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.

IMPORTANT PING Grampa Dave would not have asked for this PING unless was REALLY IMPORTANT
Why is there an Islamic Village in the foothills near Fresno?

Please take a little time and read about this group and as it turns out groups operating not only in California but other states.

This has to be some of the scariest $hit that I have "just" found out about our home grown Islamic Fanatic Terrorists.

Miss Marple, this group operates in the back yard of your favorite congressman, Condidit! I wonder if the Guild can find any financial connections between any sugar Daddy to this group and Davis and Condidit!

John and Tonkin, would you please set this post up with your ping lists. For some really scary stuff go to the replies in the 190's from Don Joe and Ernest re data they found on this outfit on a Google search that I did!

So this Islamic group with connections to Islamic terrorists operated right in Condidit's back yard and of course in Gray Davis's state.

I will be out of the loop until about next tuesday, so if I don't respond to you, you will know that I away from the computer!

This story fascinates me! I lived in Badger, CA from age 8 to age 14, (local, not Synanon) played on Synanon's sponsored little league team in the Exeter, CA little league. In about 1981, I rode with a couple of Synanon kids in a little Cessna on a fun flight around the mountains.

You're right, Synanon did put up buildings along the strip, and also built a basketball court and tennis courts on it. The air strip hasn't been used since the mid-eighties. Badger is QUIET. If Fuqra were using the air strip, locals would notice immediately.

In fact, I'm going to contact a friend of mine who still lives in Badger, and ask him for the scoop on these Fuqra people.

I want to find my local South bay cells now, didn't realize that Synanon (I knew ex cult members of that org that had some horrific stories of mental and sexual abuse) had been replaced by something more sinister. Let's find all local cells now, including the ones here in Santa Clara Co. Anyone have info or locations?

True, it could be several cities, such as coordinated anthrax attacks using kilo sized "anthrax bombs" and not grams in letters.

Religious wackos living in an isolated trailor park compound? I believe standard procedure is for the feds to burn them alive while the nation yawns.

This has been an incredibly eye opening thread!

The "FURQUA"! With training camps in our backyards! Who knew!

BTW, to post a "hot link", this is the HTML formula:

< a HREF="URL" > putlinksnamehere < /a >

As before, leave no spaces next to the < >. Copy and paste the URL of the article you want to link the same as with an image by right clicking on it and going into "properties". Then use the back button to go back to the thread you want to post the hot link on and "voila".

Please read the articles on top of this thread, and you will be amazed to discover a network of radical islamic (terrorist?) training camps spread across the USA.

Also, note the comments on #224 about the Saudis' favorite blue eyed slaves, and the crown prince's favorite genie.

For info on other sleeper cell and training camp locations, a good place to start is the Sacramento Bee article linked at #162 on this thread, but there are other links on this thread to check also, I think GrampaDave posted a few more of them.

"Worrisome" isn't quite strong enough to describe this.... so we are nurturing a Fifth Column in our own back yard? And being admonished to be "tolerant" while this vermin plots against our country?

It's horrific, and one thing really bad about it?

Pakistan—The Chief Patron-Promoter

These guys have nukes! Cute!
All I can think to do is use these:

Communicate! Let the Sons of....

to spread the story like we did the "Northcut & TJ" story, and hope the idjits wake up in time....
