A Secretive Muslim Community, Established By A Pakistani Cleric With Ties To Islamic Terrorist Organizations, Has Been Tucked Away In South Carolina For Forty Years

In the wake of President Trump’s B-2 Bomber “Operation Midnight Hammer”, a surprise strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, concerns have surged nationwide about possibility of retaliation on American soil. With tensions still unsettled in the Middle East, chatter has turned toward the risk of sleeper cells hiding in plain sight, particularly after the Biden administration allowed tens of millions of undocumented people to enter the country. Over the past week, we have received several emails from readers asking a very pointed question: “Are you aware of a place called ‘Islamville’ in South Carolina?” As it turns out, we were, and have been for about a decade. With everything going on, it’s worth revisiting the story behind this private, secluded, religious community nestled deep in the South Carolina upstate.

“They keep to themselves, polite but quiet. You’d never know they were there unless you drove past the gate, or hear ‘pop-pop’ from some guns over that way. But you always know it’s them when you seem them by the way they dress” - Reader “Matthew” of York, SC

“Holy Islamville”, founded by members of a group called Muslims of America, has long flown under the radar of most South Carolina. But for those living in and around York County, its presence has sparked both curiosity and concern. The enclave operates as a self-contained religious community based on strict Islamic teachings, and has been linked to an infamous Pakistani cleric. While the residents themselves have been described by Winthrop University students as peaceful and reclusive, questions periodically surface about what exactly goes on beyond the community’s gates.

Not too far from Rock Hill, but closer to York. About 8-10 miles northeast of York, as I remember from doing a quick map recon. Look up Holy Islamville, SC. Found it on Bing maps.
