President Irfaan Ali says that Islamophobia has adversely affected multicultural societies like Guyana and must be uprooted and condemned by all means.
The President asserted that “Islamophobia was [one of] the social biases present in Guyana.” Ali was at the time addressing the opening ceremony of the International Symposium on the History and Legacy of Muslims in the Caribbean. The symposium is being staged by Guyana in association with The Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture and the General Secretariat of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation.
