Federal authorities urged to shut down radical Islamic compounds

One of the United States' foremost critics of Islam believes federal officials should take action to shut down several radical Muslim paramilitary compounds that have sprung up around the country.



Several reports have been published about the suspicious activities in the village of Islamberg in upstate New York. It is reportedly one of about a dozen radical Muslim compounds that have sprung up all over the country. National defense analyst Bob Maginnis says its members are apparently involved in paramilitary activities.

"They are constantly firing. They don't allow outsiders in. They adhere strictly to Islamic law. They are mostly populated with former inmates who had become Islamic [while in prison]. And they carry weapons and they're constantly exploding things on the terrain," says Maginnis.

Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, believes Islamberg and the other compounds need to be shut down.

"Those groups come out of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which is a very dangerous group in its own right," he explains. "And I'm glad to see recently that with the publicity given to Islamberg that the law enforcement officials are now investigating it. It needs to be investigated and closed down along with the others like it."

Spencer shares the concerns of citizens who live near the compound who cannot understand why the FBI has not already shut Islamberg down.

They certainly do need to shut these compounds down!!!  After reading "Inside the Jihad", it makes me much, much more aware of the danger.  It's bad enough these training compounds are in Afghanistan....we sure don't need them in our own country....training people to hate and kill us.
