Terror Camps In The U.S. Exposed

Jamat al Tabligh

The Jamat al Tabligh, a Pakistani-based Islamic Missionary organization, is being used as a cover to mask travel and activities of terrorists including members of al Qaida.”

On May 27, 2005 an American intelligence analyst wrote a memo summarizing the factors for and against the continued detention of Saad Masir Mukbl Al Azani. In this memo the intelligence analyst identified Al Azani as a “Tablique” and described Tabligh “becoming increaasingly radicalized”, writing:

“Jama’at Al Tablighi, a Pakistan-based Islamic missionary organization, is becoming increasingly radicalized, and is being used as a cover to mask travel and activities of terrorists including members of al Qaida.”
The November 2005 transcript of Mohammad Bawazir’s Administrative Review Board hearing said:

“The detainee was recruited by Jamaat Tablighi, a group that recruits young men for Jihad in Afghanistan. Many of these young men are poor and on drugs. The detainee attended meeting [sic] sponsored by Jamaat Tablighi for two months.”
The New York Times reported that a brief stay at a Tablighi Jamaat hostel lead to the decision to capture Guantanamo Bay detainee Murat Kurnaz.

The Jamaat Tabligh themselves condemn terrorism and are strictly non-political. Their focus is on the spiritual enlightenment of the soul and adheres to the Islamic creed and rituals.

The movement is reported to have been a common link among several suspects arrested in England on August 9, 2006, over an alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners. The men were said to have attended religious study meetings and weekend camps run by Tabligh.

The Tablighi Jamaat

The Tablighi Jamaat, (aka Tabligh-i-Jamaat, Tableeghi
~maat, Tabligh Movement, Jama’at Al-Tabligh, Jamaati Tabligh,
-Al-Dawa Al-Tabligh, Tabligh Eddawa Ellallah, and United Da’wa)
-was a self -proclaimed nonviolent missionary organization, with
its headquarters in Pakistan. However, contrary to its nonviolent
self-proclamations, it has been associated with a number
of known terrorist organizations to” include Usama Bin Laden’s
network iri Afghanistan/the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) in Algeria,
the Filipino Moro National Liberation Front (FMNL) and the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the Philippines,··the” Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt, Jamaat Al-Muslimeen in Trinidad, and the
HarakatUl-Ansar (HUA) in Kashmir.

~NF) The TablighiJamaat’s stated goals are to
Islamize soc1ety by gaining new converts and by drawing lapsed Muslims back to what the group believes are true Islamic
standards of behavior.
The group’s doctrine draws heavily from
**Saudi Wahhabism, which follows a rigid interpretation of seventh
century Islam/ calls for a rigorous and literal application of
sharia and Koranic penalties for infractions/ and espouses a
complete break with Western society, its values, and’
modernization.**

According’to FBI information/ the Tablighi
Jamaat was responsible for recruiting Islamic fundamentalists for
military ,training and fighting under the guise of Islamic
missionary work.
According to source reports/ recruits went to
Pakistan where th~y were linked up with unknown people who could
provide false documents ,for travel into Afghanistan/ Kashmir and
the Jammu regions. Training was believed to be conducted in
concurrence with the ruling Taliban forces of Afghanistan and
instructors provided by supporters of BINLADEN. Indoctrination
normally lasted thirty to forty-five days. The person was then
either returned horne or sent elsewhere to fight.

~ While this training appeared on the surface to be
only for religiouspurposes/’ FBI investigations have revealed
that some **U.S. chapters** of the Tablighi Jamaat appeared to be
recruiting Islamic fundamentalists for military training and
fighting Ulider the guise of Islamic missionary work. Other U.S.
agencies have reported that Islamic extremists occasionally used
the Tablighi Jamaat I s mission status to acquire relevant
documents such as passports/ visas, and residential permits, as
well as for travel cover.
