Teacher to pupil 'love letter' sparks concern at TML


Where is the TML Board in all of this? Our investigation reveals the principal of the School has a personal vendetta against the Male teacher; he has been the subject of unfair treatment from the start of his teaching Career; both TUTTA and TML is aware of this. The principal was cautioned on this issue on more than one occasion... If the TML board had applied the Islamic Principle from the very start we would not have had a situation now where the character of a Muslim Brother is being tarnished. It has now shown clear where the TML Board has failed miserably with respect to this and possible other issues... It is about time the TML board awakes from its sleep and pay articular attention to what is happening around them and fix what needs to be fixed and promote what needs to be promoted...    http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Teacher_to_pupil__love_letter__sparks_concern_at_TML-135633158.html

MEDIA RELEASE:

Re: Immigrations’ refusal to allow Entry to Muslim Scholar in Tobago.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is demanding a full explanation as to why Shaykh Abu ‘Umar Usamah ibn ‘Atiyah al-‘Utaybi was flagged at the ANR Robinson International Airport after walking off a Virgin Atlantic flight on Thursday, December 8 2011. We were informed by immigration that after checking with Interpol he was flagged as an Orange alert.
We believe this information to be fabricated in light of the fact Shaykh Abu ‘Umar Usamah traveled from Medina to Dubai then on to Gatwick where he stayed in transit for 14 hours and then to Tobago. Are we to believe that Gatwick, England made an error and allowed a man flagged as orange alert to pass security?
Muwahhideen Publications in co-ordination with Islam.TT are the organisations responsible for bringing the Shaykh and teacher. The Shaykh was scheduled to spend two weeks during which time would have covering several small books during the week and doing general lectures on the weekend throughout several masaajid in Trinidad & Tobago. The topics would have covered a wide spectrum of issues including, magic & jinns, a warning against extremism and terrorism, the impermissibility of revolting against the government and much more. The Shaykh is well known for his classes, lectures and dawah efforts.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is asking for a written apology to Shaykh Abu ‘Umar Usamah ibn ‘Atiyah al-‘Utaybi for the embarrassment and the inconvenienced faced. We view this as a continued form of aggression on Islam and Muslims, especially in light of what transpired recently with the SoE and the detention orders.
We are not satisfied with the manner in which Immigration; National Security and certain Government Ministers whom included the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister handled the matter regarding the Shaykh. Muwahhideen Publications was reliable informed two months ago by Ms. Bola at Immigrations that the Shaykhs’ entry was approved. So why was he flagged?
We demand to know from where and whom did the objection came.
We are asking in addition to a written apology that the Government compensate both the Shaykh and Muwahhideen Publications for the money and effort spent in arranging this auspicious visit.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) would also be seeking an audience with the Prime Minister, The Minister of Foreign Affairs, The National Security Minister, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Justice to discuss these matters and other matters of interest that will forge new and improve relations between the Government and Muslims; socially, economically, and politically. Carded for discussions would be:  
1.  The facilitating of Visa application to the Holy Land.
2.  The setting up off an Islamic Court to deal with domestic, property and other minor offences.
3.  Islamic education.
4.  Crime Prevention.
If our efforts are ignored I am afraid this will create a climate bordering on national anarchy and a mind-set in which all Muslims will feel offended.  In a country where crime is at its highest and morality is at its lowest, ignoring us would not be a good idea.  Under these present circumstances, what moral authority will this democracy have in calling for peace, justice, Sincerity, Honesty, transparency and integrity?

That's Not Our Culture!


The barring of the Cuban President from the Trinidad Hilton does not reflect the true culture of our people. We are a warm, friendly and accommodating  people that spells 'Fun'. Why should we allow a foreign culture to dictate the way we represent our country?... And treat our guest… Why? I think it's disrespectful and a total disregard of our rights...

