BADGER -- A handwritten sign on an isolated, winding section of Highway 245 advertised a yard sale Thursday. "Everything must go," it read.
Apparently, that included the people who lived there.
One woman and a collection of clothes, chairs and computer parts were all that remained of Baladullah, a Muslim village near the mountain community of Badger.

Gateway Charter Schools just last week dropped their lawsuit against Fresno County Sup of Schools. They were charging that their charter was revoked due to discrimination against Muslims. Apparently they had no more taxpayer money to pay the slimy lawyer with (no offense to slime).
Thankfully the money was cutoff, and now that "rats" are fleeing.
This Baladullah is a part of the Al-Fuqra network that operates several compounds across the USA. They are associated with Sheik Gilani of Pakistan. Most recently associated with the death of WSJ reporter Daniel Pearl. Gilani is the one that Pearl was attempting to interview.
This Baladullah, was operating several charter schools all over California. It was determined that they were unable to account for a few million dollars of taxpayer money, and more descrepancies, so they were shut down. The suspicion is that the funds were supporting Terrorism.
This is another example of what gets done when things get exposed on Free Republic.
This is more proof when these home grown terrorist pods lose financing like our tax $'s for their so called Charter School or $'s from Saudi Arabia and US Islamic Terrorist organizations, they cease to exist.
Very little Islamic acts of terrorism can be planned and executed without money.
Hopefully, our new fbi has been following and will follow these Black Muslim/al Fuqra SOB's.
Now, the FBI or BATF needs to go in and collect every spent bullet used in target practice at this compound to specifically identify weapons owned and used by this Black Muslim/al Fuqra terrorist group as per what Travis McGee suggestion last December. Finger printing the compound would be a prudent move.
Another Freeper Job that ends up as a well done. Thanks to Clovis Skeptic spreading the word last December. Then the Freeper Anti Terrorist Group sprang into action.
I have been posting about how our national security would be improved if we had 500,000 alert Freepers like Clovis Skeptic out in America monitoring these scum bags and then putting the spotlight on them. The FBI could in many cases just monitor FR to target their investigations. Left wing Fish Wrap like the Fresno Bee can no longer spike stories like this one to be Politically Correct.
Hopefully every Freeper involved exposing this cancer is a monthly contributor to Free Republic! We need thousands of monthly contributors to Free Republic to keep Free Republic strong and vibrant to bust more of the Jihadists in America.
Well done, Clovis Skeptic, Red Lady and all Freepers involved in dragging this cancer cell out into the spotlight of truth to destroy it!
Clovis, thanks for this great news. It would not have happen if not for you and Free Republic.
When that funding disappeared, they had to leave.
Now to your question of where are they? They have moved to communities with Black Muslim/al Fuqra pods and will be doing the same thing. That is preaching death to whites, Jews and anyone in their way of hatred. These are racist parasites, and they need our tax $'s to live their lives of hatred/anti America agendas. So they will go to states/cities where they can get the manna from Tax suckers to live and hate America. They will be welcomed in those states/cities by the Rats in charge.
Notice the Uhaul sign. Apparently these Jihadists in America had a Uhaul franchise. Great way to make money and have vans/trucks to haul stuff around for terrorist activities.
How about they just go back to the Middle East where they are wanted?
Hey Jim, you or John ought to go over there and get a few items for a Freepathon Auction, like that Uhaul sign for one. Or just put them in/on your trophy case.
I'm sure that those, whom live in that area and have a brain are feeling better with these thugs gone! Too bad they didn't leave before the young deputy was murdered by one of their graduates.
Interesting that once the millions we were contributing to them was shut off, they split the scene so to speak. Might have something to do with a certain spook group with three letters initials were watching them.
Hopefully they know where this group is now!
I believe it is partly due to the large thread you started here and pressure put on the state and law enforcement by freepers that they are no longer in our neighborhood teaching terrorist techiniques to the children with our tax dollars!
We exposed them and they ran away to hide in other locales.
Every one keep their eye out for U-Haul trailers!

It was a pic of the compound entrance cluttered with left over yard sale junk, and a "U Haul" rental sign hanging above.
Then again maybe the got their marching orders from OBL as to which cities they have been assigned to attack. So they just broke camp to go setup in their individual target cities.
Maybe the Fresno Bee was getting too many hits on the picture of the old Jihad in America Site and changed the picture.
Actually it is in a way, what happened. They are gone and the American Flag is still flying. A little similiar of other pictures where our side wins, and the American Flag goes up!
Several suggestions come to mind. The least provocative of those suggestions would be Pakistan. Then they can be surrounded by their moslem buds. They are likely to get the treatment they deserve.
Better yet here is a great article that spells out the problems with this woman and her school and her compound

