A U.S. defense analyst and author says Americans should be very concerned about some radical Muslim paramilitary compounds that have sprung up around the country and that are surrounded with "No Trespassing" signs.
Greg Copley, president of the International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA), says the compounds are often populated with former U.S. convicts who were converted to Islam in prison. These convicts, he contends, are connected to a Pakistani organization.
"Islamberg in New York, Ahmedabad in Virginia, and Holy Islamville in South Carolina, and so on are places which have been formed largely by Jamaat ul-Fuqra," Copley notes, "which is a fundamentalist jihadist movement, which has been involved in terrorist activity and supporting terrorist activity."
The U.S. government has been monitoring the organization's activities, the ISSA official says. "The U.S. government, for example, claimed that ul-Fuqra members were involved in more than a dozen bombings and arson attacks during the 1980s and 1990s," he points out, and that members were "possibly responsible for a couple dozen homicides, and possibly linked to the murder of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was killed in Pakistan."
Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which means "community of the impoverished," recruits converts from the U.S. prison system, the defense analyst says. "They're a very big international group," he asserts. "They do have connections to fundamentalist groups in Pakistan."
There is also evidence that ul-Fuqra may have been linked to shoe-bomber Richard Reid, Copley adds. He says he believes U.S. authorities should thoroughly investigate and keep a watch on the activities of these Muslim compounds that are located in America but connected to a Pakistani jihadist movement.

Can’t be true. George Bush himself declared mooseSlime to be a religion of peace. And if he said it, it must be true.
Michael Cherdumkoff doing anything about this? Nah. Didn’t think so.
I’ve been saying this all along. They’re here.
Hancock, NY 2007-05-15 - Situated within a dense forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York, Islamberg is not an ideal place for a summer vacation unless, of course, you are an exponent of the Jihad or a fan of Osama bin Laden.
The 70 acre complex is surrounded with "No trespassing" signs; the rocky terrain is infested with rattlesnakes; and the woods are home to black bears, coyotes, wolves, and a few bobcats
Venturing into the complex last summer, Douglas Hagmann, an intrepid investigator and director of the Northeast Intelligence Service, came upon a military training area at the eastern perimeter of the property. The area was equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, wooden fences for scaling, a make-shift obstacle course, and a firing range. Hagmann said that the range appeared to have been in regular use.
Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr," Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or "community of the impoverished," an organization that seeks to "purify" Islam through violence.
Over the years, numerous members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra have been convicted in US courts of such crimes as conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, and workers' compensation fraud. Others remain leading suspects in criminal cases throughout the country, including ten unsolved assassinations and seventeen fire-bombings between 1979 and 1990.

Aww what the hell. We are in the process of destroying America anyway why not just accelerate it!
Time to make the donuts! Where’s Janet Reno? She’ll fix em!
Well, not to worry. Now if they had the word “Christian” associated with them, oh hell yes, call out FBI SWAT!
“The area was equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, “
Heck, they knew we were coming.
Well, at least our government will protect us. I mean, look how well they’ve secured the border.
Upper NY. Blue skies. Green trees. Lakes. Muslim Terrorists.
Anyone living near one of these nests needs to do a little recce work with some nightvision gear and a camcorder.
I would start with the US prison population that is a hatchery for Muslim converts.
Personally I am not bothered too much, if any one of these nutcases is firmly connected to a terrorist action in the US it would be a massive big mistake for them.
These are men's retreats for those seeking a better path in life after years of wrong decisions and social disadvantages. They are not unlike the mens' retreats so helpful to the fellowships of many Evangelical Church organizations. The majority of the activities deal with spiritual awareness and self realization. The team building exercises have been mischaracterized by those who seek to incite violence on the American Muslim community- a community that has already suffered so much from wanton paranoia since the unfortunate events of 2001.
I went to the islamville website and as an aside I noticed a story about them completing a 12 mile hike and all the great things they do at their complex, yada, yada.
I checked another site that mentioned islamville was 6 miles west of the nuke plant outside of York, SC and that there was also a conclave near the Dover TN site.
Then a thought crossed my mind. If islamville is six miles west of the plant in York, a twelve mile hike would be six miles in and six miles out. Scary.
What type of Islamist “team building” needs target practice?
Don’t be silly.
They’re not Christians or pro-American.
“The 70 acre complex is surrounded with “No trespassing” signs; the rocky terrain is infested with rattlesnakes; and the woods are home to black bears, coyotes, wolves, and a few bobcats”
Ooooh! That’s scary, better stay away from there. The author obviously doesn’t leave the city much.
“Now if they had the word “Christian” associated with them, oh hell yes, call out FBI SWAT!”
Damn if it doesn’t seem that way. Where are all the Lon Horiuchi’s now?
