Most Muslims believe: “Islam would never support killing innocent people. Allah of Holy Quran never advocated killings. This is all the work of a few misguided individuals. The real Islam is sanctified against violence. Islam means peace. Islam means tolerance.”
But is it true? Does Islam really preach peace, tolerance and non-violence? Those Muslims who perpetrate crimes in the name of Allah think differently. They believe that what they do is a Jihad (holy war). They say that killing the unbelievers is mandatory for every Muslim. They do not kill because they break the laws of Islam but because they think this is what a true Muslim should do. Those who blow up their own bodies to kill more innocent people do so because they think they will be rewarded in Paradise. They hope to be blessed by Allah, eat celestial food, drink pure wine and enjoy the company of divine consorts.
Are they completely misguided? Where did they get this distorted idea? How did they come to believe that killing innocent people pleases God? Or is it that we are misguided? Does Islam really preach violence? Does it call upon its believers to kill the “non-believers” ? We denounce those who commit acts of violence and call them extremists. But are they really extremists or do they actually do what the Holy book of Quran tells them to do? What does the Quran really teach? Have we read the Quran? Do we know what kind of teachings are there? Let us go through some of them and take a closer look at what Allah says.
What Qur’an Teaches:
Quran tells us to: “not to make friends with Jews and Christians” (5:51), fight them “until they pay the Jizya (a penalty tax for the non-Muslims living under Islamic rules) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” ( 9:29). “kill the disbelievers wherever we find them” (2:191), “murder them and treat them harshly” (9:123), “fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem” ( 9:5).
Quran says that all those who disbelieve in Islam go to hell (5:10), they are najis (filthy, untouchable, impure) (9:28), and orders us to fight the unbelievers until no other religion except Islam is left (2:193). It prohibits a Muslim to befriend a non-believer even if that non-believer is the father or the brother of that Muslim (9:23), (3:28).
It says that the “non-believers will go to hell and will drink boiling water” (14:17). It asks the Muslims to “slay or crucify or cut the hands and feet of the unbelievers, that they be expelled from the land with disgrace and that they shall have great punishment in the world hereafter” (5:34). And tells us that “for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods” (22:19-22) and that they not only will have “disgrace in this life, on the Day of Judgment He shall make them taste the Penalty of burning (Fire)” (22:9).
Quran says that “those who invoke a god other than Allah not only should meet punishment in this world but the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to them, and they will dwell therein in ignominy” (25:68). For those who “believe not in Allah and His Messenger, He has prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing Fire!” (48:13).
As for him who does not believe in Islam the Prophet says that after he dies it will be announced with a “stern command”: “Seize ye him, and bind ye him, And burn ye him in the Blazing Fire. Further, make him march in a chain, whereof the length is seventy cubits! This was he that would not believe in Allah Most High. And would not encourage the feeding of the indigent! So no friend hath he here this Day. Nor hath he any food except the corruption from the washing of wounds, Which none do eat but those in sin.” (69:30-37)
The holy Prophet prescribes fighting for us and tells us that “it is good for us even if we dislike it” (2:216). Then he advises us to “strike off the heads of the disbelievers”; and after making a “wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives” (47:4). Our God has promised to “instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers” and has ordered us to “smite above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them” (8:12). and “to strike terror into (the hearts of the enemies” (8:60).
He has made the Jihad mandatory and warns us that “Unless we go forth, (for Jihad) He will punish us with a grievous penalty, and put others in our place” (9:39). Allah speaks to our Holy Prophet and says “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be stern against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed” (9:73).
He promises us that in the fight for His cause whether we slay or are slain we return to the garden of Paradise (9:111). In Paradise he will “wed us with Houris (celestial virgins) pure beautiful ones” (56:54), and unite us with large-eyed beautiful ones while we recline on our thrones set in lines (56:20). There we are promised to eat and drink pleasantly for what we did (56:19). And have sex with “boys like hidden pearls” (56:24) and “youth never altering in age like scattered pearls” (76:19)
As you see, Allah has promised all sorts of rewards, gluttony and unlimited sex to Muslim men who kill the unbelievers in his name, not forgetting even those with pedophilic inclinations. We will be admitted to Paradise where we shall find “goodly things, beautiful ones, pure ones confined to the pavilions that man has not touched them before nor jinni” (56:67-71).
In the West we enjoy freedom of belief but we are not supposed to give such freedom to anyone else because it is written “If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter He will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good) (3:85).
As for women, the book of Allah says that they are inferior to men and their husbands have the right to scourge them if they are found disobedient (4:34). It advises men to take a green branch and beat their wives, because a green branch is more flexible and hurts more. (38:44). It teaches that women will go to hell if they are disobedient to their husbands (66:10). It maintains that men have an advantage over the women (2:228). It not only denies the women’s equal rights, it decrees that their witness is not admissible in the courts of law (2:282). This means that a woman who is raped cannot accuse her rapist unless she can produce a male witness. Our Holy Prophet allows us to marry up to four wives and he licensed us to sleep with our slave maids and as many ‘captive’ women as we may have (4:3) even if those women are already married. He himself did just that.
