SAVE THE DATE: FRIDAY, APRIL 8th - NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING
On Friday, April 8 the IRO has agreed to a Day of Prayer and Fasting for all religions in T&T. This is definitely one of the fruits of our synodal listening process. The theme of the day will be "But for me, I will look to the Lord... my God will hear me" (Micha 7:7)

It's Ramadan, so get ready because the kiddie gloves are coming off. The fact that they have not estranged the jamaat al muslimeen, says they agreed with the known terrorist cell
That's false. {{see quotes in edit below, regarding Yasin}}
Terrorist ideologies of any kind (daesh, isis, proud boys, etc), and anyone who follows that ideology are dogs in the Hell Fire, and we (here in Trinidad, London, the States, Canada, etc) have always been saying this (even myself in this very thread if I'm not mistaken); but it seems that some bigoted people like to keep their comfortable screening bias that tells them that "all Muslims are terrorists" and refuse to accept the truth, and even help out the situation by sharing the correct position.
So again, you should read more.. and PLEASE, share with anyone you think is a terrorist apologizer or sympathizer, from the "jamatul muslimeen" to someone in your own jamaat spouting khariji, isis nonsense.

The Prophet Muhammad, salAllahu alayhi was sallam, said "There will appear at the end of time a people who are young of age, foolish-minded. They will speak with the best (and most-alluring) of speech (that is spoken) by people and will recite the Quran but it will not go beyond their throats. They will pass out of Islaam as the arrow passes through its game. Whoever meets them, let him kill them (ie in battle), for there is a reward for whoever kills them."

If Yasin really wanted development and progress, he would dissolve the "jamaat al-muslimeen" cult (really jamaat al zanadiqa, ie heretics), and free the innocent people there from his sickness, and go learn his religion.
Everything he says seems to have a racial undertone. There is no racism in Islaam. He seems not to get that.

The complete lack of protest or even condemning really showed. First thing was articles against discrimination versus recognizing Islam was turning into supremacist movement

not only pundits, religious leaders in general, they want you to give your time to them also. i know a certain bald head spiritual leader man in central does call a man to go buy bread and bring it for him and this loco man does run go from he house buy the bread and drive from one side of chase village to the other to deliver the bread like a good boy just because bald head dont want to face that traffic.
I tell you it is time to let the old ways die, time to burn all the religious text and do away with religious holidays even christmas. an if you are afraid that god will strike you down for do so then i have a flyover in the bamboo area that i can sell you. if your god so loving they will forgive you and if your god is vengeful and spiteful to strike you down then you better off not worshiping such a character.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.
Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
This deep field, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), is a composite made from images at different wavelengths, totaling 12.5 hours – achieving depths at infrared wavelengths beyond the Hubble Space Telescope’s deepest fields, which took weeks.
The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe.

It is mind-boggling that all we can do is see into the past without ever having the ability to get there. Maybe, long after all of us are dead, we will invent the technology to make those distances much shorter.

Exousia Mas has apologised after coming under fire for using an image of a Hindu god in one of its promotional images, which has caused a social media uproar and upset members of the Hindu community, who are at this time observing a significant festival.
The controversy arose after the Carnival band shared pictures of their costume line-up for 2023, where one female costume designed by Ojai Bess was placed beside a graphic of religious imagery associated with the Hindu god Ganesh.
Many people took to social media, labelling the promotional image as “disgusting” and “disrespectful to Hinduism.”
Lord Ganesh is one of the most recognised gods in the Hindu religion and is known as the remover of obstacles, as well as wisdom and prosperity, identified by an elephant’s head as its most visually distinguishing feature.
In fact, Hindus across the country and the world are at this time observing the 10-day festival of Ganesh Utsav, which marks the birth of Ganesha or Ganesh, as the god is also called.
In a Facebook post, spiritual leader of the Satya Anand Ashram in Aranguez, Pundit Satyanand Maharaj, called out Exousia Mas for “appropriating” Hindu symbols.
“Once again, Hindu religious imagery has been appropriated for un-Hindu activities,” he said.
“These same people would not use Christian or Muslim imagery for their advertising,” he continued, imploring corporations and graphic designers to be mindful of their designs and messaging.
Maharaj reflected on a similar situation that happened in the past, noting in 2020, the local restaurant Hakka apologised to members of the Hindu community for using images of the Hindu god Ganesh on their merchandise.
In an interview with Guardian Media yesterday, Exousia Mas bandleader Colin Providence explained the misuse of the religious symbol.
“What would have happened is our graphic department would have used an image that they were not aware was a religious image in their graphics,” he said.
“But it was brought to our attention, we took immediate steps.”
In a social media post, Exousia Mas said the board of directors and management offered their unreserved apology to the Hindu community and had removed all graphics of the religious symbol from their social media pages.

what is an un-hindu activity? watch any fete and see how much indian and possible hindu women in "costume" in lewd behavior. watch any caura fete and see the same. you rarely see or hear muslims girls going a fete but talk to any hindu as "dem in that".
hindus from india in the past believe in beauty and the display of beauty. this is why the places of worship are dressed up, the women have mehendi and gold and saris are so woven to look beautiful vs muslim that hide beauty under hijabs etc. hindus plant flowers to beautify their surroundings and all that jazz. so carnival is just like phagwa with all the colours and rum drinking and lewd behavior so if it is part of their life why this baba decide he want to cause trouble for the mas band.

Let's dispel the myth one time: Muslim girls hoe out just as much if not more. And they love their alcohol. There is a mosque in siparia in the 2000s the imam daughter used to be called Hennessey.
We picture Hindu girls more as being slutty, because, well alot of them are. But don't think Muslim girls any different. Don't be fooled when they turned false pious when Ramadan comes.
The issue is the band used Hindu iconography as a marketing element of their band

On a side note -I saw an article about Tandoori hut mixing beef in their lamb without informing their customers.If that was pork, they would have already been burn down.

Narrated `Abdullah:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you collected in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him and the Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it."
