That surprise gambling announcement
Dear Sir,
I noticed from the Media where the Surinamese Investor pulled out the gaming machines from the Sleep-in Casino which surprised most of us, as this gives us the impression that the Casino was on the verge of opening or the opening was imminent despite the protests from our Religious Community and others.
There are about 100,000 Muslim votes within Guyana, so many hundreds of thousands more from the Christian and Hindu Community, most of whom do not support this Gambling, especially near to so many Churches and a stone throw away from the Fatima Church and especially Queenstown Masjid whose members are against such a sinful practice.
Take a look at the Populace. A good number of young people have gone and even following the Devil. So many crimes. Rape, Robbery and Murders are prevalent, several due to some of the movies we have been seeing. If we are to add more, we will make our Society worse. Please Government, stop this Church Street gambling business now. What about you Bishops, Priests and Pandits of other denominations? What say you?
Over to you, Your Excellency President David Granger, as a Religious man yourself where do you stand, tell us please.
Yours-in-Islam
S.M.V Nasseer
For the Queenstown Masjid
