FrontPage interviews Ryan Mauro, creator of Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.
I've covered this matter in the past. Remember Jamaat ul Fuqra? Remember its founder, Sheik Mubarak Gilani, who was arrested on suspicion in the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl, who was en route to interview the Sheik at the time he was abducted, and is a flunky of none other than Osama bin Laden? Remember my post about the JuF compound just outside Ottawa? That was my most-viewed post of all time.
Mauro: This documentary is premiering at Washington D.C.’s Landmark Theater on February 11, at 7:30 PM. It is free to attend and I strongly encourage everyone in the area to come, and those out of the area to go to ChristianAction.org and order a copy. The Christian Action Network (CAN) is a non-profit organization and I personally will not see a penny from the sales. This documentary is simply too important; the threat too severe; and the public too unaware for me to not promote this is any way possible and call myself a patriotic American.“Homegrown Jihad” documents the networks of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a terrorist group run by a radical Muslim leader in Lahore, Pakistan named Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, an individual who, as I said in my last interview, does us the favor of not hiding his true colors. While he casts himself as a peace-loving Muslim, his actions and the actions of his network are anything but. In the documentary, we show a secret videotape, one which Gilani strictly instructs his followers to keep hidden, where he personally engages in terrorist training, from killing guards to hijacking vehicles to setting off explosives. On this tape, he says that those seeking to “join one of the most advanced training courses in Islamic military warfare” can contact any of his “Muslims of America” compounds in the United States, almost all of which still operate today.
“Muslims of America” is a group set up by Gilani to act as a thinly-veiled front for Jamaat ul-Fuqra. There are at least 35 “Muslims of America” compounds in the U.S. alone, along with at least 3,000 members, many of which have criminal backgrounds. The websites of these compounds do not hide the fact that they are devoted to, and are led by, Sheikh Gilani. The compound at Red House, Virginia, even has a street named after him. With Gilani saying things like “We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are in America”, “Jews are an example of human Satans,” and “Act like you are a friend, then kill him”, we need to question the motives and beliefs of those who live in and are educated in his communities and take action to stop them from acting upon these beliefs.
Members of this group continue to be arrested and convicted for involvement in terrorism and all sorts of criminal activity. Members are also required to make a pledge: “I shall always hear and obey, and whenever given the command, I shall readily fight for Allah’s sake.” They continue to recruit members, build and expand compounds, and operate in isolation, away from the eyes of the public.
Nevertheless, the People, as if mere brainless mushrooms, are being kept in the dark and fed nothing but crap by the state apparatus and the Big Media. Obviously, political correctness and dhimmitude prevents timid folks and organizations from daring to spotlight anything Muslim for sinister activities such as running terror training camps right here at home. Strange that we hear about the state apparatus going after such places as the Branch Davidian Compound of David Koresh, an insane, so-called "Christian" cultist and ok-to-target "white guy", (remember that shameful disaster of an FBI operation from the Clinton era?) but the Muslim nutcases plotting to murder our people are off-limits and completely free to operate their own compounds as they see fit, protected from the state apparatus by destructive political correctness.
And it doesn't help that the new American President, Barack Hussein Obama, himself born a Muslim, is like crossed fingers with all sorts of Isalmic extremists and groups and, on his very first day on the job, ordered the closure of Guantanamo Bay, which houses captured terrorists.
