    Muslims are minority in Ghana but majority in prisons across Ghana. Why is it the case? These are the issues a religion like Islam must find solutions to but not to use short cuts to the top.

    Well said but you miss the point. I think the world is best placed to speak about which religion has no sense of tolerance toward other faiths. I'm yet to see a Church put up in Saudi Arabia. A few of your teachers might ha ...

    You see your ignorance. The president is a northerner, so by implication a Muslim and so he should go and build more muslim schools. WRONG! The president is a Christian and Muslims are not the majority in the north.
