Islamic Terror Attacks on American Soil

Content below with many thanks to: thereligonofpeace.com

We recently got taken to the mat by a polite, young Muslim living in the U.K. who took issue with our oft-repeated statement that no Muslim-American lost their life to vigilante violence following 9/11. She provided us a list of six or seven candidates and, after whittling out the ones where the killer was unknown or in cases with mitigating circumstances such as “victim was sleeping with killer’s ex-girlfriend” (and we’re not making that up), we reached a shocking conclusion:

We were wrong.

There is one seemingly unambiguous case that occurred in Dallas, Texas where Waqar Hasan, a Muslim convenience storeowner, was gunned down by Mark Anthony Stroman four days after the 9/11 attacks. Stroman claimed to have been motivated by anger from watching the towers fall. He is not exactly your average American, however, even apart from the shooting. For one thing, he is a white supremacist who carried a felony criminal record at the time of the attack. He also went on to shoot two more people in the weeks that followed.

Although news of the crime was overshadowed in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Stroman’s name brings up more Google hits than some of the 9/11 hijackers – and only a handful of World Trade Center victims are mentioned more on the Web than Waqar Hasan. (Interestingly, the name of a Sikh, killed by someone mistaking him for an 'Arab' actually brings up far more hits than either Hasan or any murdered WTC victim with the exception of the firehouse chaplain). Also, unlike the terrorists walking free in Muslim countries, an American jury sentenced Mark Stroman to death (which we wholeheartedly support).

Nevertheless, we acknowledge that our Muslim friend is correct and that there was at least one Muslim killed in an anti-Arab hate crime in the U.S. following the anti-American hate crime on 9/11. For anyone keeping score:

People killed by radical Muslims on 9/11:	2,996
Muslim-Americans killed in revenge (...by white power felons):	1

Of course, 9/11 was neither the first nor the last time that Muslims have killed Americans on U.S. soil in terror attacks. In fact, since that day, Muslims have killed at least 38 people in 29 separate acts of terrorism in the United States (by the standards that Muslim-American groups set for hate crimes). Perhaps more importantly, there have been quite a few planned mass murders of Americans by Islamic terrorists that were thwarted by the FBI, law enforcement and overseas intelligence operations both before and after 9/11.

By contrast, Muslim-Americans do not appear to be in any special danger from murderous (non-Muslim) religious fanatics, even in a nation awash in firearms. Identity groups, such as CAIR, whine incessantly about relatively trivial incidents while turning a blind eye to the horrible violence that is meted out daily in the name of their religion. This distasteful petulance offers insight not only into the character of Islam, but also the impressive religious tolerance that Americans manage to maintain.

For anyone wondering about the history of deadly Islamic terror on American soil in the last 35 years, here’s what we could find:

Jamaat ul-Fuqra

Jamaat ul-Fuqra

"Knock Knock"

"Whos There?"

"Jamaat ul-Fuqra"

"Jamaat ul-Fuqra Who?"

"Exactly"

"Act like you are his friend. Then kill him." – Sheik Muburak Gilani explaining how to kill American infidels

"We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil and its roots and its roots are America." – Sheikh Mubarek Ali Gilani, Founder of Jamaat ul-Fuqra

Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a terrorist organization with headquarters in Pakistan, has established over 45 compounds in rural areas throughout America. The compounds are providing paramilitary training to new recruits for the great jihad against the USA under the not-so-watchful eye of federal law enforcement officials. Most of the recruits are African Americans who converted to Islam while doing hard time in federal prison.

These compounds, which contain firing ranges and obstacle courses, are located at such places as Hancock, New York; Hyattsville, Maryland; Falls Church, Virginia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; and Squaw Valley, California. Multiple compounds have been established on the rural outskirts of Macon, Georgia and Red House, Virginia. Several of these sites contain landing strips and elaborate networks of underground bunkers. The group has also set up basic training camps throughout Canada, including two near Toronto.

Members of the group have been arrested for trafficking in firearms, including AK-47s. A recent report prepared by the Center for Policing Terrorism maintains that Jamaat ul-Fuqra "may be the best positioned group to launch an attack on the United States, or, more likely, help al-Qaeda to do so."

Since the time of its establishment at a radical mosque in Brooklyn, New York, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been responsible for more terror attacks on America soil (30 and counting) than all the other terrorist groups combined. Jamaat ul-Fuqra seeks to "purify Islam" through violence, and they have spawned and sponsored assassinations, kidnappings, mass murder, grand theft and fraud.

Some noted associates of Jamaat ul-Fuqra include Richard Reid, the Shoe bomber and John Allen Muhammed, the Beltway sniper.

