Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Trinidad Muslims travel to Venezuela for jihadist training

May 15, 2014 10:50 pm By Robert Spencer

TrinidadMuslimsTheir jihad training, oddly enough, included high-powered weapons, even though Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslims are outraged that the 9/11 Memorial and Museum would dare suggest that jihad had something to do with violence. I expect that Ibrahim Hooper and Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR are on their way to Trinidad and/or Venezuela now, so as to explain to these Muslims how they are misunderstanding Islam.

Anyway, what jihad are Muslims from Trinidad training for in Venezuela? Might it have something to do with the United States? Or would such a suggestion be “Islamophobic”?

“Trinidad Muslims travel to Venezuela for jihadist training,” Caribbean News Now, May 13, 2014 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — Cellphone images seized by SEBIN, Venezuela’s intelligence service, allegedly show Trinidadian Muslims arrested in Venezuela engaging in what SEBIN described as “pre-jihad training” on a firing range using high-powered weapons, the Trinidad Express reported.

The images were reportedly extracted from the cellphones seized from some of the Muslims in a group that travelled to Venezuela from Trinidad and were later arrested in a raid at the Plaza Hotel in Caracas on March 19, together with women and children, who were later released.

The training resembled what takes place in the Middle East as Muslims prepare for what they term jihad, or holy war, an important religious duty for Muslims that includes armed struggle against persecution and oppression.

Intense military, arms and ammunition training is part and parcel of their routine and some of this kind of training, SEBIN alleged, was taking place in Venezuela by some of the Trinidadian Muslims.

In a top secret document prepared by SEBIN and sent to the Trinidad and Tobago government, the pictures in question were taken by three Venezuelan police officers who were later arrested. There are at least six photographs showing the men.

Eight Trinidadian Muslims are currently detained by Venezuelan authorities on suspicion of terrorist activities. The 14 women and children who were held with them at the Plaza Hotel in Caracas on March 19 were released some ten days later and sent back to Trinidad.

This followed a visit of a Trinidad and Tobago delegation headed by Rear Admiral Richard Kelshall who met with Venezuelan authorities two days prior to their release.

Out of that meeting emanated the top secret document given to the Trinidad and Tobago government, which the Trinidad Express reported exposes some alarming security concerns that the country’s security forces need to monitor closely.

The document outlines in detail the day the Trinidadian Muslims were held at the Plaza Hotel in Caracas and revelations about possible terrorist activities that can have far reaching consequences for Trinidad and Tobago….

    “Anyway,” You, said, Robert, ” what jihad are Muslims from Trinidad training for in Venezuela? Might it have something to do with the United States? Or would such a suggestion be “Islamophobic”?”

    Absolutely, in fact, that it the most probable reason for this training–clearly, sharp shooters needed to silence the voices exposing the realities of Islam.

    How many sleeper jihadists are there in the Americas? Where will they strike next? The shopping center? The embassy? The financial district?

    Badly needed: Spanish and Portuguese translations of *all* Mr Spencer’s books.

    Spanish and Portuguese translations of Dr Mark Durie’s “The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom” and of his book “Revelation? Do We Worship the Same God? Jesus, God, Holy Spirit in Christianity and Islam”.

    Spanish and Portuguese translations of ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.

    If the Latino countries in the New World – and this includes all the little Caribbean countries – knew what they were doing, they would slam down a flat ban upon all entry of any identifiable mohammedans into their countries, NOW. Because most of them – Trinidad and Tobago, because of Indian Muslim immigration during the time of the British raj, and (Dutch) Surinam and (British) Guiana, are the exceptions – have, relatively speaking, few mohammedans…yet. If they stopped ALL further influx of mohammedans, NOW, they would be well ahead of the rest of the world. They would do even better, if they started booting out the ones they’ve already got.

    Troubling, Robert …

    No doubt islam is looking at the fertile grounds of South America.

    You all know of the jihadist materials strewn along the Texas/Mexico border. That is well documented, and has been going on for years.

    I wish people would crack open a history book once in awhile, and find out why there were Crusades, and why Jefferson was worried about “Tripoli Pirates.”

      Islam has been looking at the fertile grounds of South America, as well as Central America and Mexico, for years. This has been a real problem; but only to those who have been watching. Refer to the following article by Clare Lopez and the next one – on Iranians working with Mexico’s drug cartels:

      Very disturbing indeed…

    By the time someone in Washington wakes up to the reality that having a wide open southern border is not good for national security, it will be too late. That open southern border is fueling a massive drug and human trafficing industry that is destabilizing Mexico and filling our prisons with Mexicans, but no one seems to care. In the war with extremist Islam that is coming, there will be no rules, and when you invite a 5th column into your country with utterly clueless border security, they will come.

      But people are starting, finally, to figure out that obama is not just muslim, but stupid and incompetent.

      Government run health care, the eternal democrat wet dream, finally passed in the form of obamacare, and it could torpedo the dems going forward because obamacare is a train wreck.

      The presumed dem presidential nominee, Hillary, likes to dress up like a muslim girl. Note the bare feet.

      The dems don’t have a strong hand going forward.
