Exclusive: Federal Agents Raid Christian Compound – Ignore Islamberg

Federal agents raided a Michigan-based Christian militia after learning that members of the group – known as the Hutaree – may have been plotting to kill police officers.
But the same agents have been unwilling to raid Islamberg and other compounds of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, where militant Muslims engage in paramilitary training for the great Jihad against Christians and Jews.
 
These compounds are scattered throughout the United States. Many have been in existence for more than 20 years.
 
Neighbors have lodged hundreds of complaints to local law enforcement officials about the rat-tat-tat of machine gun fire and the sounds of explosions coming from these sites but no intrepid federal or state agents have been willing to conduct investigations, let alone to make arrests.
 
This is extraordinary since members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, the Islamic organization that runs these compounds, have been convicted in U.S. courts of such crimes as homicide, conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, grand theft, counterfeiting, and workers’ compensation fraud. Others remain leading suspects in criminal cases throughout the country, including 10 unsolved assassinations and 17 fire-bombings between 1979 and 1990.
 
No Islamic group, not even al Qaeda, has been responsible for more attacks on American soil.  
 
Islamberg (the entrance of which is pictured above) is located on 70 acres of dense forest at the foothills of the Catkskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York.
 
The hillside is blighted by rusty trailers that appear to be without power or running water and a number of outhouses. The scent of raw sewage is in the air.
 
The place is even off limits to the local undertaker, who says that he has delivered bodies to the complex but has never been granted entrance. “They come and take the bodies from my hearse. They won’t allow me to get past the sentry post. They say that they want to prepare the bodies for burial. But I never get the bodies back. I don’t know what’s going on there but I don’t think it’s legal.”
 
On the other side of the hill where few dare to go is a tiny village replete with a make-shift learning center (dubbed the “International Quranic Open University”); a trailer converted into a Laundromat; a small, green community center; a small and rather squalid grocery store; a newly constructed majid; over 40 clapboard homes; and scores of additional trailers.
 
It is home to hundreds – all in Islamic attire, and all African-Americans. Most drive late model SUVs with license plates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The locals say that some work as tollbooth operators for the New York State Thruway, while others are employed at a credit card processing center that maintains confidential financial records.
 
While it buzzing with activity during the week, the place becomes a virtual hive on weekends. The guest includes arrivals from the inner cities of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and, occasionally, white-robed dignitaries in Ray-Bans from the Middle East. 
 
At the eastern perimeter of the property is a training course was equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, wooden fences for scaling, a make-shift obstacle course, and a firing range. 
 
The compound also contains vast underground bunkers.
 
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 bejeezus 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.”

This is all about political correctness with the Obama administration gone absolutely crazy. Until the Feds get their heads out of their a**, or are allowed to do so, then this country is not going to get any closer to being in control of the problems we face with these Islamic terror groups. Keep spreading the word.

This is another typical case of not wanting to offend Muslims but it seems that it's okay to offend Christians. Will it be late befoe Americans wake up and see what's happening on our own soil?

Doesn't anybody else's blood boil over this? The cops are scared spitless to confront these guys but Christians are pushovers, so go after them.
We need to send our own military into these foreign compounds rather than harass the Americans who are gearing up to fight our enemy.

Our blog has been following Jamaat-ul-Fuqra for years and we have a number of posts on them. The compound nearest to us, in Red House VA, was probably a hideout for the Beltway snipers when they went to ground.

None of the girl children go to school but Social Services won't go into the place. However, they do dole out welfare checks to its denizens -- one third of which goes back to Sheikh Jilani in Pakistan (he's on our terrorist list).

When people complained to the Charlotte Co. Board of Supervisors about the street sign (put up by the state), "Sheikh Jilani Lane", the Sups were intimidated into doing nothing.

We've had frightened emails from people who live near compounds in other states. Police and sheriff's departments do nothing.

Marty Mawyer of the Christian Action Network in Lynchburg has a movie out on CD that investigates many of the compounds. I admire his courage in collecting the info personally. There are at least 30 of them, more in Canada.

Investigating white Christians is a cinch. Going into those compounds disguised as a black America-hating ex-felon (and citizen) would be dynamite politically.

This is partly a problem of reverse racism, a subject which is definitely a third rail in our political culture. Can you imagine anyone in *any* administration okaying such a decision?

BTW, Marty hired a plane and flew over J-u-F in Red House taking lots of pictures. What he did was legal, but authorities told him they weren't legally permitted to do the same thing. They were glad to get the info, however.

I think the local (county adn state) police do 'keep an eye' on these places, but their hands are tied legally. At least that is what my co-blogger has been told by some officers.

I believe everyone has rights under the Constitution, that is until they violate the law. Having said that, it does seem to me that a pretty good circumstantial case has been made against some of these Islamic havens. As we know, circumstantial cases don't cut it, unless government wants to go the extra mile to get you. The FBI is a very professional organization and I would be very surprised if they were not keeping a close eye on these groups, even infiltrating some of them. Most people don't understand how difficult it is to penetrate some of these groups and to build a criminal case. It often takes years on a single investigation, depending on the complexity of the organization being investigated. As someone once said, "Patience is the better part of valor," and that is the challenge we face.

If you think this is bad, go to YouTube and watch two former government employees FBI and DoD out their agencies: The Islamic Infiltration, Part 1: Inside Our Government, Armed With Our Secrets (PJTV) and then Part 2 if you can stomach it. We must have both House and Senate Armed Service Committee hearing on this. Why has DoD turned their heads?
Go to Atlas Shrugs and watch the briefing Stephen Coughlin made at the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Part II: Steve Coughlin: former Pentagon key analyst, threat doctrine and sharia litigation specialist/lawyer.

You must call your two senators and congressman demanding hearings in the House and Senate Armed Service Committee's.
