World Terrorism: News, History and Research Of A Changing World #4.

Tehran & Damascus Move to Lebanon Lebanon-born Walid Phares is a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Author of the recent book Future Jihad, he was also one of the architects of 2004’s United Nations resolution 1559, which called for the disarming of Hezbollah. NRO editor Kathryn Lopez recently talked to Phares about what’s going on in the Mideast, what happened to the Cedar Revolution, and this war we’re all in.

Kathryn Jean Lopez: What is “Future Jihad”? Are we seeing it in the Mideast now?

Walid Phares: “Future Jihad,” which has already begun, refers to a new and potent form of Islamic terrorism, characterized by a Khumeinist-Baathist axis. These are the two trees of jihadism, so to speak — the Salafism and Wahabism embodied in al Qaeda and the sort of jihadism led by Iran and also including Syria, Hezbollah, and their allies in Lebanon.

The alliance has not been in entire agreement as to strategy. The al Qaeda branch began its “Future Jihad” in the 1990s; its efforts culminated on 9/11 and have continued explosively since then. The international “Salafists” aimed at the U.S. in the past decade in order to strengthen their jihads on various battlefields (Chechnya, India, Sudan, Algeria, Indonesia, Palestine, etc.). “Weaken the resolve of America,” their ideologues said, “and the jihadists would overwhelm all the regional battlefields.”

As I argue in Future Jihad, bin Laden and his colleagues miscalculated on the timing of the massive attack against the U.S. in 2001. While they wounded America, they didn’t kill its will to fight (as was the case, for instance, in the Madrid 3/11 attacks). I have heard many jihadi cadres online, and have seen al Jazeera commentators on television, offering hints of criticism about the timing. They were blaming al Qaeda for shooting its imagined “silver bullet” before insuring a strategic follow up. But bin Laden and Zawahiri believe 9/11 served them well, and has put a global mobilization into motion. Perhaps it has, but the U.S. counter strategy in the Middle East, chaotic as the region currently appears, has unleashed counter jihadi forces. The jury is still out as to the time factor: when these forces will begin to weaken the jihadists depends on our perseverance and the public understanding of the whole conflict.

The other “tree” of jihadism, with its roots in Iran, withheld fire after 9/11. They were content to watch the Salafists fight it out with the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan and Iraq, not to mention within the West, as terror cells were hunted down. Ahmedinejad, Assad, and Nasrallah were analyzing how far the US would go, and how far the Sunnis and Salafis would go as well.

The fall of the Taliban and of the Baath in Iraq, however, changed Iran and Syria’s patient plans. The political changes in the neighborhood, regardless of their immediate instability, were strongly felt in Tehran and Damascus (but unfortunately not in the U.S., judging from the political debate here), and pushed the Khumeinists and the Syrian Baathists to enter the dance, but carefully. Assad opened his borders to the jihadists in an attempt to crumble the U.S. role in Iraq, while Iran articulated al Sadr’s ideology for Iraq’s Shiia majority.

A U.S.-led response came swiftly in 2004 with the voting of UNSCR 1559, smashing Syria’s role in Lebanon and forcing Assad to withdraw his troops by April 2005. In response, the “axis” prepared for a counter attack on the Lebanese battlefield by assassinating a number of the Cedar Revolution leaders, including MP Jebran Tueni. In short, the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah and the kidnappings of soldiers were the tip of an offensive aimed at drawing attention away from Iran’s nuclear weapons programs and Syria’s assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri. Hezbollah was awaiting its moment for revenge against the Cedar Revolution too.

What we see now is 1) a Syro-Iranian sponsored offensive aimed at all democracies in the region and fought in Lebanon; 2) Israel’s counter offensive (which it seems to have prepared earlier); and 3) an attempt by Hezbollah to take over or crumble the Lebanese government.

Phares: Actually, it would be more accurate to say that the Cedar Revolution was failed. The masses in Lebanon responded courageously in March 2005 by putting 1.5 million people on the streets of Beirut. They did it without “no-fly-zones,” expeditionary forces, or any weapons at all, for that matter, and against the power of three regimes, Iran, Syria, and pro-Syrian Lebanon, in addition to Hezbollah terror. The “revolution” was for a time astoundingly successful; since then it has been horribly failed, and first of all by Lebanon’s politicians themselves. One of their leaders, General Michel Aoun, shifted his allegiances to Syria and signed a document with Hezbollah. Other politicians from the “March 14 Movement” then stopped the demonstrations, leaving them with the support of God knows what. They failed in removing the pro-Syrian President Emile Lahoud and brought back a pro-Syrian politician to serve as a speaker of the house, Nabih Berri. Meanwhile, even as they were elected by the faithful Cedar Revolution masses, they engaged in a round table dialogue with Hezbollah, a clear trap set by Hassan Nasrallah: “Let’s talk about the future,” he said — with the implication, of course, that they forget about the Cedar Revolution and the militia’s disarming. While political leaders sat for months, enjoying the photo ops with Hassan Nasrallah, he was preparing his counter offensive, which he unleashed just a few days before the Security Council would discuss the future of Iran’s nuclear programs.

