Muslims of the Americas: In Their Own Words
Muslims of the Americas (MOA) is a virulently anti-Semitic, Islamic extremist group with ties to Al-Fuqra, a terrorist organization that has carried out firebombings and murders in the United States. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto and maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia and California. The group's Web site and e-mails have featured writings by notorious anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers, including Michael Hoffman and former Klansman David Duke.
MOA was founded and is led by the radical Pakistani cleric El Sheikh Sayyid Mubarik Ali Jilani (commonly known as Sheikh Jilani or Sheikh Gilani). Based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jilani established MOA in 1980, after arriving in the United States for the first time. In the 1980s, Jilani, who claims to be a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, actively recruited American Muslims to fight against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. MOA claims to have offices in six U.S. cities and Toronto, and it maintains secluded residential communities in New York, Virginia, California, and possibly other states. The group also runs a Web site and an e-mail mailing list.
The available evidence strongly suggests that MOA has served as a corporate front for another group founded by Sheik Jilani, the terrorist organization Al-Fuqra, which has committed firebombings and murders on U.S. soil. Both Sheikh Jilani and MOA officials deny that Al-Fuqra even exists, and MOA claims to be a "peaceful" group. Though relatively few members of MOA have been arrested for criminal activity, two residents of the MOA community in Virginia were recently arrested for firearms violations, and a resident of the MOA community in California was recently arrested for the murder of a Sheriff's Deputy.

Why is there an Islamic Village in the foothills near Fresno?
Bump.
EXACTLY!! And how many more are not "on the map" yet, still flying under radar?
Black Muslims claim their founder to have been a prophet, and in fact, the final prophet; other Muslims, however, regard this as heresy, because the final and only prophet (of their blood-curdling and hideous religion) was "Muhammed," presumably, Muhammed #1.
Al-Fuqra has had considerable success in recruiting Black Muslims, and in fact, the majority of US members of the group are black Americans, and in many cases, are former Black Muslims.
Crimes against humanity?
Damn that!
Toture him, find out all we can, then shoot him and dump the body in a New York City graveyard.
There's a problem here: Would you want to be buried next to him?
(me neither...)
From article-A Pakistan government official said U.S. documents presented in support of extradition said the militant Islamic group Gilani founded, Tanzeem ul Fuqra, operates the Quranic Open University in Los Angeles, which has branches in New York City and Philadelphia.
The documents cited reports claiming that Tanzeem ul Fuqra has training compounds in New York, Michigan, South Carolina, California and perhaps other states.
South Carolina's homeland- security director, Steve Siegfried, said Saturday night that he has no knowledge of any such terrorist training camp in South Carolina.
I am SO GLAD they captured this so called cleric of Islam.
Sick to learn that there may be training camps for such evil here in our country. Wonder if this is true. If so.....something needs to be done.
And if this guy is running Universitys here in or nation, I truly believe we need to investigate the students presently attending such intstitutions.
And I hope they DO send this creep to America for some first rate interrogation.
Thanks, SJackson. What I had read - somewhere - was that Farrakhan had been "recruited" or "converted," depending on your point of view, to al Fuqra.
