FBI CONFIRMS JIHADI TRAINING CAMPS IN AMERICA

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

Newly-released FBI documents obtained by Clarion Project confirm
Clarion’s reports that Jamaat ul-Fuqra is training members in isolated
communes across America and Canada.

The group’s “Islamberg” headquarters in upstate New York is its most well-known “Islamic village.”
Fuqra, which now goes by the name of the Muslims of the Americas (MOA)
among other titles, is a cultish Islamist group with a history of crime
and terrorism. The group is led by Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani in
Pakistan.
Gilani’s name appeared in headlines in 2002 when Wall Street Journal
reporter Daniel Pearl was abducted and beheaded on his way to interview
Gilani, though the radical cleric was never accused of an involvement in
those crimes.
The first FBI document is dated November 27, 2009 and labels the
Muslims of the Americas, Inc. as “armed and dangerous.” It begins by
summarizing the group’s consistent history of extremism, terrorism and
crime:
“Jamaat ul-Fuqra, aka Muslims of the Americas (MOA), have a history
of violence and/or violent acts. Use extreme caution when dealing with
confirmed members or individuals who are believed to be associated with
this group”
The report says that Sheikh Gilani is “thought to be supportive of
al-Qaeda,” perhaps referring to the group’s links to al-Qaeda affiliates
like Hizbul Mujahideen, to which Fuqra has a history of ties and
publicly supports even today.
FBI documents from 2003 that Clarion released in December 2016
mentioned Fuqra’s links to al-Qaeda in Pakistan and use of fronts like
security companies in America.
Another newly-released document from December 2010 explicitly refers
to “the Muslims of the Americas [aka Fuqra] terrorist organization” and
states:
“The MOA [Fuqra] is composed primarily of black American Muslim
converts, many who converted to Islam while in prison. Many MOA members
reside in rural communities (jamaats) to live and worship free from
non-Muslim influence.
The MOA jamaats are located on land that has been privately owned or
rented by members. Each jamaat usually has numerous trailers where
members reside, a mosque, and a guard post, some with armed guards, at
the entrance to the properties.

These communities, similar to commune type facilities, have women and
children residing in them with the children being homeschooled.
Organized training is also conducted to include weapons training,
tactics, hand-to-hand combat, rappelling, and live-fire exercises.”
We have posted these declassified reports on FuqraFiles.com, Clarion Project’s comprehensive website about the group.
Fuqra has a documented history of conducting basic paramilitary
training in America and elsewhere, including more advanced training in
Pakistan and Kashmir.
Gilani appeared in a secret video in the early 1990s offering to use
Fuqra offices to provide guerilla training to aspiring jihadists.
Clarion Project also released a video from 2001-2002 showing women in
military attire getting training at Islamberg.
One of Fuqra’s terrorist-training camps, a 101-acre tract of land in
Colorado, was raided in 1992. It was subsequently abandoned by the
group, as reported in this recent KRDO news report with Heather Skold.
You can see pictures from the investigation into the Colorado Fuqra camp
on the Fuqra Files website.
Fuqra fugitives from the training camp were even the subject of an episode of America’s Most Wanted in 1994.
Although these FBI documents from 2009-2011 state that Fuqra has
about a dozen “jamaats” in America, the group itself claims to have 22
“Islamic villages” in America alone.

The locations for these “Islamic villages” are identified as
“Islamberg” in New York, as well as other villages in Virginia, South
Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Michigan, Canada and Trinidad and
Tobago.

FBI reports from a 2003-2007 investigation in Texas warned, “The MOA
[Fuqra] is now an autonomous organization which possesses an
infrastructure capable of planning and mounting terrorist campaigns
overseas and within the U.S.”
That infrastructure can legally operate because Fuqra is not
designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the State Department.
The Treasury Department has not sanctioned the group’s overseas leaders
and entities, either.
Over a dozen North American Muslim groups have joined Clarion Project
in asking the U.S. State Department to look at designating Fuqra as a
Foreign Terrorist Organization.
The Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms
recently confirmed to Clarion Project that it still has Fuqra members
under investigation. ATF has prosecuted Fuqra members on
firearms-related charges, including illegal possession of guns.
Clarion Project also recently reported that Fuqra’s General Counsel,
Tahirah Amatul-Wadud, is running for Congress in Massachusetts.
