coronavirus scripts the nation campaigning on the election trail has been forced to take a back seat will the presidential candidates ever hit the road and so their brand of politics to americans before the vote follow the u.s. elections on a. caribbean state to trenton to bank and president being famous for its spectacular conduct putting 2017 we reported on a more sinister reputation it was then developing as the nation with the highest group and right to ice in the western hemisphere so what happened to the young trinidadians who went to join islamic state for this updated episode giuliana rufus has been finding out.

just in the euphrates in minus one degree. same crowfoot has just bush to prepare for prayer in syria the year is 2013 and cruel foot is believed to be the 1st islamic state recruit from the caribbean island of trinidad and tobago. everybody but one by one here. and this is cruel for its best friend for. seen here training snipers in a recruitment video made by islamic state all eisel. 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. but these happy images of schools that i saw said 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 eiffel magazine really made international headlines in an 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. 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 in 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 jem'hadar muslimeen

came to public notice because on the streets in forces were tackling the country's growing drugs trade their militant image was new to muslims here do you always have private security was you know i am no private security. people who are here with me all the time no 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 of you guys 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 of 6 pm just after noon. the government of turning to be a go. was overthrown. the prime minister of the government 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 jem'hadar 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 almost 500 and this is predominantly among the african people the same or slave population that nobody ever did anything to have. 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 full of unemployment nothing to just sit in the ghetto and do nothing and then the drugs come in you know and it's a haven for drugs and an older 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 all for family friendly retreats. who are low like this one set up in a car. here are men who knew both crawford and the stuff has agreed to meet us businessman mohammed has brought his whole family along he instantly recognizes crawford's photo i noticed

a brother he was in jail with me me and this right here for reading we was in the same cell they had 3 of us in a cell so then you know them intimately i mean can give you describe them or what sort of yak as they were they have a good character good character in 20 year listen crawford mr arthur 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 you a name appeared on this list of people and he just wanted to kill the prime minister that is a $1000000.00 question. because every so often i would go to physical. settlement . over here led 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 od community of who's most in the town of real close. to read my stuff i lived there for a while others like same crew food just pass through i see new people disappear. people i notice some belong to a real car all it would come in there was stay there for a week or 2 and then a disappear and the people in in the job even know they're 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 don't 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 go. courageously into jihad 9. with some bullets in your chest in your head in because. if you die in that position it's the most honorable that you can get according to islamic teachings this is why i use you so when you people just rush into syria and not investigate here fully who are these are. i say no i don't think i need to go to syria 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. me here. says he was part of the 1990 coup but felt let down by its leader. we felt that. we were prepared to go

down. to the starburst 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 he's agreed to take us to booze mosque in rio claro this may be rural trinidad but carnival is in full swing carnival now exchanged a lot since you were young we're all like you got more. there's a lot more violent more immoral. lies just outside of town it's 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 self-sufficient community based on islamic principles this is how we could learn to love him give orders to belong to they are just and all together how big is your dream argue a group home so here 25 homes that's quite substantial learn from reading the stuff or used to live in one of these houses until moustapha fell out with the a mom because you 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. were not happy with it was something that happened in the community. and i'm going to go into. it there are reports that crawford and mustafa carried out a double murder before travelling to syria this mosque has long been on the radar of intelligence agencies like the f.b.i.

who came to question him as him and the campaign. license. on. what they consider what american. people. if somebody came to you a young trinidadian and said i'm 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 never knew that. i never knew. until a week. and a machine sort of 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 it was due to look will look inwards ones organs and there are many next though on i never knew that. by now at least 13 members of nasm mohammed's 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 reap pretty much enjoyed each other's 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 2 from the book when did you say your courage in me to come. home was almost to read 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

that's not the happy go lucky person that we see in the pictures no that's not a verse in our use of the what i can see is that for you to have developed a type of. eagerness to fight for justice through to endorse this to seek out. reasoned news of how you can. get all the defenders brothers and sisters. by 2013 stuff 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 chang carried out their killing it's a spot well known for trouble. that jumped out of a 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 trinidad's gang was some of the feuding guns drawn them muslim i do. 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 muslim day after his killing some form of associates set up their own gang but they became known as unruly isis. people from i'm from. we're in