Members of the group, including Clement Rodney Hampton-El took part in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Others, such as Zacarias Moussaowi and Melvin Lattimore, played key roles in the attacks of 9/11.

Islamic groups, such as this, have been under the radar, because of the openness offered by American society and the rights and freedoms we afford. Islamic groups have their own compounds spread throughout the country, where they live and practice military training with live ammunition. Jamaat ul-Fuqra is the leading group in the U.S. The founder of this paramilitary operation is Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani. Gilani is a radical Islamist who is known to be in bed with terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and met terror leaders like Osama bin Laden.

Gilani also trained jihadists for fighting in Kashmir, Chechnya, and Bosnia. He refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr" and considers himself a direct descendent of Mohammed.

"What we are witnessing here is kind of a brand-new form of terrorism. These home-grown terrorists can prove to be as dangerous as any known group, if not more so."

—Special Agent Jody Weis, FBI
Despite ul-Fuqra’s criminal history, Sheikh Gilani’s band of jihadi henchmen remains to be placed on the official US Terror Watch List; and the branches of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, including the Muslims of the Americas, continue to operate, flourish, and expand as legitimate nonprofit, tax-deductible charities without interference from the FBI, the IRS, and Homeland Security.

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."

The FBI can’t shut it down because it remains listed as a religious community and, since war has not been officially declared by Congress, the War Powers Act and the Smith Act, which would permit such intrusion, are not in effect. What’s more, the special agents of the Bureau are now compelled to undergo sensitivity training sessions so that they will not offend practitioners of Islam – even radical Islam – in the course of a criminal investigation.

Local residents in the Virginia compound, complain of the incessant sounds of gunfire on weekends and the arrival of hordes of visitors from Pakistan and the Middle East. But the settlement has attracted little attention from law enforcement officials.

Radical Islam has found southern Virginia so hospitable that Jamaat ul-Fuqra has set up settlements and paramilitary facilities at numerous sites between Red House and Roanoke.

"Jamaat ul-Fuqra may be the best positioned group to launch an attack on the United States, or, more likely, help al-Qaeda to do so." – Center for Policing Terrorism

Flying Over the Georgia Compound
By flying over the ul-Fuqra compound in Commerce, George, investigators noted the residents were engaged in the construction of a massive new underground bunker near a large fortress with a watch tower. When Congressman Peter Hoestra, Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, was informed of this development, he expressed surprise that members of the compound were undertaking this construction without a building permit.

The Raid on the Colorado Compound
In 1989, federal law enforcement officials conducted a raid on the 101 acre ul-Fuqra compound in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

They recovered a multitude of handguns with obliterated serial numbers and silencers, semi-automatic weapons, thirty to forty pounds of explosives, three large pipe bombs, improvised explosive devices, shape charges, blank birth certificates, counterfeit Social Security cards, sets of Colorado drivers’ licenses with identical photos and different names, and manuals entitled "Guerrilla Warfare" and "Counter-Guerrilla Operations.

In addition, they came upon several silhouettes for target practice, including one with the words "FBI Anti-terrorism team" written on the target’s torso bulls-eye. In the course of a subsequent raid on the complex, the feds uncovered a weapons cache of military rifles that included American M-16s and M-14s and Soviet AK-47s.

The FBI now knew without doubt that a militant organization of thousands of African American Islamists were conducting paramilitary training on American soil, but, strange to say, no measures in the halcyon days before 9/11 have been undertaken to ban the group or to shut down the compounds. And so, ul-Fuqra continues to expand on American soil at an unabated rate – one recently popped up in Ailville, Georgia.

The federal officials failed to make note in their official report that the Buena Vista compound had been deeply mined and contained vast underground bunkers that were interconnected by a series of tunnels. The compound is now deserted; the property has been returned to its original owner; but the underground facilities remain virtually intact for all to see.

We must also work to protect our country against the next attack—terrorism spawned right here among us.

—Senator Joseph Lieberman

Brigitte Gabriel could not have put it better when she wrote:"Islamofacists are making maximum use of the civil, religious, and political freedoms that Americans treat so cavalierly. They plan to make an end-run around America by using our freedoms, and it seems to be working. The assumption that Americans will remain oblivious, complacent, preoccupied, ignorant and uninvolved is proving accurate - at least for now.

It’s this kind of ignorance that gives radical extremists the time and the opportunity to move one step closer to realizing their jihadist objectives of a global Islamic state."

Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. Islam doesn’t look for a nation to be in a better condition than another nation. Islam doesn’t care about the land or who owns the land. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy. In order to fulfill that goal, Islam can use every power available every way it can be used to bring worldwide revolution. This is jihad."
