Islam in America: Terrorist Training Camps

Islamic extremists in the United States have traditionally set up shop in big cities with large Muslim populations: places like New York City, Dearborn, Michigan and even Washington, DC. But one secretive group is doing just the opposite.

They call themselves Muslims of America. They've established compounds throughout the rural U.S. Members say they moved to the countryside to lead peaceful lives free of "Western decadence." But others say that doesn't tell the whole story.

CBN News visited the group's 45-acre site in Red House, Virginia - a town so small you can barely find it on a map. There are no traffic lights, and the only signs of industry are a pair of convenience stores. So when a street sign popped up named after a radical Pakistani sheikh-along with men and women dressed in traditional Islamic garb- the locals took notice.

Sheikh Gilani has been on U.S. intelligence agencies' radar for years. He's currently under investigation for possible ties to al-Qaeda. He also trained jihadists to fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s.

In addition, Gilani attended a 1993 jihadist conference in Sudan along with members of Hamas, Hezbollah and Osama bin Laden himself.

American journalist Daniel Pearl was on his way to interview Gilani in 2002 when he was murdered. The sheikh denies any involvement in Pearl's killing.

CBN News spoke to a former member of Muslims of America who wishes to remain anonymous. 'Mustafa' says Gilani runs the group from Lahore, Pakistan.

"He's the leader of the group. He's a former member of the Pakistani military. His father was one of the founding fathers of Pakistan. He has great connections to Pakistani intelligence, the ISI," he said.

Mustafa says Muslims of America serves as a cash cow for Gilani and Jamaat Al-Fuqra. Each member is required to send 30 percent of their income to Gilani. The group even had a treasurer that checked members' pay stubs.


Sheikh Gilani uses these American dollars to help fund the Taliban and other terrorist groups, according to Mustafa.

Muslims of America compounds are filled with ex-cons from rough backgrounds. Many converted to Islam in prison. Mustafa says there's at least one semi-automatic weapon in every home.

@yusufulhas Don’t kid yourself like a kid, you know much? Get a reality check you don’t know nothing.... So like i said before don’t talk about something you know nothing about and that’s how stupid you are you speak of something you don’t understand. If you like sharia law go and live under sharia and if You don’t? Your just a big talking bitch who deserves what’s coming to him.

[yusufulhas]

@Charbel4God

i believe u do not understand muslim etiquittes when i mean i don't know much. i dont mean i don't know anything i mean i don't know much in comparison to _______. u apparently don't know anything

[Charbel4God]

@yusufulhas So what makes others different? Extremist rule in all Muslim countries. The more extremist you are the more power you have, you don’t know much so please be quite with all this school stuff.

[yusufulhas]

@Charbel4God

interesting theory. unfortunately sharia law isn't books theory movies or conjectures. If u haven't sat with the scholars you don't know what the hell you're talking about. The western governments knew this and sought to disrupt the power of the ulema by starting anti ulema movements. namely Wahabism. These movements culminated into al qaeda. and saudi arabia doesn't count. their methodology is Wahhabiya, their a bit extreme like the jews in alot of their rulings

[yusufulhas]

@Charbel4God

war is war it's experience. it's also strategy u can't go to war without knowledge of formation battle tactics fighting skills etc. their are many people in the ghettos that fight and don't know nothing about war. and i don't know anything, but i do know that u don't. i also suspect you're a liar trying to make me believe in you by claiming to understand arabic. Idk why christians are such liars nowadays.

[yusufulhas]

@Charbel4God

Could u tell me the meaning of Qat'i in the hanafi madhab.

[Charbel4God]

@yusufulhas Who told you that dip shit? I know how to read Arabic and English and i read the Quran and i understand the sharia law i dint just read about it i lived it... Living under sharia law will blow any school degree out of the water. Your saying u learn more in school then living it, that’s like you saying you know war and all you did is watch movies about it. You don’t know shit and your stupid for pretending like you know lol.

[yusufulhas]

@Charbel4God

If u did you'd be a scholar. only the scholars know how sharia law works. in the arab world u need 4-9 years of rigorous schooling and in the indopak region u need 2 years of rigorous schooling. trust me you have no clue and u don't know anything
