New Tape Shows Terror Training on U.S. Soil
On the heels of a deadly FBI shootout with a radical imam in Detroit and a Muslim extremist in the military launching a shooting attack at Fort Hood killing 13 people, a new videotape has been publicized showing American Muslims training in similar tactics, almost without a doubt on American soil.
The tape was given to me as the national security researcher for the Christian Action Network by a reliable law enforcement source. This source has provided me with other credible information on the Jamaat ul-Fuqra group that operates in the U.S. under the name of “Muslims of America” and the International Quranic Open University, among others. Although the tape is of poor quality, it clearly shows African-American Muslim women fluent in English dressed in military-style camouflage receiving guerrilla warfare training, including hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, scaling fabricated walls, stealth maneuvering, and firing guns at a lake. They clearly are Americans and the training almost certainly takes place on U.S. soil.
The time stamp on the video is partially cut off, showing only “January 28, 20.” The last two appearing digits indicate that it was filmed in the year 2000 at the earliest. My source said it is believed that the video was taken at a place called “Islamberg” in New York, an isolated 70-acre community in the Catskill Mountains that serves as the group’s headquarters in the U.S. Martin Mawyer, the president of the Christian Action Network, is certain this is the case by comparing the footage to aerial photos his organization took of various Muslims of America sites around the country.
This tape comes in addition to another tape obtained by the Christian Action Network that formed the basis of its Homegrown Jihad documentary released earlier this year. The tape shows Sheikh Mubarak Gilani, the founder and leader of Jamaat ul-Fuqra and Muslims of America, training his recruits in hijacking vehicles, murdering guards, various forms of hand-to-hand combat, use of explosives and firearms, and other techniques any wannabe jihadist would need education in. In the film, Gilani specifically says that those watching the film can take their “advanced training courses in Islamic military warfare” by contacting any of his Quranic Open University offices in the U.S., Canada, or Pakistan.
The tape is powerful evidence of the intent behind the construction of these sites but lacks a filming date or location. This second tape proves that the training is occurring on U.S. soil and it was done, at the least, in the past decade. If such paramilitary training is still going on at Islamberg, it would not be the only Muslims of America site doing so.
Don’t expect an investigation by this administration unless there’s evidence that Tea Partiers are involved.
This is an open secret, Jamaat al-Fuqra boot-camp compounds in the dozens across America. Its the MSM’s biggest ignored story.
Anyone have any news on Obama Youth military training? I’ve not seen anything in quite a while. Is the president still training a private army while he leaves and intentionally neglects the real one overseas? If there is a private loyalist army being trained, it’s being kept REALLY quiet.
Not to worry. When we have had enough, we will take care of things. We are watching and waiting. We will not sacrifice anymore of our people on the altar of political correctness and diversity. Obviously, these people have not read the history of the civil war, ww1 and ww2.
Welcome to Ryan Mauro’s world of delusion. By the way, your link to the tape states “stream not available at this time”. If you have this tape why does the link go to a local news station? If this tape is so powerful, do you think you could have gone the extra mile and hosted the video yourself?

Anonymous gets to be on the frontline.
The video has been pulled. Can we get it somewhere else?

This makes no sense. If the tape was given to you, then why is the link to a television station website? And why is it not available there. Certainly, your entire case is built on how explosive this tape is, and you claim that the tape was given to you personally. Yet, you don’t have access to the tape and there is no evidence that it even exists. Are you really expecting to be taken seriously?
Are you going to answer Anonymous’ questionS?
Many people in the US have NO idea what will be unleashed upon them until it will be too late.
There is zero doubt that Islamic jihad style training is happening at quite a few compounds ALL over the US.
The real question is why the FBI is not shutting them down, as it is against the law to have para military training on US soil.
Surely the authorities are privy to much information which would assist them in closing the jihadi camps, plus put many of them in jail on illegal weapons charges.
The streets in the US will sooner, rather than later resemble the streets in Israel at the height of the intifadas. The people never knew when an explosion, mass shooting was going to happen.IF not for the security fence & some excellent intel the bodies would still be piling up.
US citizens should be aware that when the jihad hits the streets it will be partly because the authorities did NOT take pre-emptive action.Count on the authorities though to react with feigned concern and tough guy rhetoric.Regardless, dead is dead.
Okay. So where is the tape? I’ll share this on my fb page as soon as I see the video.
Would you please post the address of the compounds inside the United States? Thanks.
If Mohammed did it, why is it considered extreme Islam?

Originally, the T.V. report had all the excerpts that were really necessary. I have the tape in my possession and we are working on getting some sort of excerpts online. I apologize, we did not anticipate that happening and am working hard to correct it as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.
Some obvious questions -
(i) Do these training camps show up on, say, Google Earth?
(ii) Are the trainees mainly Arab immigrants? Pakistani immigrants? Black Americans?
You need to change the headline, then, don’t you? If you had any integrity, you’d have already done it. There’s currently no reason to trust you–you’ve only responded because several posters insisted on it. Otherwise your link would still be there, giving the impression that there is a tape, when there is no evidence of such. If you want to be taken seriously as a journalist, and not just an anti-Islamic hack, then show some discipline.
I’ve taken screen shots of your article, the bogus link and your response here. Waiting for you to change the link, and all references to it, and the title. Its quite clear–given the fact that there is currently no tape–that these are lies and possible slander. Block my post if you wish. It doesn’t stop the fact that the proof of your low-level of evidence for your inflammatory accusations is non-existent.
I’ve also contacted WSBTV and informed them that they are the only source for your assertion.
Don’t worry, we are working on getting some excerpts up. If you’d like, shoot me an email and I’ll notify you when they are up. And to Tom Swift: While Sheikh Gilani is in Pakistan, the Muslims of the Americas recruits are American citizens and almost entirely African-American.