[A word of warning for those who may find their version of Quran is translated differently from those appearing in this article: Almost all the translators of Quran have deliberately tried to soften the harsh verses of Quran. Yusufali especially goes out of his way to twists the meaning of the words and hide the harshness of Quran. For example he translates the verse (38:44) that says "take a green branch and beat your wife" as "take a little green grass and strike therewith". Or when he translates the verse (4:34) that says "beat your wife" he cannot help it but to add the word (lightly) in parenthesis.]
Dear fellow Muslim: Is this the Islam you believe in? Is this your Most Merciful, Most Compassionate Allah whom you worship daily? Could God incite us to kill other peoples? Please understand that there is no terrorist gene but there could be a terrorist mindset. That mindset finds its most fertile ground in the tenets of Islam. Denying it and presenting Islam as a religion of peace similar to Buddhism to the lay public is suppression of truth. The history of Islam between 7th and 14th century is riddled with violence, fratricide and wars of aggression, starting right from the death of the Prophet and during the so-called ‘pure’ or orthodox caliphate. And Muhammad himself hoisted the standard of killing, looting, massacres and bloodshed. How can we deny the entire history? The behavior of our Holy Prophet as recorded in authentic Islamic sources is quite questionable from a modern viewpoint. The Prophet was a charismatic man but he had few virtues. Imitating him in all aspects of life (following Sunnah) is firstly impossible and secondly dangerous in the 21st century. Why are we so helplessly in denial on this simple issue?
When the Prophet was in Mecca and he was still not powerful enough he called for tolerance. He said “To you be your religion, and to me my religion” (109:6). This famous quote is often misused to prove that the general principle of Quran is tolerance. He advised his follower to speak good to their enemies (2:83), exhorted them to be patient (Q. 20:103) and said that “there is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). But all that changed drastically when he came to power. Then killing and slaying the unbelievers was justified in innumerable verses with harshness and without mercy. The verses quoted to prove Islam’s tolerance ignore many other verses that bear no trace of tolerance or forgiveness. Is it normal that a book revealed by God should have so many serious contradictions?
The Prophet himself set the example of unleashing violence by invading the Jewish settlements breaking the treaties he had signed with them and banished some of them after confiscating their belongings massacring others and taking their wives and children as slaves. He inspected the youngsters and massacred all those who had pubic hair along with the men and those who were younger he kept as slaves. He distributed the women captured in his raids among his soldiers keeping the prettiest for himself (33:50). He made sexual advances on Safiyah a Jewish girl in the same day he captured her town, Kheibar, and killed her father, husband and many of her relatives. Reyhana was another Jewish girl of Bani Quraiza whom he used as sex slave after killing all her male relatives. In the last ten years of his life he accumulated a score of wives, concubines and sex slaves including the 9 year old Ayesha.
These are not stories but records from authentic Islamic history and the Hadiths. It can be argued that these behaviors were not unknown or unusual for the conquerors and leaders of the mediaeval world but these are not the activities befitting of a peaceful saint and certainly not of someone who claimed to be the Mercy of God for all the creation.
There were known assassinations of adversaries during the Prophet’s time, that took place at his behest. Among them there was a 120 year old man, Abu ‘Afak whose only crime was to compose a lyric satirical of the Prophet. (Kitab al Tabaqat al Kabir, Volume 2, by Bin Sa’d, page 32) Then when a poetess, a mother of 5 small children, ‘Asma’ Bint Marwan, wrote a poetry cursing the Arabs for letting Muhammad assassinate an old man, our Holy Prophet ordered her to be assassinated too in the middle of the night, which was carried out while her youngest child was suckling from her breast. (Sirat Rasul Allah (A. Guilaume’s translation “The Life of Muhammad”) page 675, 676).
Dear conscientious Muslims: Question yourselves- isn’t this compulsive dogma of following a man who lived 1400 years ago, leading us to doom in this changing world? Who are we deceiving? See how our Umma (people) have sunk into poverty and how we lag behind the rest of the world? Isn’t it because we are following a religion that is outdated and impractical? In this crucial moment of history, when a great catastrophe has befallen us and a much bigger one is lying ahead, should not we wake up from our 1400 years of slumber and see where things have gone wrong?
The hatred has filled the air and the world is bracing itself for its doomsday. Should we not ask ourselves whether we have contributed, unwittingly, to this tragedy and whether we can stop the great disaster from happening?
Unfortunately the answer to the first question is yes. Yes, we have contributed to the rise of fundamentalism by merely claiming Islam is a religion of peace, by simply being a Muslim and by saying our shahada (testimony that Allah is the only God and Muhammad is his messenger). By our shahada we have recognized Muhammad as a true messenger of God and his book as the words of God. But as you saw, those words are anything but from God. They call for killing, they are prescriptions for hate and they foment intolerance. And when the ignorant among us read those hate laden verses, they act on them and the result is the infamous September 11, the result is human bombs in Israel, massacres in East Timor and Bangladesh, kidnappings and killings in Philippines, slavery and genocide in Sudan, honor Killings in Pakistan and Jordan, torture in Iran, stoning and maiming in Afghanistan and Iran, violence in Algeria, terrorism in Palestine and misery and death in all Islamic countries. We are responsible because we endorsed Islam and hailed it as a religion of God. And we are as guilty as those who put into practice what Quran preaches and ironically we are the main victims too.
