As global debates rage over conflicts involving Muslim-majority nations, Ghanaian Muslim leaders are spotlighting Islam’s core commitment to peace, education, and community welfare. Speaking after the joyous breaking of the 30-day Ramadan fast at Gyarko Park in the Bono East Region, prominent lawyer Alhaji Amadu Sulemana urged against stereotyping Muslims as hostile or aggressive.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with Nkyeremu News, Sulemana dismissed claims of inherent Muslim misconduct as “totally misleading and unacceptable.” He argued that bad actors exist in every society and should not be pinned solely on Muslims. “Most aggressive individuals in some Muslim communities are not true Muslims\u2014they are illiterates who know nothing about the Quran,” he stressed. Sulemana pointed out perceived double standards, noting that U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran would draw universal condemnation if reversed, yet aggressive sects like those nations wield deadly weapons without tangible justification. “Islam is for peace, not to attack, kill, or detain innocent people,” he affirmed. The event, led by the Deputy Chief Imam in prayer sessions, drew hundreds celebrating unity and reflection.<\/p>\n