Five hours and no hint of this mysterious “tape”. What format is this “tape”…it should take no time at all to digitize? Why haven’t you posted the links on PJM, which has extensive video-hosting capabilities? Why isn’t it on Youtube for that matter? How is it that the news station has access to it, if its in your possession? Why did they remove their report on the same day they posted it?
The issue of Islamic Terrorist Training Centers in the U.S. (Jamaat ul-Fuqra)has been covered in depth at Gates of Vienna.
Check it out:

Fascinating.

Having clicked and watched the twenty minute clip that you posted, I have no trouble seeing why WSBTV pulled its story nor why you were so hesitant to provide it; and every reason to ask you if you are under the care of a mental health care professional. Seriously, I’m not joking. This is your smoking gun? Twenty three hazy minutes of video showing a bunch of people fooling around in fatigues? With no date and no contextualizing information? What is it that you want people to see in this rorschach. More importantly, what is it you see Ryan Mauro? This is proof of absolutely nothing. The tape does not even suggest any of the following:
Baseless Assertion 1: “a new videotape has been publicized showing American Muslims training in similar tactics, almost without a doubt on American soil.”. There is nothing to suggest from these tapes that these people are Muslim.
Baseless Assertion 2: “it clearly shows African-American Muslim women fluent in English dressed in military-style camouflage receiving guerrilla warfare training, including hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, scaling fabricated walls, stealth maneuvering, and firing guns at a lake. They clearly are Americans and the training almost certainly takes place on U.S. soil.” Nothing that you posted suggests anything of the kind. This is laughable inflation of what is shown on the videos you yourself posted. There is nothing to suggest that all of the people here are African American, nor that it has any relevance. Indeed, as to that latter fact, one must wonder what the significance is for you that you happened to see one purportedly African American face there.
Having clicked and watched the twenty minute clip
Would that it were twenty minutes. Instead twenty three seconds. The word absurd was not designed to characterize such silliness.
I really need that address for Jamaat ul Fuqra compound in Talihina, Oklahoma so I can send a nice Christmas card.
Thanks,
BTW, most of the information on this terror group is being held by the government, because HLS does not want the public to see how far this nation as gone to Lefturdsville.
ROPMA!
So we don’t learn from history. I just finished a very Islam-friendly religious history course and the entire religion was spread by the sword by their own prophet. Convert or die, there weren’t any other options. Can we afford this here? Can we sit idly by and let this happen? Other religions have tried the same, but most just end up converting to the local traditions, rather than the other way around. With Islam its not even a choice of tolerance, no matter what the Koran says. The leaders of the religion teach a path of intolerance and conflict.
Having studied and worked in counter terrorism, I have learned much about religious extremists, from Islamists to Catholics in Ireland. Words do very little to turn them, as they hold fast to the fact their cause is just, no matter who gets hurt. If intolerant supremacist groups can be shut down for forming compounds where they trained, why cant we do the same to Islamists?
I saw the tape … all I did was click on the word “tape” in the text.
I think our military special forces should attack and destroy these jihad training camps on American soil.
Thanks for a well written and documented article.
As a Jewess in the US, I would like to remind all that America wasn’t won with a registered gun! Remember also that terrorists and criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk. That is why all REAL Americans must put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!
Nice work Mauro. Seriously, you need to really screw up to get your work taken off the front of the PJM site. They’ll publish nearly anything. Did the WSBtv threaten to sue you for claiming that their site was your proof, rather than this silly twenty second video that shows nothing clearly except that you are either delusional or a fraud.
Remember also that terrorists and criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk. That is why all REAL Americans must put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!
Hilarious. Had this video actually proven anything, it would have been that the 2nd amendment also protects “terrorists” rights to bear arms. Hello, brain.
#32,
The video is not the only information of the above stated compounds. The Imam that started these compounds reads like a true follower of Mohammed.
I wonder if those harmed by individuals connected to Jamaat ul Fuqra have had a good laugh.
My review of Ryan Mauro’s comments showed he identified some active participants in the tape as being African Americans (presumably people of color). How was he able to do this?
Indeed, Napalm. I saw one woman who appeared to be African American. I couldn’t identify the race of any other individuals. Its not even clear where this tape was made, when or by whom or for what reason. The only thing this proves is that Ryan Mauro is a hack trying to provide reasons for the job of Islam-Sheriff he’s created for himself. I bet he also has the names of fifty, no make that fifty-two Muslims in Congress.
Funny that someone without enough courage to type in their own name attacks the messenger and not the message. There are many other sites that carry this story (of course, none of the PC alphabet networks would touch this anti-PC story with a ten foot pole). If you bother to look, instead of trying to get a rise out of this author, you might find your time better served.
On the other hand, if you’re just here to spread disinformation and deny that there’s a problem…well, I guess your time is best used “as-is”.
