***They same could be said about Japanese people doing the same things during WWII. Why in the hell would we ever tolerate our enemy during time of war training on our own soil?!***

We know these particular people are our enemy, how?

BTW, I'm a tad confused about your Japanese reference. Are you saying-suggesting all Muslims should be rounded up and put in camps?

It was heavy-handed and unconstitutional as hell but no one argues that encamping the Japanese population prevented attacks and chaos on the homefront. Should we perpetuate this now? Not in the unconstitutional sense, no. Should we keep a VERY close eye on every mosque and possible connection to our enemy? Absolutely. I'm not for encampment, but I'm all for deportation of those who would make war against us. Let them jump on the tip of our spear elsewhere rather than hit us in our soft underbelly.

Did you read the article?

The group seeks to counter "excessive Western influence on Islam" through any means necessary, publicly embracing the ideology that violence is a significant part of its quest to purify Islam. The enemies of Islam, the group says, are all non-Muslims and any Muslim who does not follow the tenets of fundamentalist Islam as detailed in the Quran.

Jamaat ul-Fuqra openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in compounds where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority.

An investigation of the group by the Colorado Attorney General's office in the early 1980s found several of the communities operate covert paramilitary training compounds, including one in a mountainous area near Buena Vista, Colo.

Members have been known to go to Pakistan for paramilitary training, but the investigation found evidence the U.S. encampments offer such training so members don't need to risk traveling abroad amid increased scrutiny following the 9-11 attacks.
