HANCOCK, N.Y. — If you didn't know where to look, you'd probably never find Islamberg, a private Muslim community in the woods of the western Catskills, 150 miles northwest of New York City.

Time to buy up as much of the adjacent land as possible and start up a mega pig farm.

Quiet?
Until they drew the attention of the outside, there was lots of automatic weapons fire and explosions coming from the vicinity.
They’ve probably moved their rifle range and terror training to a different location that isn’t under as much scrutiny.

“”It’s a village,” he insisted, “with people of all backgrounds, cultures and races.”

Yeah.. .right. . .and every single one is a terrorist.

Wonder when Perky Katie will interview the mayor and ask if his community is exclusionary like that Christian community set up by, I think, the owners of Dominos.

There is an excellent documentary about this and the other camps around the US. It’s “Homegrown Jihad” published as a DVD by www.ChristianAction.org and www.PaulRevereBrigade.com. It’s worth getting and watching it. Scary.

Exerpt and link:

Islamberg was founded in 1980 by Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani, a Pakistani cleric who purchased a 70-acre plot and invited followers, mostly Muslim converts living in New York City, to settle there.

The town has its own mosque, grocery store and schoolhouse. It also reportedly has a firing range where residents take regular target practice.

I like the way you think. Why not have both? The on-site slaughter house will ensure the pulled pork samiches are fresh. Then erect the 100 ft billboard one inch inside the property line taht faces their property, fully illuminated for easy nighttime viewing, with a picture of Uncle Sam and a quotation bubble that says, "Hey Stinkbeard, How do you like me now?"

Interesting. The bottom line in the caption under the photo has been whited out, but I was able to copy it and see that it says: “Welcome to Holy Islamberg, The International Quranic Open University.’”

I've known about the place for years....

It's a guarded community that resembles a Palestinian refugee camp. No one gets in, not even the Sheriff or the NY State Troopers.

I tried Google satelite option also.
It said no satelite image at this distance.
I finally got it to show, and it was only
a heavily wooded area. Not much else.

I have family that live east of that place,
Fleishmans, Pine Hill, Margaretville. They have
not mentioned anything about this. I wonder why?

“”I used to work customs when I was overseas and I come here and get harassed at the grocery store and the bank. A clerk claimed my military ID was invalid because I’m Muslim,” the resident told FOX News.”

Taqiyya alert! Taqiyya alert!

PS—”Quiet muslim town” my foot. Whenever police try to go into the compound, they are stopped at the perimeter by armed guards.

[Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives.]

After a recent fire, still under investigation as arson, nobody will ever hear of Islamberg again.

"No one gets in, not even the Sheriff or the NY State Troopers."

This should work both ways.
If outsiders can't get in, then insiders should not be able to leave the community. In fact the Sheriff and NYS Troopers should guard the entrance and prohibit anyone from leaving.

This went on under Clinton and GW Bush and before that

I’d say it really grew under Clinton

I doubt Hussein II and his cultists realize the consequences to them when the Muzzies hit America again

Somehow the traditional Catskill comedians find this town excluded from their Borscht Belt itineraries.

A state trooper, a sheriff and a rabbi went up to Islamberg.

The trooper said “I’m here on behalf of the citizens of New York state!”.

“There’s no New York citizens here;” he was told, “go away”. After consulting with his superiors he did just that.

The sheriff swaggered up and said “I’m here on behalf of this community!”. The Islamists hollered “We made it clear we wish nothing to do with your community of infidels.”

The sheriff called the mayor, frowned and went back to his vehicle.

The rabbi calmly approached and said “I’m here for the rent.”

Antimullah.com recently had a story about how that place geared down after all the news coverage. Those muzzies who trained there are all across the USA by now.