The Lebanese government of Prime Minister Seniora also abandoned the Cedar Revolution. His cabinet neither disarmed Hezbollah nor called on the U.N. to help in implementing UNSCR 1559. This omission is baffling. The government was given so much support by the international community and, more importantly, overwhelming popular support inside Lebanon: 80 percent of the people were hoping the Cedar Revolution-backed government would be the one to resume the liberation of the country. Now Hezbollah has an upper hand and the government is on the defensive.

The U.S. and its allies can be accused of certain shortcomings as well. While the speeches by the U.S. president, congressional leaders from both parties, Tony Blair, and Jacques Chirac were right on target regarding Lebanon, and while the U.S. and its counterparts on the Security Council were diligent in their follow up on the Hariri assassination and on implementing UNSCR 1559, there was no policy or plan to support the popular movement in Lebanon. Incredibly, while billions were spent on the war of ideas in the region, Lebanese NGOs that wanted to resume the struggle of the Cedar Revolution and fighting alone for this purpose were not taken seriously at various levels. Policy planners thought they were dealing with the “Cedar Revolution” when they were meeting Lebanon’s government and Lebanese politicians. The difference between the high level speeches on Lebanon and the laissez-faire approach from lower levels is amazing. Simply put, there was no policy on supporting the Cedar Revolution against the three regimes opposing it and the $400 million received by Hezbollah from Iran.

The Cedar Revolution was basically betrayed by its own politicians and is now essentially without a head. Nevertheless, as long as the international support remains, the Revolution will find its way and will face the dangers. The one and a half million ordinary citizens who braved all the dangers didn’t change their minds about Hezbollah’s terror. The resistance and counter-attack was to be expected. Unfortunately, thus far Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah have outmaneuvered the West and are at the throats of the Cedar Revolution. The international community must revise its plans, and, if it is strongly backed by the U.S. and its allies, including France, the situation can be salvaged. The good seeds are still inside the country.

Aliville: Another Islamist Village in Georgia
***Exclusive Investigative Report***

In December 2005, I posted information here about an Islamic settlement near Commerce, GA called Madinah Village that is linked to the Muslims of the Americas (MOA), the front organization for Jamaat ul-Fuqra. Additional research has led me to believe that there is another such village in the state, located in southeastern Georgia. For readers not familiar with MOA/Fuqra, they are reported to have at least two-dozen villages, or jamaats, around the country.

Last fall, following Hurricane Katrina, a pair of news stories appeared about a "charity" linked to the Muslims of the Americas called Hand to Hands Social Service Agency describing the contributions of several of its members from around the country to the relief efforts. [Hand-to-Hands is headquartered in Binghamton, NY; their website is handtohands.org]

One of the stories, from Spero News, mentions the names of a couple of women hailing from a place called "Aliville (Odem, GA)". After googling "Odem", I realized the town is actually spelled "Odum". It is not clear if the name of the town was misspelled intentionally. Nonetheless, after working through a number of search string combinations, I finally found what I believe to be Aliville. It lies 14 miles northeast of Odum just off Hwy 169 aka Lanes Bridge Rd in northern Wayne County.

Here's the most recent aerial I could find, courtesy of Yahoo! Maps Beta:

(click image to view in Yahoo! Maps Beta)

This is an aerial of the location taken in 1999 from USGS:

Once again, the MOA shows its knack for obscurity. This village is very rurally located. And, just as other MOA villages have given their roads Islamic-sounding names [Moslem Road in Hancock, NY; Islamville Way in York, SC; Mahareen Drive in Meherrin, VA; Sheikh Gilani Lane in Red House, VA], Aliville can be found on Mecca Circle. Several addresses are listed for Mecca Circle and additional residents are also listed on Oriole Road, which is the east-west road you see in the image.

Records from the Georgia Secretary of State's office indicate that at least one business is linked to the village. A company called Qasr Computing Solutions, Inc. maintains an address at Aliville.

The company's website [qasr-inc.com] says that they were formerly based in Jacksonville, FL and in fact, additional information I have discovered confirms that several Aliville residents had previously lived in Jacksonville. I am not currently aware of an MOA presence in Florida, but I consider it likely. However, I did also find additional information confirming that Aliville residents previously hailed from Dover, TN and Binghamton, NY, two locations with a known MOA presence.

As I said, the village is located in a very rural part of Georgia. It is not close to any metropolitan areas. So, as with the other villages, I looked to see what sort of strategic infrastructure there might be nearby. See, the MOA like to say that they live rurally to escape the temptations of worldly urban life. However, covert Fuqra operatives have exploited the fact that many of the MOA/Fuqra villages can be found near hard strategic targets [e.g., near power plants (including nuclear), military bases, reservoirs, etc.]. Considering Fuqra's shadowy connections to Pakistani intelligence, this fact is perhaps not coincidental.

