britney spears just got arrested for hit and run. this is all i hear on the news, or OJ. never this. the government doesn't really care. zorkot, a hezbullah terrorist was charged with weapons offences, not terrorism.

Kudos also to Dymphna and the Baron at Gates of Vienna. They have been on this from the gitgo and have generously supplied aerial photos of the Fuqran compounds, along with interviews with locals about their feelings. Sounds like a possible Waco in the Making to me.

How many body bags is it going to take for the government to take action against these camps? 3,000 clearly wasn't enough.

Posted by: irish_infidel at September 22, 2007 7:06 PM

That group "moslems of America" have the domestic terrorists-in-the-making "nation of islam" written all over it.

But unlike waco, such rabidly enthusiastic "pursuit of justice" as in 1993 is reserved only for "the vast right wing conspiracy"...yet these animals are FAR worse, but won't get anything near the same scrutiny, and sad to say, everyone knows it.

If we went after REAL terrorists the way they did the wacko in waco, there wouldn't be a terrorist left in America.

"Sheikh Gilani has been on U.S. intelligence agencies' radar for years."

I suppose we'll have to wait until they slahghter a bunch of school kids before anything gets done.

These camps should be raided, everyone rounded up and sent to Pakistan, including "African Americans", who are badly in need of an education in Islam and race.

Posted by: rational at September 22, 2007 7:28 PM

irish_infidel:
good point...problem is, we average 4,200 body bags per year due to murder by illegals, which is over 5 times as many as are military casualties in the combat zones per year...and nobody says a damned thing about that...so you can bet it'll take more than that...a LOT more, sad to say.

I wish it didn't have to be that way, but as long as people have their personal amenities, and are kept fat, happy, and yes, stupid...don't count on much.

Now, if they took out the electric/electronic grid (cable TV, banking, game systems, computers, heating, cooling, cooking, lighting, etc) then they WILL raise hell...until then, forget it.

There's one such militant Muslim (excuse the redundancy) training group in northeastern Pennsylvania in Wayne County, on the NY/PA state line. My educated guess is that the FBI (and IRS) are keeping an eye out on these parasitical miscreants, but nonetheless I find it instructive to reflect upon just how much Mohammed's true believers, pathetic and misguided though they are, have established themselves here in America. Telling. Chilling. Indicative of the many struggles which lie ahead for our nation and all of the West. Dark times indeed. Darker ones to come.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will come in with buses full of wild-eyed followers screaming racism.

They'll have no idea where they are or what exactly is the racist issue du jour; but it would matter.

CNN would show up to along with Al-Jazera and Reuters; next thing you know you'd have all the politicians tripping over one another to step in front of the cameras to "apologize" and demand an investigation as to WHY these raids took place.

good point but the difference is that it's not as though these illegals are organizing in training camps that the government KNOWS about in order to murder Americans. The government is horrible on immigration but their lack of action on these camps is much much worse....it borders on treason.

(PLEASE POST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AT OTHER WEBSITES)

The U.S. Senate Project (an initiative to increase congressional awareness of the nature and goals of jihad) currently has 91 volunteers in 41 states.

WE ARE STILL SEEKING ADDITIONAL CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS FROM ALL 50 STATES, ESPECIALLY THE FOLLOWING 10:

Connecticut
Delaware
Mississippi
Montana
North Dakota
Oklahoma
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
Wyoming

THE PROJECT: We're looking for people in every state of the Union who would be willing to purchase, from Amazon or any other source, a copy of Robert Spencer's new book Religion of Peace? Why Christianity Is And Islam Isn't and mail it, on an agreed upon date, to one of the senators in your state. We want to get the book simultaneously to all 100 senators, in order to send a strong message. If we get more than two people per state, books can also be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.

If you'd like to participate (or you just have questions), please write to me at traehnam@yahoo.com under the subject heading "Senate," and tell me the state your senator represents, and a nickname. No need for your real name. And I will never share your email address with anyone, not even with other volunteers for this project.

