Dear Editor,
I HAVE observed the comments made Ms. Rhonda Layne on Muslims, during her address at the Cuffy 250 Committee Forum.
I have concluded that these comments have no place in a diverse and plural society.

Guyana remains a secular society that enjoys relatively peaceful co-existence between the various religions. We must celebrate our diversity and desist from public statements that may stir excitement among our populace.

The fragile peace that we enjoy must not be taken for granted; it can all disappear in the blink of an eye if we are not vigilant. The people of Rwanda would be first to say that this is absolutely true.

I cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless utterances.

Yours sincerely,
Ms. Geeta Chandan-Edmond
