Media Release: State abandons Muslims in Iraq

Re: State abandons Muslims in Iraq

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) will like to express its shock and horror at the present administration in purposely not filing the necessary documents to return to Trinidad, some of its Nationals unjustly incarcerated or detained in Iraq for their participation and involvement in the Islamic state or ISIS, whether as a fighter or otherwise.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) understands that at least 3 of these Trinidadian nationals; women have been given 20-year sentences, but can have their plight overturned should this Government file documents either through the British and South African consulate for their return to their homeland.

The question must be asked how has it, that other countries followed the necessary diplomatic processes to have their nationals return to them? Yet This government has not, despite this information being privy to them since 2017? Is it that this government has deliberately chosen to ignore the pleas of their own citizens? Especially women? Or is it that this government has deliberately decided to turn a blind eye to this situation on the basis it is Muslims?

Can the relevant persons whereby the Attorney General Faris Al Rawi who have boasted of having lineage to Prophet Muhammad (May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be with him) and can be seen growing a full beard as that of a Muslim, answer these questions? Can the Attorney General and the Minister of National security Edmund Dillion come clean on this issue?

In essence, what’s the government’s decision now seeing that this information is now public? How do they intend to treat with the issue? If they can at all? And why have the cries of these Muslims fallen on deaf ears? Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) hopes the government can answer these pertinent questions and free our Muslim men and women from oppression and captivity.

In conclusion Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is urging this administration to recognize that we are in the Holy Month of Ramadhan and acting fairly with a national sense of responsibility by way of administering Justice and having compassion towards it citizens would be viewed as an act of goodness by God Almighty and any act of goodness in this auspicious month would be rewarded immensely.

Re: The Attorney General, Faris Al-Rawi’s Response to the “Terrorist Attack in Manhattan.”

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is having serious issues with the timing and sentiments expressed in media release dated 31st October 2017, by the AG in responding to what is being dubbed as the terrorist attack in Manhattan during similar and even more gruesome and heartless attacks on innocent Civilians by the rogue nations like America, Israel, Britain, Russia and Myanmar (Burma) to name a few. Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) does not condone nor encourage any such action on civilians. This dreadful and senseless attack in Manhattan on the innocents deserves nothing less than the strongest condemnation and the stiffest of penalties but that does not absolve the right of any individual more so a government Minister or Ministers from recognizing other such tragedies like those dastardly and cowardly act perpetrated on civilians by the very governments that cry out in the face of such evil. The Muslim community of Trinidad and Tobago and the Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi came from the same household and even though we have all followed different paths our father Ibrahim (AS) taught us and inspired us to stand by what we believe is right. Not only did he question the illogical practices of his fellowmen, knowing that his was the voice of reason, he actively made attempts to guide his people towards the right path. And above all, when he was met with hatred and rejection by the people, he never lost confidence in the truth. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) had confidence and faith. He knew his beliefs were backed by reason, and so he had nothing to fear. This is the legacy of our father and this is the legacy we were bound to follow.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is questioning why since assuming office in 2015 our brother; the Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi never condemned those attacks on innocent’s civilians perpetrated by those nations, named? From 2015 to October 2017, 35,084 civilians a quarter of which are women and children, have been killed in Syria. Of the civilians killed in 2016 alone, 2,574 were children under the age of 18 and a further 1,944 were women. Presently; 2017 Death Count stands at 7,203. The United States has killed nearly 30 Muslims for every American lost.

Where is the press release condemning the ethnic cleansing in Myanmar where killings, torture, rape and arson is being reported daily?

Where is the press release condemning the US airstrikes on the Syrian village of Manbij 19th July 2016, killing 117 including 35 children and 20 women.

Where is the press release condemning the 4 million innocent civilians the United States and their allies have killed during their so called “War on Terror?

Where is the press release condemning the air strikes on five medical buildings and two schools in Aleppo and Idlib 15th February 2016?

Where is the press release condemning Israel’s aggression and illegal occupation and the blatant disregard of the many UN resolutions and America’s support of it?

Mainstream media has also failed to acknowledge that the Islamic State groups' alleged attacks like the one in Manhattan could ultimately be blamed on Washington, because the extremist group was created by them, according to a recent Global Research study.

“Much like al-Qaida, the Islamic State is made-in-the-USA, an instrument of terror designed to divide and conquer the oil-rich Middle East and to counter Iran’s growing influence in the region,” the Center for Research on Globalization wrote.

They continued, “Just like many U.S. interventions into the sovereignty of other countries, Washington's foreign policy in the Middle East has backfired.”

They went on to write that, “the fact that the United States has a long and torrid history of backing terrorist groups will surprise only those who watch the news and ignore history.”

A prominent English journalist put it quite simply. “If the United States wants to improve its image in the Islamic world,” he said, “it should stop killing Muslims.”

Considering all this Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling their brother; the Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi and the government to condemn all such attacks, especially if perpetrated by the nation that boast of being the flag bearer of democracy. Do this and you would not appear to be unjust and hypocritical.