If we are not terrorists, if we love peace, if we cried with the rest of the world for what happened in NYC, then why are we supporting Quran that preaches killing, that advocates holy war, that calls for murder of non-Muslims? It is not the extremists who have misunderstood Islam. They do literally what Quran ask them to do. It is we who misunderstand Islam. We are the ones who are confused. We are the ones who wrongly assume that Islam is the religion of peace. Islam is not a religion of peace. In its so-called pure form it can very well be interpreted as a doctrine of hate. Terrorists are simply doing that and we the intellectual apologists of Islam are justifying it.
We can stop this madness. Yes we can avert the disaster that is hovering over our heads. Yes we can denounce the doctrines that promote hate. Yes we can embrace the rest of humanity with love. Yes, we can become part of a united world, members of one human family, flowers of one garden. We can dump the claim of infallibility of our Book and the questionable legacy of our Prophet.
Dear friends, there is no time to waste. Let us put an end to this lie. Let us not fool ourselves. Islam is not a religion of peace, of tolerance, of equality or of unity of humankind. Let us read the Quran. Let us face the truth even if it is painful. As long as we keep this lie alive, as long as we hide our head in the sands of Arabia we are feeding terrorism. As long as you and I keep calling Quran the unchangeable book of God, we cannot blame those who follow the teachings therein. As long as we pay our Khums and Zakat our money goes to promote Islamic expansionism and that means terrorism, Jihad and war.
Islam divides the world in two parts: Darul Harb (land of war) and Darul Islam (land of Islam). Darul Harb is the land of the infidels, Muslims are required to infiltrate those lands, proselytize and procreate until their number increase and then start the war and fight and kill the people and impose the religion of Islam on them and convert that land into Darul Islam.
In all fairness we denounce this betrayal. This is an abuse of trust. How can we make war in the countries that have sheltered us? How can we kill those who have befriended us? Yet willingly or unwillingly we have become pawns in this Islamic Imperialism. If this sound to you abhorrent, we ask you how can you support a doctrine that is so deceiving, so cunning and so ruthless? Let us see what great Islamic scholars have to say in this respect.
Dr. M. Khan, the translator of Sahih Bukhari and the Quran into English wrote: “Allah revealed in Sura Bara’at (Repentance, IX) the order to discard (all) obligations (covenants, etc), and commanded the Muslims to fight against all the Pagans as well as against the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) if they do not embrace Islam, till they pay the Jizia (a tax levied on the Jews and Christians) with willing submission and feel themselves subdued (as it is revealed in (9:29). So the Muslims were not permitted to abandon “the fighting” against them (Pagans, Jews and Christians) and to reconcile with them and to suspend hostilities against them for an unlimited period while they are STRONG and have the ability to fight against them. So at first “the fighting” was forbidden, then it was permitted, and after that it was made obligatory “[Introduction to English
translation of Sahih Bukhari, p.xxiv.]
Dr. Sobhy as-Saleh, a contemporary Islamic academician, quoted Imam Suyuti the author of Itqan Fi ‘Ulum al- Qur’an who wrote: ?The command to fight the infidels was DELAYED UNTIL THE MUSLIMS BECOME STRONG, but when they were weak they were commanded to endure and be patient. [ Sobhy as_Saleh, Mabaheth Fi 'Ulum al- Qur'an, Dar al-'Ilm Lel-Malayeen, Beirut, 1983, p.269.]
Dr. Sobhy, in a footnote, commends the opinion of a scholar named Zarkashi who said: “Allah the most high and wise revealed to Mohammad in his weak condition what suited the situation, because of his mercy to him and his followers. For if He gave them the command to fight while they were weak it would have been embarrassing and most difficult, but when the most high made Islam victorious He commanded him with what suited the situation, that is asking the people of the Book to become Muslims or to pay the levied tax, and the infidels to become Muslims or face death. These two options, to fight or to have peace return according to the strength or the weakness of the Muslims.” [ibid p. 270]
Other Islamic scholars (Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi, Ga’far ar-Razi, Rabi’ Ibn ‘Ons, ‘Abil-’Aliyah, Abd ar-Rahman Ibn Zayd Ibn ‘Aslam, etc.) agree that the verse “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them” (9:5) cancelled those few earlier verses that called for tolerance in Quran and were revealed when Islam was weak.
Can you still say that Islam is the religion of peace?
Conclusion:
We know too well that it is not easy to denounce our faith as it means denouncing a part of ourselves. We are a group of freethinkers and humanists with Islamic roots. Discovering the truth and leaving the religion of our fathers and forefathers was a painful experience. But after learning what Islam stands for, we had no choice but to leave it. After becoming familiar with the Quran, the choice became clear: it is either Islam or it is humanity. If Islam is to thrive, humanity has to die. We decided to side with humanity. We are still Muslims culturally but we no more believe in Islam as the true religion of God. We are humanists. We love humanity. We endeavor for the unity of humankind. We work for equality between men and women. We strive for secularization of Islamic countries, for democracy and freedom of thoughts, beliefs and expressions We have decided not to live anymore in self-deception but to embrace humanity, enter into the new millennium hand in hand with people or other cultures and beliefs in amity and in peace. We denounce the violence that is eulogized in Quran as holy war (Jihad). We condemn killing in the name of God. We believe in sacredness of human life, not in the inviolability of beliefs and religions. And we invite you to join us and the rest of the humanity and be part of the family of humankind with love, camaraderie and peace.

