SCHOOL ATTACKS & HAMAATS [Part 1]

I recently heard a report titled The Perfect Day concerning potential terrorist threats on American schools. Instead of taking the report at face value though validated by credible experts, I embarked on my own journey to substantiate the threat. What I discovered was not only dead on with The Perfect Day, but disturbingly old news. This threat has been bantered about since before 2006. Did you catch that? The threat to our children’s safety is well over a year old. And that is just the tip of the iceberg regarding what I learned in my research.

Perhaps it was the close proximity to September 11 that sparked my interest in The Perfect Day, or maybe it was simply that I have two small children in school. Regardless of the reason, I felt compelled to learn as much about the threat as I could through my limited means. What I found anyone can find for him or herself – it was no great feat. But, how many will take the time to investigate? Instead, many will simply hide his or herself under the blanket and hope the boogie man goes away.

Let’s review the facts:
  • Terrorist chatter is ramping up and signs point towards coordinated attacks on rural American schools.
  • Elementary schools and/or daycare facilities without police presence and in states without concealed carry laws are perpetrated due to being “soft targets” [lack of resistance and goals of unspeakable acts of violence].
  • A terrorist camp in Afghanistan was training Al-Qaeda members to invade schools while giving commands in English.
  • A diskette containing architect plans, blue prints, and Department of Education security measures for American schools were confiscated in Iraq.
  • Al-Qaeda plans discovered include how to surveil, invade, and hold schools hostage, but no exit strategy.
  • Terrorist attacks on schools have already occurred in Russia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq, Indonesia, and Thailand to the tune of over 500 attacks.
  • Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda leaders publicly profess to kill four million Americans, with two million of those being children.
  • In 2006 two Middle Eastern males dressed in trench coats boarded a school bus in Tampa, Florida and refused to exit.
  • An Arab male using falsified Social Security documents tried to gain employment as a school bus driver in New York.
  • Seventeen school busses stolen and still missing from Texas.
  • Hundreds of school bus communication devices stolen from the Pacific Northeast.
  • September 11, 2007 in Issaquah, WA, fire destroyed a school bus on state Route 900 near Interstate 90. Authorities stated the bus did not appear to belong to a school district. There was no one on board when the fire erupted. Witnesses said they saw the driver, a man, walk away from the bus. Investigators are looking for the man.
  • Terrorists are already embedded in American communities. As were in Beslan, Russia. Nearly half of the terrorist in the Beslan attack were embedded in the community, some even escaping following the siege to nearby homes of sympathizers. Volunteer stretcher bearers were also confirmed terrorist.
While plugging in one of my requests on the intranet, the search engine turned up another interesting report which appeared eerily coincidental. Apparently, there is a growing population of hamaats in the United States. These paramilitary compounds have sprung up nationwide. A conservative estimate projects more than 38 hamaats with members exceeding five thousand in the United States.

Located outside Hancock, New York near the Cannonsville Reservoir and Watershed Area is a guarded 70-acre hamaat named Islamberg. Islamberg is a sect of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization founded by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani. Gilani has been under constant scrutiny for suspected terrorist ties since the early nineties. The Islamberg location is the North American Headquarters and houses hundreds of African American Muslims sporting vehicles with license plates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Residents are employed as tollbooth operators for the New York State Thruway, utility workers in Finger Lakes, steel mill workers near Buffalo, and at credit card processing centers.

Another Gilani sponsored 50-acre compound is situated in Red House, Virginia with neighboring hamaats in Prince George County (25 acres), Campbell County (100+ acres), and Bedford County. Prior to September 11, 2001, poised at the gated entrance was an armed guard shack. Subsequently, the gate and guard shack were removed. However, visitors from Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan still frequent the complex.

Dover, Tennessee is home to another hamaat. This hamaat is strategically located right along a power line easement, TVA’s Cumberland Fossil Plant, and Fort Campbell Military base.

These compounds are popping up in almost every state nationwide. Is there one in your backyard? Here are some of the known locations:
  • Marion, Alabama
  • Augusta, Commerce, & Macon, Georgia
  • Talihina, Oklahoma
  • York County, South Carolina
  • Roanoke, Falls Church, Prince George County, Campbell County, & Bedford County, Virginia
  • Hyattsville, Maryland
  • Tulare County & Commerce, California
  • Onalaska, Washington
  • Sherman, Pennsylvania
  • Colorado
  • Michigan

To better understand the growing concern about these hamaats, first you need to know a bit more about the founder of them. Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani refers to himself as “The Sixth Sultan Ul Faqr” with supernatural powers and the ability to receive regular visits from non-human beings. In 1979, Gilani spawned the theory that he could “purify Islam through violence” by using poor African Americans from the inner cities of New York and New Jersey. This idea was conceived on the basis that Gilani was convinced that most African Americans harbored hatred for the United States. Thus, The National Islamic Prison Foundation was created. This group reports 150,000 Muslim conversions per year, resulting in over 40% of the American Muslim population being African Americans. Only 10% of the American Muslim population is actually of Arab decent.

In 1993, Gilani attended an international gathering of jihadis. In attendance was: Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, The Popular & Democratic Fronts for the Liberation of Palestine, and Osama Bin Laden. The film footage showed them ranting, “Down, down with the USA! Down, down with the CIA! Death to the Jews!”

What makes these Gilani hamaats of such great concern?

  • Located in sparsely populated rural areas.
  • Conveniently situated near significant infrastructure targets.
  • Receive routine deliveries by unmarked box-style trucks.
  • Armed sentry posts at entrance.
  • Frequent sounds of gunfire and explosions.
  • Windows to some of the homes have been semi-blocked with bricks.
  • Contain underground bunkers.
  • Military training areas equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, wooden fences for scaling, make-shift obstacle courses, and firing ranges.
  • Neighboring residents complain of harassing behavior from the hamaat members such as, menacing looks or demands for passer-bys to “mind their own business.”
  • School bus with windows that appear to be blown out – from the inside out and the outside shell riddled with bullet holes.

Did you catch the last, perhaps most important detail? They are not only telling us what they are going to do, but they are showing us as well. Are you paying attention?

If you are not convinced yet, take a gander at the Muslims of Americas, Inc. affiliates:

  • Dignitaries from the Middle East
  • Numerous members convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, fire-bombings, gun-smuggling, and worker’s compensation fraud.
  • Leading suspects in ten unsolved assassinations and seventeen fire-bombings.
  • 2004 Federal Investigation revealing evidence linking John Allen Muhammed, “DC Sniper”, and Richard Reid, “Shoe Bomber”, to the group.
  • Randall “Ismail” Royer, an American convert to Islam and former official of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) federally convicted for conspiring with a foreign terrorist group to engage in jihadist combat in foreign nations friendly to the United States.
  • Earnest James UJAAMA, a/k/a Bilal AHMED, (a Muslim convert born James Earnest Thompson) attempted to set up a hamaat near Bly, Oregon.
  • In 2001, member of a California hamaat charged with shooting a sheriff’s deputy and another member charged with gun-smuggling.
  • Twenty-four members of the Red House, VA hamaat convicted of firearms violations.
  • Members investigated for alleged terrorist acts including murder and arson in New York, Detroit, Philadelphia, Toronto, Denver, Los Angeles, and Tucson.
  • Associates were also instrumental in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
  • August 2006--US Representative from Minnesota's 5th Congressional District Keith Ellison, a/k/a Keith Hakim, Keith X Ellison and Keith Ellison-Muhammad, appears at unpublicizied fundraiser with CAIR executive director and Hamas supporter Nihad Awad among other featured guests.
  • Gilani himself, at one time was in Pakistani custody for the abduction of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
