Jamaat ul-Fuqra was founded in 1980 in New York by a
Pakistani Sufi named Sheikh Mubarik Ali Hasmi Shah Gilani, along with a front organization called “The Muslims of America”. Most of its members are American citizens, converted to Islam and recruited via the prison system. The group has been associated with assassinations and firebombings in this country and Canada, and various members have been charged with and convicted of criminal offenses. It is thought that the group obtains its funds through welfare fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. JF has established numerous compounds, known as “Jamaats”, mostly in remote rural areas in the U.S.A. and Canada. Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been named as a terrorist organization by the State Department.

And this is all news to you, of course.
If you want a good laugh, you should really watch Gilani’s treatises on djinns. Not just funny haha, but funny peculiar.
Not that Gilani is all that much of a funny creature, as Daniel Pearl would attest to.
