The Muslim Caucus in Parliament has expressed discontent over the stance taken by the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG), and the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) on the Wesley Girls High School / Muslim students Ramadan brouhaha.

The school is not allowing Muslim students to observe the obligatory Ramadan fasting with the reason that, it is not good for the students.

The school was then directed by the Ghana Education Service to allow the Muslim students to partake in the fast, but the Methodist Church intervened and said the school would not heed the directive.

The CCG and the GCBC subsequently backed this decision, saying it was in the interest of the students.

A member of the Muslim minority caucus in Parliament, Muntaka Mubarak in an interview with Joy News they will not allow any religious group, be it Muslim or Christian to plunge the country into chaos.

"We won't allow any Imam or any Pastor to disintegrate this country into chaos. We won't allow bigotry whether it is coming from the Christian community or the Muslim Community or the Buddhist Community or any community."

"We all subscribe to rules under this constitution", therefore it must be respected, Mr Muntaka who is the leader of the caucus added.

He indicated that the Christian groups have shown bad faith by endorsing a decision that in his view promotes hatred and bigotry against Muslims.

“It is disappointing that the Christian Council and the Conference of Catholic Bishops will support bigotry and hatred. This is pure hatred, and we believe that our country has passed this stage. We will not tolerate this.”

Mr. Muntaka believes discrimination on religious basis will cease if it is widely condemned.

“We expect many people with a conscience to speak against this [form of discrimination]. Let us not be silent. We should not allow a few bigots to take over our coexistence.”

The Asawase legislator was also hopeful that an ongoing dialogue between key stakeholders involved in the impasse will yield positive results.

“We are happy that we met the Minister; we conveyed our concerns, and he keeps assuring us that these issues would be resolved amicably. We will continue to call for calm within the Muslim community.”