Cleric's followers have hopscotched around California
BY SEAN WEBBY AND BRANDON BAILEY Knight Ridder Newspapers
SAN JOSE, Calif. - (KRT) - The name of Sheik Mubarik Ali Gilani has been little-known in California, except to a small number of African-American Muslims who follow his teachings, and to law enforcement authorities who have tracked their movements across the state.
But two other names are prominent in the history of Gilani's followers here. Abdullah Baqi was once described by law enforcement authorities as the West Coast leader of a dangerous group they called Ul-Fuqra. And an analysis of public records indicates that Baqi was married to the woman now called Khadijah Ghafur, who later founded the community outside Fresno known as Baladullah.
California authorities first came across Gilani's followers in 1983.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were investigating a prowler report in Compton when they noticed two men stowing something in a car trunk. The deputies reported finding a rifle, a silencer and a police scanner in the car. According to Susan Fenger, the lead state investigator on a major Ul-Fuqra case in Colorado in the 1990s, they also found documents linking the two men to other Gilani followers in the United States.
One of the two men was later identified by law enforcement authorities as Abdullah Baqi. They determined that Baqi had opened a branch of Gilani's International Qur'anic Open University at a modest home in Compton, a crowded, working-class community that was plagued by drugs and gang activity in the 1980s.
The owner of that house in Compton still lives in a neighboring city and remembers her tenants well. Landlady Verdie Faas said she rented the home to a man and his wife, Deanna, although she soon discovered dozens of other people living in trailers behind the house. Public records show that Deanna Baqi, who used the same Social Security number as Khadijah Ghafur, lived at the Compton house. By 1984, authorities had traced Baqi to a remote spot in the high desert of the San Bernardino Mountains, about 100 miles northeast of Compton. Baqi and two other men had bought a 10-acre parcel of land there.
Neighbors today recall several dozen people - men, women and at least 20 young children - living in military-style tents and old trailers, on a dry, wind-swept parcel in an area called Summit Valley.
"They never bothered anybody, but you were always leery of them," recalled Dave Weber, who lived nearby. He remembered hearing gunfire on the property at night. Some valley residents knew Baqi as James A. Jennings, which Baqi listed as his other name on a real-estate deed from that time. Weber described him as a cordial, well-spoken man who said he had studied in Pakistan. In another legal document from that time, Abdullah Baqi gave his wife's name as Khadijah Baqi.
After a year or so, Weber's neighbors moved farther into the hills. Then, one day in 1986, they were gone. Sheriff's deputies searched the site and reported finding typewritten notes about the 1983 murder of a Muslim leader in Michigan, according to Fenger. They also found photographs of a mosque that had been firebombed and a photo of Baqi with another Gilani follower, Stephen Paster. Paster was later convicted of firebombing an Oregon hotel owned by the Baghwan Shree Rajneesh, an Indian religious leader who had established his own sect in a rural part of that state.
One of the co-owners of that first desert parcel was Rasuli Jabari. Now living on a farm in Mississippi, Rasuli Jabari chuckled when he was asked about those days. "I was a young Muslim," he said. "Having grown up through the `60s and `70s, and to be an African-American and Vietnam veteran - it was all about being a search. I was gullible and easily influenced."
Jabari said he long ago parted ways with the group, and declined to elaborate.
Abdullah Baqi disappeared from the public record in the late 1980s. In 1989, Khadijah Baqi incorporated a non-profit group called Banaatun-Noor in San Bernadino County. The Muslims of the Americas today say that is the name of their affiliate for Muslim women that conducts educational trips to Pakistan.
Shortly after, Khadijah Baqi leased a former Baptist youth camp in the Central Sierra.
Property manager Polly Doyle remembers that the tenant wanted to use the site as a shelter for disadvantaged children and their families.
Soon there were several dozen people living in the cabins. But problems arose: Neighbors reported hearing gunfire on the property and local land-use officials found numerous violations of building and safety codes. By 1993, the group had fallen months behind on the rent and the owner filed to evict them.
What followed was an eviction process like Doyle had never seen. FBI agents came to interview her and the owner. And when the residents finally moved on, Doyle said, the FBI searched the camp.
A number of those residents would later turn up at Baladullah, including Khadijah Ghafur and a man named Saleh Ghafur, who has been identified in a Fresno newspaper as Khadijah Ghafur's husband.
James A. Jennings - Abdullah Baqi's other name - also turned up at Baladullah, according to tax documents citing that as his address in 1998.
Khadijah Ghafur has said she founded Baladullah as a refuge for inner-city families, particularly women and children. But at least two men from other communities of Gilani followers have come to Baladullah in recent years. James Hobson was living at a South Carolina settlement, when he and five others were charged with illegally selling firearms to New York investigators in 1999. Hobson fled but authorities tracked him to Baladullah. They arrested him last March at the Gateway Academy charter school in Fresno, which is operated by the non-profit organization that owns Baladullah.
Then came the shooting death of a Fresno County deputy sheriff during a burglary at a cabin near Baladullah last August. Authorities have charged a young man who came to Baladullah from New York a few months earlier.
The father of shooting suspect Ramadan Abdullah said his son was showing signs of mental illness last year. Mahdi Abdullah said his son had attended youth retreats organized by a community of Gilani followers outside Binghamton, N.Y. Then, his son dropped from sight. When the family next heard from him, Ramadan Abdullah was calling home from Fresno, where he said he was getting help in the form of "Koranic psychotherapy." The next thing they heard, Mahdi Abdullah said, was the news of their son's arrest.
