Best Answer

Islam came to the British Caribbean as a direct result of the migration of South West Asian labor into that region following the Abolition of Slavery in 1834. In the Dutch West Indies Islam came with the migration of laborers from the East Indies (now Indonesia). These migrations also brought their unique cuisine (curries and rijstaffels) and ganja to the Caribbean.
