also, Baladullah is operating a charter school, several actually all over California, and have received over $1 million of taxpayer money to operate, and are due to get well over $5 million next year....just thought you would like to know......

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.

PING

[bwteim]

There is a reference to 'alleged' shooting in Fresno Bee. See Muslims ask for a fair look

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.

[StriperSniper]

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

[CaliforniaDreamer]

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

[dighton]

Pass that along to NAS Lemoore, which is minutes away by F/A-18.

Well, it's difficult to use the word "we" to describe the US.

Remember, there's Red Nation America and Blue Nation America. Blue Nation is -- for all practical purposes -- an occupying force, a contemporary variation of the Vichy regime, which imposes its policies on Red Nation America.

Red Nation America is not suicidal. Red Nation America is not stupid. Red Nation America would never allow terrorist camps to be set up within its borders.

But Blue Nation America ALLOWS this kind of stuff because Blue Nation America is, in a very real way, AT WAR with Red Nation America. And it's a war in which Red Nation America CAN NOT FIGHT BACK because WE -- Red Nation America -- have great passion and love for America and we know that if we fight Blue Nation America, then it would amount to a civil war. (Blue Nation America doesn't care about such an issue because Blue Nation America hates America and all the values Red Nation loves.) So, the kind of horrible status quo just continues. Blue Nation America -- like cancer -- continues to dissolve away the body of America over-all. Red Nation America does what it can to live honorable and peacefully. But sooner or later SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE.

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.
