Why is there an Islamic Village in the foothills near Fresno?

.Why is there an Islamic Village in the foothills near Fresno? There's an airstrip and neighbors complain of gunfire. Kevin Quinn takes you inside Baladullah, California.

Sorry, no transcript as of now. Video only. Worth the effort to view.

The video provides a look at this compound in the foothills above Fresno, CA. Pre 9-11, a Fresn County Sheriffs deputy was killed by a member of this peaceful Islamic community. The suspect (in the beginning trial phase still) broke into a empty nearby foothill home, when deputies arrived this guy was lying in the hallway floor with a rifle, and killed one deputy. This video is the first investigative reporting we have had on this Islamic community. The trail leads to FUQRA, a known terrorist group operating all over the world, and have several communities such as this one all over the USA.

Here is an excerpt from an article of the Sacramento Bee...

California links of terrorists probed:
Federal and state investigators try to unearth 'sleeper' agents.
By Sam Stanton and Andy Furillo
Bee Staff Writers

(Published Sept. 30, 2001)

The compound Beyond seeking out ties to bin Laden-linked terrorist networks, officials are keeping tabs on another Islamic group near Fresno because of the recent killing of a sheriff's deputy in an area home, apparently stemming from a botched burglary.(this was no burglary according to all accounts)

There is no evidence that the Fresno group has been involved in any terrorist activities, officials say.

The group, according to a federal source, is part of Fuqra, an organization whose name means "poverty" in Arabic and which has had compounds in several U.S. areas.

Some Fuqra members in other areas have been implicated in past years in domestic terrorist attacks, and the State Department has labeled the group, known formally as Jamaat ul-Fuqra, as "an Islamic sect that seeks to purify Islam through violence."

The group south of Fresno operates an 1,800-acre compound called the International Quranic Open University, which sits on the former site of the drug addiction recovery cult Synanon.

The compound, a series of mobile homes shaded by trees, also serves as a U-Haul rentals location. A resident there last week refused to talk to a reporter, referring inquiries to a Visalia attorney who did not respond to a message seeking information.

Authorities have been studying the compound since the Aug. 21 slaying of Fresno County Sheriff's Deputy Erik Telen. Officials charged 20-year-old Ramadan Abdur-Rauf Abdullah with murder in the killing, apparently stemming from a botched burglary at a rural home.

James Oppliger, Fresno County's chief deputy district attorney, said the suspect claimed he had been living at the compound seeking psychiatric treatment from the Quranic university.

Oppliger said he since has begun studying the group and its possible connections to other organizations.

(Zavia Books) is the bookstore for this Islamic compound. It is called Koranic Open University. Note the books being sold. One of them is prefaced by ( Sheik Mubarik Ali Shah Jilani [Gilani]) a known terrorist. The trail leads from Baladullah (actually Miramonte, CA) to Pakistan, where Sheik Gilani lives. He is the head of Fuqra.

We (the US) can be pretty stupid when we want to be.

And obviously damn proud of it -- we voted KKKlintoon in not once but TWICE! Hamas himself!

I'm with you, Nita. I absolutely will not vote for him either - unless he cleans up BJ's messes and FAST! I plan to lay low till around the first of the year. After that, all bets off.

I'm just saying we need to give him a little more time. I imagine DC is in a much worse state than we could ever imagine, coming after the reign of BJ and Queen Hitlery. Actually, I think if we knew HALF of what they've done, we'd be screaming for a lynching party.

Can you say..."Some one set us up the jihad"?

I think the American public is really being screwed by the media on this one. This should be in every headline in every paper across the country, not to mention splashed on every television screen so that at least we all have some heads up if the you know what hits the fan.

You know, Joe, most folks are absolutely frozen stiff by the possibilities of being called racists.

You bet. It seems all these years of this racism hysteria bull sh*t is tailor made for this massive legal and illegal immigration "free for all" that has been occurring.

I dare not say the word conspiracy. However, I am confident that this massive invasion of people in the last 15 to 25 years is no mistake or accident. The United States is being brought down to the level of the third world. This seems very clear.

Sept 11th must never happen again!

Amen and amen!!! Problem being, the sheeple are busy watching sitcoms. IMHO, they're in DENIAL and I suspect it's going to take at least one more incident to stir their slumber. That scares me the most. Absolutely terrifies me.

Our national news media lost sight of its Constitutionally guaranteed purpose a long time ago. Their silence on this one proves it.

"How about JIHAD IN AMERICA ?"

I like that one and it's also the name of this documentary.

This 1995 documentary includes previously unknown videos of the clandestine activities of
radical Islamic terrorist groups operating in the United States since the 80's,
and featured interviews with moderate Muslims and federal counter-terrorism officials
speaking for the first time about the magnitude of the threat posed by militant Muslim groups on U.S. soil.

This is a must see documentary that is 1 hour long but plays thru streaming video on RealPlayer
so you don't have to wait for it to load on your computer.

Ok, set that one up also. We'll let Grampa Dave take his choice. Can't imagine there will be that many articles (I hope not anyway )
