Maulana Imran Hosein

THERE is a plan to establish Muslim villages in Trinidad and Tobago.

Speaking of the plan yesterday Maulana Imran Hosein said it was born of the need to protect and preserve Islam from the ills of society such as alcohol, fornication, adultery, illegitimate children, homosexuality, lesbianism and murders.

Hosein, who was earlier this year accused by ASJA of promoting "terrorist-type" ideologies, gave the lecture on the establishment of The Muslim Village in Trinidad and Tobago during a public session at the San Fernando Technical Institute yesterday. The meeting was organised by the San Fernando Jama Masjid.ASJA,Anjuman Sunnat Ul Jamaat Association, the country's largest Muslim organisation , had said Hosein was a "strong security risk." After the charge was made he had a meeting with the police and said he came out the meeting with "profound respect for the Police Service."

At yesterday's function Hosein said the PNM's "black political and economic nationalism" had damaged the body politic through racial polarisation. "Unless we find a way out of the racial dilemma , the country will eventually capsize. "

He a said the Muslim village would transcend the politics of race to seek to establish and sustain healing the balm of a racial fraternity.

Hosein said the village should consist about" 200 or 300 families,"and should be outside the city and the majority of the residents will be Muslims, but non-Muslims will be welcome on condition that they are not hostile to Islam, and that they can conform with the norms of public conduct in the Muslim Village.

He said non-Muslims who visit the village will not be able to "walk with a bottle of beer or walk half-naked down the streets ." He said that "non-Muslims will be welcome to live with us in the village in the way they liven in the past."

He said there would be no mansions and since toilets were considered unclean places, buildings in the village will have no toilets. The village will have its own markets "and all stalls would be free of charge," but people from outside the village would be encouraged to come to the market to shop. The cemetery must be located within the residential area, so that people could visit as often as possible, he added.

The Village will establish its own primary school and combine to establish a secondary school, "but the Muslim schools would not accept any state funding, hence would not be subject to any state control," Hosein said. Education, he added, will be based entirely on a system established ed by To establish the village, Hosein spoke about three stages ,including a mass programme of public education , the establishment of week-end villages as a prelude to the permanent fixture.

No personal offense intended...but England is your example of "hardly socialist?"

I'll skip it, thanks. [I used the term socialist-lite and did not infer they were Cuba]

[cyborg]

No offense taken... LOL yeah England today what ever was I thinking!

"no mansions and since toilets were considered unclean place"

Where do I sign up? My local mosque? It's fun to crap in the sand, just ask my cat. This is is an aggressive incursion into the Carribean. We need to dust off the Monroe Doctrine and not allow ANY aggressive enemy, state or religious, into the Western Hemisphere. Like the sage of Mayberry, Barney Fife, says, "you gotta' nip it in the bud, Andy, nip it in the bud!"
peace....D

"Maulana Siddiq Ahmad Nasir, who spoke at the lecture about the spiritual dynamism of such a situation, said he experienced the life in two such villages in Pakistan."

Wouldn't it be easier just to have everyone who didn't like music to leave for Pakistan ?

I think you are very weak in history. These Jews has best life Muslim rule... not chirstians. Go and do some study. Also you need to read more about American... in last 200 years how many places they have invaded.. kill how many people.. whole of Sth American, Africa and now middle east.
How come you r defending them... look at your own history... what they have done with you...?????????

"I think you are very weak in history. These Jews has best life Muslim rule... not chirstians."
AND YOU ARE WEAK IN GRAMMAR AND SPELLING.... and PUNCTUATION.
The United States has freed more people (and more MUSLIMS) from oppression than all the other nations in the world put together.
Islam is evil and is the biggest threat now to world peace. EVERY TERRORIST ACT IN THE PAST 5 YEARS HAS BEEN COMMITTED BY MUSLIMS. Thousands of people dead and crippled in dozens of nations - all by MUSLIMS.
We freed the oppressed in Afghanistan, and unless we're blocked by MUSLIMS, we'll free the oppressed in Iraq. (Then we can take down the oppressive dictatorships in Syria and Iran and free the people there too.)
And while we're on the subject - what group of people are so gullible and stupid that they believe JEWS were responsible for 9-11? MUSLIMS. What group of people are circulating the stupid idea that Americans and Jews set off an atomic bomb that caused the recent tsunami? MUSLIMS. And what group of people cheered in the streets when an American space flight went down with a Jew on board, and also on 9-11? MUSLIMS.
Whose HISTORY books are YOU reading? MUSLIM'S?

Thanks for the link.
I went to the site, but without paying for 'premium' service, the provider chokes the download so bad it was going to take 10 minutes to download the first file alone (and I have DSL).
How did you wind up commenting on such an old thread?