Allah the moon god
My main body of work has focused on the origins of religious ideology dating back thousands of years. For the past several millennia, there have been two main religious groups predominant in much of the world: One that significantly represents sun worship, and another that revolves largely around moon worship.
As I demonstrate in my books, the main solar religions/cults thriving today are Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, while Judaism and Islam are lunar. (Buddhism follows a largely lunar calendar, but its main character and many of its doctrines and traditions are solar.) I have brought forth thousands of pages of serious, well-documented research to support these contentions of a nature-worshipping or astrotheological origin of much religious thought in currency from antiquity to today.
Although Islam is presented as a “new, divine revelation” straight from God, in reality many of its tenets and traditions – as well as some of its main characters – possess lunar characteristics and attributes. Many millions of people are familiar with the Islamic logo of the crescent moon and star, a prominent and obvious reflection of Islam’s lunar origins and aspects. Why did Islam’s creators and shapers decide upon such a blatant symbol of moon worship and astrotheology? (The term “astrotheology” represents the reverence for and worship of the celestial bodies, including sun, moon, planets, stars and constellations found around the world for thousands of years.)
Allah as moon god
Over the centuries, there has been a huge debate within the field of Islamic studies about the nature of the Koranic god, Allah. In the Koran/Quran, Allah is depicted as speaking repeatedly and directly to Mohammed, revealing that “he” has a distinct personality, even though Muslims may claim him to be an aloof and “pure” spirit. Moreover, it is contended that this god was simply one of many in pre-Islamic Pagan Arab culture, appearing in a pantheon, for example, in the shrine at Mecca, which, it is alleged, was established by the biblical patriarch Abraham. Abraham himself can be shown to have astrotheological underpinnings, but that is another story.
In any event, it is claimed by a number of scholars that Allah was a moon god – indeed, according to some “he” was Allat, the moon goddess:
“[Allah:] Late Islamic masculinization of the Arabian Goddess, Al-Lat or Al-Ilat – the Allatu of the Babylonians–formerly worshipped at the Kaaba in Mecca. It has been shown that ‘the Allah of Islam’ was a male transformation of ‘the primitive lunar deity of Arabia.’ Her ancient symbol the crescent moon still appears on Islamic flags, even though modern Moslems no longer admit any feminine symbolism whatever connected with the wholly patriarchal Allah.”
The contention of Allah as originally a Pagan moon god has been hotly debated, with the total denial of such a notion by Muslim apologists, who redirect our attention to the fact that in the Koran Allah is depicted as the creator of the moon, rather than the lunar orb itself. Another fact will remain, however, that such a distinction is often made even within patently obvious astrotheological religions such as the sun-worshipping cults of old: In the solar religions, the god (or goddess) is both the solar disc and the power behind it.
Ditto with lunar cults, such as within the Egyptian religion, as concerns Osiris, who is lunar, representing the light in the moon, as well as the night sun, the Nile, water and so on. Yet, he is also the life and power behind all natural phenomena, just like so many other deities, including those of the Jewish and Arab tribes, i.e., Yahweh and Allah respectively. In this regard, then, Allah is little different from these other gods.
What all of this exploration reveals is that “Allah” as depicted in the Koran is not the God of the cosmos but yet another cultural artifact – one of thousands of deities from around the world – created this time through the minds of not Chinese people, not Indians or Europeans but Arabs of the 7th century, fierce desert dwellers living in primitive conditions.
Islam is a lunar cult
Among many other evidences that can be put forth as concerns Islam essentially representing a Pagan lunar cult looms largely the Muslim calendar, which is undeniably lunar. As many know, the dates of certain holidays such as Ramadan are dependent on phases of the moon, and some seem to be wholesale readaptations of previous Pagan lunar holidays. One of these pre-Islamic Pagan holidays still celebrated by Muslims may be the observance of Chaand Rat or “Moon Night,” celebrated in 2010 on the new moon of September, the 8th. The astrotheological nature of this fest, which revealed itself nicely to me while I was creating my astrotheology calendar, becomes obvious when one considers that “Chandra” is the name of the Hindu moon god. Factoring in the ubiquitous ancient nature-worshipping religion, logic would dictate that “Chaand Rat” is in reality a remnant of the Pagan moon-worshipping cult.
In the ancient world in several places, a deep schism formed over the millennia between the nomadic, desert lunar cults and settled, agricultural solar cults. The solar cult or “day sky” people established villages, towns and cities based on agricultural knowledge that included the movements of the sun. The lunar/stellar cult or “night sky” people spent much time traveling during the coolness of the night, moving by the stars and following the phases of the moon. Over the thousands of years, these two distinct cultures have clashed mightily.
Long before Islam, desert nomadic, lunar cult/night sky people would hide in the hills and wait until nightfall, thereupon descending into the solar settlements, slaughtering the men, women and children, except for the war booty of virgins, and looting, pillaging and destroying the village. The bloody chronicle of the Old Testament – reflecting the violent, genocidal Israelite conquest and destruction of Canaan – serves as evidence of this brutal and predatory development. One solar settlement after another fell to the stealthy lunar cultists led by Moses, Joshua and others. This night-sky conquering behavior was not only continued into Islamic times but also essentially codified in and validated by the Koran.
Today, the whole world represents the rich, plump and juicy settlement waiting to be invaded, plundered and destroyed by stealthy lunar cultists lurking in the hills. The sooner we all understand these ancient and ongoing dynamics, the better off the world will be.

