Islamberg: American Powderkeg?
This is the official website of a compound made up of Muslims in upstate NY.
But here is an exposé on the compound. Some troubling signs are emerging. At the bottom of the article is a map of others compounds. Key paragraph:
In the past, thousands of members of the U.S. branches of Jamaat ul-Fuqra traveled to Pakistan for paramilitary training, but encampments, such as Islamberg, are now capable of providing book-camp training so raw recruits are no longer required to travel abroad amidst the increased scrutiny of post 9/11.
I don't know all the players and the investigation by federal agents, but we need to shine a spotlight on things for a long time to come.
