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

I have been told this group is linked to the one that donated to Hillary! that she "accidently" referred to as Museum America or something along those lines. I am sure some freeper out there remembers exactly what the fake name was.

I am just astonished this group is allowed to have these little "villages" in this country seemingly with no interference from the authorities.

That was then; this is now. I'm hoping Dubya will actually DO something about it.

These groups have had 8 years to flourish under clinton, for one thing. While these terrorist diaper-heads came across the borders unchecked, clinton was busy directing all the FBI & ATF investigations toward people like Richard Jewell, "Lone Bomber" McVeigh, Eric Rudolph (sp?), and the guy at Ruby Ridge whose gun barrel was a few centimeters too short.

If Bush doesn't clean this up and do something about our immigration laws, I won't vote for him again. And neither will a few hundred thousand other conservatives. I just hope he realizes that.

The head of the "charter school" here drives a mighty fine Mercedes I understand.

[MistyCA]

I remember that incident but don't remember the name other than Muslim was changed to Museum. Is that this same group?

Clovis_Skeptic is a brand new Freeper too! Yes, the dreaded Newbie! :)

We can't let this die, keep bumping it up and locating other villages.
There is a link on thread one that has other locations across the country that have these little "villages". I forgot who posted it, but I did go to it and it lists several other areas.

What you said is exactly what I am hoping for, and in fact think is what may be happening. However, they have known about the terrorists being in this country for years and yet 911 happened anyway.
President Bush, whom I support totally, told us to be vigilant, and didn't he remark that we are all soldiers in this army or something? I don't mean that in the sense that we should attempt to do anything ourselves, of course not, but we must be aware, and make as many others aware as possible.
Sept 11th must never happen again!

We need our Freepers in Cali to ferret out the schools/terrorist training camps in Oakland, Sunnyvale, Pamona, and ?!

The Islamic Finder may be useful in this regard. Just type in a zip code.

The Fresno Bee is a liberal rag as you have guessed. The writer of the article you are referring to responded to an email from my husband that would just make you barf. He and Clovis_Skeptic are out at the Infinate Freep for the troops right now, but when he returns, I will have him post her response.
I am aware that you will not be around for a few days, so will have him flag it to you so you can read it after all of your fun this weekend. Happy Veterans day, and many thanks for your contributions to this most important thread.

From the law.com website. Is this what you were referring to?

CHANGES IN IMMIGRATION LAW

Here are some of the changes:

Bars to Re-Entry. A person who is in the US in unauthorized status for 12 or more consecutive months beginning April 1, 1997 and who leaves the US will be barred from admission to the US for 10 years. People who were here in unauthorized status for 6 consecutive months and then leave can be barred from admission for 3 years.

INA Section 245i, Adjustment of Status in the US. The law which allowed people to apply for a green card in the US (adjustment of status) even if they overstayed, worked without permission, or entered without inspection, has ended except for some savings clauses which will permit those who had Immigration petitions or Labor Certificate applications filed by January 14, 1998 to continue to adjust status (apply for a green card) in the US under Section 245i. Others who are out-of-status will have to apply for the green card outside the US and if they have been in the US in unauthorized status for more than 6 months, they can be barred from re-rentry for 3 years. (10 years if in unauthorized status for over 1 year). There are exceptions to every rule including this one. For example, it does not apply to immediate relatives of US citizens who entered with inspection and to some others.

With Section 245i no longer in effect, an unauthorized person cannot apply for a Diversity Lottery visa in the US. If they go back home to apply, they are subject to the 3 year and 10 year bars to re-entry. It seems that the Lottery is no longer a possibility for those in the US in unauthorized status for over 6 months.

I think (but not sure) it was discussed in the JIHAD IN AMERICA video. There are links to that video from many posts on FR.

I do hope President Bush does something about this also, and I think he will. He seems totally focused on rooting out the evil ones as he calls them.

I do wonder though, if this isn't a real touchy situation since as the articles you posted show a link to Pakistan and Fuqra?

[ladyinred]

Thank you Ben. We need to get this information out, and as the news station said last night, they were just astonished at the number of hits to their web site and the streaming video, FreeRepublic is just the place to do it!
Of course they didn't mention us, just were so surprised at the unprecedented amount of traffic they were getting! They had no idea they were being "freeped."

[ladyinred]

I was told today it is. Clovis_Skeptic has more information so when he gets back from freeping maybe he will post it.

As promised here is the email response from the writer from the Fresno Bee in response to a note my husband sent her expressing concern about some of the quotes in the Quran:

Thanks for that. Could you share with me your knowledge and experience with Islam? Have you prayed in a Mosque, visited a Mosque, do you have Muslim friends, have you traveled in Muslim countries and have you read the Quran in its totality, have you read it in Arabic and have you studied the times in which it was written?
I think the Bible could be taken out of context (and has) in an equally horrendous fashion. Erin Kennedy

I think her response speaks for itself.

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....

Things like this should give conservatives (like myself) pause over the wisdom of having charter schools and voucher programs... We could have thousands of such schools all over the country funded by your tax dollars if we had a voucher system.

There's a distinct behavioural difference between Christian fundamentalists/evangelicals and Islamic fundamentalists....

Thanks for the Muslim Brotherhood homepage link!

Naive Reporterette Erin Kennedy wouldn't believe the truth until she was sold as a concubine to some bearded old arab "devout moslem" and beaten every day by his four "official" wives.

Thanks for the tip! I will delve into it further!
