Military-style training in the Catskill Mountains? That’s what the NY Post reported on Monday. The report stated that Islamberg, a remote 70-acre commune in Tompkins NY is the headquarters for Muslims of the Americas but is also believed to be a cover for Jamaat al-Fuqra, a radical group founded by the Pakistani cleric Mubarak Ali Gilani.
The compound is under scrutiny because of reports of training and gunfire there, the newspaper said.
A resident who would not give his name denied that anything illegal was happening at Islamberg.
This is my country, the resident told the Post. I love this country. I did a year in the bush in Vietnam for this country.
Gilani used to preach at a Brooklyn mosque and has returned to Pakistan. The group he started still operates in rural areas, the Post said.
Gilani is the Muslim cleric that Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was trying to meet when he was kidnapped and killed in Pakistan in February 2002.

This is not too far from the Borscht Belt. They built this thing in the Catskills so they are able to plan to murder people especially Jews in a place that is isolated. This place was being reported about already last year.
Why don’t we all elect Barak Hussein Obama as president and then we can move to Pakistan to feel safe!!
WHERE EVER THE JEWS ARE THER IS MUSILMS,
Rabbi Eliezer Gross Shlit”a of Los Angeles has a good CD about how we should relate to the Muslim threat.
Sounds sinister to me.
Where is this place in comparison to Liberty?
Are there many people training or living on this compound, or more like an investment property? Awaiting info.
Ah nice little shtetl to make them feel like ‘Der Alteh Heim’. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. (NOT!)
I suggest that Weiss from NK should be appointed Moro Dasra.
illini,
First of all, ‘investigated’???, that was the point of this news-bit.
I hope you are joking!! You don’t understand the calamity of a ‘closet, denying, Muslim’ as a front running Democrat for president. Do you get the connection???? Muslims, President USA, Muslim???
What took so long to uncover it ?
The name should have given it away
i think that people should have a big Hafganah in front of the Pakistan Embassy- maybe will help with helping understand that it’s not legal to have a arab “Shtetl” near Jews…
Hatzloocha Rabba L’oivdei Hashem (“V’koivei Hashem Yachlifu Koiach”)!

this place is a few miles off exit 87a on route 17 west-about a half hour from liberty.
illini07 – We have sparred many times over various news items and although we disagree on the shame parade, I enjoy the debate.
I was commenting in my post to you “well-reasoned argument” disguised as a personal attack to iknowit where you refer to him as one who is “babbling stupidity” – if you responded to iknowit with the second 1/2 of post 19 and left it at that, you would have made an argument – as to well-reasoned, I leave that up to everybody to decide for themselves
have a wonderful Shabbos my friend.
