Anything here? Any other threads of stories in the archives?

I was just up in Visalia a few weeks ago. It's a pretty area.

Hey, Islam is peaceful and does not seek to subjugate others...this is all propaganda. Foreign Muslims would never send money to Muslims in the USA to establish a foothold. There is no compulsion in Islam, remember?

[wjcsux]

Maybe it is a practice target for training air crews.

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

hmmm.

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

I have a better question. Why is the Navy using Vieques Island for bombinng practice when theres Baladullah?

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.

Synanon was spooky enough, and now this? Ugh, I'm too close in Visalia.

Sounds like a job for a BLU-82.
(Or 2 or 3)

And I am sure that our state government would never permit any of that money to be used for religious education.

Ammazing. I'm not a "fan" of Ruby Ridge/Waco BUT: the US officials surrounded Weaver and shot his wife because he sold 1/4'' short shotgun ---- here a Sheriff is murdered and these people are still given free range!!!! They (US) also had no trouble shooting Cooper --- here the known terrorist-tied Muslims get a free pass. This is absolutely ridiculous, "no-knock warrants" are OK for the rest of us poor saps, these people can apparently do anything. Did someone say we were in a WAR? Right.

Remeber that old "Twilight Zone" episode about this ordinary-looking American small town, everything seems normal, except that there is this mysterious yellow line on the outskirts that nobody can ever cross? At the end of the story, it turns out that this town is in the middle of the Soviet Union and is used for spy training purposes.

If something like this is what this compound is for, then I'm OK with that. But I doubt it.

I am skeptical about Fuqra's Pakistani leader.
My understanding is that it's a supersecret US based organization, probably out of Chicago, affiliated with Farakhan.
They are very bloody people, they kill moderate Muslim leaders, usually by knifing them in broad daylight.

Good find... this could develop in its significance. Ashcroft, FBI, ATF and Homeland Security must
be all over this by now. (We can hope).
