In South America, the Caribbean nation of Guyana is home to a small but thriving Muslim population, and Ramadan is as important to the faithful there as anywhere in the Islamic world. • • African slaves first introduced Islam to Guyana in the 17th century, but the majority of today's Muslims descend from indentured Indian labourers. • • Muslims contribute to all sections of Guyanese society. The country's first Muslim president, Mohamed Irfaan Ali, credits his election to Guyanese respect and tolerance. Shalimar Ali-Hack, the country's longest serving director of public prosecutions, believes Guyana may have a Muslim woman as president one day. • • This film celebrates faith and festivities during Ramadan in an unexpected part of the world. • • Connect with Al Jazeera World: • ‣ YouTube: https://aje.me/AJWplaylist • ‣ Twitter: / aljazeeraworld • ‣ Facebook: / aljazeeraworld • ‣ Instagram: / _aljazeeraworld • ‣ Website: https://www.aljazeera.com/program/al-... • • #Ramadan #documentary #Guyana #AlJazeeraWorld