And visit jihadawareness.blogspot.com to get more info on this project and to leave comments other volunteers can read. You can also see there the growing list of participants in this project, and the states their senators represent. I've also designed a graphic that might amuse. Scroll down when you get to the site.

Once we have at least two people from every state, we can agree on a mailing date and then each of us can mail a copy of the book on that date.

Right before each of us mails the book, we’ll issue a press release to media outlets in as many states as possible, and in that way announce and explain the mailing. And perhaps we can come up with some other ways of maximizing the effectiveness of this project and gaining as much positive attention as possible.

One of the project's volunteers suggested contacting Rep. Sue Myrick, who started the Anti-Jihad Caucus in Congress. When we reach the goal of having all 100 senators covered, I'll call Rep. Myrick's office and see if she can help. I've called several congressional offices to get advice on how best to proceed.

Posted by: traeh at September 22, 2007 8:56 PM

I believe this is the same guy and outfit behind the upstate NY camp in Islamberg. Given the ties to Islamofascism, these camps should all be shut down, but that's going to be very difficult as I'm sure that they are largely staffed by US citizens, people with civil rights.
In a legal sense, therefore, it is far easier to fight them over there than it is to fight them here.

This story is along the same lines as the ones concerning 'Islamberg", New York, and other places that have surfaced in the last few months. I'm glad the information is getting out by which-ever way, but it bothers me that no kind of information or warning comes through the MSM or government sources and that the government has taken no action other than at the compound near Buena Vista, Colorado.
As have already been pointed out in this thread, there is one heck of a difference in the way these people are treated and what happened with the Branch Davidians near Waco. Why is that...I wonder?? Supposedly we're fighting a war on terror: video cameras take away our privacy in the name of security; my 15 year old daughter had to remove her prosthetic leg before getting on a plane in case she was carring a bomb; banks want to know where money came from in case I'm getting it from a terrorist organization. All of us are losing freedoms in the name of national security, yet our borders have more holes than a collander and there are FRAKKING TERRORIST TRAINING CAMPS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE DAMN COUNTRY THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO CLOSE DOWN. Certainly there are children in danger at these places? That was the excuse for striking and laying siege to the people at Waco, why the hell doesn't that logic work for these religious fanatics, too?

Sorry to go off on a rant- but this sort of continuing crap pisses me off.

Posted by: livefreeordie! at September 22, 2007 9:59 PM

I would not be at all surprised is there was one of these camps near Tyler, Texas.

I got an email a few months ago which led to a link and an article about Jamaat ul Fuqra. I was shocked to see the name of my city in this article, so I wrote to the authors and received a prompt reply from Mr. Douglas J. Hagmann, Director, Northeast Intelligence Network.

As it turned out, there isn't a suspected training camp here, but a small group of JuF members that split from a compound in Macon, hooked up with some brothers from Commerce, and settled in an inner city neighborhood here. That just about covers the entire state! Atlanta is teeming with muslims and will soon resemble certain European cities with massive muslim ghettoes, satellite dishes hung from every balcony railing. I have talked to local law enforcement people about these guys and they claim they know nothing about them. I know some people who live in the inner city and they made some subtle inquiries. I think I know exactly where they are, but I don't know how many are there or what they're up to. There is only one mosque in this area and it's a long way from downtown. I don't think they are praying at the one and only, very tiny, local mosque.

The JuF people in Georgia are primarily ex-inmates from the Georgia prison system who were recruited and indoctrinated by islamic clerics while serving time. The serious training camps are in the Georgia mountains in remote, unpopulated areas. It is unacceptable for these filthy muslim pigs to desecrate one of the most beautiful places on earth, the very location I plan to live some day when I retire. They may have chosen the wrong place for their nefarious activities, especially if the local good ole boys should happen to run into them. I hope they do.

