Media Release Re: Suspected Trinidad and Tobago nationals involved in terrorism

Media Release: 

Re: Suspected Trinidad and Tobago nationals whom the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) have said to be involved in terrorism and who are suspected of financing terrorism.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) holds a different view from that of the present Trinidad and Tobago government administration as regards the 182 suspected nationals whom the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) have said to be involved in terrorism and in particular the 69 who are suspected of financing terrorism. This as it was revealed by Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister and the Office of the Attorney General Stuart Young now raises the question of this government’s motives and how are they going to treat with this information. It appears as though this present administration is allowing itself to be drawn into a war with its own citizen much to their own disadvantage and at the expense and peril of the ordinary man on the streets. Why is the Trinidad and Tobago government allowing other countries to define who we are as a people, why are they allowing other countries to define our laws? What we have existing here in this country is an anti-Reggae hip pop gangster culture mentality and common criminals.

If this present Trinidad and Tobago government under the stewardship of the Honourable Dr Keith Rowley wants to talk terrorism; we must first level the playing field. Let us start by calling those who define us by their rightful names.

Malaysia, March of 2015 Ottawa’s Prof Michel Chossudovsky speaking at the international conference the “New World Order” - A Recipe for War or Peace! Said the so-called war on terror is a front to profligate American global hegemony and create a new world order. He said terrorism is made in the US and that terrorism is not the product of the Muslim world. According to him the US global war on terrorism was used to enact anti-terrorism laws that demonize Muslims in the Western world and to create Islamophobia. Elaborating on his arguments Prof Chossudovsky said that NATO was responsible for recruiting members of the Islamic states.

September 2004 the United Nations secretary general, Kofi Annan, declared explicitly that the US-led war on Iraq was illegal. Mr Annan said that the invasion was not sanctioned by the UN Security Council or in accordance with the UN's founding charter. In an interview with the BBC World Service broadcast, he was asked outright if the war was illegal. He replied: "Yes, if you wish." He then added unequivocally: "I have indicated it was not in conformity with the UN charter. From our point of view and from the charter's point of view it was illegal."

This being the case what then was it? Was it an act of terrorism? and if it was why then was PFC Le Ron Wilson, who was killed in that illegal war honored by attaching his name to Marli Street, Port of Spain, in his memory? The new street sign now reads “PFC Le Ron A. Wilson Way”. According to Trinidad and Tobago government Wouldn’t PFC Le Ron Wilson be classified a terrorist? His name should be removed.

Muslims have been taught by the Quran and their beloved Prophet (Peace Be upon him) to help and assist their brothers and sisters in oppressive situations. America have campaigned and vowed to remove the Assad Regime in Syria; claiming it to be an oppressive dictatorship. Muslims who have gone and is continuing to go and those who have sent aid to those in need are indeed fighting against and supporting the removal of the Assad regime. Wouldn’t this then be considered an act of goodwill and support? So then why the fuss?   

The Israeli army which I like to refer to as one of the most; one of the best-trained, best-equipped best-fed Terrorist organizations in the world; yes they have nice generals and have nice uniforms but their entire purpose is terrorism; I’m just referring to one example: Just about 8 years ago Israel began its attack on Gaza September 27, 2008 11:25 in the morning, what has been referred to as the most shameful day in the history of the Jewish people. Israel began carpet bombing Gaza and on the first day of the attack they dropped 100 tons of bombs. A 1 ton bomb will decimate an entire city block. Gaza is one of the most densely populated places in the world, 800,000 children live in Gaza; 11:25am is exactly the time when the morning school shift and the afternoon school shift changes so all the kids are in the streets and that was the moment decided by the decision-makers in Israel to begin the attack. It was the first day of the 21 day slaughter that had absolutely no justification. If that’s not terrorism I don’t know what is. Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year from America, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year and further to this the United States has finalized a $38 billion package of military aid for Israel over the next 10 years. From these accounts it can be deduced that America is funding terrorism.

It’s about time the duly elected government of Trinidad and Tobago starts calling America and Israel by their rightful names and begin doing their homework and investigate properly information coming to them from America. They need to start standing up and protect its citizens and speak out on global issues that affect its people. Muslims groups who have established themselves and is operating within the Twin Island State of Trinidad and Tobago will be damned to remain silent and allow others to interfere with there religious rights and freedom; in a country where every creed and race should find and equal place.

Media Release: Re: Treatment meted out to our returning Nationals.

Media Release:

Re: Treatment meted out to our returning Nationals.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) continues to observe, with great concern - the response of the State following the return of five T&T citizens, who were previously detained in Venezuela for 32 months. We are calling on the AG Police Commissioner; Stephen Williams and the Police Service's Professional Standards Bureau to investigate and Call to account the behaviour, actions and decision of all the officers who detained without due process and questioned our returning nationals from Venezuela.

The public has a right to know that after billions of dollars have been pumped into the National Security apparatus over the past 15 years, there was not an iota of a coherent response from the authorities, with respect to any formal interrogation or informal debrief exercise. Instead, a number of named police officers sought to intimidate the returning citizens, by asking irrelevant, prejudicial, ignorant and un-researched questions about Islam in general and Jihad in particular. This was demeaning and is being viewed as religious discrimination. 

