Text that was recently added to the lead: especially about Islam

[edit]

This text was recently added to the lead and then reverted:

Traditional religions such as the Akan Traditional Religion[1] and Dagbon Traditional Religion[2] are indigenous. Islam was the first Abrahamic religion to be introduced in the country between the tenth[3] and 15th centuries,[4] by Muslim traders.[5] Later, Christianity was introduced via contact with the European missionaries.[6][7] Christianity is mainly in the country's south[8] while Islam is based in the north.[9] Islam gained widespread acceptance in northern Ghana after Yaa Naa Zanjina accepted the faith in the 17th century.[10][11][12]

My opinion is that this text contain some deadlinks and some strange grammar but the sources could be useful. Rolluik (talk) 22:26, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
