Free Republic

If anyone can buy a gun, then the deportees might arm themselves also. At that point a 9 mm might not do the businessmen much good.

I agree that they need to arm themselves if the government doesn't step up security or they could hire private security guards. I am sure they have the money especially if they stop paying taxes.

Ok. I am done attacking. I was a little shocked reading the one-sidedness of the articles and replies. So lets talk politics.

The US pushes democracy and trade, then gets mad when it is with the wrong countries (Libya).

None of the comments in the article were taken directly from the CIA, just editors jumping to conclusions.

Remember not to believe everything you read and don't become Lemmings yourself. It is necessary to question the "facts" and try to see both sides. The man with the guns at one time was associated with the Jamaat and ended relations before the coup.

The other coup members are getting old and are more concerned about building mosques, houses, and keeping in touch with the middle east which makes sense for Muslims who go to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Panday and the Trinidadian government are not as reliable as us Americans may be led to believe and they are really trying hard to find the Jamaat guilty of something after being humiliated by the coup. In ten years they have not been able to find any other crimes done by these people under close scrutiny?

I am not saying that some of the articles don't make me suspicious of the Jamaat, I just think there has been no debate in this discussion and there needs to be.

Very stereotypical and racist. Good job! Maybe you should try learning a little about islam and stop jumping to conclusions. You don't see Muslims bad talking white christians for the actions of David Koresh or Timothy Mcveigh. Oh, and Trinidadians, by the way, are very kind good spirited people. If you mean that black Muslims in Trinidad and US believe in something that never was, Do you mean God? because that is about all they have got in common.

On another note, there is usually a country behind a terrorist act. The US should understand this better than any country considering it has incited more terrorist acts around the globe than any other country (mostly by inciting small groups of rebels who otherwise would have stayed quiet in their own corners of the world.) They even have a little school in the southern US where they train terrorists.