OBL has warned that the next time we are attacked, we will be hit in places no one would ever expect. He mentioned "rural" areas. Everyone should be extremely vigilant and observant, no matter where you live. They could be anywhere and they are turning up in the most unusual and incongruous places. It looks like we'll be protecting ourselves from these barbarians; the feds don't seem the least bit interested.

Maybe not totally on topic but I have been to Snowdonia and other national parks in the UK. I frequently see Muslims walking and running up and down the hills in groups of three or more adult and juvenile males with heavy backpacks and outdoor gear. Odd really because Muslims on the whole are lazy ******ds who are loathe to even break out into a run let alone beyond a swagger and there is nothing for them outside their mini Islamic republics in Oldhamistan and Bradfordistan.

Take a ride on some rural roads this weekend, its nice to get out. Maybemake up a little "scavanger hunt" list of places to pass and note the goings on. 1st drive by your local reservoir, anyone jogging, biking or hiking around? Then take a ride on any secluded roads or trails, any new structures built behind ol' farmhouses? If yes, do any of these structures display any religous symbolism? Hey when you stopped and did a little hiking, did you hear any gunfire in the woods? Hopefully just that of a responsible hunter. Notice anyone playing paintball?...some call me paranoid, I just call it survival. Take notes, you just might be the person that can really help your country.

My Fellow JW/DW'ers,
Please look at:
http://www.alfuqraexposed.com/search/label/Aliville
This place "Aliville" is near me and my family. The Muslim 'bases' are almost everywhere (no, the sky is not falling, but pray and prepare). Documentation exists on the web about the various locations of these new communities.
The closest to me is located near a large Army base, an important Navy base, and a nuclear plant.
Other of these communities are near Macon, about 90 miles from but also home to airports, schools, and military bases.
We local boys are armed, have concealed carry permits, hunt, can our food and other self dependent activities but we will be forced into react mode only--- after these communities become "active".
Our local authorities either claim ignorance or will not speak about these Islamic villages.
Unfortunately we are being invaded. Large cities and university towns have a large Muslim populations. These populations are located right next to airports. Google Jacksonville, FL terrorism news.
Our leaders are either bought and owned by banks and the Saudi's or they are on something. The majority of Americans want our borders secured.
I've rambled a bit much but hopefully y'all get my point. We are a nation sorely divided. Try to educate family, friends, and neighbors. Pass them copies of Robert's great books, this and other web sites, Andrew Bostom's phenominal book "Legacy of Jihad" and "Unholy Terror" by John Schindler. Col. David Hunt's exploits are heroic!!!

Springtime in Islamberg
Terrorism Dr. Paul Williams
May 12, 2007

Editor's Note: Douglas Hagmann, Bill Krayer and Michael Travis contributed to this article.

Situated within a dense forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York, Islamberg is not an ideal place for a summer vacation unless, of course, you are an exponent of the Jihad or a fan of Osama bin Laden.

The 70 acre complex is surrounded with “No trespassing” signs; the rocky terrain is infested with rattlesnakes; and the woods are home to black bears, coyotes, wolves, and a few bobcats.

The entrance to the community is at the bottom of a very steep hill that is difficult to navigate even on a bright sunny day in May. The road, dubbed Muslim Lane, is unpaved and marred by deep crevices that have been created by torrential downpours. On a wintry day, few, save those with all terrain vehicles, could venture forth from the remote encampment.

A sentry post has been established at the base of the hill.

The sentry, at the time of this visit, is an African American dressed in Islamic garb – a skull cap, a prayer shawl, and a loose fitting shalwat kameez. He instructs us to turn around and leave. “Our community is not open to visitors,” he says.

Behind the sentry and across a small stream stand dozens of inhabitants of the compound – the men wearing skull caps and loose fitting tunics, the women in full burqa. They appear ready to deal with any unauthorized intruders.

The hillside is blighted by rusty trailers that appear to be without power or running water and a number of outhouses. The scent of raw sewage is in the air.

