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

Several Muslims from Trinidad & Tobago have joined the Islamic State

Oct 18, 2014 7:36 pm By Robert Spencer

140616-isis-iraq-jms-1914_dfd9d334d657162e5efe720e4f206e29Despite condemnations from Muslim leaders all over the West, Muslims from the West and the world over continue to travel to join the Islamic State. This is because of the power of the idea of the caliphate — which Obama Administration officials are forbidden to study and consider when evaluating its appeal, since it would take them too close to linking Islam to terrorism, a cardinal sin these days.

“Trinidad Says ‘Several’ Citizens Aid Islamic Group,” by Tony Fraser, Associated Press, October 15, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

At least “several” citizens of Trinidad & Tobago have traveled overseas to aid militants including the group known as the Islamic State, the national security minister of the Caribbean nation said Wednesday.

National Security Minister Gary Griffith said the government has learned of the involvement of its citizens in overseas militant activity from foreign intelligence agencies that he did not identify.

Some of the country’s citizens taking part are fighters and others are providing logistical and financial support, Griffith said in an interview.

“There are those who are sympathizers, those who are providing financial support for the cause, those who are working in passport and immigration and lending other forms of assistance,” he said.

He declined to say how many people there are, beyond “several,” but said the government is concerned about the potential for a security threat in the future.

“What we are concerned about now, and a decision has to be made on this by the National Security Council, is how we deal with such persons who have gone to the Middle East and now want to return here,” Griffith told The Associated Press.

The country of 1.2 million people has a small Muslim minority, about 5 percent of the population, and community leaders have condemned the providing of any assistance to the Islamic State group….

    The flag does appear to read all Jews in English.
    Could this be the reason for the conspiracy theory circulating among some Muslims?

    Islam is religion of terror no matter how much the western leaders and media along with all Muslims(the so called moderates and radicals)deny it vehemently!!1 The truth is obvious that is why these guys don’r\t even want to discuss it condemning such discussions as racists , bigoted, Islamophobic, etc. These are the intimidation techniques which Muslims have followed very well for last 1400 years and now the Western world is aiding Muslims and their lies to spread.

    When the Western world does this they become a party to the MUslim terrorism!!

    Let all those natural belligerents who want to emigrate to Muslim controlled entities do so with the stipulation that they will never be allowed to return to their former countries, and that the forfeit all connection with their former country of citizenship.
    In other words, they are Persona Non Grata except inside Muslim controlled entities.

    Enough of this BullS**t.

      it’s a pity that there isn’t a large, barren island somewhere in the Southern Ocean that we could send all the male muslims to, then they could be Islamic to their hearts content, (until they all die) and the rest of the peace loving world could be free of their barbarism, forever.

        Well, there is Easter Island. That’s where the people got so maniacal in pursuit of giving tribute to God that they deforested their island. Symbolically, that’s a good fit for the Moslem men: destroy today’s sustainable life for the speculative gifts of God, in their case porno heaven Jannat.

        Jannat, that’s what. Moslem? Not a problem.

    In Trinidad, near the airport, are two road signs. One small that says Islam the fastest growing religion in the world and a bigger one that says Islam is moderation.

      I am not sure how to read that.
      Just to be semantically clear are you referring to officially posted road signs or do you mean Islamic group sponsored billboards.

    Another demonstration of how the elites have covered for Islam – black people actually following a black slaver! Islam’s own hadiths tell us Muhammad owned black slaves, and traded in black slaves, and this is part of the Sunnah. Here Muhammad’s black slave trading is justified as similar to selling animals – where Muhammad sells two black slaves for a “superior” Muslim:

    Hadith of Sahih Muslim Chapter 44: PERMISSIBILITY OF SELLING AN ANIMAL FOR AN ANIMAL OF ITS KIND BY SUPERIORITY
    Book 10, Number 3901:
    …There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (pbuh)…Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (pbuh) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for TWO BLACK SLAVES…”

    Further proof of Muhammad enslaving black people:

    Hadiths of Bukhari 73 #182
    …Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and HE had a BLACK SLAVE called Anjasha..
    43,#648
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:…I went to the upper room where the Prophet was and requested to a BLACK SLAVE of his: “Will you get the permission of (Allah’s Apostle) for Umar (to enter)? The slave went in, talked to the Prophet about it…

    I would have thought that Trinidadians are far too laid-back to be bothering with praying 5 times a day and fighting for anything other that their ganga weed?
    This proves that the muslims are in every country in the world, apart from maybe North Korea, though I wouldn’t be surprised if even NK has a few sympathisers!

      Islamists and Leftists in the same neighborhood can never be a good thing.