As I panned outward on the map, I discoverd that Aliville is just about an hour's drive from Fort Stewart. Fort Stewart is the largest Army installation east of the Missisippi River. [Note: The Fuqra cell that was broken up in Colorado years ago was known to have conducted surveillance of several military facilities; the still-active compound at Dover, TN is just a few miles from Fort Campbell (map)].

In addition to Fort Stewart, Aliville is within a few hours drive of several significant military facilities that dot South Georgia.
(click image to enlarge)

I do not currently know what law enforcement authorities know about this location, if anything. I do know that it has not been written about in any of the materials re: MOA/Fuqra that I've seen. I will point out that it was not listed on the table of suspected compounds published by the National White Collar Crime Center in their report on Fuqra. The village at Meherrin, VA, which was exposed by Baron and myself, was not on that list either. It was one of Fuqra's more secretive villages and is known to have sheltered one of their most high-profile operatives while he was a wanted fugitive. Makes me wonder what might be going on in Georgia?

UPDATE: I failed to point out that the website for Qasr Computing Solutions is offline/inactive. However, you can see captures of the site at the Internet Archive.

Good work, CP. I've cross-posted this with a post of my own pointing to your report.

A note: the Qasr website is currently unavailable.

When did this happen? Were they spooked? If they took their site offline following your expose, then that only adds to the suspicions. They would appear to be hiding something... perhaps themselves?

CS,

Thanks for the link. That's interesting about the company website. I think it was offline before my report. But, the Internet Archive's captures of the site are available - here.

BTW, Holy Islamville's website in SC just recently went offline.

CP, go see the post I just did on a similar Jamaat organization, Jamaat ul Dawa, operating out of Pakistan, which gives me the chills...

They were one of the terrorist organizations banned in Pakistan following 9/11 and are a mortal enemy of India.

They are pure fundamentalists, yet they claim to reject jihad and denounce terrorism as terrorism, but as I demonstrate, they're lying, just as has the Fuqra.

They're also linked to AQ:

"Senior al-Qa’ida lieutenant Abu Zubaydah was captured at an LT safe house in Faisalabad in March 2002, suggesting some members are facilitating the movement of al-Qa’ida members in Pakistan."

http://thecanadiansentinel.blogspot.com/2006/08/jamaat-ud-dawa-charity-front-or.html

Are you familiar with this group? Is the NEIN?
Mon Aug 07, 06:59:25 PM CDT
CP said...

CS,

I'd seen that anecdote about Abu Zabaydah before. From just a quick search and scan, it looks like Jamaat ud Dawa is the same as the LET, they just changed their name. That's what a lot of these groups do when they come under the heat.

FYI - Gilani's group is known primarily as Jamaat ul-Fuqra in the US but the Pakistani crew is often known as Tanzeem (or Tanzim) ul-Fuqra.

Secret Fuqra Compound in VA (updated)
Well, once again, we learn something from the vigilant Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna. By way of a sparse mention in a news story from 2002 and a couple of contacts, he has come across another Fuqra compound in rural Virginia. The group calls itself the "Muslims of the Americas", what research has identified as the front organization for Sheikh Gilani's covert operators known as al-Fuqra.

Baron has a couple of maps and some pictures of the road leading to the compound as well as the entrance, where apparently the sign that use to indicate its presence has been removed.
It is located off State Highway 633 near the town of Meherrin, VA and a community called Virso. The address is "Mahareen Drive". Based on Baron's map, here is an aerial view from MSN Virtual Earth.

Before you continue, read Baron's entire post.

After reading this, I knew I had to dig deeper because I think he is on to something with this one. Having researched Fuqra for several weeks now, this compound is not mentioned in anything else that I have seen up to now. This is one of the ones they don't talk about and there are likely others that they don't talk about. So, today, let's shine a light on this place.

A reverse address search of Mahareen Drive turns up three Muslim names. Ok, no surprise there.

Here is where things get a little more interesting. According to their website, the Farmville Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed a new member in its June 2002 newsletter - White Hawk Security Int'l. Inc. with the same address as the compound. Further searches revealed several other company locations in the area.

We know that members of the compound in Colorado and New York operated security companies. That status not only allows them to pursue contracts to make money, but to possibly gain access to facilities, and to provide easier access for weapons purchases. Of course, I have no knowledge of this company or any of its employees, I just find it really interesting and peculiarly circumstantial.

I was able to get some additional information on the company through a business database. The company does business as "Whsi Consulting". The line of business is "private security and consulting"; SIC Code is 7381 - "detective & armored car services" and their NAICS Code classification is 561612 - "security guards and patrol services". The database lists them as having 50 employees with annual sales of $20.0 million.

Now, to further connect the dots, since the company hq is located at the Meherrin compound, might there be some symbolism or connection to Islam in the use of "White Hawk" in the company name? The following should answer that question.

