Everybody but one by one. And this is cruel for its best friend for. Seen here training snipers in a recruitment video made by Islamic State. According to government estimates 13020. 00 data including women and children have since joined crowfoot and was stuff in the middle east. This makes trinidad the highest per capita contributor to ice all in the western hemisphere and some experts think up to 400 people may have gone 2. But these happy images of schools that they ran were only one side of the story. Was a trait of a dance joined as fighters and many were killed in battle. It is this edition of the idle magazine that really made International Headlines in appeal to muslims in his home country saying crawford called on them to take the fight back to trinidad and to terrify the disbelievers in their own homes and to make the streets run with their blood the question is why do so many 20 dady and take up arms feisal in the 1st place. Today that is best known for its world famous carnival it may seem an odd place to be exporting fighters to eisele but there is a long established Muslim Community of those african and indian descent and. They make up only 6 percent of the population but over the last decades the voice of black muslims has become louder mainly because of this man. Oh. Yes in leeds a movement called the gem of a muslim mean the community of muslims it was founded in the 1980 s. To empower astrotrain a day dns who were converting to islam in the early days the jemhadar muslim mean came to Public Notice because on the streets in forces were tackling the countrys growing drugs trade their militant image was new to muslims here do you always have private security was you know i have no private security these are just my people who are here with me all the time you know i go anywhere i mean how i run down here i think of what i have a more powerful and i have a heart for the love for people and drive my protection but abu bakker led the only Armed Islamic uprising against the western government. On 27th of july 1990 he and his men stormed parliament and held its m. P. s at gunpoint and 6 pm this afternoon. The government of turning to be a go. It was overthrown. The Prime Minister of the cabinet rushed. Down muslimeen wanted to topple a government they said was criminal and corrupt but the population failed to support them after 6 days of chaos in which 24. 00 people lost their lives accepted an offer of amnesty and surrendered. He claims when the muslimeen stopped policing the streets after the coup the government lost control and the power of the drug gangs erupted into a spiral of violence pre 19 anybody could tell us when i was on the control. Their murder rate would not reach a 10450 the goto almost 500 and this is predominantly among the African People the same or slave population that nobody ever did anything to have. His says the root cause that has been left untreated remains poverty the germans food in School Programs for the community. There for thousands of women women a pool of unemployment nothing existed in the ghetto and do nothing in india drugs come in you know and its a haven for the drugs and i know the guns and so the military it is just spiraling out of control do you think there is a connection between that and the fact that members of the opportunity and community have gone to fight in syria because of their marginalization and the difficulties with them to succeed because the african muslims. Little is known about health fighters in trinidad are actually recruited and to find out more we have set off to follow the stories of showing profit and for reading this stuff. With carnival taking over the streets some muslims for Family Friendly retreats. Were low like this one set up in a car. Here are men who knew both crawford and mustafa has agreed to meet us businessman mohammed has brought his whole family along he instantly recognizes crew for its photo i noticed a brother but he was in jail would leave me and this right here free we was in the same cell they had 3 of us and so then you know them intimately let me give you just drive them or what sort of yak as they were they have a good character good character in 20 lives and crawford must also and others have rested for conspiring to assassinate the Prime Minister but all was soon released due to lack of evidence some people believe that the government of the time used the alleged plot as a pretext to arrest people who were being tracked for other reasons. Why do you sing your name appeared on this list of people and he just that is wanting to kill the Prime Minister that is a 1000000 dollar question. Because every so often i would go to physical. Settlement and. Lead by even. Has been. You know on the watch lists quite a few of the people who went to syria unknown to have been part of the germ out community of jews most in the town of real close. To read most of lived there for while others like same crew for just pass through i see new people just. People i notice and belong to real claro they would come near there was stay there for about a week or 2 and then a disappear and the people in in the job even know theyre leaving because if you go into syria to fight a war which. Of course you would want to go silent you would want to tell your shadow bigger you dont want to be caught ashmead. Says someone tried to recruit him to i remember clearly one night a broad telling me. That he is considering going to syria and i should also go. Courageously into jihad. 9 with some bullet in your chest in your head in cause. If you die in that position its the most honorable that you can get according to Islamic Teachings this is why you see so many people just rush into syria and not investigate here fully. I say no i dont think i need. To go to have learned. Yet others came very close to read my stuff and for my house made a mosque has publicly stated that he considered joining. Ok nice to meet here. Says he was part of the 1900 but felt let down by its leader. We felt that. We were prepared to go hard to establish an islamic government in this country on the starvation Islamic State. Abdullah claims he planned terrorist attacks within trinidad but none have come to fruition now he wants to pursue an Islamic State by peaceful means hes agreed to take us to booze mosque in rio claro this may be rural trinidad but carnival is in full swing carnival now its changed a lot since you were young were all like you got more vulgar theres a lot more violent more immoral. Lies just outside of town its a mom now as a mohammed very rarely talks to the media but thanks to my dollar he has agreed to speak to us giuliana nice to meet you dear mom and his family have given out land for free to create a selfsufficient Community Based on islamic principles this is how we got into law can give orders to below so they are just and all together how big is your dream argue group ok go home so here 25 homes thats quite