Media Release: MASAJID SEARCHES DETENTION OF MUSLIMS BY STATE

Media Release:

Re: MASAJID SEARCHES DETENTION OF MUSLIMS BY STATE

The Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is strongly condemning the flagrant and wanton disregard of the state and by extension the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) to further oppress and target Muslims of this country; more specifically Muslim communities and Jamaats which have contributed significantly to the population of Islam, the society as a whole and aides in mass charity efforts in this country.

The Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front)  regards the recent searches by Police officers in the following Masajid (Mosques)-Nur e Islam, Munroe Road, Sangre Grande, Bamboo and Laventille jamaats over the last few hours, as juvenile, baseless, and a clear indication of the vendetta and dislike of the state towards Muslims in this country, not to mention the disrespect and abuse meted out to a number of Muslim men from various parts of the country, who the Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) understands is being detained in a number of several police stations throughout the country for a few days now.

This the Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) fervently believes is a sour and pathetic attempt by the state to persecute Muslims in this country, and under the guise of “raids and searches” disrupt the Muslim Ummah (community) locally.

The Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) asks the following questions:

Why were these ad hoc searches conducted to these reputable Masjids?

Explain why their was a so called search for “devices” from these Masjids? And why wasn’t such searches conducted in other denominational or public places of worship?

Why the unconstitutional detainment of Muslim brothers more than 72 hours with no arrest is still on going?

Why is the state persistent on attacking and disrupting the peaceful practice of Islam in his country?

Why wasn’t “searches for devices” conducted in well known hot spots such as Beetham, Sealots etc. ?

And finally,
Why is the state targeting Muslims in this country by disrupting Masjids and Muslims communities by making false claims that there is a plan a foot that Muslims are planning to disrupt Carnival celebrations? Why single out Muslims?

This cowardly and dastardly actions by the state specifically the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) must not be forgotten by Muslim community, and the following questions must be answered. Are Muslims the only group within the society who does not engage in the Carnival revelry? No, so why target Muslims?

Further the Waajihatul Islamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on head of the TTPS for answers into this persecution attempt and attack on law abiding Muslims in this country.

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!

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...

Re: Message From Venezuela: A Glimmer of hope

What’s more tragic than one innocent person in prison? Five innocent Trinidadians detained in Venezuela since March 19th 2014. Without any court hearings, no appearance in front of a judge and no identifiable law that was broken, we, the five men detained since last year are now seeing a glimmer of hope now that our country, Trinidad and Tobago has pronounced its new Prime Minister, Government elect, Dr. Keith Rowley in the General Elections. Celebrating from our prison cells we feel optimistic that our matter will be looked into and we are asking our Prime Minister not to abandon us like the previous government did.

As time is going by our families are suffering tremendously and our children are growing older without us, their father’s who are locked up in a foreign jail. As we listened to Prime Minister Keith Rowley giving his victory speech from our prison cells we all feel a sense of comfort and a potential end to this difficult situation . We were put in this situation by one government and we can only hold on to hope that this government can pull us out.

All our previous cries and petition for help fell on deaf ears, or rather the ears that put us here in the first place with empty promises of help. We are not asking to override the Venezuela law but we are asking that our Government seek our interest and protocols with regards to our matter. We are innocent men who got caught in the cross fire of politics and propaganda and now we are stuck in a prison with no help. We are calling on our new Prime Minister, new Minister of National Security, new Minister of foreign Affairs and our Trinidad and Tobago Embassy here in Venezuela to do whatever they’re suppose to do when their citizens are faced in this situation and correct what is happening to us.