    Despite condemnations from Muslim leaders all over the West…

    Yeah, the NYC radio giant Don Imus had Reza Aslan on his show Friday, and the guest had stunning news. He noted that every important leader in Islam including CAIR denounce ISIS extremism almost every day, but nobody listens, nobody quotes them, the media don’t give these concerned anti-jihad spokesmen credit for their calls for peace. It’s so obvious that Islam is for peace, but the whitey Judeo-Christians deny this. What Reza said seemed to satisfy Don, who however seemed to remain perplexed why all the pig headedness among young Moslem men, and women, even after Reza’s lecture heard by millions of listeners.

    Wink wink, nod nod. It’s an internal communications problem that has spawned a bigotry problem. And the Infidel man is almost as guilty as the mass murderer sex-slaver rapists. It’s complex, complicated, and there’s plenty of blame to go around.

    The country of 1.2 million people has a small Muslim minority, about 5 percent…

    And how did these Moslems come into being there? Did they come in on small refugee boats from a nearby island where they were turned into refugees and forced out of their homelands. Or were they like Rep Keith Ellison of Minnesota, were they black dudes who caught onto the Islam, liked it, and converted? Or, were they piped in from Pakistan or somewhere and put on the welfare to help fight declining birth rates, like the Moslems migrating north into Russia?

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s a problem on a small island.

      The indentured labourers “coolies” from undivided India although from two very different religions co- existed. and socialised and some even intermarried . The Hindu partner ( whether male or female) had to convert to Islam. There was no question about that. However relations were cordial and there was no animosity.

      All this changed after 9/11. The Indo – Muslims in Trinidad suddenly withdrew from the other East Indians. They became aloof, unfriendly even and kept themselves to themselves. The women began to wear the hi jabs and burkas .
      At the two Eids they began to celebrate these religious festivals by assembling in large groups in public spaces. They began inviting missionary imams from other Islamic countries. They became proud, conscious and aware Muslims .

    Islam is pure evil…if you know that what ISIS is doing is what the Quran really orders, then you will not be surprised…

    Let them go to the Islamic State of their choice–there are 57 hell holes out there, all Islamic, and hope they never get to come back!

    Piss be upon him…

    This is just a forerunner to prophecy, Muslims from all over the World leaving to join the Caliphate.
    In the near future, there will be a Sunni-Shia alliance and jihadists from all over the Globe will leave their dens to join the alliance and attack Israel. They will die in their efforts.
    Ezekiel 38-39

      You are too polite to mention that the conflagration over Jerusalem will almost certainly involve fission devices. That’s the frightening part. What is the likely outcome of a nuclear arms race among Moslem countries? Dubya and Barack did a fine job containing that one.

    Wherever the militant Muslims who are members of ISIS come from to engage in their jihad for Islam by joinin the terrible ,cruel and murderous entity ISIS they are all very wicked,deadly and dangerous . Furthermore the ISIS thugs with their evil and mad mindset. They may be well described in the Bible in Ecclesiastes 9:3. which teaches “The hearts of men are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead.” Just wondering ? Could some of the airstrikes send a number of the ISIS fiends to “join the dead.” ? Moreover, the villains of ISIS are so terrible , cruel and violent that the curse that is found in the Bible might be on them. For the Bible in Psalm 140:11. reads “may disaster hunt down men of violence.” [N.I.V.]
    Still, just wondering could it be that this “disaster hunt down” be in the form of airstrikes that hit the ISIS thugs ? At least on some of them ? Maybe ? Lets hope so.

    “Muslims from the West and the world over continue to travel to join the Islamic State. This is because of the power of the idea of the caliphate”
    I doubt that’s its the power of the caliphate that is attracting these psychopaths to ISIS.
    More likely its the Allah sanctioned right to rape, murder, loot, burn, behead, crucify, own sex slaves and get a one way ticket to Janna.
    These Muslims are sick filth, fit only for extermination.

    When the East Indians were transported in the 19 Century from undivided India to replace the freed slaves on the Caribbean sugarcane plantations, they were a mix of a smaller number of Muslims interspersed amongst a larger number of Hindus.

    In the era of Malcom X in the 1960’s a number of Christian African Caribbeans turned to the American Nation of Islam as a response to what they saw as the white man,s oppression and his religion ( Christianity).

    In the late 1970’s an African Trinidadian man called Abu Bakr sponsored by Muhammad. Gaddafi went to LIBYAand studied Islam . He returned as Imam Abu Bakr and squatted on government lands and began social and welfare projects on those lands for disadvantaged black youth. These youths having received the largesse of. Abu Bakrs welfare projects became Muslim converts . The rest as they say is history.

    In 1990 these Afro- Trini Muslims revolted , stormed the Trinidad parliament , threw bombs, set fires, killed several people and seized the local radio station.
    They said they wanted to free the Trinidad people from the oppression they lived under. Under negotiations these Muslim. Warriors released the
    civil servants and parliamentarians they had wounded and held hostage for several days. Incredibly the Muslim rebels were allowed to go free by the then Trinidad government and no criminal or other charges were. pressed.
