Nationals of countries which have suffered the calamities visited upon them by inter-religious conflicts have voluminous of admonitions for those toying with the incendiary subject.
Ghana has been blessed with a serene atmosphere in which interfaith harmony prevails, something we should not take for granted by allowing ourselves to be used by selfish individuals in society for their evil goals.
Indeed many countries, especially those who have witnessed interreligious strife, admire the religious harmony in our country and would have rather same prevailed in their homelands.
Those who out of obsession for political leverage have thrown caution to the dogs and toying with religious disharmony in the country are dangerous characters who must be called out and shamed.
They have applied assortment of tricks in the past, and witnessing no success in the dirty project, they are on it again. In recent times, they have been busy foisting the banner of disagreement between the two great faiths of Christianity and Islam in the country. With the leverage of social media at their beck and call, they nearly came to pushing the country to the precipice.
With the National Chief Imam and others around, we have always gotten out of the boat of chaos.
They should know by now that the dirty project is not going to work, Ghana being unlike others.
A couple of days ago, Dr. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid made a delivery during a public lecture on how some bad politicians are seeking to disregard the dangers of faith disharmony to their advantage. What a pity!
What do they stand to gain when the disadvantages of their pastime are dwarfed by the advantages of peaceful coexistence?
The hotheads in both faiths are willing to be used for the unproductive project of politicians whose quest for political power can drive them to all lengths.
Such lectures are in the interest of the national security and should be encouraged by all means and their frequencies increased.
Periodic national discourses on the subject is encouraged, considering the unquantifiable advantages inherent in such engagements.
Anybody whose utterance or actions impugn the prevailing peace in the country is endangering the country’s harmony and should be treated as a criminal.
We know of families whose members belong to both Islam and Christianity sharing same compounds and even roofs. It is outright nonsense that selfish politicians should be allowed to rock the boat of national peace  without suffering our wrath. These persons would be quick to flee the country should there be chaos.
We are one people with a common national destiny, our diverse faiths standing us in a position to show off our admirable attribute. We have come a long way together as one people who should be able to overshadow the trickeries and lies of evil-minded persons, since after all monotheism is common to us all.
