Radical Muslim paramilitary compound flourishes in upper New York state
Msgt Theresa’s comment below in the post about the polygamist chicks sparked my memory of this post from Jihad Watch a year ago.
“So, when the “compounds” of islam worshipers, like the ones springing up across the country are monitored and found to be in violation of whatever laws, will the authorities react as aggressively against them or will they be held up by the PC bullshit currently in place when we deal with “islam”?”
Would the government be so eager to bust onto this little complex vs the one with a bunch of psychologically disturb women?
Islamberg, New York: “You can hear gunfire up there. I can’t understand why the FBI won’t shut it down”
(Jihad Watch Link) The intrepid Paul Williams has a report in Canada Free Press (thanks to all who sent this in) about his visit to Islamberg, New York, a camp run by the jihadist Jamaat ul-Fuqra group. The inhabitants wouldn’t let him into the compound, but he talked to some of the locals, and found out a good deal:
Islamberg is not as benign as a Buddhist monastery or a Carmelite convent. Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the
Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives. None of the neighbors wished to be identified for fear of “retaliation.” “We don’t even dare to slow down when we drive by,” one resident said. “They own the mountain and they know it and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can’t even do that. Who wants to buy a property near that?”The complex serves to scare the bejeesus out of the local residents. “If you go there, you better wear body armor,” a customer at the Circle E Diner in Hancock said. “They have armed guards and if they shoot you, nobody will find your body.”
At Cousins, a watering hole in nearby Deposit, a barfly, who didn’t wish to be identified, said: “The place is dangerous. You can hear gunfire up there. I can’t understand why the FBI won’t shut it down.”
Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as “the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr,” Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or “community of the impoverished,” an organization that seeks to “purify” Islam through violence.
Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in New York and openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in hamaats or compounds, such as Islamberg, where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority. Additional hamaats have been established in Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania.
Read it all. And then contact your congressman.

Old NY Post Story: CATSKILLS SITE EYED June 4, 2007 — A remote Muslim commune nestled in the Catskill Mountains has come under the scrutiny of state and federal authorities for possible ties to terrorism, according to law-enforcement sources.
Officials say Islamberg - a wooded, 70-acre encampment in upstate Tompkins, about three hours north of the city - acts as the headquarters for an outfit called Muslims of the Americas, widely believed to be a front for Jamaat al-Fuqra, founded by radical Pakistani cleric Mubarak Ali Gilani.

And that’s exactly why I mentioned it. It you notice the locations they are spread across the middle section of this country. How about the feds looking into them as vigorously as they’ve gone after the kooks at the compound in Texas?

Hmmm….sounds like we need to pass the coordinates to this little spot on to the local B-52’s over here and let em do some uh…”practice” bombing runs.
Time to lock and load folks. It’s going to get ugly when these monsters cut loose.
