Fuqra New York!

The invaluable Captain Jack at Flying Imams points us to another sighting of Jamaat Al Fuqra at "Islamberg" in upstate New York. Actually this is a pretty well known encampment of theirs; I don't know that we even know where all of their camps around the rural US are actually based. This detail was new to me:

Even though Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been involved in terror attacks and sundry criminal activities, recruited thousands of members from federal and state penal systems, and appears to be operating paramilitary facilities for militant Muslims, it remains to be placed on the official US Terror Watch List. On the contrary, it continues to operate, flourish, and expand as a legitimate nonprofit, tax-deductible charity.

Here's some other stuff I've written about al-Fuqra in Georgia (also here) and California.