And where is our money Kuffuor and NPP gave out to that your wasteful asantehene? Let me tell you about the NPP which the whole world has come to know: NPP AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS:1. A tribal party for the Ashantis and their allies. It is the old UGCC reborn 3. It is a party filled with arrogant, aggressive intolerant and frustrated individuals. 4. It is a party of mega corrupt, drug traffickers, and crooks. 5. You are accusers, just as the devil has been described to be, That is why you only specialize to accuse, insult, and rage. The most common insults you use is "foolish, stupid, thief, corrupt, etc," because so you are, just as it is said, a mad man thinks the sane is rather mad. 6. NPP is a party of rogues, and a confused set of people who do not know your left from your right. That is why you tend to politicise everything such as this article. 7. NPP thinks only Ashanti and whatever the ashantis say must be binding on all Ghanaians. You feel superior, up to the grassroots where for instance an ashanti tenant would want to lord over his landlord. And even more. 8. NPP and the ashantis are story fabricators and rumor mongers. 9 Ashantis will hate to the core any disciplined government,and do everything to blackmail that govt. Since independence, they have had three chances to rule Ghana, but only drifted our nation into a mess. Yet they lead in painting black the best governments of Nkrumah and JJ Rawhlings. Foolishness of the highest order!!! EVEN IF IT IS TRUE NDC IS A CORRUPT PARTY ACCORDING TO YOU, NPP IS NEVER THE BETTER as it will be like from frying pan to fire.

