There is an industry on Islamophobia. It produces literature on hate, promotes fear and directs anti-Islamic campaigns. During the years 2008 to 2013 it is estimated that Islamophobic groups had over $200 million to peddle hate and misinformation. Money and misinformation is a lethal mix.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) states that, ‘in 2015 there were 78 recorded incidents in which Muslims were targeted.

How Guyana is trying to combat its high suicide rate

  • The Guyana Foundation plans to establish more centres like the one in Zorg-En-Vlygt

    The Sunrise Center aims to help drive down Guyana’s high suicide rates
