i don't think the author says islam is running rampant, at least in my humblest of opinions. i think he says that there is a movement worth looking at.

Anything written by Joseph Farah should be taken with a dumptruck load of salt. Most of us are still waiting for the Iranian EMP strike he promised was coming along with the 17 or so Al-Qaeda nukes that were supposed to have gone off already.

That said, something tells me you've been here before. So what was your previous incarnation? Anytime someone comes here and immediately starts threads about immigration it either means DU or LP troll.

EL SHUKRIJUMAH AND HIS FAMILY ARE SENT TO TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO BY THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT; HIS FATHER, GULSHAIR EL SHUKRI, WAS AN ISLAMIC MISSIONARY THERE) When Adnan was young, his father [Gulshair El Shukri,] was sent to the Caribbean country of Trinidad and Tobago by the Saudi government as an Islamic missionary, where the family lived until 1983.

JULY 27, 1990 : (TRINIDAD & TOBAGO : FAILED COUP ATTEMPT BY MUSLIM EXTREMISTS BELONGING TO JAMAAT AL-MUSLIMEEN) On July 27, 1990, members of the group [Jamaat al-Muslimeen] bombed police headquarters, stormed Parliament and took the prime minister and his Cabinet hostage. During the siege, 24 people were killed and hundreds wounded, mostly in clashes between police and mobs. The government told the insurrectionists they would receive amnesty if they surrendered, but when they did, authorities arrested them. A court later ruled the arrests were illegal, and the rebels, including [Jamaal] Shabaaz, received a national pardon. - "Trinidad assistant held by U.S. immigration authorities ," AP, Posted: Thursday July 17, 2003 6:14 PM , Updated: Thursday July 17, 2003 6:59 PM , http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/2003/07/17/int_rdp/

JULY 1990 : (TRINIDAD & TOBAGO BLOODY COUP ATTEMPT BY THE ISLAMIC TERRORIST GROUP JAMAAT AL-MUSLIMEEN) In July 1990, the Jamaat al Muslimeen, a predominantly Afro-Trinidadian group led by a former policeman tried to overthrow the government in a bloody six-day siege that killed 23 people. The 114-member group held hostages, including then-Prime Minister Arthur Robinson, in the parliament and at the state-owned Trinidad and Tobago Television headquarters. The Muslimeen members were [later] absolved of treason, murder and kidnapping charges when a court ruled that an amnesty given to them during negotiations to end the siege was valid. - "Weapons seizure heightens Trinidad coup fears," Reuters, July 1, 2001 Posted: 4:34 PM EDT (2034 GMT) *

*stepping back in time...An Interesting Discussion on FREEREPUBLIC.com regarding a BBC article dated July 28, 2002: "CARIBBEAN COUP ATTEMPT REMEMBERED" (BBC ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The crisis began with the blowing up of the police headquarters building in the capital, Port of Spain. After that, groups of young Muslimeen, armed with AK47's, swarmed into the parliament building, known as the Red House, and Trinidad and Tobago Television, TTT. Muslimeen leader, Yasin Abu Bakr, a former Trinidadian policeman, called for public support. Instead Trinidadians stayed home and watched as the six-day drama was reported on local and regional radio and then picked up by the international media.") (August 29, 2002) via Cindy

True, but that's just a bit of optimistic skepticism on my part. I fear that Chiapas is a fertile breeding ground for terrorism due to its ongoing civil war as do I fear Chavez and his open willingness to be closer with Iran. It's a combination of power hungry anti-American leaders and impoverished masses that make Latin America ripe for this kind of stuff.

As post 17 shows, Suriname is indeed in South America. It was formerly Dutch Guiana. It's sets between the former British Guiana, now knows as Guyana, and French Guiana. British Guiana had been a Dutch Colony as well, until the early 19th century when it became a British colony.

There is a Shift Key that you may want to use once in a while; especially when you refer to the United States of America, or the President of the United States of America, or the United States Military, or the Pentagon.

Carlos Menem, president of Argentina from 1989 to 1999 was A MUSLIM when he arrived in Argentina from Syria. He then "converted" to catholicism since the argentinian constitution by the time required all presidential candidates to be catholics.