The Truth About The SoE and the Assassination Plot

Media Release:
Re: The Truth About The SoE and the Assassination Plot
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (the Islamic Front) affirms that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere;
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) in no way supports any plot to assassinate the Prime Minister and some of her Ministers.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) in no way supports any plot to destabilize or overthrow the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is sending a clear message to all who have such intentions that it is without doubt Haram (un-Islamic) to do such at this point in time.
With reference to the Newsday article dated December 6, 2011 in which Nalinee Seelal contended it was Assistant Commissioner of Police Ann Marie Alleyne who unearthed the plot and advised and recommended a heightened security alert to protect the Prime Minister and three Cabinet ministers, identified as targets.

Nalinee Seelalin her article went on to give particulars of the confidential report dated November 18 but what she was unable to state is from where Assistant Commissioner of Police Ann Marie Alleyne unearthed this plot?
My dear people of this Twin Island Republic, Information has come to hand that certain members of a political party not necessarily its leader concocted an assassination plot with the aim of destabilizing the present government and to cause panic amongst the population, with the hope of a calling of an early general election. This plot was created and passed on by a senior member of the police service named Mr. B. An investigation was launched and certain members of the public were approached; whom we know, to assist in the information gathering process. The Kamla administration being gullible, hastily implemented the state of emergency. Acting without proper information and motive the Government plagued themselves with inconsistences as they continued to make mistakes of bad judgment. It appears as though they were trying to achieve a means to an end of something conceived some time ago. What is this ‘something’? One may ask.

If we are to be guided by the events of recent times, we would recall that when the AG took office he immediately fired the legal team that was prosecuting the extradition case of Ishwar Galbaransingh and Steve Ferguson , even though they had a 100% success rate before the courts. He hired a new legal team and as we know it, argued the case improperly before Justice Ronnie Boodoosingh that caused the extradition to be thrown out. Even though the AG pronounced on many occasions his intention to extradite the two he never entered an appeal. From this we think it is clear the AG had no purposeful intention to extradite the two but rather to have them freed. One would have expected some fallout between the two countries as a result but not if America would have been promised something better in return.
On November 15, US Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in our country for private discussions with the Government and to attend a meeting with Caribbean security heads. Soon after he left this assassination plot was revealed and individuals mainly Muslims was picked up and placed in detention. According to Seelal's article why wasn’t these men picked up at the start?
My dear people of this Twin Island Republic, information has also come to hand that a deal was brokered with America to cause the extradition case of Ish and Steve to collapse in exchange for the arrest, detention and possible extradition of these men.
We view this act by our Government as vile and repulsive, a breach of our constitution and a stark violation of human rights. If the Government denies these allegations, it’s only fitting that the AG gives this nation an explanation as to why the original legal team was fired and why no appeal was made.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) continues to stand by its statement that this Administration took an uncalculated risk in detaining the 17 men whom they accused of being part of this elaborate plot to assassinate the prime Minister and some of her Ministers. We are satisfied and relieved that all of the 17 men were released but nevertheless still maintains that the PP Government complicated matters for themselves.
There was no absolute truth to this claim and we call on you the people of these beautiful Islands to join with us in demanding the PP Government stop trying to convince us that the SoE was a success and to apologize to this Nation. It is we the people to decide whether or not the SoE was a success.
We intend to continue to pursue these matters until it is made absolutely clear by our Government if they clam these allegations to be untrue, the real reason behind the SoE and the detention orders.
Copies of this release will be sent to a number of international bodies, including Amnesty International and Transparency International.

