Re: The Mandate Given to the Terrorism Interdiction Unit and our Law Enforcement Officers.

"Agitate the Muslims to react" This was the mandate given to our law enforcement officers, by the United States' Anti-terrorism Assistance Program (ATA) when training started back in 2005. This later formed the bases for the creation of 'the Terrorism Interdiction Unit'.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) was informed that around 7pm last-night Police Officers swarmed into Crown trace and John Street in Connection drive where members of one Musallah and the nearby Masjidus Salaam was terrorized by these officers. They interrupted their prays and even made threats to several young men, to such extremes saying to one young man "We killing you tonight!". Subsequently, two(2) men were shot and injured; both from John John Laventille. The police stayed in the area for at least 2 hours. This was reminiscent of a previous Ramadhan in which the tents used for the purpose of celebrating the Eid was set on fire and destroyed by the police at the very said location.

The detention of the couple and their children in Jordan, the "Carnival Terror Plot", the arrest and detention of 19 Muslims during this years carnival celebrations, the recent claims by the police of an impending war between "Unruly ISIS" and "Rasta City", the weapons discovered at a central Masjid, the reckless statements by the Prime Minister on Wednesday night last, while addressing a People’s National Movement political meeting in Barataria, the killing of the three innocent persons in Laventille, the shooting death of Quincy Peters aka "Tractor" in front of Masjid al Falah in Arima and the release of the bio data list of "Rasta City" gang members, together with this action and behavior of the police last-night in Enterprise are all part of this mandate. Its an elaborate plan to get the Muslims to react violently, which would in-turn compromise their safety and existence.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is therefore cautioning the Muslim Community not to be fazed by this but rather bear patience and exercise restraint; which is the most valuable of all traits, taught in Ramadhan. Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on all Muslims to continue in their work, attending to the needs of their respective communities, to worship Allah sincerely, to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong and Allah would vindicate us and make us powerful. Beyond doubt this is the promise of Allah the all mighty, the all knowing.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) further calls on the government and it's varying arms of law enforcement to observe the proper and just rule of law and proper conduct as actions and behavior contrary to this; as was previously stated, would fail and ruin all chances of delivering value to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
