Remembering the Cubana tragedy

Oct 06, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
On (October 6th) we mark the Anniversary of the horrible CU-455 Cubana Air disaster off Barbados in 1976, which took the lives of seventy-eight (78) persons including several Guyanese students who were on their way to fulfill their dreams to obtain a profession to serve humanity.
It was an event that demonstrated the intolerance of a group who may not share the same ideology and philosophy – From antiquity this has been a problem with human beings.  We had the major religious leaders superintend the slaughter of millions because they did not share the same beliefs.  The Crusade, the Jihad, the holocausts against Jews and Africans, and the world wars, these all took the lives of innocent persons.
As we mark this day let us hope and pray that we can learn to respect the religious beliefs and philosophy of others, in other words to practice tolerance and love.
It remains my hope that such events will not be repeated and so allow us to bequeath to our children and their children a Guyana and a world characterized by love, decency and tolerance.
To those who still daily commit great sins, if they admit and correct this evil way, they will benefit from God’s forgiveness.
The Quran 39-53 assures, so does the Bible in Isaiah 43:25 and the Bhagavad – Gita 9:30-31.
Hamilton Green, J.P.
