Local muslim a security risk?

I’m not getting into whether or not the guy is a security risk (but I emailed my mom to check and it’s ASJA being their annoying self as usual). All I’ll say is people should be allowed to have their opinions and that is all.

ASJA is one of many muslim organizations at home (Trinidad & Tobago)…note: one of many and there are also the independent groups of muslims that don’t belong to any of these major organizations.

But if you listen to the beginning of the clip, Colleen Holder says, “The governing body of the nation’s Muslims, [ASJA]…”

Hello! it might be the governing body of the ASJA and ASJA might have the majority membership but they are NOT the governing body of the nation’s muslims. Only in their dreams anyway. And if they were, then they would treat all muslims with respect and all jamaat’s with respect unless they’ve showed they deserve otherwise.

They are as a group so annoying and arrogant and…well…that is all. I have been out of it for so long that I should probably say no more.

As you can no doubt tell, I’m not an ASJA member…they don’t speak for me…they just cause trouble.

Of course, it would be nice to be told that I misunderstood what she said on the news, and that they didn’t mean that ASJA was the governing body and also I’m not blaming CCN necessarily, just ASJA for trying to portray themselves as such.
