"Would we have allowed the Third Reich to openly run tax-exempt sabotage training centers here during the second world war?"

Today? Yes. It would be Politically Incorrect to do anything but.

[Mariner]

I'm astounded. This is the first I've heard of this organization and I'm surprised that it has not been "dissolved" by now.

[Michael2001]

I don't think rural Virginia is probably the best place to "hide-out." It is rather populated, and I don't think these folks would blend in very well. But then I really am not familiar with rural Virginia. Perhaps it might surprise me.

These folk would not blend it very well. I keep reading about these terrorists living right in my home state, apparently we are one of their main bases of operation in the US, however, I have yet to run into one of these creeps.

Most of them are "converts", American born blacks, they just might blend in. Even if they didn't they managed to stay in the hills in California, known to all, and now they want to move east.

Raids by police in 1992 and 1993 on a 101-acre Muslim commune in central Colorado turned up bombs, automatic weapons, ammunition and plans for terrorist attacks. At least two of the communes — in New York and California — have shooting ranges.

Has Bush lost the iniative on the War on Terror? I thought he said, if you support a terrorist you are a terrorist. What are these people still doing in the country?

Radical Muslims in rural Virginia in the 21st century?
That sounds like campy Science Fiction movie.

I do not think that we will ever be allowed to do what must be done in order to protect this country. Too many whimpy, liberal-thinking, brain-dead people 'care' about human rights........grrr.....

ps........I live in Va.

[DooDahhhh]

I live in Virginia also....WE don't want 'em!

[bandlength]

i'm not so sure. . . the third reich was white, mostly male and european, so on that basis alone, they wouldn't have been allowed to set up camp. . . today.

Go Here.

Enter "Islamic" in the quick search window. You will get back over 1,000 hits in the next panel. Too many for a list. Pick a state from the "drop down" to see the Islamic "nonprofits" in your state.

"But then I really am not familiar with rural Virginia"

I am. Unless rural Virginia has changed a lot, the locals will be watching these potential terrorists closely. If there is anything they can do, they will try. Not too sure what they legally can do, though.

There are a lot of "Muslim" converts in VA. Mostly young black guys who joined the "brotherhood" while in prison. There's a whole "drug dealer/convict/NWA" sub culture down there, as there is in the cities all over the US. What's strange about VA is that the problem is spread throughout the WHOLE state. Wish Ollie North had won the election...VA might not have slid so far downhill.

[Jackie222]

I can't imagine they would feel too welcome in that area.

They will fit right in if they do not wear their costumes. A lot of American blacks have joined them.

[nravoter]

Muslims of America claims to be nonviolent, saying in a recent statement that Sheik Gilani "does not condone nor teach us to condone violence, especially against the innocent."

If it were really true that Sheik Gilani is not teaching anyone to condone violence, why did this idiot feel the need to add the clause "especially against the innocent"?

[SauronOfMordor]

I don't think rural Virginia is probably the best place to "hide-out." It is rather populated, and I don't think these folks would blend in very well.

The article says these are Americans who converted to Islam. I would guess they're mostly Black Muslims who converted in prison

As long as they don't dress Muslim, they would probably blend in with the rest of the Black population of Virginia

[who knows what evil?]

Radical Muslims in rural Virginia in the 21st century?

Not sure if they were radical, but there were quite a few Muslims picnicking at Claytor Lake State Park 40 miles SW of Roanoke yesterday. Many people took notice when the men dropped to their knees and started praying in the direction of the lake. (Is Allah a water dweller?) Many in our party were kind of hoping that Allah would inform them that they were parked in a NO PARKING zone. Another in our party recently returned from her former home in Minnesota, and she informed us that people from the Middle East were buying up service stations "right and left" in the Minneapolis area. What's up with that?

[Twodees]

In the area around Meherrin, these people stand out from the black Virginians like a sore thumb. People in Charlotte and Prince Edward counties are almost all rural Christians, white and black. Muslims don't blend in at all, and this bunch relies on having a large, secluded tract of private land for protection rather than blending into a community anyway.

wholly krap-ola 51 in Meechigan .....
me gets the feeling we're smack dab in the middle of a long-term master plan that began around 10 years ago, like they've been organizing and planning a "jihad" all this time under the mask of charity. Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but what if they had enough members to plant one or more in every store, neighborhood, gas station, amusement park, bank, etc etc etc.. and they just sit back and wait for the "word". It's time we wake up - the enemy is here.

[isthisnickcool]

The earliest one I've seen goes back to 1975. But a lot of them seem to have been put together in the last 80's and early 90's

Kinda sick, seems like our own tax dollars are going to promote Islam, which wants to destroy us.
