Jihadist Training Compound in America: An Update

Story here.


Excerpts:

Islamberg is not as benign as a Buddhist monastery or a Carmelite convent. Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives. None of the neighbors wished to be identified for fear of "retaliation." "We don't even dare to slow down when we drive by," one resident said. "They own the 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 a property near that?"

The complex serves to scare the bejeesus out of the local residents. "If you go there, you better wear body armor," a customer at the Circle E Diner in Hancock said. "They have armed guards and if they shoot you, nobody will find your body."

At Cousins, a watering hole in nearby Deposit, a barfly, who didn't wish to be identified, said: "The place is dangerous. You can hear gunfire up there. I can't understand why the FBI won't shut it down."

Even though Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been involved in terror attacks and sundry criminal activities, recruited thousands of members from federal and state penal systems, and appears to be operating paramilitary facilities for militant Muslims, it remains to be placed on the official US Terror Watch List. On the contrary, it continues to operate, flourish, and expand as a legitimate nonprofit, tax-deductible charity.

...and this in a country that brazenly invaded David Koresh's compound in Waco, Texas.

Why leave alone the Jamaat ul Fuqra?

Just shut it down. It's a matter of national security.

And there's at least one such jihad compound in Canada.

You know, if a group of Christians were to set up militia compounds to prepare civilian armies for some kind of new crusade, they'd be shut down in a heartbeat. No question about it. Why give these Muslims a free pass?

I can only hope that the state authorities are hoping that the Fuqras will lead them to bigger fish. I'd recommend keeping an eye out for any Russian and Chinese nationals having any contact with the members of these compounds. After all, it's owing to Communism, beginning with Russia, circa 1967, that we have international terrorism, which assumes an Islamic orientation most of the time. And Russia and China today are indubitably financing and facilitating international terrorism.
