ummah may need to reeducate its members about the binding effects of the civic laws of Ghana, and some basic courses in the social sciences to combat the radicalization issues in Islam.

The life of Jesus on earth was God's example of a Godlike living for a world that has known sin.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:133.

This type of love goes the extra mile.
Will it harm a neighbor because he belongs to a different religion? No.

"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." 1 John 3:16.

Only in Jesus name (character) can this type of love be achieved.

"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment." 1 John 3:23

Indeed Ghana is a shining example of Muslim-Christian peaceful co-existence! Just imagine how Nigeria, for example, would have been if Muslims were giving solidarity messages at Christian gatherings.
Please, stop philosophizing about abstract doctrines of Islam or Christianity, and lets deal with the current practical efforts by our Muslim and Christian leaders in Ghana. If Muslims deliver solidarity messages bordering on peaceful co-existence is attracting negative criticism, what else could have been done! They need encouragement, rather than criticism. On a positive note, I think Ghana is again showing the whole world that religion need not be a source war and conflict.Kudos, Imam!!!

A peaceful Muslim is a dead Muslim.
They are all wolves in sheep clothing, the have all the nice words in public but inwardly they are revelry wolves waiting to pounce on any one that exposes the evil doctrine of their cult.
I once had a debate with a friend which turned very violent in the end.
This guy couldn't agree with me, with all the enormous evidence that Mohammed was a pedophile. And yet he kept calling Christians kafirs,unclean etc.

@ Morgan Was he a Muslim? certainly not
the man which preached love n peace on earth, lived a sinless life, fulfilled the scriptures by dieing on the cross so that you n i can be have a relationship with the Father, will come one day to raise the dead and judge the earth. john 5:22-25 , Rev 1:17-18. Jesus is certainly not the one who inspired mohammed to kill and marry 6yrs children or teach people that they will get 77 virgins in paradise when they kill people. Certainly not Jesus of Nazareth may be an Arabia failed version of him.