Media release: Re: The SoE & the Assassination Plot of Kamla Persad-Bissessar & her Ministers



Media release:
Re: The SoE & the Assassination Plot of
Kamla Persad-Bissessar & her Ministers
An Uncalculated Risk
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) strongly condemns the decisions and actions of the PP Government within resent times in relation to our freedoms and is sending a clear message to this Kamla Administration that they took an uncalculated risk in detaining the 14 men whom they accused of being part of an elaborate plot to assassinate the prime Minister and some of her Ministers. We are now calling on the immediate release of all 14 brothers including those against whom detention orders were made: Ashmeed Choate; Selwyn "Robocop" Alexis; Chionesu Luqman also called "Asim Cuffie" and "Salim Luqman"; and Shane "Asadullah" Crawford. If our demands are not addressed it’s only obvious that the PP Government would make matters more complicated for themselves.
In addition we are seeking answers to the following questions:
·         On August 21, on the heels of a 48-hour killing spree that left 11 dead in various parts of the country, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar declared a "limited" State of Emergency (SoE).
The PM, who had called a late evening press conference at her home in Phillipine, South Trinidad, attributed the move to the need to avert a specific threat to national security but said the SoE, was also expected to manage the country's growing crime problem, which stemmed in part from heavily armed street gangs. My question is; was it to protect their seat of power or was it to protect the people? Days later, National Security Minister, John Sandy, said the crisis that had been averted would have made the 1990 coup attempt by the Jamaat al-Muslimeen "look like a garden party". Where is your crisis Mr. Sandy? The 1990 coup still does not look like a “Garden Party” to us.

·         When Minister Sandy was asked why he had remained “mum” on the issue of the assassination plot, he said, “Because the head of the National Security Council has spoken, she has said all that needed to be said, I have nothing to add.” Our question to you Minister Sandy; are you a puppet? Your position as a the Minister of National Security is an electoral one; when the people of this Twin Island State voted, they voted for a credible and competent person to fill the post of National Security Minister whom they expect to properly represent. The Security Council and its chair had nothing to do with the electorate. Why allow the chair of this council who happens to be your boss, speak on this issue?

·         On November 15, US Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in our country for private discussions with the Government and to attend a meeting with Caribbean security heads. Isn’t it ironic that soon after he left this plot was revealed? What were those private discussions about? Is it because they know this plot is a lie concocted by them that they haven’t issued a travel advisory like Britain and Australia did? And why would Britain class it as an “alleged assassination plot.”?  And the Australian Foreign Ministry as a “non-specific security threat”?


·         Persad-Bissessar said there was no evidence that would warrant an extension to the SoE. She said, she is being advised on a day to day basis and should an extension be warranted, it will have to be done before Parliament. She also said on the 26 November, "As I stand today there is no evidence before us, there is no advice from the security forces that we should extend the State of Emergency." We think that these statements are absolutely clear that she could be advised on the 13, December to extend. Is this not true Honorable Prime Minister? So as it stands we still do not and would not know if the argument of this alleged plot would be used to extend the SoE. Is this correct Honorable Prime Minister?

·         In the first instance when Robocop was held and was freed because of the false evidence of a State's star witness, who was in the Witness Protection Programme, who claimed he was coerced by police officers into giving the damning evidence implicating Alexis. Is it not natural that the police would try to frame him again in light of the many failed cases brought against him? These matters were certainly an embarrassment to the State hence why they will try to implicate him again.


·         Apart from being swell headed with the statement of US Attorney General Eric Holder when he said Persad-Bissessar was a leader not only in this hemisphere but around the world. "She is a person who is admired greatly in my country and deservedly so," she has also displayed qualities showing were women don’t have the caliber to lead but rather to make bacchanal and in this twin Island state she has represented herself as an embarrassment to our women.

·         Persad-Bissessar said; “why should we fabricate something when it came to us from the police officers. What is my motive or our motive for fabrication? And there can be none," Our question to the Honorable Prime Minister is what would anyone gain by assassinating her and her Ministers? Behind every assignation plot there is something to be gained, weather politically, economically or socially there must be something to gain.

PLEASE be advised we are prepared to do whatever it takes to properly deal with these matters. These are the issues that will stand on the threshold between this PP government and Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front). These are the issues that will determine our relationship in the coming months. These are the issues that will either make or break the PP Government.
We are open for dialog on these and other issues.
