Sheikh Gilani, himself, claims to have between 10,000 and 15,000 followers in America with a presence in 22 states.
One of those compounds was called Trout Creek Pass and was located near Buena Vista, Colorado. In 1989, Colorado police raided a storage locker rented by the disciples of Sheikh Gilani's. What they found was shocking. Here is a partial list of the items:
Ten handguns and silencers
40 pounds of explosives
Target-practice silhouettes pierced with bullet holes
3 large pipe bombs, fused and ready to explode
A manual on "Guerilla Warfare"
AK 47s
6,000 rounds of ammo
Bomb-making instructions
Blank birth certificates and Social Security cards
Perhaps most alarming, Colorado law enforcement officials also found "Targeting Packets," which were described as assassination papers on selected individuals. One of those targeted individuals was a rival Muslim cleric in Tucson, Arizona, named Rashad Khalifa.
Days after discovering the four-page plan to murder the cleric, Khalifa was lying in a pool of blood, dead after being stabbed 17 times. The assassination was a "carbon copy" of the handwritten plan found in the Colorado storage locker.
Two individuals would later be convicted in his murder, James D. Williams and Nicholas Edward Flinton.
Both were arrested years after the crime, in 1996. Williams was arrested in Lynchburg, Va. Flinton was arrested in South Carolina after hiding out for five years in a al-Fuqra camp in Meherrin, VA. The Meherrin terrorist compound sits just 35 miles from the al-Fuqra camp in Red House, VA.
Al-Fuqra members recruited by Sheikh Gilani are trained in the nearly two-dozen terrorist compounds in America. Those who are selected to live on the compounds agree to "abide by the law and discipline of Jamaat al-Fuqra."
Recruits also agree to sign an oath stating: "I shall always hear and obey, and whenever given the command, I shall readily fight for Allah's sake."
The most loyal and faithful followers are then sent to Pakistan to more extensive training in guerilla warfare. At a 2001 bond hearing for a Red House convict named Vicente Rafael Pierre, ATF Special Agent Thomas Gallagher told the court: "Individuals from the organization are trained in Hancock, N.Y., and if they pass the training in Hancock they are then sent to Pakistan for training in paramilitary and survivalist training by Mr. Gilani...We have information from an informant that one individual from Red House did further his training by going to Afghanistan."
In a 2006 "Threat Assessment" report conducted by Canadian officials, the scope of recruitment by Sheikh Gilani is chilling:
"The Fuqra believe criminally oriented converts are ideal recruits as they are susceptible to rejecting Western values and adopting militant interpretations of Islam. With this philosophy in mind, the Fuqra targets Afro-American converts with criminal backgrounds for recruitment."
The current danger of Sheikh Gilani and his al-Fuqra camps have not gone unnoticed by American law enforcement officials either. In a 2005 Department of Homeland Security report called the "Integrated Planning Guidance Report," Homeland Security warned, "Other predicted possible sponsors of attacks include Jamaat al-Fuqra, a Pakistani-based group that has been linked to Muslims of America."
In Charlotte County a Red House terrorist camp boldly boasts in a large, green entrance sign that it is a part of "Muslims of America." The very same organization the Department of Homeland Security has "predicted" will sponsor a terrorist attack upon America.
This is not only an embarrassment to the citizens of Charlotte County it is a disgrace to the entire country and an insult to the victims of 9/11 and those fighting overseas in the war against terrorism.
