Related to Islamville, From Wikipedia:

Islamberg is a community founded by Imam Al Sheik Mubarik Ali Shah Jilani Hashimi, it is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani Sufi cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr". Gilani has been linked to Jamaat ul-Fuqra.

It got its start about 20 years ago in the Catskills mountains within Hancock New York, when — inspired by the words of the Sufi cleric, a group of primarily black Muslims from Brooklyn left New York City to escape crime, poverty and racism. Aiming to lead what they believed was a peaceful and holy Muslim life, they built a community of some 40 family houses, their own grocery store and a bookstore.

And they weren't alone. Other groups, also inspired by Gilani, have set up similar communities in 19 other states. According to the group's own Web site, the Islamberg community is still "struggling," and is asking for donations to complete its mosque.

According to locals, the land previously belonged to a Deposit, N.Y., woman who opened up her home in the in the late 1970s or early '80s to disadvantaged youths from the city so that they could avoid being led astray by a financially and morally bankrupt urban environment.
Allegations of verbal threats of violence against a blogger on behalf of the community have been reported, and documented by the Spokane Police Department.

Two members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra spent time in Islamberg prior to being convicted for their involvement with the first World Trade Center bombing and for conspiring to bomb New York City tunnels and landmarks.

Islamberg is a peaceful sufi afroamerican community.

Stop ZIONIST propaganda!!

[KafirAlalazoo]

Yeah, I'm sure we can trust the commentary of a Hizballah supporter and holocaust denier like yourself.

I'm sure the Hotel Rajneesh bombing was just a misunderstanding, and I'm sure Pakistan has banned Jamaat ul-Fuqra because of their 'peaceful' nature.

One could ask journalist Daniel Pearle to tell you more about how peaceful Gilani's followers are, except for the fact that he was kidnapped and beheaded while trying to meet with Gilani.

Yeah, I'm sure your comment is spot on.

terrorist training camps:

scary stuff, we're going to pc ourselves to death, frozen into inaction by our own good intentions and noble ideals, always afraid/unable to act until after innocent people are dead

[oldgrizzlebear]

It's hard to believe that all these squabbling people have lost sight of the fact that they are arguing over the individual distortion of one god. Jews, christians, muslims, catholics. I all comes back to the god of abraham. God is still god. People are different. And they warp everything good by spewing hate and intolerance. And all over the same god.

[SabinaWrt]

I just did dare and I note that in your reply I find nothing but a thinly veiled threat to "submit". Interesting .... I just proved my point that this is what you as a muslim desire for me. Yes, your way of thinking is a threat to the US and all western nations who have no desire to worship your allah

[SabinaWrt]

. It should not be of any interest to you what and who I worship or what I believe.

I don't care about what you believe until you trespass on others and militant/political Islam is doing just that. Your beliefs as expressed in your Qu'ran does trespass on the well being of others and is awful where women are concerned.

[KafirAlalazoo]

New Jersey?

[AiniNashwa23]

And you know that? Are you a Muslim? Is or was your religion ever Islam? Dont you dare sit there and tell me what I believe and what I feel. I dont know what kind of person you are, whether you are muslim or non-muslim, Only Allah (GOD) knows that. But I tell you this, if you do not submit to the will of GOD, not Muslims will but GOD's will, where do you think you will end up!

[ctusa777]

Time to destroy these terrorist comounds before they comit more crimes in the U.S.

Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, "Thank God, I'm still alive." But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again.