I thought every decision taking by the military must be discussed in the parlament before decision for the soldiers to move Mali.
What is the interest of Ghana in this activity?
We must open our eyes not to intensify the work of the colonial masters, rather to become free and independant.

The fact that Ghanaians are working in Mali to be able to send remittances back home does not justify an inclusion of Ghanaian soldiers in France and England ones in a War created by these colonial powers.
The world is interrelated for their who have their interest or shares in.
Why do we not seeing south American soldiers involving in Africas issues?
Interrelation only goes hand in hand with interest sharing or win-win situation. What is the win for Ghana?

I would be very glad, if you could explain why the troops must be sent to Mali. In times of War in a foreign country, Ghana has to gather its resources to bring back home all Ghanaians. I will therefore advise you to prepare instead of sitting around waiting for your death. Don´t forget what happened to Ghanaians in Lybia. Germany, France, England, etc. for example are taking their nationals from Mali.
The fact that Ghanaians are working in Mali to be able to send remittances back home does not justify an inclusion of Ghanaian soldiers into the troops of France, England and USA to serve the interest of these countries. This civil war is empowered by the west. The colonia powers are spinning their net. We don´t have help them to colonise Africa. This has nothing to do with disinterrelation, but national interest.
Why do we not seeing south American soldiers involving in Africas issues?
Because they have nothing to win there.
Interrelation only goes hand in hand with interest sharing or win-win situation.
What is the win for Ghana and Ecowas?
Why is Nato thinking to involve in African matters. NATO use to be an organisation to defend the interest of those nations in the NATO in times of war. For example if NATO partner is attacked by a nation which is not in the NATO.
SO the question what is France, England, US, etc. doing in Mali?

shine your eye as this terrorist operation if not stop will spread to Ghana because Mali is part of West Africa so American and European rather have no business in Mali because the terrorist will spread first West Africa and deal us first so stop thinking the way you reason in your writing, in reality Ghana should even bow their heads in shame because instead of contributing large troops we sending only 120 soldiers when smaller countries afforded 500 troops from West Africa

Clean your head for a better education. Could you please give an imperical evidence that the rebels will attack Ghana?
I don´t see any attack from the side of the rebels. Why are they fighting the government of Mali? What is the constitution of Mali in terms of demographical changes and religious belongings?
If it is the will of the international community to create peace without rubbing the resources of the Malians, they could have been inviting the rebels to UN to find solution of the Malian crisis. Rather the west bring their troops to Mali to fight for the natural resources of the nation. Looking at thing in 10 years. The majority of the Malians will suffer from this decision. We need to solve our problem alone and also integrate other tribes in the power sharing. Otherwise the west will always create conflict by supporting a few tribes against other ones.
Could you please defind a terrorist? Before we can compare whose act cause or is terrorism.
I think this will help us to debate constructively.
Thanks!

