Mystery Deepens: Christmas Visit Confirms Finding – Muslim Men Still Missing from Islamberg
Paul L. Williams, PhD
Despite rumors to the contrary, Islamberg, the notorious compound in upper New York State where Muslim men trained for the jihad, remains almost deserted.
On the day after Christmas, the only inhabitants of the settlement, where the constant rat-tat-tat of semi-automatic weapons once echoed from firing ranges, were women and children.
Several of the women were immigrants from Pakistan; others were African-American who refused to speak to this reporter.
One woman, however, said that the men had traveled to Lahore, Pakistan, where the leader of the compound – Sheikh Mubarek Gilani – lives in a walled fortress.
Since Islamberg was established in 1981, the Muslim recruits made regular trips to Pakistan for advanced training in guerilla warfare. But this year all of the young men have make the trek and there are no signs of their immediate return.
The tape that accompanies this article from Christian Action Network comes from footage shot several years ago when Islamberg and the 30-plus other Jamaat ul-Fuqra compounds throughout the country were fully operational as centers of basic training for Muslim radicals.
Despite the fact that the young Muslim men have hit the high road to Pakistan and other killing fields, the situation at Islamberg continues to warrant scrutiny for the following reasons:
(1). Islamberg contains massive underground bunkers that are interconnected by a network of tunnels. A building contractor, who resides in Sherman, Pennsylvania – approximately 15 miles from Islamberg – says that he helped to install the bunkers and that the paramilitary training that formerly took place at the firing range and the obstacle courses now takes place now takes place at these subterranean locations.
(2). The compound is no longer centralized. Many of the wannabe jihadis have moved to nearby locations, including a trailer park less than a mile away.
(3). There are bodies buried in Islamberg. This fact remains to be investigated by local law enforcement officials.
(4). The residents of Islamberg reside in squalid and unsanitary conditions that violate New York State health and safety codes.

Is there running water and electricity in this compound at Islamberg? If so, who pays for it? While our country is a free country - we must be reminded freedom is NOT free. There must be laws. Are the people there here legally? What a mess!

Perhaps the main body of the so-called residents have dispersed to outlying communities to make room for the incoming new troops. If this practice was kept up long enough they could soon have a pretty large jihad army on our soilready to attack on j day. Do not ever underestimate these people. With their buddies being tried in New York City, this gives them the backgrond cover to go on the move with other than the trial in mind. Remember these prisoners are fanatical would be suicides.
