There is a compound way up in the Catskills
A really happy, friendly kind of place
The women all wear burqas on their bodies
And hide their face
The members are recruited from our prisons
Look at this picture, is there something wrong
Each day they are preparing for their jihad
It won't be long
Islamberg...Islamberg...they have plans to make you dead
It's called Islamberg...Islamberg...they shout "Off with your head"
When you hear of this place perhaps you wonder
Where is the FBI or local police
That attitude is bad...by right wingers you're had
Because as a religion we know Muslims just want peace
Islamberg...Islamberg...they have plans to make you dead
It's called Islamberg...Islamberg...they shout "Off with your head"
They have a sentry who protects the compound
The neighbors often hear the bullets fly
So listen, please, to me...it's not hyperbole
If Islamberg has it's way, my friends, you'll convert or die

Yikes! That said, I think I will clean up all traces of that site LOL
FROM THE WEBSITE —
A BEAUTIFUL MUSLIM VILLAGE
Over twenty years ago the village of Islamberg was established. Islamberg’s in the catskills mountains upstate New York. Hundreds of muslims live there. There are over forty homes in the valley, where numerous streams gush forth.
Only in America!
A covert visit to an encampment in the Catskill Mountains near Hancock, N.Y., called “Islamberg” found neighboring residents deeply concerned about military-style training taking place there but frustrated by the lack of attention from federal authorities, said the report by the Northeast Intelligence Network, which worked with a blogger, “The Politics of CP,” to publish an interim report. He also provides a Virtual Earth Image here.
The neighbors interviewed said they feared retaliation if they were to make a report to law enforcement officials. “These people need to be investigated,” a resident said. “They are training for war, either for war here in this country or against our troops. Who in the h-— is allowing this stuff to happen right here in our own backyard, and why?”
[...]
“We don’t even dare to slow down when we drive by,” the resident said. “They own this mountain and they know it, and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can’t even do that. Who wants to buy property next to that?”
Jamaat ul-Fuqra, or “community of the impoverished,” was formed by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in New York in 1980. Gilani, who refers to himself as “the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr,” has stated his objective is to “purify” Islam through violence.
Gilani also is the founder of a village in South Carolina called “Holy Islamville.”
The encampment in Hancock, N.Y., is run by a front for Jamaat ul-Fuqra called Muslims of the Americas Inc., which operates a school known as the International Quranic Open University Inc.
[...]
The facility is on 70 acres of remote land on the western edge of the Catskill Mountains, about 40 miles southeast of Binghamton, N.Y. A sign at the entrance identifies the place as “Islamberg.” The other side of the sign says “International Quranic Open University” and “Muslims of the Americas Inc.”
Every one of the neighboring residents interviewed expressed disappointment and additional concern that federal law enforcement is not investigating the activities, the report said.
“These people need to be investigated,” a resident said. “They are training for war, either for war here in this country or against our troops. Who in the h-— is allowing this stuff to happen right here in our own backyard, and why?”
Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in the U.S.
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 Qur’an.
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. That will surely come as a big surprise to my liberal readers, who seem to be under the impression that the U.S law is paramount to the Muslims in the U.S.
According to the report, there appear to be more than two dozen “Jamaats,” or private communities, loosely connected and scattered throughout the U.S. with an estimated 5,000 members.
The report says Jamaat ul-Fuqra members have “purchased isolated rural properties in North America to live as a community, practice their faith, and insulate themselves from Western culture. The group has established rural encampments that U.S. authorities allege are linked to murder, bombings and other felonies throughout North America.”
U.S. authorities have probed the group for charges ranging from links to al-Qaida to laundering and funneling money into Pakistan for terrorist activities. The organization supports various terrorist groups operating in Pakistan and Kashmir, and Gilani himself is linked directly to Hamas and Hezbollah. Throughout the 1980s, JF was responsible for a number of terrorist acts across the United States, including numerous fire-bombings.
Gilani was at one time in Pakistani custody for the abduction of American journalist Daniel Pearl. Intelligence sources have determined Pearl was attempting to meet with Gilani in the days before he disappeared in Karachi. Intelligence sources also suggest a link between Jamaat ul Fuqra and Richard Reid, the infamous “shoe bomber” who attempted to ignite explosives aboard a Paris-to-Miami passenger flight Dec. 22, 2001.
[...]
Douglas J. Hagmann, director of the Northeast Intelligence Network and multi-state licensed private investigator, and others conducted their covert field investigation Feb. 8 and 9 at the Hancock encampment connected to the terrorist group.
Primary access to the compound is an unmarked road – labeled on county and state maps as “Moslem Road”
Two structures with capacities of up to 100 each appear to be used for religious training, education and meeting purposes, according to local sources. Investigators found a weapons firing range that is not visible from the road or any other publicly accessible vantage position. It appeared to have been recently used.
Near the eastern perimeter of the property – on a hillside – appears to be a military-style training area, including ropes hung from tree limbs, an obstacle course, wooden fences for scaling and other items and structures one would expect to find in a “boot-camp” setting. The area also appeared to have been used recently.
The report noted the property is near the Cannonsville Reservoir and Watershed Area, one of several water supply sources servicing New York City and adjacent areas. Well that’s really comforting to know. Glass of water anyone?

I heard Paul Williams on Laura Ingraham this morning. It is amazing that all these felons cannot be busted by the authorities.
At Cousins, a watering hole in nearby Deposit, a barfly, who didn't wish to be identified, said: "The place is dangerous. You can hear gunfire up there. I can't understand why the FBI won't shut it down."
Yeah, trailers, sewage, etc. No gushing anything. See the other post. This is scary.
Health authorities ought to be able to go in there and cite the entire place. If it is not corrected, they shut it all down.
LOL!
They're training jihadists in Islamberg!
The locals say that some work as tollbooth operators for the New York State Thruway, while others are employed at a credit card processing center that maintains confidential financial records.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, when are they going to raid the accounts for millions of dollars for their nefarious purposes?
Five years ago the NY POST did an article on this compound. What is the FBI doing?
EXCELLENT ARTICLE — http://politicsofcp.blogspot.com/2005/10/fuqra-headquarters-hancock-ny.html

And isn’t THAT scary!
I hope they do but I won’t hold my breath.
Laura Ingram was talking with Paul Williams on here show today, talking about Islamberg. Very eye-opening.
If it comes down to a nut-cuttin’, I’ll take the locals with their scoped deer rifles over the AK-47 trained prison converts to radical Islam.