Here is an Islamic art work (known as a calligram) that depicts a "'white hawk' bringing a message to the mystic Abelqadar Jilali". Apparently, the name is misspelled or is a variation (of which there are several) of Abdel Qadir al-Jilani, a 12th-century Sufi leader. (There is a shrine to him in Baghdad.) There's more.

Here's the connection - a message called "The Flight of the White Hawk", translated by Sheikh Jilani himself, founder of al-Fuqra and Muslims of the Americas, who claims descendancy from the 12th-century predecessor.

UPDATE: Another detail that caught my eye in a homeland security report that Baron linked to from February 2002. This "peaceful" group is well-armed:

Owners of a gun shop in the area said members of the Muslim communities have bought several weapons over the past few years. They said their weapons of choice are high-priced, heavy-caliber handguns, which are purchased legally by members of the communities who possess valid Virginia driver's licenses. The owners said most of the purchases occurred before the September 11 attacks - including several men who purchased their legal limit of one handgun every 30 days. The gun-store owners also are aware of the group's devotion to Sheik Gilani as well as al-Fuqra. They sold weapons to Vicente Pierre, who was convicted in November of two felony firearms violations.

Question: If the shop owners know that these people are Islamic radicals with a history of violence, why are they selling them guns? I guess money still talks.

UPDATE: Regarding my last "question" there, I should correct my misconception. I found a transcript of a segment from NOW with Bill Moyers called "Gun Land". In it they feature the Virginia gun store owner I mentioned above. Turns out he did cooperate with the ATF by installing a hidden camera in his store which allowed the investigation to go forward.

I think if they refused to sell to someone with a valid ID who passed instant check, for reason of ethnicity or religion, even if that is what we would consider a radical association, they would have reason to fear a lawsuit. Indeed, the ACLU might come to favor the 2nd Amendment!

>>> Welcome to the first edition of the Saturday Featured Story (SFS)! Every Saturday--if I can get my act together--I hope to provide an in-depth and comprehensive look at a given subject of my choosing. In conjunction with the Monday-Friday news format and my new Sunday feature, I hope to make WWIV Daily a more informative and more exciting place for all my readers (you people). Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by! <<<

The blog that you are currently reading began as a daily e-mail exchange with a close friend of mine who shared my interest in military and counterterrorism issues, as well as the occasional random humor piece. After a week or so of sending interesting links back and forth, I realized that I might as well turn it into one of these new-fangled 'weblogs'. At the time, I already had a little bit of blogging experience under my belt: Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, I created a blog called 'The Idiot Spotlight'. I lit up a couple of especially-deserving people, but the blog was quickly overloaded by the sheer number of idiots in our native galaxy and I disbanded it after a week or so. (However, the ghost of The Idiot Spotlight lives on, and will be returning to haunt this very site starting tomorrow and continuing each Sunday after that.)

I first posted on October 1st, 2005. I spent the first week exploring other blogs, linking to many interesting stories, and generally becoming a smarter human being. I found The Belmont Club and I ate it up. Security Watchtower and Bill Roggio's The Fourth Rail--which has returned!--were quickly bookmarked. On October 10th, ten days after my first post, I stumbled across a blog called Gates of Vienna--I don't quite remember how, but we'll chalk it up to fate--and discovered this post concerning what appeared to be a militant Islamic group operating right here in the United States known as Jamaat ul-Fuqra. Suddenly I was all over this story. Family, friends, and acquaintances were quickly informed as I made every effort to 'get the word out', something the new blog and all two of my readers--thanks Mom and Dad--became useful for. Before we move on, for those of you that are unfamiliar with Jamaat ul-Fuqra--and are too lazy to follow the links--here's some background:

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, whose report on Jamaat ul-Fuqra (JF) can be viewed here, JF is a terrorist organization based in Pakistan and North America. Founded in New York State 1980 by the Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, it's name is literally translated as 'community of the impoverished' and it's goal--as stated by Sheikh Gilani himself--is to 'purify' Islam through violence. Hiding behind a labyrinth of front organizations and charity organizations, JF leads a comfortable existence in some surprising places. According to the SATP:

"Although Gilani, the reclusive chief of Fuqra resides in Lahore, Pakistan, most JF cells are located in North America. Fuqra members have purchased isolated rural properties in North America to live as a community, practice their faith, and insulate themselves from Western culture. The group has set up and funded rural communes that the US authorities allege are linked to murder, bombings and other felonies throughout the US and Canada. Currently, there are half a dozen Fuqra residential compounds in rural hamlets across the US sheltering hundreds of cadres, some of who have reportedly trained in the use of weapons and explosives in Pakistan.

Muslims of the Americas, a tax-exempt group established in the US in 1980 by Gilani, operates communes of primarily black, American-born Muslims in many states in the US, including in Binghamton in New York, Badger in California, York in South California and Red House in Virginia. JF is reportedly linked through court documents to the Muslims of Americas. There is also a road in the name of Sheikh Gilani in the vicinity of Virginia. The cult houses between 100 and 200 people, many of them women and children in about 20 huge trailers."