substantial learn from mustapha used to live in one of these houses until moustapha fell out with the a mom because he asked him to leave them on here why was that. Was this will be. One of the things that has been reported is that it involved the matter of the killing that he was unhappy human chain crawford where were not happy with it was something that happened in the community i dont know were going to do again and im going to go into. It there are reports that crawford and mustafa carried out a double murder before traveling to syria this mosque has long been on the radar of intelligence agencies like the f. B. I. Who came to question him on nazism and what it can be. Like a system. What they consider what american. People. If somebody came to you a young tryna dagon and said im not sure if i should go and go to the caliphate and join i sell and fight would you encourage them or would you try to hold them back. My. Daughter. When gandhi narrowed knew that. I never knew all. On till a week. And a machine for 2 years you may not believe and never knew the why do you think she left and when all. It will encourage you know will not only not as if it dont look or look inwards and organs and there are many next though on i never knew that. By now at least 13 members of nasm mohammeds family have settled for syria children their spouses and grandchildren after leaving the mosque takes us to the house he shared with Fareed Moustapha when they 1st came to rio claro roof pretty much enjoyed each Others Company did you speak to him after he left to syria where you attach for them when he was there we did share. Some words for one of the shoot from the school when did he say your courage in me to come. Home was a host fareed like gods god does exactly. What you see there all the maker joerg of you know and again with. You know things that are so so this killing that shayan and and for reeve carried out what life does that throw on him because thats not the happy go lucky person that we see in the pictures no i thought it was more use of the what i can see is that for you to have developed a type of. Eagerness to fight for justice through can do this to seek out. Reason music how you can. Get all the defenders brothers and sisters. By 2013 mustafa and crew food had already planned a trip to join but elated to avenge the death of a brother from. He had been shot while trying to buy a gun. While driving around the city of they found their tongues and this is the corner where moustapha and Shane Crawford carried out their killing its a spot well known for trouble. That jumped out of their car and broad daylight and shot dead dead 2 victims within weeks both were in syria. The fear is that i still recall has been feeding of trinidads gang was some of the feuding guns drawn them was limited. Entity and are closely associated with mosques. We had to enterprise on the outskirts of child one and wishing crowfoot grew up. Violence surged and to prise in july 26th teen after the murder of cell intellects also known as robo calls. To all this died at the scene including the killer. Alex this was never convicted of any crimes but he was widely believed to be the good father of a local museum day after his killing some form of associates set up their own gang but they became known as unruly isis. From out on the farm. We are in a foreign object. It is friday and im really isis have agreed for us to join them so pray 2 2 degree of this accused of a series of killings at the sermon is one of peace loving people the only one that is willing to do what those leftists does i hope standing in his imaam in this makeshift mosca is avinash. Aka abdul lucky and generally known as crisis good luck to me that weve heard about the last 2 weeks that we started the quarter was my right that we ask crisis about the murder of a lexus my friend i mean really my friend killed him and he died not a reason why he killed them people might say oh you want to hear what the news and say about this guy right there was a he was on a well known best in this man thats what the new said about him you know im saying we over here in enterprise we know that he was a kidnapper. Killed many people you know what im saying. Prices says he wants his crew to be known simply as muslims claiming the name unruly isis was given to them by the media he sings anyone going to join i solicit misguided saying its room for muslims to kill muslims so how then does he justify the same thing and to probably not understand something people call it as killing but in reality we what it does mean defending ourselves so its like you know somebodys coming to kill you sos and then you go get em fast you know what im saying that was no no and yes ok with out no its not ok is ok to defend yourself you know what im saying but its not ok to kill an innocent person is enough or ok to kill an innocent person is not that we going to come out one day and say well ok give me a gun im going to kill this guy no its not that thats what they make it seem like and this is our back against the laws its got a got everything to do with these people bringing in the drugs into our country if they would stop the drugs in the guns off the way we have no kill and no crime and find out that. The perception is that i still recruited gang members who were already used to violence by promising them a more meaningful night but many trinidadian recruits are well educated and come from wealthy families whose lawyers advised them not to tools so we returned to the mosque of Jamaat Al Muslimeen to meet a man personally knew more than 15 of them throughout the son of the 1990 s.

Syria and theyre sending in pictures of you know schools with kids and gardens and a society that is operating by islamic do or what interests a muslim unusual but videos attributed to eisele that depict violence all dismissed as american propaganda when a muslim says videos of drop is innocent people on the. Playing and. I dont. Trust those images you know many people say well it was very fired up for the roots of the problem trinidad i think some people feel as though theres. Almost instant political system that exists here and i strongly believe that some of these individuals see maybe we would be more different. Under. The governments response has been to pass a new terror bill aimed at curbing recruitment a former National Security minister explains whats happening the organizations are well. I what is required is to come to you not just to monitor them but to read. To suppress them if you dont provide through and if you do not. Explain and let these people know that you are enemies of the seas im going to crush you im not going to negotiate with you you embolden them you make them feel that they have an opportunity to speak more in common to try to reveal more individuals what should be prevented what trinidad feels most is an attack on home soil you know especially on its Lucrative Oil and gas industry.
