Jamaat al Muslimeen

The Jammat-al-Muslimeen (Arabic: جماعة المسلمين, romanized: al-Jamā‘at al-Muslimīn; also transliterated as Jamaat-ul Muslimeen or Jama'at al-Muslimeen: "School of Muslims", "The Muslim Assembly", "The Muslim Society", "The Muslim Community") is an Islamistfundamentalist group in Trinidad and Tobago.

The organisation was responsible for the Jamaat al Muslimeen coup attempt of July 1990, in which its leader, Imam Yasin Abu Bakr, led members of the Jamaat in an attempted coup d'état against the unpopular Government of Trinidad and Tobago. Over a six-day period, members of the government, including then-Prime Minister A.N.R. Robinson, were held hostage at gunpoint, while the group occupied a television station and parliament, and chaos and looting broke out in the streets of the capital, Port of Spain.