It was the compound in Red House, Virginia that attracted the attention of Baron Bodissey and his digital camera. He knew what he was getting into:

[On Sheikh Gilani] "Sheikh Gilani, you may remember, is the cleric with whom Daniel Pearl had arranged an interview back in January of 2002. Unfortunately, Mr. Pearl was betrayed by his sources, and then abducted and beheaded. Sheikh Gilani was arrested later that month and languishes in Pakistani custody.

So this is the kind of people we are dealing with here. They launder money, smuggle firearms, plan and carry out assassinations and bombings, and conduct intense Islamist indoctrination, including inside American prisons."

Of course, The Baron documents his sources. His post cites information from the SATP report, a Defense Watch article, and an article from The Daily Excelsior of India. In the interest of time and space, I will refrain from reproducing that information here. However, the reader may kindly exercise the use of his/her mouse button on the blue underlined words. In short, Jamaat ul-Fuqra's history of violent activities in the United States is quite extensive.

The Baron was obviously nervous:

"So this is all I knew as I drove through Rustberg toward Red House on a gloomy Saturday afternoon."

Rather than steal his post, I now kindly direct you to Gates of Vienna. His excursion to Red House simply deserves to be read in its entirety.

Enter CP. Like me, he had stumbled across Gates of Vienna and was quite surprised at The Baron's findings. On October 14th, he revealed the fruits of his own research. These included a map and a listing of purported JF compounds as well as their activities. Suddenly the "half-dozen residential compounds in rural hamlets across the US" is a much larger issue.

Over the next several months, both Gates of Vienna and The Politics of CP continue their research. Baron receives some informative e-mails and reveals the dubious connections of Sheikh Gilani, and CP methodically details individual JF compounds in Colorado, California, South Carolina (since updated), New York, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee. In fact, all of CP's reports have been compiled into one place for easy access. Take some time to read through these reports. Aside from a few radio appearances by The Baron in October and CP just yesterday, there has been very little public coverage of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, something that for the past four months has been increasingly irritating. I'm sure CP and The Baron would echo those sentiments.

However, I think it may be fair to say that the coverage of Jamaat ul-Fuqra has turned a corner. CP has teamed up with the Northeast Intelligence Network--which has an excellent history of investigation--and a formal investigative report has been released.

That report can be viewed here in PDF format.

I will let the report speak for itself, but a short summary is due: After presenting an excellent collection of background information on Jamaat ul-Fuqra and Sheikh Gilani, the report details a comprehensive field investigation of the JF Headquarters in New York known as 'Islamberg'. Investigators have secured photos of the site, and conducted additional covert observation of areas of the compound not visible from any publicly-accessible position. Among their findings are an apparently well-used firing range, a military style obstacle and rope course, and numerous armed sentries patrolling the grounds armed with rifles. Above all, the layout of the compound appears to have been designed to prevent public observation. The report also details a number of interviews with local residents who live near the compound. Most notable are these two quotes:

"We see children - small children run around over there when they should be in school. We hear bursts of gunfire all of the time, and we know that there is military like training going on there. Those people are armed and dangerous. We get nothing but menacing looks from the people who go in and out of the camp, and sometime they yell at us to mind our own business when we are just driving by. We don't even dare to slow down when we drive by. They own this mountain and they know it, and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can't even do that. Who wants to buy property next to that?" [Source: CP/NIN Report, page 13]

And:

"These people need to be investigated. They are training for war, either for war here in this country or against our troops. Who in the hell is allowing this stuff to happen right here in our own backyard, and why?" [Source: CP/NIN Report, page 13]

Additional supporting information can be found in the appendix of the report.

By no means is the Jamaat ul-Fuqra story over. The CP/NIN effort states that it is an interim report, and that further investigations are pending. CP himself and Baron and Dymphna at Gates of Vienna continue to research and publish their findings. I myself am currently researching possible JF activities in my region of the country.

This story will always carry a special distinction for me, having been fortunate enough to follow this story from the day of its revelation by Baron Bodissey to the CP/NIN report and beyond. I am proud of my fellow bloggers who have made incredible strides in researching, compiling, narrating, and presenting any and all information they have uncovered. As an American, I am disturbed by the threats that organizations like Jamaat ul-Fuqra pose to our country, as well as the apparent impotence of the proper authorities to deal with the situation. However, if the past four months are any indication, I am confident that the American people will competently defend their homeland by raising awareness of this story and conducting private investigations in a thorough yet mature manner. Government knowledge of these investigations appears to be lacking, but progress is being made. (Both Gates of Vienna and CP were mentioned in a weekly NYPD counterterrorism briefing.) I am optimistic--something that usually doesn't come easily for me--that we will prevail.

