General News of Sunday, 18 July 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comOutspoken Spokesperson to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu takes his turn this week on The Lowdown. Making submissions on GhanaWeb’s Flagship programme, Sheikh Aremeyaw highlights issues that culminated into a seeming near breakdown of religious tolerance between Christians and Muslims. During the fasting period, Muslim students in some schools across the country were deprived of fasting or praying, a situation that generated a national conversation and outcry. Sheikh Aremeyaw noted that politicians usually wait till Ramadan before they visit the communities with foodstuffs when they know that is the period such things are needed less. Among other things, he delves into issues regarding the Zongo community, seeming marginalisation of Muslims on certain fronts, as well as the exploitation of Zongo youth by politicians.
