What is the difference between Airport and Government hiring policy for low wage airport employees and security, and the Bush-Kennedy amnesty policy for low wage labor? Not much. No one knows who they are, it is logistically impossible to actually do a legitimate background check, which isn’t going to really happen anyway, and all of this has to do with cheap labor. In fact, they are both going to eventually result in the deaths of a large number of Americans, and at extreme cost to the American people for socially and financially.

Guyana’s population is 12 percent Muslim who largely have come from Pakistan and Afghanistan. 6 percent of Trinidad’s population are Muslim of the same background. Both nations have seen extensive terrorist activity by Muslim extremists.

Trinidad: Muslim Leader Charged For Incitement and Sedition

We have described earlier some of the antics of the Trinidadian leader of the group Jamaat-al-Muslimeen when he was arrested on October 17, on suspicion of involvement with a bombing at a nightclub at St James, near Port of Spain, the capital. Yasin Abu Bakr was released without charge.

Bakr was leader of Jamaat-al-Muhajideen when it staged a coup in 1990 against the government of the then Prime MInister, Arthur N.R. Robinson. According to Black Britain:

During the coup, over a hundred members bombed a police headquarters and stormed the parliament building taking control of radio and TV broadcasters and holding members of parliament hostage.

Twenty-four people were killed during the failed coup, which lasted a week. Bakr and 114 Muslimeen members were charged with murder, treason and other offences although they were never tried as they received a Presidential pardon.

Now Bakr has been in trouble again, and has been charged on Thursday at Port of Spain Magistrates Court with incitement, sedition and extortion.

The affair stems from a speech he made during his Friday sermons, in which he threatened "war" and "bloodshed" if any members did not give him zakat, or alms next year. The sermon was held at his Mucurapo Road Mosque to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr, the end of Ramadan. According to Trinidad Express, Bakr faces serious charges. For the sedition charge alone, he could face a $25,000 fine and five years' jail. For two charges of inciting to demand property the maximum penalty is five years' each, and for inciting the breach of the peace he could receive a two year jail sentence.

64-year old Bakr is assumed to be applying to the High Court for bail on Friday. He has already been refused bail, and has been kept in Trinidad's Frederick Street Prison in Port of Spain.

According to hardbeat news the Trinidad and Tobago government had retained the services of an independent senator and lecturer, Dana Seetahal, to research the law to find out how they could prosecute the preacher. According to Caribbean News the statement made by the Imam, that if his followers did not pay two and a half per cent of their earnings to him that there would be bloodshed, was interpreted by security forces as a threat to national security.

The Trinidad Express today (Friday) announces that the army has now broken a wall at the compound of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen, and has "taken over". Soldiers entered on Thursday to secure the compound.

There have been four serious bombings in Trinidad this year since the summer, the most recent being the explosion at St James on October 15, for which Bakr was arrested, along with other followers of Jamaat-al-Muslimeen.

Hey Bush bots - is it that there's no jobs for poor inner city folks - and we have to pay for jobs "programs" -- OR is it that we have to have cheap illegals to work because there's no Americans to do the job.

I'll pay for inner city jobs programs OR understand the illegal crap - but NOT both. Which is it Washington?

Oh, and what about welfare? Those folks can’t find work? But we’ve got to have illegals in the country because there’s too many jobs?

More confirmation for my contention that whenever Muslims concentrate to more than a few percent of the population of a nation, that nation is in danger from them. Their goal is the Islamization of the world, and those who claim otherwise are either deluded or in league with them.

We cannot allow anything like this to happen in the United States. If it means denying all further immigration from Islamic countries and FBI monitoring of every mosque in America from now till doomsday, let it be so.

These arrests are linked to the plot to attack JFK Airport in NY.

Do you have that list that someone compiled that details what kind of problems a society has at different given percentages of muslim population? It was quite interesting.

These guys are old hippies, as some frequently say. The man in NY retired from his airport job, the leader in Trinidad is 64. Look at the CIA fact sheet on Trinidad and see it is the most prosperous country in the Carribean. They will be glad to bury that generation. Guyana is a different story. It is very poor, and yes it borders on Venezuela.

And has a legacy of nutcases (e.g. Jonestown).

I would be in favor of that, and also of deporting those foreign-born Muslims who are already here. They are too dangerous to let in. Supposedly the tipping point is 10%, at which time they begin to agitate to take over the host country, impose sharia, etc. We're a long way from 10% (even including the no doubt large illegal Muslim population), and I think we have to make sure we never get there. Even the tiny percentage we have now is nothing but trouble.

I had a friend who was Guyanese, and she said that it is a very lawless country. When she was very young (she’s in her 50s now), it was fairly stable, but as nationalist agitation built up and British influence waned, it became a very different and highly unpleasant place.

Was it Guyana where the Rastafarian nuts burst into a Catholic Church at Midnight Mass, hacking at people with machetes and throwing gasoline on them and setting fire to them? Or was that Trinidad?

Bingo: “More confirmation for my contention that whenever Muslims concentrate to more than a few percent of the population of a nation, that nation is in danger from them.” - Numerous conservatives have been warning about Jamaat al Muslimeen in Trinidad (and there are various branches of the same, actually this goes way back to the 1920’s in India in parts which are now Pakistan) and what is coming - I am amazed at how informed conservatives are in comparison with liberals, just as how conservatives were warning about OBL years before 911 - but no one listens. And the biggest tin-ear of all is the Bushbots themselves. Bush was too busy with a sombrero on his head and running around with his brother Vicente before 911 to listen to such conservatives and look what happened. The Western Resistance site is a good resource, contributors and the organization is constantly under threat of life from Islamic extremists and leftists, and even from Clintonistas still in the U.S. government ... Bushbots are much better, eithre.