The place is even off limits to the local undertaker who says that he has delivered bodies to the complex but has never been granted entrance. “They come and take the bodies from my hearse. They won’t allow me to get past the sentry post. They say that they want to prepare the bodies for burial. But I never get the bodies back. I don’t know what’s going on there but I don’t think it’s legal.”

On the other side of the hill where few dare to go is a tiny village replete with a make-shift learning center (dubbed the “International Quranic Open University”); a trailer converted into a Laundromat; a small, green community center; a small and rather squalid grocery store; a newly constructed majid; over forty clapboard homes; and scores of additional trailers.

It is home to hundreds – all in Islamic attire, and all African-Americans. Most drive late model SUVs with license plates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee. The locals say that some work as tollbooth operators for the New York State Thruway, while others are employed at a credit card processing center that maintains confidential financial records.

While buzzing with activity during the week, the place becomes a virtual hive on weekends. The guest includes arrivals from the inner cities of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and, occasionally, white-robed dignitaries in Ray-Bans from the Middle East.

Venturing into the complex last summer, Douglas Hagmann, an intrepid investigator and director of the Northeast Intelligence Service, came upon a military training area at the eastern perimeter of the property. The area was equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, wooden fences for scaling, a make-shift obstacle course, and a firing range. Hagmann said that the range appeared to have been in regular use.

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; Tulare County, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania.

Before becoming a citizen of Islamberg or any of the other Fuqra compounds, the recruits – primarily inner city black men who became converts in prison – are compelled to sign an oath that reads: “I shall always hear and obey, and whenever given the command, I shall readily fight for Allah’s sake.”

In the past, thousands of members of the U.S. branches of Jamaat ul-Fuqra traveled to Pakistan for paramilitary training, but encampments, such as Islamberg, are now capable of providing book-camp training so raw recruits are no longer required to travel abroad amidst the increased scrutiny of post 9/11.

Over the years, numerous members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra have been convicted in US courts of such crimes as conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, and workers’ compensation fraud. Others remain leading suspects in criminal cases throughout the country, including ten unsolved assassinations and seventeen fire-bombings between 1979 and 1990.

The criminal charges against the group and the criminal convictions are not things of the past. In 2001, a resident of a California compound was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of a sheriff’s deputy; another was charged with gun-smuggling’ and twenty-four members of the Red House community were convicted of firearms violations.

By 2004 federal investigators uncovered evidence that linked both the DC “sniper killer” John Allen Muhammed and “Shoe Bomber” Richard Reid to the group and reports surfaced that Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was captured and beheaded in the process of attempting to obtain an interview with Sheikh Gilani in Pakistan.

Even though Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been involved in terror attacks and sundry criminal activities, recruited thousands of members from federal and state penal systems, and appears to be operating paramilitary facilities for militant Muslims, it remains to be placed on the official US Terror Watch List. On the contrary, it continues to operate, flourish, and expand as a legitimate nonprofit, tax-deductible charity.

I'm in the Northeast, not only do we have these same camps, we have an overabundance of "sympathizers" up here. Unfortunately, I think some law enforcement can be lumped in with that. This is why I keep harping on take notes, we might be answering after the fact(if we can) but at least we might have answers. Scary times, I'm glad we have this site.

And here we see even more reasons than ever to outlaw Islam in the USA besides the major one (that it is designed to kill non-Islamic people and never relents in its efforts to do so).

There are at last count over 45 Islamic terrrist training camps on US soil operating in at least 7 states including california, virginia, tennessee, and new york. They are believed to be related to al-qaeda (jamaat ul-fuqra) and thus are likely to prove extremely dangerous to American people.

Islamofascist training camps also exist aplenty in Latin America(especially the tri-border region), Canada, western Europe, Indonesia's tropical forests, and elsewhere.

Wherever they exist they pose a menace to national security and human life and limb.

Deliver us all from Islam!
