A respected leader of the Islamic faith has vowed that his fraternity would join hands with the Christian community and all other faith-based groupings to stop the planned conference by the Pan Africa International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association scheduled for Accra in July this year.
The Ashanti Regional Chief Imam, Sheihk Muumin Abdul Haroun who spoke in an interview on Kumasi-based Angel FM monitored by MyNewsGh.com on Tuesday evening described homosexuality as an “evil that must not be countenanced in any way because it is despised by God”.
“Wallahi tallahi we will not agree; we Muslims, Christians and the Traditional religion will all rise up; we will not allow them to even step foot here and not even the government can stand in our way; the country does not belong to them; it belongs to us so we decide who does what here”, he swore.
MyNewsGh.com reported on Tuesday of an announcement by the Pan Africa International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association on its website that, “our 5th Regional Conference, 27 – 31 July 2020 in Accra, Ghana. This will be the first PAI conference in West Africa”.
The association defends its decision of choosing Ghana as host of its first ever West Africa conference, based on its “history as the centre of Pan Africanist thought and ideas” and thus “holds special significance for PAI”; but Sheikh Haroun says homosexuality would never have a place in Ghana, let alone to flaunt it in the faces of everybody in a “demonic” conference.
The Chief Imam says the Islamic faith would through the upcoming Ramadan period and Id celebrations mount a spirited resistance against the planned conferences by preaching against it in the mosques and call the attention of the government to its devastating effects at every outdoor event.
