Islamberg, NY, USA: Islamic terrorist training center?

Springtime in Islamberg

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.
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; Tulane Country, 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.

It's wierd, but I came to ALIPAC because of illegal immigration and didn't really know ANYTHING about Islam. Some of my jewish friends had mentioned some of the atrocities committed against jews in the name of Allah
and of course there was 9-11, 7-7, Madrid etc., but I never realized how full of hatred and intolerance Islam really was until I came to ALIPAC (and then did some research on my own).por las chupacabras todo, fuero de las chupacabras nada

Sam, this is the estimated 25% of illegals nobody wants to talk about, the OTM illegals .
They are hiring mexicans and others to help them get across our borders .
Also another thing nobody seems interested in, is the fact that our northern borders are wide open and the muslims use them because it's so easy to come in from Canada .
But the paramilitary compound this thread is about mostly consist of black Americans recruited from our prisons and the Farracon Million Man March .
If this wa a white paramilitary group known for terrorist ties, it would be kept under investigaion or have 'special ' programs on major media networks .
I am not defending Ruby Ridge ,Waco Freemans or any other issolationist groups . But from what i read, they did nothing in comparason to these groups and they were put to a bloody end by our leaders . Even their children were killed , not once but twice .
Seems we only tolerate anti-American hate groups in this nation .
Something really scairy going on and nobody wants to talk about it .
