Mormon Airlines

They really don't like Mormons in Ghana. Nevermind the fact that the government once shut the church down, now Mormons are being blamed for "taking food from the mouth of Ghanaians." Everything revolves around the morphing of GhanaAir into Ghana International Airways (GIA). I bet you didn't know that the church owned an airline, but according to Ghanaweb, GIA is "Mormon-owned." And because GIA has claimed the money that the Dutch carrier KLM was to pay GhanaAir, Mormons are stealing from Ghanaians. It's cloak-and-dagger stuff. According to Ghanaweb, "the national carrier may soon be given to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (sic) and its agent." The church's agent is Sky West airlines who, of course, have a Salt Lake City address and are, therefore, an organ of the Mormon Church. The Mormon connection is "as thick as the thigh of the elephant", says Ghanaweb. Responding to this hostile takeover, the Ghanaian media has taken to telling the "untold story of the Mormons" (Mormons are racist), and how the President of Ghana is in the pocket of the Mormon church. Meridian has a nice series of articles on the church in Ghana. Strangely, they say nothing of this Mormon plot to take over the country. I smell something fishy.