But let me address the members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra themselves: Jamaat ul-Fuqra, Muslims of the Americas, or whatever you choose to call yourselves, we are watching you. We know where you are and we know what you are doing; we know what you believe and what you're hoping to do. If you're anywhere near competent, I expect that you've been following our reports and you're probably reading this right now. (Thanks for stopping by and upping my traffic, but don't let the door hit you on the way out.) Make no mistake, we will not allow our country to be attacked from within. You have managed to use and abuse the freedom and liberties inherent in American society to operate your illegal compounds, indoctrinate your followers with murderous ideology, and subvert the civil order of this nation by committing numerous murders, bombings, fraud, and other criminal acts. Yet we are not powerless against you. In accordance with the laws of our nation--the very laws which protect your rights to speak freely, assemble together, practice your ideology, and bear arms--we will expose your activities and bring you to justice. We know that you are patient and resourceful, but so are we.

Your days are numbered.

Jamaat ud Dawa: "Charity" Front or Terrorist Organization?
Fresh on the heels of linking to counterterrorist blogger CP's recent post exposing yet another Jamaat ul Fuqra terror training compound in America, I suddenly found myself once again bitten by the bug of researching and exposing terrorists, wherever they may be, whoever they are.

Well, guess what? I've found another "Jamaat". This time it's Jamaat ud Dawa.

What is this Jamaat ud Dawa?

Well, for starters, here's their official website. My, but it sounds very nice and non-threatening to us non-Muslims, doesn't it? They claim to be wholly opposed to terrorism and actually denounce terrorism as terrorism.

Here's the link to their introduction to themselves.

They claim to be a movement founded in 1985 by "by Islamic scholars and reformers of great distinction". As for whether they're telling the truth, I'll deal with that a little further down in this post.

The Jamaat also, in their introduction, claims:

Jama’at-ad-Da’wah has always carried out its activities peacefully . Not only did the Jama’at participate in any violent demonstrations, it has always tried to educate the public against such violence. Jama’at-ad-Da’wah does not believe in armed struggle against Muslim rulers in Islamic countries. Such activities not only weaken the Muslim Nation (Ummah), but also provide an opportunity for non-believers (Kuffar) to succeed in their nefarious schemes. It is our belief that Muslim rulers and peoples should be
invited to the undistorted and true faith (Deen).

(Note above that they say something about Kuffars (non-Muslims) and "nefarious schemes", exposing an apparent hostility towards non-Muslims.)

We can force neither the rulers, nor the people, to change. Those who use violence to impose their point of view, actually lack the force of argument. Jama’at-ud-Da’wah believes that bomb blasts at public places, damaging public property, random killing of innocent people, raping women, and other crimes against humanity are blatant acts of terrorism. Whoever carries out such acts, whether it is an organization or state, is a terrorist.

Wow! Sound good? These guys are Muslims who reject jiahd, which is an absolute requirement of all "pure" Muslims (this organization speaks of Islamic purity, remember!)?

Are these Muslims, who claim to be pure Muslims, therefore ironically rejecting the orders of Allah as written in the Koran?

I mean, yeah, suuuure!

They say of themselves:

The creed of Jama’at-ad-Da’wah is based on these words of Allah (saw) in the Qur’an:

ÇÏúÎõáõæÇú Ýöí ÇáÓøöáúãö ßóÂÝøóÉð

“Enter in totality into the fold of Islam.” (Surah al Baqarah: 208)

Note the word "totality". This is very clear. One cannot "enter in totality into the fold of Islam" and reject one of the key dictates of Islam as ordered by Allah. One cannot reject anything at all, in fact, and claim to be totally Muslim. It would be illogical and blasphemous, certainly in the eyes of fundamentalists and would actually carry a death sentence, if I recall correctly from my research of the Koran.

How about more? Is Jamaat ud Dawa really who they claim to be?

Now, let's go here. We learn that this Jamaat was, until recently, actually named "Lashkar-e-Tayyaba ".

Guantanamo detainee Khalid Bin Abdullah Mishal Thamer Al Hameydani’s
Combatant Status Review Tribunal said that he had received training from Lashkar. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf banned the group along with four other Islamic groups, in January 2002, amid pressure that followed the 9/11 attacks in the US. By mid-2002 it had renamed itself Jama’at ud Dawa. The massive earthquake in the both parts of divided Kashmir in October 2005 has also affected its fortunes.

This organization is clearly a terrorist organization like Jamaat ul Fuqra, which has camps in Pakistan, the United States and Canada (I've exposed the one in Canada on this blog). They were banned and changed their name to what it is today, now pretending to be an Islamic disaster relief organization, also very similar to Jamaat ul Fuqra's claims about itself (the Fuqra was involved in supposed relief activities following Hurricane Katrina).

The group has repeatedly claimed through its journals and websites that its main aim is to destroy Indian republic and annihilate Hindus. Also, it identifies India, Israel and USA as the main centres of infidelity and according to the Laskhar they must be destroyed to promote spread of Islam.

(...)

The group that started its operations initially in Kashmir now has spread its tentacles in rest of India. In fact, the group has executed nearly half a dozen major attacks on temples and busy markets in different parts of India in the past one year.

It appears that Jamaat ud Dawa is to India as Hezbollah is to Israel.

