@NITAGhana Enough stakeholders consultation? You went to seek consultation from ICT certificate holders and claim you had enough consultation from professional?

[Alalinga! @askdimwit]

@NITAGhana His response is so annoying. How would you even feel that you could draft a bill to parliament pass it without the consent of the people involved?

Not true.

Contextualize “Violent Verses in the Quran ☪️” are

RESPONSES to specific 7th-century Arabian conflicts involving PERSECUTION,BROKEN TREATIES, and EXISTENTIAL THREATS to early Muslims ☪️.

For example:
The Quran’s ☪️ “sword verses” align with Old Testament ✝️ commands like Deuteronomy 20:10-15 (offering peace before war) or Joshua’s conquests.

Christianity’s ✝️ history includes the Crusades (1095-1291, ~1-3 million deaths), Inquisition (~3,000-50,000 executions), and colonial genocides justified by “civilizing” missions (e.g., Americas, ~50-100 million indigenous deaths).

Hinduism’s 🕉️ epics (Mahabharata) glorify war; Buddhism has modern violence in Myanmar against Rohingya.

No religion is inherently “peaceful” or “violent”—all have been weaponized.

1. Quran 9:5 (At-Tawbah) – The “Sword Verse”
Verse Text: “And when the inviolable months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

Historical Context: Revealed in 631 CE during the late Medinan period, post-Conquest of Mecca. Primary records (Sirah Ibn Hisham) detail this as part of Surah At-Tawbah, addressing Arab polytheist tribes (e.g., Banu Thaqif, Hawazin) who violated the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah (628 CE) by attacking Muslim allies and resuming hostilities.

It granted a 4-month grace period (9:1-4) for non-hostile tribes to renegotiate or convert, emphasizing de-escalation. The command applied only to active belligerents in WARTIME, not civilians or perpetual enemies—evidenced by subsequent Verses (9:6) mandating protection for those seeking asylum.

Non-Violent Interpretation: Limits violence to DEFENSIVE RETALIATION; primary data shows NO mass killings post-grace period, with many tribes peacefully integrating.

Probability of systemic misinterpretation as “kill all infidels”: 60-80%, based on anomaly clustering in anti-Islam ☪️ rhetoric (e.g., overlooked qualifiers in 9:7-12); Simplest explanation points to cherry-picking for PROPAGANDA, as full Surah promotes treaty adherence.

2. Quran 9:29 (At-Tawbah)
Verse Text:

“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture—[fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”

Historical Context:
Revealed circa 630-631 CE, tied to the Expedition of Tabuk against Byzantine (Roman) forces and their Arab Christian ✝️ allies, who amassed at the border amid rumors of invasion (per Sirah accounts and Byzantine chronicles).

Early Muslims ☪️ faced EXTENTIAL THREATS post-Meccan PERSECUTION;

this verse authorized preemptive defense against “People of the Book” (Jews ✡️/Christians✝️) who allied with aggressors, imposing jizyah (protection tax) as an alternative to war—mirroring Byzantine/ Sassanid tribute systems.

Non-Violent Interpretation:
Not a call for global conquest but context-specific to hostile groups refusing peace; jizyah exempted non-combatants and equaled zakat for Muslims, ensuring protection.

Primary evidence from Umar’s Caliphate shows treaties granting religious freedom.

Probability of intent in portraying as anti-Christian ✝️/Jewish ✡️: 50-70%, per historical parallels (e.g., Crusader-era distortions);

Simplest explanation attributes to geopolitical framing, as Verse follows peace injunctions (9:28 contextually limits to economic sanctions).

3. Quran 2:191 (Al-Baqarah)
Verse Text:

“And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. But do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Haram unless they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them.

@GhPoliceService I need some clarification this: does it mean the person can use any of the certificates to apply, or the person must have all of them as a requirement?

[Alalinga! @askdimwit]

@tv3_ghana 🤣🤣🤣 I am curious what the shrines were protecting them from.

[Alalinga! @askdimwit]

@ospghana How about the former deputy finance minister, is she not part?

@gyaigyimii Regardless of whoever develops the system, the data should be able to be exported. if that was not possible, then it was not workable system to begin with. It's painful how even our university students can even build this kinda system even better, yet here we're . Bomboclats

[Alalinga! @askdimwit]

@NtimFordjour Power indeed corrupts the mind. Now that it's out of your reach, you have the sense to sympathize with others. I can't remember you doing the same for the 2020 and 2024 killings during the elections. Regardless, we move

@BLEXGUY Hi

[Alalinga! @askdimwit]

@Joy997FM My guy, your credibility is gone. They have used you for the dirty works. You think leadership is about laughing like a hungry hyena, making uncultured comments about your opponents? You were being used, that's all.

@KevinEkowTaylor 🤣🤣🤣 that's mean. Anyway, Jesus self is tired.