This lack of respect having no regards for value and honesty would not be tolerated by the Muslim community and by extension the citizens of this twin island state. The police service showed no compassion and had no empathy to the plight of the families and love-ones who after being drained of their wealth and striped of their rights and self-worth were made to wait and suffer for hours on end to be reunited with their love-ones.

It is indeed laughable that after all this time, law enforcement is unable to carry out a simple fact-finding interview and/or psychological assessment of a civilian. This is not what 21st century policing is all about; its part of a backward decadent mentality that holds the recipe for failure.

With respect to the matter involving Wade Charles. Why were not the family informed of his situation beforehand? Why were they attempting to take him away secretly to San Fernando? This obviously brings into question the public trust and faith in the police service. The police by their actions eroded our confidence placed in them. We are prepared not to let this matter rest until an apology is given and the proper mechanisms are put in place to address the needs and the plight of our returning nationals.

Note: Wade Charles was released on bail yesterday; Wednesday 30th November 2016.

Eid Message 2016

Eid Message:

Assalaamu 'Alaiykum;

All praise is for Allaah, Lord of all the Worlds, the Caretaker of the righteous and the Humiliator of the wicked, who judged that the final victory will be for those who fear Allah who ordered us to follow His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and to call to His Way, and may Allaah send praises and blessings of peace upon our Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and upon his family, his Companions, and those who truly follow them until the Day of Judgement.

We implore Allaah, the Most High, to make this Eid a moment of blessing for everyone. May this Eid bring peace and prosperity globally. We ask for mercy and guidance for our Islamic Ummah, its scholars, leaders, and its Mujahideen. We thank Allah for the grace He has bestowed upon us. We ask Allah to recover for us our lost rights, secure from the subjugation of the oppressors, demanding pride, dignity, splendor, and freedom from every authority except that of the Creator, the Exalted and Highest. Our Eid today has double glad tidings: the glad tidings of Eid ul-Fitr and the glad tidings of dignity and victory. This Ummah, which is the best Ummah selected for humanity, enjoins good, forbids evil, and believes in Allah.

We extend greetings to our five heroic nationals who are still locked up in Venezuela. They have shown endurance in patience, sacrifice and courage. They were optimistic that they would pray Eid prayers in Trinidad but instead were given the blessing of being able to give life to Islam and Ramadhan there! So, all praise and gratitude be to Allah.

We specifically offer our gratitude to our government for its boldness and initiative, who were foremost in this goodness. Through them, Allah rejuvenated the hopes of these nationals and their families and love ones, mobilizing to liberate them from entrapment and to defeat the efforts of an unjust system.

We remind our Government and the citizens of this twin island state of the tremendous grace of Allah Almighty, for the many challenges and how many difficult situations we face and the success and peace we enjoy. So it is obligatory to thank Allah for His grace with words and deeds and the greatest way of thanking Allah is that He be worshipped alone, with no partner. Part of His worship is to seek to empower His Shariah, raise His word, ally the people who obey Him, and shun every law placed by someone who flees from His worship and who vies with Him in His authority. Complete freedom, pride, and dignity can only be achieved by rising above every dominion, submitting to the authority of Allah, the Exalted and Highest. Thank Allah through your deeds, as Allah the Almighty said: “Work ye, sons of David, with thanks! But few of My servants are grateful!”

The Almighty said:

“(They are) those who, if We establish them in the land, establish regular prayer and give regular charity, enjoin the right and forbid wrong: with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs.”

Indeed, Eid is the day of blessings and great reward by Almighty Allaah for good observance of virtuous deeds, fasting and Salaah, thus we need to express our gratitude to Allaah, Who has enabled us to observe virtues, deeds and at the same time, granted us abundant provision during this sacred months.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah ( The Islamic Front ) sees Eid as a day of joy, cooperation, solidarity and brotherhood.

Taqaballaahu Minna Wa Minkum‘ (may Allaah accept it (i.e.good deeds) from us and you).

EID MUBARAK!

We implore Allaah, the Most High, to make this Ramadaan a month of blessing for everyone. May this Ramadaan bring peace and prosperity globally.

Indeed, Ramadaan is the month of blessings and great reward by Almighty Allaah for good observance of virtuous deeds, fasting and Salaah, thus we need to express our gratitude to Allaah, Who has enabled us to observe virtues, deed and at the same time, granted us abundant provision during this sacred month.

Ramadan is the best chance to ask Allah for forgiveness. Thank Him for His blessings and for keeping us alive till this moment. Our sincere prayers, our devotion and our faith in Allah, will make us better humans to serve this country with wisdom and truth.

May the blessings of Allah fill our life with happiness and open all the doors of success now and always. May Allah always guide us all throughout our journey in life. We wish this Ramadan will infuse us with courage that will help us be triumphant over the adversities of life. Aameen..