Free Our Five Trinidad and Tobago Nationals Detained In Venezuela

How about we start a 'Free the Captives Program' or a Free the Captives Initiative'... Our brothers are locked away in a Venezuelan jail...  They are not only hungry and in need but trapped as well.. So what did our beloved Prophet (s) say about freeing the Captives? Perhaps we need to remind ourselves what's the purpose of this month.. This month is not about eating and drinking and merriment. . It is about self restraint and curbing our desires... it's about understanding and appreciating the sufferings of others.. This is the second Ramadhan our beloved brothers will be spending in captivity away from their wives and children. . So next time you put that morsel of food in your mouth and wash it down with that sweet drink.. Next time you hug your child or your spouse. . Know that your beloved brothers who are locked away in Venezuela and their children and their wives don't have that luxury .. How can we spend this Ramadhan and live with ourselves knowing this and what are we doing as a Muslim brotherhood to resolve this... What if it where your very own would you not have wanted the Muslims to do something? I'm ashamed and worried about our state of affairs. . We seem to have our priorities mixed up... If you are comfortable. .I'm not. . If you are happy. . I'm not. . If you feel safe.. I'm not. . Probably we live in different worlds. .

Allah’s Apostle said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .”{Book 43, Volume 3, Number 622: Sahih Buhari}

“Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.” The Prophet was asked: “It is right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” He replied: “By preventing him from oppressing others.”{Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 624}

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Feed the hungry, visit the sick and set free the captives." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 552

"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'" - The Holy Quran, 76:8-9

Please I am pleading with the Muslim community for assistance and support. Let us end this Ramadhan making a difference. .. Aameen.

Eight Muslims Including Two Sisters Arrested

I was reliably informed that eight brothers and sisters have been arrested and are being held at both the Arima and La Horquetta Police Station. I called the Arima Police and It was confirmed that 7 brothers and 2 sisters were held on enquiries... I enquired about their status and was told they are being kept in separate cells except the sisters who are being held together in one cell. They were all given dinner.

The exercise was carried out by the La Horquetta Task Force; Sgt. Waldorf. Three of the brothers were taken to La Horquetta and the rest including the sisters are being held in Arima....

I sent a message to both the top CoP and Minister Gary Griffith to Please ensure that justice and fairness is observed in this matter and that full respect be given to these brothers and sisters... Especially the Sisters and to recognize that this is the holy month of Ramadaan and that the Eid celebrations is just next week and that considerations must be given to their religious rights; as regards the prayer and the fast...

An Attorney-at-Law will be looking into the matter. Insha Allah...

Media Release

Media Release:

Re: Newsday Article; 'Venezuelans - TT Prisoner Swap.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is deeply concerned over what appears to be a brutal and nasty game of political corruption at it's highest level. Referring to an article that appeared in today's Newsday entitled 'Venezuelans - TT Prisoner Swap?'.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on the government of Trinidad and Tobago to come clean with respect to these allegations.

Our nationals are not even criminals! They have not yet been charged and further to this has no prior convictions nor criminal records; they are not prisoners they were simply detained and still are; today being a total of 103 days.

In considering the responses of the Foreign Minister; Hon. Winston Dookaran, National Security Minister; Hon. Gary Griffith and Trinidad and Tobago Ambassador in Caracas Mr. Odell Barman it is absolutely clear these allegations are proving to be true. What other reasons could there be? In light of the fact that no evidence has since been brought against these men.

Not Withstanding the damning information provided by Rear Admiral Kelshal we have information that on the 45th day of the detention another bit of damning information was sent to the Venezuelan Authorities indicating that the men had prior terrorism convictions, it was at this time upon request we provided Certificates of Character and recommendations for all five nationals; again proving the Trinidad and Tobago government wrong...

When other countries; America and Canada were getting their citizens out of Venezuela on the 45th day, the Trinidad and Tobago government were further trying to sink our nationals.

A letter was already sent to the Prime Minister asking her intervention, therefore we are  again calling on the government of Trinidad and Tobago in particular the Prime Minister; Hon. Kamla Persad Bissessar  to provide full disclosure of all attempts made thus far in the release of or rather the implicating of our nationals there in Venezuela and to answer two very simple question; do you care? and if you do, what do you intend to do about it?

Media Release: Trinidad and Tobago Muslims Detained in Venezuela

Attention!!!

Media Release:

Re: Detained Nationals in Venezuela

This is a Black Flag Alert!!!

Our brothers/husbands/sons was again denied their day in court yesterday; another case of 'Justice Delayed, Justice Denied'... The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry has forced another postponement in the release of our nationals to the 29th of July 2014... Reasons given to the lawyer; Jose was that the translator didn't come and also that the detention center was not notified to take the men to court... All this, even though we were given a 99% assurances by the lawyers that they would have been released yesterday.

