      Very good Job. I am a Guyanese living in the United States. So it was great watching this show and remembering my days in Guyana during Ramadan. Thanks Al Jazeera

      Guyana celebrates the three main religions practiced there. Hinduism, Christianity and Islam. Each religion has two holidays per year. Hindus have Dwali and Phagwah, Christians have Christmas and Easter and Muslims have Eid and Ramadan. We all celebrate together and live in harmony with one another. I grew up in a Hindu home, we use to get beef from our Muslim friends on Eid, and I became a Christian in my 30s. I have family who are both Hindus and Muslims. My hope and prayer is that we remain this way - united. One People, One Nation, One Destiny and FREE.

I was more surprise to learn the majority of Guyanese speak English (since Spanish is the dominant language in South America) and their President is also a Muslim. Their lifestyle and food look similar to us in Malaysia. May Allah bless them. The producers of this documentary deserve a journalistic award.