Venezuelan President's Visit to Trinidad and Tobago

Regarding the Venezuelan President's visit on Monday; I will make a decision today as to exactly what we will do for our five nationals still detained in Venezuela... Rest assured whatever decision I make would be in the best interest to all. Keep in mind I am of the absolute clear opinion that our nationals will not be freed by any Judicial processes but rather an act or decree of the Venezuelan Parliament and or an unequivocal intervention by our Government or an act of God Almighty. Please we must bear patience; and don't ask how much more patience can we have because that is not the attitude of a believer. We must continue to strive to the best of our abilities, and be wise and not be complacent and not fall into error. Our nationals, brothers, husbands, fathers and sons will be reunited with us God's willing and when that time comes we must be prepared to receive therm and that will be our biggest trial... May God Almighty make it easy for us and may He guide and protect us through this trial and reward us with patience and understanding... Aameen...

The True Status of Mothers

Mother's Day is an insult to all mothers. .. The following describes the true status of Mothers take heed...

Abdullah Ibn 'Umar saw a Yemeni man performing Tawâf (circumambulating the Ka'bah) while carrying his mother on his back. This man said to Abdullah Ibn 'Umar, "I am like a tame camel for her! I have carried her more than she carried me. Do you think I have paid her back, O Ibn 'Umar?" Abdullah Ibn 'Umar replied, "No, not even one contraction!!" [Al-Adab al-Mufrad Bukhârî 1/62]

SubhânAllah (Glory be to God)! The efforts of a man who carries his mother on his back while performing tawâf cannot even repay his mother for a single contraction that she went through for him. Wise indeed was Ibn 'Umar's reply to this man to show him how massively indebted he was to his mother. This is the tremendous value and prestigious position of mothers in Islam!

Yet another example is found in the following prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him):

There will come to you with reinforcements from Yemen a man called Uways ibn 'Âmir of the clan of Murâd from the tribe of Qaran. He had leprosy but has been cured of it except for a spot the size of a coin. He has a mother and he has always treated her with kindness and respect. If he prays to Allah, Allah will fulfill his wish. If you can ask him to pray for forgiveness for you, then do so. [Sahîh Muslim 16/95]

Indeed, later on 'Umar ibn al-Khattâb met Uways who was exactly as the Prophet described, and upon 'Umar's request Uways prayed for him. Commenting on this narration, Shaykh Muhammad Ali Al-Hashimî writes:

What a high status Uways reached by virtue of his kindness and respect towards his mother, so that the Prophet recommended his Sahabah [companions] to seek him out and ask him to pray for them!

All of this indicates the high status to which Islam has raised the position of motherhood, and given the mother precedence over the father. At the same time, Islam has given importance to both parents, and has enjoined kindness and respect to both. (Al-Hashimi, The Ideal Muslimah, IIPH 2005, p. 167)

Such is the true status of Mothers. ..

In Response to the Killing of the two School Boys in Picton, Lavantille Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago


Letter to Tajikistan

Assalaamu 'Alaiykum;
Peace and Guidance; Greetings; Good Morning;

Following is a letter I have written to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan condemning Tajikistan's draconian bid to eradicate radical Islam by shaving the beard of 13,000 men and removing the Hijabs of 1,700 women. The letter was CC to Foreign Affairs Minister of Trinidad and Tobago and the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. Please find links to the story and the original letter attached. Thank you.

Re: Tajikistan's draconian bid to eradicate radical Islam


Assalaamu 'Alaiykum;

Dear Minister Aslov Sirodjidin Muhridinovich;
To destroy a people, one must first take away their culture and their way of life. 

We - the Waajihatul Islaamiyyah - condemn in the strongest terms, the announcement by Tajikistan to forcibly shave the beards of 13,000 men and remove the headscarves of 1,700 women in a bid to eradicate radical Islam.  This comes as no surprise for it was foretold by our Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) 
that a time would come when the whole world would gather around to plan to destroy Muslims.

It is evidently clear that the entire democratic and secular world is bent on destroying Islam and Muslims.  It appears as though when the current President of Turkey in 1989 said, “the Mosques are our barracks, the domes are our helmets, the minarets are our bayonets and the faithful are our soldiers..."  It struck a fear in the heart of those who sit in power, but for a country with 95% Muslims whose population is just over 8 million; something or someone had to have had influenced such a decision. 

Human rights and religious freedom shall not be the subject of a referendum.  Tajikistan has failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of religion and human rights.

The Tajikistan administration as is with others in the west have done nothing more than fan the flames of discord between Islam and the godless democratic/secular world.

Our message to you and your government is: you can shave off our beards, ban the hijaab and even destroy our culture but you would never be able to destroy the pure heart of a believer.  He that fuels us is Allaah through the Quran and the way of our prophet Muhammad (SAW).  This course of action will serve you no good as this would seek to harm none other than your citizen and your country.

You cannot change an ideology except through proper education; an education program that is well structured, targeted, specific and conceptualized. 

We beseech the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to distance itself and never adopt this Western-type Islamophobia and to reject all and any such influence and suggestion in the strongest possible way.

Sincerely

Umar Abdullah
