Jihad Watch

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

Jihad Watch cited at Counter-Terrorism Strategy Conference in the Caribbean

Dec 10, 2017 9:49 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Jihad Watch reported in past about Trinidad having the highest ISIS recruitment in the Western hemisphere. Following that came another report that warned that the Islamic State was training jihadists in Caribbean tourist hotspots.

Now Jihad Watch has been cited at a recent Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Counter-Terrorism Strategy conference, in which twenty Caribbean countries participated. When quizzed over the risk of jihadis returning at the conference in Port of Spain, Minister of National Security Edmund Dillon replied, according to the Trinidad Express:

It is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when….The UK Sun warned that “fears are growing that Trinidad and Tobago could face a new wave of terror attacks from returning ISIS jihadis” and that we have “the highest rate of ISIS foreign recruitment in the Western hemisphere, while Jihad Watch reported that ‘fears are growing that Western holidaymakers will be targeted in terror attacks by depraved terrorists who have travelled back to Trinidad and Tobago from the beaten caliphate.’

Trinidad is also the only Western country that experienced an attempted Islamic overthrow of the government.

“‘Do we have a plan to stop Trini terrorists returning?’…Opposition MP wants to know”, by Donstan Bonn, Trinidad Express, November 3, 2017:

Naparima Member of Parliament Rodney Charles says Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley needs to tell the nation what is the Government’s plan of dealing with the threat of terrorist acts by returning terrorists.

Charles said Rowley’s inability to develop concrete policies to deal with home grown terrorism, including the issue of returning terrorists, has once again led to him resorting to spinning untruths and blaming the UNC for his Government’s many failings on the crime and terrorism fronts.

“Dr. Rowley again falsely blamed the Opposition for tarnishing our image abroad when we questioned in Parliament his government’s shortcomings on crime and terrorism. Last Friday in San Fernando he said the Opposition in Parliament told the world that we are a nest of ISIS and we’re creating Muslims extremists and jihadists.”

Charles said while there have been several international news reports with respect to the threat to Trinidad and Tobago from returning terrorists, no member of the Opposition is quoted as a source.

“The UK Express of 25th October 2017 warned that ISIS is training our jihadists to target, on their return, tourism hotspots and westerners in the region, and further reported that when quizzed over the risk of jihadis returning at a recent Caricom Counter-Terrorism Strategy conference in Port of Spain, Minister of National Security Edmund Dillon replied: “It is not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’….”

He said that same article also quoted former US Ambassador John Estrada as describing the islands as the terror group’s “unthinking seedbed”, and telling the New York Times: “Per capita, Trinidad has the greatest number of foreign fighters from the Western Hemisphere who have joined the Islamic State.”

“The UK Sun warned that “fears are growing that Trinidad and Tobago could face a new wave of terror attacks from returning ISIS jihadis” and that we have “the highest rate of ISIS foreign recruitment in the Western hemisphere, while Jihad Watch reported that ‘fears are growing that Western holidaymakers will be targeted in terror attacks by depraved terrorists who have travelled back to Trinidad and Tobago from the beaten caliphate.”

“When Canadian, United States, Australian, and UK governments issue negative travel advisories, they have independent sources of obtaining and verifying that information including their Embassies and High Commissions in Port of Spain, Charles said.

He said the Prime Minister clearly does not understand that, unlike his bankrupt administration, governments have structured, varied, reliable and systematic ways of gathering intelligence on global terrorism in general and, in particular, about our home grown terrorists especially while they are abroad.

“It would not be surprising if some of these missions know more than our own Ministry of National Security about drug related and criminal activities taking place locally.”…

“Whilst countries around the world are articulating comprehensive plans to deal with returning terrorists, PM Rowley presides over a clueless administration that has no known plans to confront our terrorist threat.

“This government has no clue as to who left T&T for Syria, when they left, how many left, what are their connections back home, how they were recruited, who financed their travels, where our jihadists went, which battles they fought, what military skills they now possess, who died, who were captured, when will survivors return, and what we will do with them upon their arrival.

“Where are our plans Dr. Rowley? Stop the blame game and start working,”…..

    The opposition in Trinidad seems to have intelligence and an articulate handle on the situation. Maybe the government will hire Robert Spencer as a consultant regarding this ominous situation! That’s the best recommendation I would make.

      I wonder, has anyone noticed as I have, after doing a manual global satellite photo survey of all islands in the tropical, and temperate zones of the globe, that I could find, as of two years ago, (at least), seem to have a mosque, labeled, on G Earth? That is all islands, no matter how small or immaterial, if occupied with a settlement.

      I hope to hell someone with power is made aware of this additional dangerous spread of the raw pure evil enemy gang of and to mankind, islam, to tropical paradises, and remote islands globally. It may well be that most mosques have not been activated yet, to the koranic requirements of death and violence to all non muslims, and non adequate muslims, (such as shia’s) But someday, as always, such will be the fate, by the gang that destroys previously adequate minds, with conditioning and propaganda, from the devil’s own gang of al lah.

    As ISIS crumbles now is the time when the most dangerous terrorists should be expected to return, All western countries have to be extra diligent especially if returning residents have been out of the country for years, are injured, or claim they were visiting, working, or going to school in another country.

    Example 1 … Passport warnings
    #1 All foreign passports that have been recently issued, -Flag
    #2 to all men of fighting age who are not native to the country of the passport- Flag
    #3 and may claim they were injured in an accident.-flag
    #4 say they attend school or work but have no school or employment records-Flag
    example, of a 2-3 scenario above.
    He is African or Middle Eastern carries a Canadian passport -flag, that was stamped to enter Germany Austria, Italy and then Istanbul Turkey 3 years ago -flag but the next entry was entering Athens last month -flag and stamped 2 days ago entering Montreal-flag . He now wants to see Niagara Falls-flag . Customs and Immigration asked about his injuries he claims he was in an accident-flag and it is none of their business-flag. This is an ISIS Terrorist trying to get into the USA.

    Example of a 2,3-4 scenario
    Trinidadian Muslim left 4 years ago to do his pilgrimage in Mecca-Flag ,But he didn’t return on his scheduled flight-Flag . His family has been worried about him Flag He shows up at Island customs with no papers to back up where he has been for 4 years- Flag , No Saudi employment records , School records, or Bank account records -Flag . He says he was treated for an accident in a Saudi hospital.. but calls to the hospital confirm they have no record of him being there.-Flag

    This is most likely an ISIS terrorist. if you let him into Trinidad you will experience much death and injury of your people.

    Those Carrebian nations should rather blame the evil United States for sponsoring terrorist groups like Isis through evil Zionist state of Israel and evil Saudi Royal family. JW cannot help them because it is a forum of lies to cover up American involvement in sponsoring terrorism.