Our Ambassador in Venezuela was contacted who informed us that he was unaware of this and that he was attending a funeral after which he will contact the lawyers. He however asked that we inform him of any further developments; what is the role and function of our Embassy? Aren't they the ones who ought to inform us? Subsequently the Minister of National Security was contacted who also asked what can he do to help...

It must be kept in mind a diplomatic note was sent from our foreign ministry to the Venezuelan foreign ministry last week and an acknowledgement of receipt was forwarded to our Embassy and the lawyers.

It is quite clear these people just don't care...

I want to remind all those who are reading this, even though this Holy Month of Ramadaan is very virtuous and holds within it tremendous blessings; it is not a sacred month... The greatest battle in Islamic history was fought in this month... And the believers won...

Our next move will be decisive, effective and will leave a permanent impression in the minds of all those responsible...

Re: Muslims Detained in Venezuela.

No government! no country! should allow its citizens to be used as a pawns in another country's political turmoil; especially when there exist a strained relationship with this group and its government.

Such action has already led to the infringement of rights of our brothers and sisters and it is therefore prudent at this time that Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) calls on the government of this twin island State to act swiftly and effectively in resolving this matter regarding our brothers held/detained in Venezuela.

The urgency to act by this People's Partnership  administration must be seen and  felt by all as this government must ensure our brothers safe journey back home to Trinidad...

My Detention for CHOGM 2009

Assalaamu ‘Alaiykum; Peace and Guidance to all;



Sorry for being away for so long. This was all due to my detention
during the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2009, held in Trinidad and Tobago. I was deemed a security threat to the meeting and more so to the French President Nicholas Sarkozy.

I was detained while attempting to board the inter-island ferry to Trinidad on Eid ul Adha. I was at the time helping a man carry his luggage – he too was detained. We were both escorted back to the port where our persons and luggage were searched by Special Branch Officers. We were then taken to the Scarborough Police Station for further questioning. The man I was assisting was subsequently released after his story was checked out.

All the while I was seated in an open room area with other officers. I was offered refreshments and a meal which I refused at the time; I was later given bottled water and allowed two phone calls to two of my wives, upon request. While in this area I was questioned by an officer about National Security issues, sometime later there were reports of two robberies in the Scarborough area which they attended to and because of a lack of man power I was placed in a holding cell for a short period, Whilst here, very surprisingly, I was offered a prayer mat which I accepted in the form of a large plastic bag I was also asked at what time I had to perform my prayer and so I was given a reminder when it was time. They indicated to me it was not their intention to place me in the holding cell but due to a lack of man power as I stated before they had no choice. They made sure I was comfortable and even put the air condition on and was told if at any time I felt too cold they would adjust the temperature. I was questioned at length while I was in the holding cell about matters relating to Islam, the Middle East and South East Asia – The Red Mosque in particular – and my Organisation.

Later that evening, Muslim brothers was allowed to visit and purchase a meal for me. At this time, I was taken out of the holding cell and returned to the open room area where the brothers came and had a short conversation with me I was allowed to greet them in the traditional way by shaking hands when they left.

A short time after I was informed that my home and business will be searched for guns and ammunition, later that night I was shown two warrants bearing my name with my home and business address. I was escorted by two marked police vehicles and a party of police Officers including one female officer. I requested of them to respect my home and business and in particular my wife to which they agreed. They made every effort not to alert my neighbours where I live and the residents around my business.

During the search my place was not ransacked as items was replaced in their original places and most important my wife was not disrespected in any way. Certain documents relating to my organisation and Islam were photographed at my office. Nothing illegal was found so I was taken back to the Scarborough Police Station where I was briefed as to why I was detained.

I was told I was considered a threat to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2009 in particular French President Nicholas Sarkozy which was made evident by a published document bearing my organisation name sent to the French Consulate and Sarkozy which was in response to his stance on the Muslim Sisters wearing of the Burka in France. I was subsequently released later that morning.


During my detention I was at no time placed in handcuffs, nor
disrespected in any way.
