    Islamberg, NY, USA: Islamic terrorist training center?

    Springtime in Islamberg

    By Paul L. Williams

    May 14, 2007

    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.

    I'd never heard of it until recently in another ALIPAC thread. Obviously, the MSM won't report stories on places like Islamburg -- because it would conflict w/their official position on Islam as the religion of peace.

    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).

    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 .

    Sheikh al-Gilani?

    You guessed it! A friend of UBL.

    He was scheduled to meet with Daniel Pearl before he was assasinated by Al Qaeda.
