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

9 Trinidadians nabbed on their way to Syria to join the Islamic State

Aug 2, 2016 4:18 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A Turkish newspaper Monday reported that nine Trinidad and Tobago nationals were detained after the police nabbed a Syrian man suspected of attempting to smuggle them into southern Turkey to join the ISIS terrorist organization.”

In fact, several Several Muslim Trinidad nationals have joined the Islamic State; Trinidad’s Abu Bakr remains the one man responsible for the only attempted Islamic overthrow of a Western government.

Ominously, Trinidad is an island only three miles off the coast of Venezuela, a country that has refused to cooperate with the United States’ anti-terrorism efforts in Latin America, and which “remains a ‘permissive environment’ that promotes ideological and financial support for terrorist organizations, namely Iran’s Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.”

According to assessments by the Department of Security’s  Country Reports on Terrorism 2015:

“South America and the Caribbean also served as areas of financial and ideological support for ISIL and other terrorist groups in the Middle East and South Asia. In addition, Hizballah continued to maintain a presence in the region, with members, facilitators, and supporters engaging in activity in support of the organization. This included efforts to build Hizballah’s infrastructure in South America and fundraising, both through licit and illicit means.”

Trinidad is now “’red-flagging’as potential threats to national security the families of men and women who went to Syria to fight for ISIS.”

To say it repeatedly: we are at war globally with Islamic jihad terrorists who are driven by religious zeal and are victimizing innocents, while Western leftist leaders continue to try to conceal that fact, and betray the public in the face of their own inability to manage multiculturalism.

ISIS training

“9 Trinidadians nabbed on their way to Syria”, Jamaica Observer, August 1, 2016:

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – A Turkish newspaper Monday reported that nine Trinidad and Tobago nationals were detained after the police nabbed a Syrian man suspected of attempting to smuggle them into southern Turkey to join the ISIS terrorist organisation.

The “Daily Sabah” reported that the police had stopped a car with a license plate from southern Mersin province when it entered south-central Adana province with 10 people, including the driver and nine Trinidad and Tobago citizens.

The paper reported that after an initial probe, police found the Syrian man, Asem H, was trying to take the Trinidad and Tobago nationals to the war-torn country, where they would have been recruited by ISIS.

The Syrian suspect was remanded in custody after an appearance at a local court, while the nine Trinidad and Tobago nationals were transferred to Adana Provincial Migration Management for deportation procedures, the report said.

This is not the first time that Trinidad and Tobago nationals associated with ISIS have been held by Turkish forces.

In January this year, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reported that four Trinidad and Tobago nationals were among 961 foreign members of ISIS captured by Turkish forces.

The newspaper referred to a list published in December of people captured from 57 countries.

In April, the Trinidad and Tobago government said it was now “red-flagging” as potential threats to national security the families of men and women who went to Syria to fight for ISIS.

An opposition legislator also claimed earlier this year that 400 nationals had been indoctrinated, radicalised and trained by ISIS…..

    The US are to the Venezuelan governments the same that Jews are to muslims: the source of all and any problem they happen to have, the puppeteers in the shadows spending all their waking hours plotting to bring them down.

      The answer to the barbarity of the anti-Christ army of islam is a powerful, counter-punching, no-nonsense Christian army and Russia is ready to provide that, and is already providing that in Syria. But the American and Western anti-Christian and pro-islamic world stand in the way. Watch please:

        And Russia is also very deeply in with the Iranians, helping to develop their nuclear and missile technology. That doesn’t sound like a helpful “Christian” army. No, Putin’s aims are not spiritual but geopolitical.

          Putin and Russia will defend Christianity and the Truth with their blood.
          America and the West say they are willing to defend the corrupt, decadent and useless political system known ‘liberalism democracy’.

        Thank for your encouraging words (CB)! From my observation America and the West are more threatened by Russia’s resurgent Orthodox Christianity and the Russian conservative moral values than the global islamic jihadism which is already existing in their countries. Russia’s banning its school kids from the fanatical homosexual (LGBTQ) propaganda supported by the West as “democracy”, “freedom” and “human rights” is more of a threat to the West than the global jihadist threat they are all facing today. The way I see it, the West hates Russia because Russia will not bend to their evil and filthy, anti-Christian atheistic moral corruption that the West is promoting as “democracy”, “human rights” and “freedom” all over the world.