Since then, the group has again been allowed to openly collect funds in Pakistan, officially for reconstruction work. Many of their offices have reopened and its members have played a prominent role in rebuilding work. Unlike most other Kashmir terrorist groups, a majority of its members are non-Kashmiri, and its headquarters are also based in Pakistan.

Here's a U.S. Navy Terrorist Group Profile for the organization. The information at this link is very illuminating and damning. In fact, they've been linked to Al Qaeda.

According to the profile, this organization was originally formed in 1989, not in 1985 as they claim. They became the "Dawa" after being banned as a terrorist group by the Pakistani government following 9/11.

Activities:

LT has conducted a number of operations against Indian troops and civilian targets in Jammu and Kashmir since 1993. LT claimed responsibility for numerous attacks in 2001, including an attack in January on Srinagar airport that killed five Indians; an attack on a police station in Srinagar that killed at least eight officers and wounded several others; and an attack in April against Indian border security forces that left at least four dead. The Indian government publicly implicated LT, along with JEM, for the attack on December 13, 2001, on the Indian Parliament building, although concrete evidence is lacking. LT is also suspected of involvement in the attack on May 14, 2002, on an Indian Army base in Kaluchak that left 36 dead. Senior al-Qa’ida lieutenant Abu Zubaydah was captured at an LT safe house in Faisalabad in March 2002, suggesting some members are facilitating the movement of al-Qa’ida members in Pakistan.

External Aid

Collects donations from the Pakistani community in the Persian Gulf and United Kingdom, Islamic NGOs, and Pakistani and other Kashmiri business people. LT also maintains a Web site (under the name Jamaat ud-Daawa), through which it solicits funds and provides information on the group’s activities. The amount of LT funding is unknown. LT maintains ties to religious/militant groups around the world, ranging from the Philippines to the Middle East and Chechnya through the fraternal network of its parent organization Jamaat ud-Dawa (formerly Markaz Dawa ul-Irshad). In anticipation of asset seizures by the Pakistani Government, the LT withdrew funds from bank accounts and invested in legal businesses, such as commodity trading, real estate, and production of consumer goods.

This terrorist organization bears investigation, even though they aren't known to have any bases of operation in North America or Europe.
They are clearly a mortal enemy of our friend, India. For example, go here to see them, on their website, demonize the Indian media and Indian "intellectuals" for what they say about a secretive compound called "Markaz-e-Tayyibah", which I suspect might be a fortress of terrorism or something.
I may do further postings on this organization depending on further research findings.

Markaz-e-Tayyibah, Mureedkay

Markaz-e-Tayyibah is located 3 kilometers from Mureedkay city, approximately 35 kilometers towards the north of Lahore, along the Grand Trunk Road. A village, Nangal Saadhan, is nearby. Interestingly, the Indian media has relentlessly carried on a propaganda campaign to try to portray the Markaz as some sort of a secret place resembling a fort, where people are trained in handling arms and ammunition. It is projected as an out of bounds area which no one can trespass. The Indian media has tried its utmost to prove a liaison between Markaz-e-Tayyibah and Lashkar-e-Tayyibah.

It seems befitting therefore, to clear any misconceptions about the place, and, in the process, to expose the evil intentions of Indian intellectuals and their nefarious designs in trying to discredit a wonderful place through fabricated lies.

It is therefore necessary to remove any doubts about Markaz-e-Tayyibah as it is neither a headquarter of any organization, nor does it have any organizational office of Jama’at-ad-Da’wah on its premises. In fact, it was a residential project that slowly transformed into an educational project. A mosque was built, and an Islamic University namely Ja’miah-ad-Da’wah was founded there. As Allah has bestowed tremendous popularity upon Jama’at-ad-Da’wah among the masses, a large number of students were eager to be admitted to this reputable institution, which in turn, resulted in a further expansion of the residential aspect. As the population soared, Makkah Colony, Madinah Colony and the Tayyibah Colony residential projects were completed to accommodate and absorb the constant influx of students, teachers, and staff.

This tremendous popularity prompted the leadership of Jama’at-ad-Da’wah to further expand Markaz-e-Tayyibah into an educational complex. Therefore, two ad-Da’wah Model Schools, besides Ja’miah-ad-Da’wah, were also established. One school is for girls, and the other one is for boys. Subsequently, the boys’ school was upgraded to ad-Da’wah Science College, whereas the girls’ school is presently up to Secondary School level. Some time later, a technical training workshop was set up for training semi-literate youngsters in learning various vocational skills, such as welding, carpentry, etc., enabling them to earn their livelihood so that they would not be dependent upon other people. Soon after, classes of ‘Doura Suffa’, a training course of twenty-one days in which they are made to learn the Holy Qur’aan and Salaat (Prayer), besides learning how to give Da’wah (call people to Islam), were also arranged for these students.

Doura Suffa plays a very vital role in combating the various evils rampant in society. A special practice of speeches is an important feature of this training course. ‘Doura Suffa’ has also been arranged for women.

