Religion uden tvang
Ghanas nationale storimam, Dr. Shaykh Usman Nuhu Sharabutu var på besøg i Islamisk-kristent studiecenter. Det skete i sidste uge (17.06.10, red.) hvor han var ledsaget af en delegation der var inviteret til Danmark af Dansk Kirkers Råd.
’Vi tror på den samme Gud, alle religioner er gren af det samme træ og vi er alle skabt af Gud’ var blot nogle af de pointer som imamen havde i sin korte tale på ca.15 min. Storimamen talte på Hausa sproget men der blev oversat til engelsk. En tidligere protestantisk ærkebiskop fra Nigeria deltog også i mødet. Imamen der er i midt-80′erne er en kendt skikkelse i Ghana hvor han sidder i diverse nationale råd.
Der var noget interessant at hente fra imamens tale. Han inkluderede animister med i sine overvejelser da han snakkede om andre religioner. Ikke så underligt da der er en del animister i Ghana og Afrika i det hele taget. Han mente at alle havde ret til at vælge deres religion uden tvang. (Forfriskende at høre flere og flere imamer og muslimske teologer lægge fokus på religionsfriheden.)
Hans talsmand som også var med i delegationen som bl.a. bestod af en robust kvindelige politi inspektør, en læge og en kristen repræsentant, sagde at kristne-muslimske relationer i Ghana var meget frugtbar og konstruktive. Storimamen ville aldrig tage vigtige beslutninger uden at rådføre sig med sine kristne kollegaer, ifølge talsmanden. Imamen der skulle videre på officielt besøg til USA driver bl.a. 7 skoler i Ghana der tager udgangspunkt i både religiøs og sekulær undervisning – landet rundt.
Fakta:
Ghana har mellem 16-40 % muslimer, ifølge de forskellige statistikker. De kristne er i majoriteten.
Ghana, ligesom Nigeria har en sydlig og nordlig del som har en koncentreret befolkning af hhv. kristne og muslimer.
Ghana har en demokratisk regering og er et relativ stabilt land i Vest Afrika.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