a foreign object *. it is friday and i'm really isis have agreed for us to join them so praying degree of this accused of a series of killings of the sermon is one of peace loving people the only one that is willing to do what goes on what this does on both standing in his imaam in this makeshift most is avinash. aka abdul lucky and generally known as crisis good luck to me that we've heard about the last 2 weeks but we still read the quarterly was my right that we asked crisis about the murder of robocop alexa's 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 will say about this guy right there was a he was on

a well known best in this man that's what the new said about him you know i'm saying we over here in enterprise we know that he was a kidnapper. killed many people you know what i'm saying. price's 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 still is misguided saying it's room for muslims to kill muslims so how then does he justify the same thing and to probably see that understand something people call it as killing but in reality we what does that mean defending the ourselves so it's like you know somebody's coming to kill you so's and then you go get em fast you know what i'm saying that most or not and yes ok without know is not ok is ok to defend yourself you know what i'm saying but it's 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 i'm going to kill this guy no it's not that that's what they make it seem like and this is our back against the laws it's got you got everything to do with these people bring 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 saw recruited gang members who were already used to violence by promising them a more meaningful knife but many trinidadian recruits are well educated and come from wealthy families whose no use 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 this son of the 1990 s. khuda politest and sometimes try to minimalize this legacy that there is a small group of people who are you know criminally oriented who get involved in these things about as much as a child of the dems as

a tourist for ideological reasons. and then they try to recruit thousands. of files a friend who has the right to travel. syria and they're sending in pictures of you know schools with kids and gardens and a society that is operating by islam into what interests a muslim unusual videos attributed to eisele that depict violence all dismissed as american propaganda when a muslim says these videos of didn't drop as he is in deep along. i don't. trust those images you know many people say well it was very fired up for the roots of the problem in trinidad i think some people feel as though there's a whole almost instant political system that exists there. are strong nudity for

some of these individuals so maybe we would need more of our difference. in the. government's response has been to pass a new terror bill aimed at curbing recruitment a former national security minister explains what's happening the organizations are well known by the agents by law enforcement agencies i what is required is to come to you not just to monitor them but to read to find to suppress them if you don't provide through and if you do not. explain and let these people know that you are enemies of the seas i'm going to crush you i'm not going to negotiate with you you embolden them to make them feel that they have an opportunity to speak more 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 when we need to question we need to prevent you from going on even as you do will we

need to put everything possible to make sure you do not ever get back to the 200. we're going to keep you and i'm going to be killed or you're going to die in syria . and does what is required. indeed many today thousands who travel to syria i'm no longer alive freedom stuff i died in battle and shame crawford was killed by an american drone. and then in june 2017 kurdish forces and the us coalition attacked isis de facto capital. most man state to fight but their women and an estimated $1200.00 eisel killed and fled to wood safety among them these 2 ball yes. 00000000 it's of what's up message sent by the red cross from

later. when i saw that i you hear was like my married to a low. here mom oh to hold back the tears very obvious try to play a beggar but as soon as we close the dollar the cameras will one day he literally break. them in my arms once again i was like. i cannot come tax man. mahmoud and i you receive psychological support organized by trinidad's ministry of security which is also investigating the circumstances of other women and children still held in ice over refugee camps. they include families from fallacious religious community and her best childhood friend she's over there so her trick it she had. one over in syria have friended told her that living on the ice was not as they'd once imagine the tired frustrated

and. depressed america go on and on but basically all they want is to come back home just go back into the reality life and have it just a bit silly says nell campaigning for their return under the watch of the authorities and a policeman was present during our interview i still have family in stand because majority of them i grew up with. so no dice so have mothers cry for decades that it really matters we have. nearly 100 trinidadian women and children unknown to have emerged from high school territory the 20 dating government is now working on legislation that will determine whether and how they can return there are fears that not everyone who has fled has given up on line and
