Dear Editor,
Muslims comprise of 12% of the total population. The Hindu and Christian communities have members among the ruling and opposition parties.
The Muslim community needs political leaders, Members of Parliament, among others to articulate our position on issues which affect us and represent our interests.
I find this lacking terribly in the main opposition political parties unlike the ruling P.P.P which has five M.P.s who are Muslims.
What I find strange is that members of the Muslim community financially support these opposition groups, retain some of them in their legal matters and provide other forms of assistance. This in my opinion is tantamount to “using” the Muslim community.
Therefore, please inform me who is the Muslim representative in the AFC/APNU, and which Muslim organization or Masjid they are affiliated to so that I could make contact with them.

Guyana is a secular state. The church is separate from the state. Voters do not elect parliamentarians on the basis of religion. And political parties do not select their MPs specifically to represent religious constituencies.
By coincidence, the ruling PPP has MPs who happen to be leaders of religious organizations but they are in the National Assembly to articulate the general programme of the PPP.
If there are no religious leaders among AFC and APNU parliamentarians, one reason could be because such leaders did not actively campaign for those two parties in 2011. But the AFC and APNU are not neglecting sections of the electorate who happen to be Muslims.
