	Jamaat al Muslimeen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jamaat al Muslimeen (from Arabic جماعة المسلمين) is a Muslim organisation within the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago with a membership of predominantly Afro-Trinidadians.
		It was the organisation's leader, Imam Yasin Abu Bakr, who led members of the Jamaat in an attempted coup d'état against the elected Government of Trinidad and Tobago in July 1990.
		The organisation's leader is currently being prosecuted with conspiracy to murder several of the group's former members who had spoken out publicly against the Jamaat al Muslimeen and its practices, and who were suspected of becoming witnesses in legal proceedings against its members.

	The Muslimeen Revolt in Trinidad
		Jamaat al Muslimeen revolt and hostage taking was unanticipated by the government although the group was under observation by the security arm of the police force.
		The Muslimeen action took place against a background of severe difficulties in the economy, a swelling hostility towards the government and its policies since attaining power in 1986 and the emergence of new political and social groupings.
		From the perspective of the Muslimeen group, they were likely to lose their place of worship, of livelihood and of residence by this structural violence of the state, manifested in diverse ways such as the High Court judgement and police harassment.

	Jamaat al-Muslimeen on Trial in Trinidad and Tobago
		He is best known for leading over 100 members of the Jamaat in storming the National Parliament and taking the prime minister and the cabinet hostage in 1990 to protest a land ownership dispute with the government, poverty in the Afro-Trinidadian community, and state corruption.
		In a February 2006 incident, the son of Hasan Ali, an imam associated with Jamaat al-Muslimeen, was murdered by members of the "G-Unit," a street gang (Trinidad & Tobago Express, February 19).
		The tendency of groups such as Jamaat al-Muslimeen to resort to violence against the state and its rivals and to engage in criminal activities has also led some to worry about the influence of radicals such as Abu Bakr and their potential to collaborate with international terrorist organizations with broader agendas.

	Selwyn R. Cudjoe - UNC same as Jamaat
		Now, he wishes to convince the nation that the President, the Jamaat and several journalists are part of a conspiratorial group that wishes to overthrow his government.
		In his delirium, the PM is oblivious to the similarities of the Jamaat’s violent attempt to overthrow constitutional government in 1990 and his party’’s non-violent attempt to steal the Government in 2000.
		While the Jamaat (African and Islamic) had no propagandists to argue for the legitimacy of their cause, the UNC count on Hamid Ghany, John Le Guerre, Dana Seetahal, Sat Maharaj, Kamal Persad, Rajnie Ramlakhan to use their pens to promote its deceptiveness.

	Put UNC back in power - TnT Mirror.com
		From 1991 to 2000, the Jamaat al Muslimeen danced with the UNC thereby lowering the intensity of the war between the Jamaat al Muslimeen and Indian Islam.
		But the supposed departure of the Jamaat al Muslimeen from the UNC bed to the PNM bed resulted in a revival of the war with an intensity never before experienced in Trinbago, threatening now to be the match that ignites the race war.
		In turn, leaders of Indian Islam are insisting that the State must move on the Jamaat al Muslimeen, that the PNM must be at war with the Muslimeen, with the hope of fracturing the PNM towards an electoral victory of the UNC in the next general election.

	What Jamaat's bossman and Guyana's PNC share?
		In opposition since 1992, when electoral democracy was finally restored, the PNC was, however, to further affect its reputation by the manner of its tributes at funerals of fallen criminal elements, at the hands of the police, and its threats to make Guyana "ungovernable".
		By last week, while the people of Trinidad and Tobago were considering the implications of the language of abuse and threats from the Jamaat's Abu Bakr and his disciples at a public meeting, the PNC again stayed away from parliament and threatened non-cooperation with consultations involving civil society, government and political parties.
		What Abu Bakr's Jamaat and Guyana's PNC do seem to share in common, is a callous refusal to apologise for any of their respective notorious misdeeds of the past which can only be forgotten at the expense of the future.

		One of the men, a member of Jamaat al Muslimeen, agreed to testify against the crime masterminds of the group and was put under police protection.

		Supt. Joseph acknowledged that Jamaat al Muslimeen was suspected in much of the crime wave and noted that the group's leader, Yasin Abu Bakr, and three other kingpins face charges of conspiracy to murder stemming from the assassination of the state's witness in the Kissoondan case.

		In Trinidad and Tobago, Abu Bakr, famous for switching political loyalties in his self-interest and that of his Muslimeen group, was reported by the Daily Express of September 18 that he could give "no assurance" against a repetition of the events of July 27, 1990.

		The UNC continues to highlight the links between the PNM and Jamaat-al-Muslimeen, using U.S. Congressional hearings on terrorism to tie the local group to the al-Qaeda terrorist group that attacked New York and Washington in September 2001.
		The party has sought to press home its accusation by referring to an article published last month by the New York Daily News that claimed the FBI was investigating alleged plans by the Muslimeen to fly a light aircraft into the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks.
		The article said the FBI later determined that the plan was unlikely because the Jamaat ''had no history of suicide attacks and they felt such a plane would be easily intercepted''.