        Like you are providing in 88% Christian Ukraine? Oh, and how are thing working out in Chechnya? Why don’t you send your Russia “powerful, counter-punching, no-nonsense Christian army” (ridden with abuse of cadets, including forcing them into prostitution) there to end the insurrection once and for all?

    I thought Caribbean was free from islamists. Does anyone have the whole picture about the Caribbean countries? Are they trained for attacks in Latin America?

    Two big events now is the Olympic games in Rio and the international inauguration of the new Bahá’í Temple in Santiago de Chile. As you maybe know, Bahá’í is the most hated religion by Islam because it actually can convince a few Muslims to convert to a true religion of peace (especially in East African countries like Kenya). Since Bahá’ís build temples for members of OTHER religions to visit (they symbolically have 9 doors, one for each world religion), it will be representatives from many religions and organizations there.

        As this piece proves Graven. Before reading this I thought Trinidadian males lie on the beach all day long drinking cold beers and singing calypsos – when not playing or watching cricket.
        Obviously I was “stereotyping” these guys. I’m often accused of this by lefties. It’s probably a “hate crime”. I don’t know whether it is or not and I don’t care.
        My point is that if the Death Cult can infiltrate probably the most laid back place on the planet it can worm its way into anywhere. Why would these guys swop their ultracool lifestyle for Al, Mo and sharia? Doh! Silly me. For sex slaves, murder and mayhem, and shares of the booty.

      16 years ago Muslims attempted a coup in Trinidad and Tobago. The same story is repeated over and over again . Where there are Muslims there are problems … where many Muslims try to take power , wherever they are .

    It is a little depressing these days to come to this site. A decade or more ago. Robert Spencer seemed to be grasping for content to put on the page. I don’t know if it was because he hadn’t really expanded his network of information, or things were just quieter back then. Now, it seems like the hits keep coming, and there is no shortage of anything to write about. One would think that the world would be waking up to this monstrous ideology and doing its best to put the beast back in the cage, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. People are scared, rightfully so, and do not see any help coming from their leaders in most cases.

    I can only say that I’m thankful for Mr. Spencer’s continued efforts, at considerable risk to his own life, I am sure, and for the users who come here to get informed and at least try to counteract the information blitz that the Left continues to put out against Western culture and in favor of Islam.

    The UN, the civilized world, or someone needs to build a prison, to lock up every would be jihadist that is captured, unless the place they were captured just hangs them. Life at hard labor at the very least.

    Liberal views are not the way to deal with this growing menace.

      North Korea would be a very good place to possibly house and control these animals.
      Give Mr. Un a chance to earn some money, and help the planet. Would be a way out of other problems too.

    Re: the Caribbean
    Sheik Abdullah al-Faisal in Jamaica is a top ISIS recruiter who was deported from the UK after the 7/7 bombings. He does not have a huge local following but preaches via radio around the region “What is the empire? The empire is the khilafah, it is the Islamic state. So when we say the empire strikes back we are saying the Islamic state has come back.”
    In Haiti, there were 4 mosques in 2004, now there are over 200. They recruit by offering free food and education to the dirt-poor.
    Trinidad is a mess, readers can look up Abu Bakr and his coup. He is still active and his sons are (if possible) even more radical.
    Barbados – Muslim-only housing development and the scary comments from a girl at the Al-Falah school.
    Airline sources out of the DR report many young men trying to take flights to Turkey – I wonder why?
    Also see comments from the last two commanders of Southcom on this.
    If you look for the info it is out there and getting scarier by the day.

    SQUEEL Sequel
    Obama says we must respect their culture and emulate their Islamic values.
    Therefore we have no other choice.
    We take these ISIS terrorist captives that our right hand possesses as sex-slaves.

    Wherever there is one muslim who believes in Sharia, Jihad,Taqiyya, beheading and dhimmitude freedom can’t exist. They wait until they have power and make one step at a time to start the killings. Look at Europe today, or England, or Flint, or Buffalo.
