The most striking thing about Trinidad, to me, was the forwardness of people about their faith. The Christians were unmistakable. The Hindus were obvious, with the prayer flags and pictures of different gods. It's such a prominent issue in their society.
I didn't encounter any Muslims on a conversational basis. They just yelled at us and waved machetes. But I don't imagine that they mingle socially either.

The muslims don't socially mingle, not the religious ones anyway. If a muslim goes to carnival or anything, then that is a complete MINO. After a few glasses of the demon rum resistance to assimilation is utterly futile anyway. Christians and Hindus are more likely to socially mix, hang out together, etc.

The muslims yelled and waved their machetes?
But I was told islam is a religion of peace.
Could those who told me have been mistaken?
