“The prisoners claim they are being persecuted because they are Muslims.” So often we see the pattern: claims of victimhood combined with aggression and violence.
“Jailhouse licks,” by Nalini, Newsday, June 18, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
FIVE prison officers and seven inmates at the Remand Section of Maximum Security Prison in Golden Grove were injured in a violent confrontation during a routine search of cells by prison officers.
Four of the injured prisoners have been identified as Christopher Lewis, Ijah Braithwaite, Hakeem Brathwaite, Ryan Stephen and Jason Raymond. Newsday was told that at about 7.30 pm on Tuesday, officers of the Special Operations Group from within the prison began searching cells at the North Wing Remand and the North Deep Wings.
According to sources, prisoners began to resist the searching of their cells and began retaliating claiming religious victimisation because they were Muslims. Shouting, Allah u Akbar (God is Great) the defiant prisoners — some brandishing improvised weapons — attacked officers leading to one being stabbed, another officer being cuffed in the eye while three other officers were beaten. Other officers went to the rescue of their colleagues and during attempts to subdue the fighting prisoners, seven of the inmates sustained injuries. During the brawl, the wing was placed under lockdown and officers called for backup from the police and the National Operations Centre (NOC).
Medical personnel were also alerted and the five injured prison officers as well as seven prisoners were taken in ambulances to the Arima hospital where they were being treated up until yesterday amid heavy, armed police presence.
A decision was later taken to lockdown the entire prison and this continued all of Tuesday night. By 10 am yesterday the lockdown was lifted and prisoners were served meals, allowed to be taken to court while some were allowed airing out. Remand prisoners who were identified as the main instigators of the violent clashes remain in isolation.
Several prisoners telephoned Newsday claiming the prison officers unfairly targeted them for being involved in illegal activities behind bars. The prisoners claim they are being persecuted because they are Muslims. They further alleged that real trouble makers who are not Muslims are allowed free rein in the prisons by officers.
“This is not the first time we have been targeted and no one seems to want to know the truth, so we have to do what we have to do to defend ourselves from this unfair practice from within prison walls,” said a prisoner who claimed he witnessed the confrontation. One prisoner identified as Christopher Lewis who was injured in the fracas was able to alert relatives of his plight and photos of his injuries were sent to friends and relatives. The photos are now believed to be in the hands of the prisoner’s attorney.
Newsday understands that officers seized a quantity of marijuana, cellphones and improvised weapons during the searches….

I’m going to go on a limb and say that if the prisoners had weapons, cellphones and drug then they were not being “unfairly targeted” and they were, in fact, engaging in illegal activities. Whether or not other prisoners engage in the same practices is irrelevant for their particular case.

So let me get this right.
Muslim inmates who were committing illegal acts inside the prison say they were unfairly not left able to continue committing illegal acts because they were moslem.
Have they no shame?

Muslims always cry victim, even when they kill.
Is Islamic ‘culture’. the man who rapes a woman is seen as a victim, not the woman who was raped

One of the best books on people crying “victimhood” is Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case by Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson
(Another book explaining how our universities are totally out of control and taken over by liberal fascists. This is a mix of Edward Humes book about Prosecutorial Misconduct, Mean Justice and Horowitz’s Indoctrination U. and how our universities have purged all signs of conservatism and common decency.)
I used to be a racist and about as close to being a card carrying member of the Ku Klux Klan as you could be without actually being one. I’ve got a finely tuned bullshit detector when it comes to this victim bullshit. Once upon a time my only word for blacks, (while I was getting jumped in Jr High and High School and fighting a shitload of black kids.) was “those fuckin’ niggers”. My first lesson in that respect was from a little black kid who overheard some friends and me talking in the quad. I don’t know what we were talking about, he said “Even white guys can be niggers”. I was sixteen and for some reason those words have been tattooed on my brain ever since. “Niggers” is a state of mind. As racism is prejudice prior to investigation.
I overcame my racism by reading books; Black Like Me, Rivers of Blood/Years of Darkness, The Man by Irving Wallace, (Manchild in the Promised Land?), The Autobiography of Malcolm X, (Roots?) and others. It is so clear that the useful idiots like those in our universities, don’t READ. They don’t inform themselves. I’m just a dumb-ass construction worker and dumb as a rock and it just blows my mind what passes for “educated” (edgeekayted?) today. Especially after having grown up surrounded by The Greatest Generation. Today we have the Degenerate Generation.
I took on this “Islam thing” the same way; I read books. I got a bunch of Bukharis, Korans, SK Malik’s Quranic Concept of War, Taha’s Second Message, Reliance of the Traveller, all of Bostom’s “Legacy” books, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam by Peter Hammond, Mayer’s Islam and Human Rights, (haven’t finished it yet), and a bunch of others. But the two books that started it all for me was The Haj by Leon Uris and Because They Hate by Brigitte Gabriel. And many books the libetards retort are “Conservative Bullshit”, like Horowitz, Caroline Glick, Martin Kramer, Raymond Ibrahim, (Robert Spencer’s The Complete Infiidel’s Guide…) Efraim Karsh Paul Sperry, and Michelle, (the hottest babe on the planet) Malkin. I’ve also read many, many articles from the “opposition”; Richard Falk, Reza Aslan, Nathan Lean, John Esposito and Norman Finkelstein. etc.
When I paste these facts on places like the National Union of Students Facebook page, Voice for Peace? and the rest, (I’ve been blocked on LoonWatch which I wear as a badge of honor.) I never, EVER get an intelligent response. They just call me names.

Their version of ‘maximum security’, does not seem so maximum to me. And why the ‘lockdown’ when the very nature of maximum security is lockdown?

Why do I end up on that @#$% Profile page every time I sign in? There’s no direct link back to the article either.

The water around Trinidad are known to be heavily shark infested. Why have these muslims not been allowed the privilege of solo swimming in the warm clear caribbean waters. . No matter where they are, muslims are troublemakers then cry victim hood. I hope rough justice is meted out to them by the courts and sentencing is harsh and qucik but no jail terms. A boat ride in the chummed waters would be appropriate.
