LAKE LUZERNE -- One of North America's largest Muslim organizations wants to build a summer camp in the Adirondacks on 114 acres it recently acquired.

The Islamic Circle of North America, a Muslim advocacy group based in New York City, hopes to raise money to develop a camp for children and families of all religions on land donated to it last year, Muhammad Rahman, ICNA's secretary general, said in an interview Thursday.snip

a doctor named Sayeeda Tahera Jafar transferred the deed on the 114.4-acre property to the ICNA last week. Word about the donation started moving around this North Country town of no more than 3,000 people on Thursday.

"It's kind of their business, and it's probably a good thing," Steve Mackey, co-owner of Luzerne Market, said of the ICNA's plans. "We're Americans, a melting pot." snip

On Valentine's Day, several hundred Americans protested an ICNA fundraiser in California, citing controversial and anti-American statements made by two of the event's speakers,

I'd be nervous if I lived in this little town, but the town doesn't seem to be bothered by it, at least according to the newspaper story.

These... and the street gangs.. are the new militias. Or, as the Communists used to say, the new criminal auxiliaries.

For regular whitebread taxpaying citizens... no militia, no training for you.

The school will be used to spread love and peace or kill the infidel crap? I’d want to know if that was moving into my neighborhood.

I’d rather have a Super Fund site down the road from me than this bunch of Fascist haters. Sure to be some parking lot ‘incidents’ in the future.

I remember threads about a Missouri camp on government land that was refused to the Boy Scouts a year or so ago.

This, I think, would be the second such camp in NY....?

Muslim Terror Training Camps in the United States

This group, known as Jamaat ul-Fuqra (JF), was founded by Sheik Mubarak Ali Gilani during a 1980 visit to New York. In an effort to stop the perceived influence of Western ideology on Islam, JF uses violence to keep Islam from being ‘tainted’ by Western influences. JF will even wage violence upon members of their own faith, if they are suspected of not being faithful to Islam. In 1980, Gilani purchased 70 acres of land near the Catskill Mountains and founded Islamberg, in Hancock NY, a Muslim-only community where Muslim followers and converts could settle and reside in. Today, over 30 similar Muslim-only communities have sprung up all across the United States.

What can possibly go wrong at that ‘youth camp’?

I can see it now:

Pin the tail on the goat.
Hajib and burkah weaving and knitting
Call to prayer calling contests
How to pilot your rubber raft to take out cruiser ships
How to care and love your AK-47
How to build bombs.

Thank you for posting that.

I heard a woman call Sean Hannity’s show to talk about an Islamic training camp near Binghamton, NY.

Here’s a link I just found:

I’ll check out your link, too.

You forgot about the class where the kiddies build rubberband powered airplanes and fly them into scale models of office towers.

For no good reason, we allow Muslim immigration. Thanks to the dynamics of unending extended family chain migration, the amount of Muslim immigration will no doubt increase.

This need not be so. Congress and the President could end mass immigration any time they want, but no Democrat will vote to cut off the mechanism that will deliver them demographic supremacy in this century, while the GOP seems content to march down the road to demographic oblivion.

But Islam in particular is not compatible with Western values. There is no reason to grow that population through public policy.

Good post.

Political correctness, and lack of leadership and courage, is killing us.

Our politically-correct governments will be the last to get a handle on terrorism, or potential terrorism.
