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

Until you condemn violence equally regardless of the perpetrator's faith u are been selective bias and hypocritical. You label conflicts involving Muslims as Islam violence yet stay silent when Christians and traditionalists kill each other over chieftaincy and land in Ghana never calling it Christian violence these are facts Sampa 2024-2025, Anum Apapam 2024, Bawjiase 2024, Yong Dakpemyili 2022, Princes Town 2007, Tuobodom 2000 Nkunay and Alavanyo and many others all saw deaths from such conflicts, but guys hypocritically don't mention their religion That double standard,Pure rank hypocrisy

The acts of violence and killings unfolding across Africa say otherwise. Those responsible for the violence on a constant basis are Jihadists and Boko Haram bandits.

@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

UNDER HIS WATCH ,IMMIGRANTS FROM MALI,BURKINA FASO ,NIGER AND NIGERIANS ARE MARCHING TO GHANA BY ROAD WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTS WITHOUT NO STOPAGES FROM THE IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES. HIS MUNTAKAH BEING INACTIVE ON THESE MASS MIGRATION OF FOREIGNERS INTO GHANA BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE MAINLY MUSLIMS OF WHICH HE IS ONE? GHANA NEEDS A STRONG MINDED INTERIOR MINISTER TO HAVE STRONG IMMIGRATION POLICIES TO HALT AND CONTROL MASS MIGRATION MOVEMENTS FROM COUNTRIES SUCH AS NIGERIA, NIGER,MALI,BURKINA FASO AND COTE D'VOIRE SO THAT OUR THE COUNTRY GHANA SHALL SEE IMPROVEMENT IS SECURITY, LOW CRIME RATE AND NO BEGGERS ON OUR STREETS.

The slow, naive Mahama is acting cute and soaking himself in vainless accords from Nigerian bloggers whiles our national security is nothing to write home about!

The man is acting like some African savior, trying to fixed outside when he hasn’t fixed home yet!

How can a nation like Ghana have no DEFENSE MINISTER?

Only stupid fools has fallen for the incompetence that of this man who called himself Mahama!!

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.