Due to this educational background of, then Governor of Punjab Shahid Hamid, and the Information Minister, Mushahid Hussain visited Markaz-e-Tayyibah in 1998, during ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Shareef’s tenure. As usual, the Indian media observed this visit with its jaundiced eye.

Markaz-e-Tayyibah is open to everyone to visit. There is nothing there except the aforementioned educational and residential set-ups. Jama’at-ad-Da’wah has not had an organizational office there since 1985 when Markaz-e-Tayyibah became an educational/residential complex, yet the Indian media has a habit of misinforming its audience. An annual congregation of the leadership (Markazi Ijtima’a) was convened there in 1999, but when Indian agents tried to sabotage the women’s section during the congregation, Jama’at-ad-Da’wah decided not to arrange the Ijtima’a there anymore. Regardless, ever since that congregation, Indian journalists have been constantly crying wolf. We extend an open invitation to everyone to visit Markaz-e-Tayyibah, so that they can distinguish the myth from the reality with their own eyes.

Latest news about Markaz Tayyibah

Markaz-e-Tayyibah is once again a focus of the international media due to reports that one of the London Suicide Bombers had allegedly visited it. The Mirror floated a fictitious story that bin Laden has a house in Markaz-e-Tayyibah, and that Tanveer Shehzad, one of the alleged bombers, had received training at this house. Thanks to this fake and fabricated story, western journalists, particularly British journalists, have been visiting the Markaz to try and establish a connection between the London bombings and Markaz-e-Tayyibah. On July 16, 2005, one of these journalists, Mr. Luke Hording of The Guardian, staged a hostage drama by switching off his mobile phone. When the newspaper’s head office tried to contact him, he was unavailable, so the head office contacted the British Government, which in turn, got in touch with the Pakistani authorities for help. Before long, there was a panic like situation in Lahore. Security Forces were ready to raid the Markaz, but luckily, a Pakistani journalist spotted Mr. Luke Hording in the Pearl Continental Hotel in Lahore and informed the authorities, and they cancelled their `scheduled trip` to Markaz.

To avoid any such hostage taking drama in the future, Jama’at-ad-Da’wah has since restricted the entry of foreign journalists. In the future, only those foreign Journalists will be allowed to enter who are accompanied by a representative of the Information Ministry of Pakistan.

Terror Camp in Combermere, Ontario and Other Locations in Canada

Continuing my investigation, I've come across information on a specific location inside of Canada of a Jamaat ul Fuqra (JuF) "jamaat", a rural community of Islamists appparently training in terrorism.

The jamaat in question is located in the Madawaska Valley in Combermere, Ontario.

Note that this is just outside of Ottawa!

The information comes from Defense Watch . It's an article posted on Free Republic. It's one bloody hell of a read. Go and read it!

A couple of excerpts for the bigger picture:

The upstate New York town of Hancock serves as the American headquarters for al Fuqra, with at least six major rural communities, jamaats, of two to three hundred members located in Red House, Va., Tulare County, Cal., Commerce, Ga., York, S.C., Dover, Tenn., and Combermere, Canada. Total membership in al Fuqra is believed to be between one and three thousand, with smaller jamaats being reported in over 25 locations throughout the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. The communities themselves are primarily walled or fenced-in gatherings of trailers or mobile homes. At least three of the compounds are known to have firing ranges, and the compound in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California has a fully functional airfield.

(...)

Additionally, Al fuqra owns two private security companies in Brooklyn, N.Y. that not only provide armed protection for the jamaats, but also compete for government and private security contracts.

WTF!

Just read it!

Also confirming the location: Weekly Standard

Excerpts (emphasis mine):

Gilani launched his U.S. operations in 1980. Within ten years, Fuqra's communes were billing themselves as havens where Muslim converts--many of them inner-city blacks, sometimes recruited in prison--could build new lives. At least seven such communities are active today, in Hancock, N.Y.; Red House, Va.; Tulare County, Calif.; Commerce, Ga.; York, S.C.; Dover, Tenn.; and Combermere, Canada. While some of these enclaves contain only rudimentary buildings and trailers, the California compound has 300 residents on a 440-acre spread, according to a recent report by a local ABC station. Residents deny any involvement with terror, but Fuqra has a history of getting into trouble with the law.

Over the years, at least a dozen Fuqra members have been convicted of crimes including conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, and workers' compensation fraud in the United States or Canada. And Fuqra members are suspects in at least 10 unsolved assassinations and 17 firebombings between 1979 and 1990. Nor is Fuqra's criminal activity all in the past. In the last year alone, a resident of the California compound was charged with first degree murder in the shooting of a sheriff's deputy; another was charged with gun smuggling; the state of California launched an investigation into the fate of more than a million dollars in public funds given to a charter school run by Fuqra leaders; and two residents of the Red House community were convicted of firearms violations, while a third awaits trial.

BREAKING: MSM TO EXPOSE JuF TERROR TRAINING CAMP TONIGHT

Terror training camp to be exposed by MSM tonight at 10 pm EDT, FOX 5 NY
