DEPOSIT, N.Y. — Hidden in a remote area off a primitive dirt road lies a mysterious 70-acre compound in which more than 100 Muslims live in seclusion, following the teachings of its founder, a radical cleric with alleged ties to terrorism.
It's neither a Taliban stronghold outside Jalalabad, nor an extremist madrassa on the outskirts of Karachi.
It's a place called Islamberg, a closed and seemingly quiet community at the foot of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, about three hours north of Manhattan.
It's also a compound shrouded in local rumors, mystery — and fear — sitting near the huge reservoir system that provides New York City with most of its drinking water.
Best read it all.
Now... if only Canada had a FoxNews of her own, they could cover the place just outside of Ottawa, put there by the same Sheik Mubarik Gilani, asskissing associate of Osama bin Laden and also the guy Daniel Pearl was on his way to interview at the time he was abducted and murdered...
But as Canada hasn't a FoxNews of her own, it's up to civilians to keep their eyes open for anything suspicious, like automatic weapons fire and explosives being utilized for unknown reasons.
