Re: In Response to Prime Minister's Statements Wednesday night while addressing a People’s National Movement political meeting in Barataria.

The renowned Martin Luther King Jr. once said "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity". This is the Mantra that seems to be following Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley around since Wednesday night while addressing a People’s National Movement political meeting in Barataria, where he made statements referring to raids on mosques over the Carnival period saying they were justified after “lethal weapons, arms and ammunition” were found at the Masjid-ul-Muttaqeen Mosque in Cunupia on Thursday.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is holding firm by our statement in our last media release dated 7th June 2018 in which we stated "this (Discovery of five weapons and ammunition in the ceiling at the Masjid) has the signature of a false flag operation. Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) have always held the view that the Anti-Gang Bill and the Anti-Terrorism Bill are two legislation crafted to target Muslims in this country."

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is advocating the weapons and ammunition was placed there by law enforcement officers or a person or persons acing in collusion with law enforcement. Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) has received intelligence that the police had earlier received instructions to execute a search warrant at the very same Masjid later on that day - what a remarkable concurrence of events! - As was stated in our last release, "It is only by the mercy of Allah that those weapons were found by members of the Masjid and not a planned raid executed by the police." or else we would have been having a different conversation today.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) holds the view that Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley is unaware of his role and function as Prime Minister and is oblivious to what is happening within his government. If the Prime Minister is so keen on finding justification, he needs to answer:

Why was the sovereignty of our Twin Island State compromised when after the Jordanian authorities uncovered information of a plot to disrupt our carnival, why was the information was sent to the United States and not to us?

Why did United States after receiving this information did not issue a travel advisory but only did so long after our authorities made mention of it?

Why was the safety of the American citizens compromised and not warned before they traveled here to enjoy the carnival celebrations?

Were the US spy planes truly spying on our nationals or where they spying on Venezuela in response to the news of the Brazilian authorities warning Guyana of an imminent attack by Venezuela, hence the presence of Russian spy ships on our shores - Venezuela remains one of Russia's most important trading and military allies in Latin America (after Brazil).

State the true reasons why Umar Abdullah was not invited to the Diplomatic Center when he (The Prime Minister) met with the Muslim Community?

Only when Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley can provide answers to these questions, would Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) entertain his "justification" theory. If the Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley cannot provide answers to these questions then we are of the firm believe that there is a Shadow Government operating within the Government to destabilize Trinidad and Tobago into chaos and anarchy.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) recognizes the statements of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley as Islamophobic, sacrilegious and contentious and is calling on the Prime Minister to apologize to the Muslim Community in like manner and if this is not done, Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on the entire Muslim Community to boycott and reject the Prime Minister's address to the Nation on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.

Response to Government Ministers

Media Release:

Re: Response to government ministers.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) takes no pleasure in criticising government ministers as this embarrasses our ministers and by extension our country and its people. It is however necessary especially in times like these where the rights and privileges of our countrymen are being stripped away and the citizens looked down upon as fools and rotten souls.

First of all I would like to call upon the Minister of National Security to immediately tender his resignation for his comments and uttering a blatant lie on Saturday last while addressing  a march against crime in Terchier Village, Point Fortin, Minister Dillon told Newsday that it was his view that a very small group of Muslims who have not conformed to the faith of Islam and have erred. Dillon said, “There is a small minority of Muslims who have gone against their faith of Islam and that is what the leaders have said. We cannot put everyone in the same bucket. So, we reach out to those who believe they are true to their faith. The Muslim groups wanted to see me. I did not plan the meeting; I met with those who wanted to see me, so the Muslim body came together.”

These comments were very unfortunate as not only the Minister was being untruthful but has insulted the Muslim Community, pre-judged us and labelled us hypocrites.

According to an article in the Guardian Newspaper entitled "Help us Find Them" dated Saturday 11th February 2016; The meeting was planned, the ministry issued a statement and the American Embassy was involved.

At this juncture Dillion's resignation would be considered an apology. He has acted with incompetence and as soiled an important design woven in the fabric of this country. He continues to follow the dictates of America by chasing a ghost and Turn a blind eye to the reality of crime and the decay of our society.

We are also calling on the Attorney General to immediately tender his resignation for his role in the controversial marriage act and the proposed Amendment Bill to the Terrorism act. The manner in which the marriage act was passed and his proposed course as it relates to the amendment to the Terrorism act has shaken the very foundation of our Religious doctrines. He sorts to unfairly place the Muslims and the government of this country on an unfriendly path which would eventually compromise his role and purpose.

And last we again call on the honourable Prime Minister to immediately advise the President to revoke the appointment of the Foreign Minister. Dennis Moses' deafening silence on matters affecting Muslims globally has paved the way for the spread of islamophobia here in this country and should be held to account for allowing the spread of this scourge by not condemning the senseless slaughter and atrocities against our Muslims brothers and sisters overseas.
