The difference is the ideology. The teachings.
Trinidadians (I assume) do not have a religion that preaches their deity is a warrior that will/should conquer all others. Whites (and many other races) usually follow the teachings of Jesus, Yahweh, or Joseph Smith, or other religions that generally teach (or, are interpreted as) non-conquerors.
My comment is not intended to glorify the religion of the white race. Buddhism, Hinduism, and virtually all polytheism is similar or more benevolent.
Islam does not preach self-immolation, patience or tolerance. It makes special claims for itself, is interpreted strictly, and is uniquely problematic.