If these islamist take over Mali and set up their bases, the most attractive West African countries for them are Nigeria, Ghana and Cote D'Ivoire. They would like access to your resources and it is very easy to get the Muslim north to side with them under the pre-text of Jihad. So, it is in Ghana's security interest to stop this madness in Mali.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwasi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwasi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwasi Prat can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Prat and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratts recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Patt has the gut to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Aren`t we look useless today in time of dependency to the West and US, who dictate to Ghana what to do? Have you ask yourself the reason for the intenvention through the so called rebells. What are these rebels in Mali fighting for? What is the reason for France and England to quickly intervent in any African issue occured? Could it may be that England and France colonial power are flopping therefore they need to intervent also in Mali to secure their interest and bring more debt and dependancy for the another African country? In this regards, what is the exact gain for Africa and especially Ghana to miggle it self with the colonial masters to fight for whom? We need to understand this war before sending our troops to Mali.
The work of the journalist is very dissatisfied. And the information coming from the Ghana government is weak.
More clearification needed!

Please use your brain. The so called colonial masters did not just intervene overnight. The rebels forcefully took that part of Mali bigger than France from the Malian Governnment. The Malian Government has been fighting these rebels since the overthrow of Gaddaffi. The rebels seized that part of Mali 9 months ago. The weapons that Gaddaffi had stockpiled for any eventuality were left and these rebels seized them and wanted to establish a haven for Islamic Terrorist. The rebels started to advance towards the Capital Bamako when France at the invitation of the President of Mali intervened to stop the advance. If France had not intervened by now the rebels would have been in Bamako. Once Mali would be taken, the rebels who are jihadists fighting for the establishment of Sharia law and Islamic States of West Africa would not have left Ghana in peace if they had succeeded to conquer Mali, Burkina Faso etc. Mind you West African Forces were going to be deployed to fight the terrorism and to restore the integrity of Mali. This would have been impossible if France and Britain had not intervened, because France realises that the rebels are better equipped and better trained than the West African Forces.
When you talk use your reason. There are times the colonial masters will have to be heard. After all you don't want to hear of colonial masters but what can you do to them? If they wanted they could come back and colonise you again. What would be your forces to fight them? Just don't talk by heart.

Why are we sending our troops to Mali, france as it is seen, it's anti Islam. they massacred inocent people in Libya, Algeria, tunisia, etc. now they want to attack Malians "rebels" knowing veery well that they are Muslims and Ghana wants to assist them in that direction. Code-devour was our neighbors but we rejected them when they needed us the most but why now; to me the government should not involve himself in this useless war since we have just come out of election and need to clear poverty which is our biggest enemy.

Weather Ghana send troops to Mali or not, these murderers ISLAMISTS do not respect human rights. They do whatever they like with impunity, once left on their own devices, as we are witnessing in Nigeria, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indian, etc.
It does not matter weather you are moslem, christian, jew, hindu, even pagan, there motives is to force their 'EVIL WILLS' on everyone by force.

No more one man commandoes like we did earlier which is good now they should fight their wars we are not included.

So, now is the "NDC govt" telling us that, they are ready to kill Ghanaian solders by pushing them to fight in a protracted war in Mali, and Muslims? When it concerned La Cote D'ivore, it amounted to wanting to kill Ghanaian soldiers, even though the late prez Mills signed a treaty commanding all West African states to do so. But now that it is Mali, and concerned about fighting Jihaddists, Ghana is ready to send her troops to go and die there. Is all die no be die? Again, is Mali not an Ecowas member state, and are there not even more muslims living in Ghana than Ivoriens living in Ghana. Hypocrisy of the highest order by Mahama and the NDC govt.

Old soldier wasit not Nana who calledAkans to wage war against other tribes?That is also tribalism.All the other things u mentioned existed in K4s term

oh Africa when shall we realise the new tactics of attacking Africa countries and steal africa wealth by the west! we must think twice not to go and help the west and steal mali!
this old soja is useless
You have lost the reality of thinking.
why, it is going to give them more practical training in mali to feel how it is reality to be a soldier.
I'm all for supporting but we should ask ourselves: What are you going to do there? WE CANNOT EVEN DRIVE AWAY THE FULANIS AND CHINESE WHO ARE MAKING OUR CITIZENS' LIVELIHOOD DIFFICULT IN OUR OWN LAND. It's a joke.

What's your problem? How can Malian rebels come to Ghana and start killing us? Is that what you think in your small head?
