Our enemies in Virginia

A chilling story about a fundamentalist Islamic School operating in the state of Virginia. A three parter at The Gates of Vienna. Part #1 Part #2 From today's entry (Part #3): (NOTE: Baron Bodissey is talking about a group called Jamaat ul-Fuqra (Arabic for "community of the impoverished"). This is a terrorist organization founded by a notorious Pakistani cleric, Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani.)

Jamaat ul-Everywhere
After my previous posts about Jamaat ul-Fuqra in Virginia (see parts one and two) I received a number of emails with tips and information about other Islamic locations in rural Virginia.

One of my correspondents was a man in Halifax County. He told me about a place in southern Charlotte County called "Muslim Teachers College," just across the Staunton River from his home. He said that he had been traveling over that way a few years back and had seen the sign for it.

So, following his directions, I mounted an expedition and went looking for the place. I drove up and down Route 607 along the river a couple of times, and couldn't see any sign for a Muslim college. So, as is my custom, I stopped in at a local country store near the hamlet of Formosa to ask about a nearby Muslim school.

"Oh, yeah, I know where it is," said the man behind the counter. He gave me directions to it: back the way I had come.

But before I left he asked me what a "Muslim school" was. I told him it was a private religious school, like a Catholic school.

"Oh," he said. "I always wondered what that was."

Baron finds the school and it appears to have been abandoned. But, a little work with Terraserver and some fact checking turns up a lot more questions than answers. It seems that there are some buildings that are not visible from the road and that the property is owned by the: "Dairy Hill Hunt Club" of which very little public record can be found. A few bits of information were found -- this announcement:

Muslim Teacher's College announces the opening of its demonstration school - The Clara Muhammad Boarding School. This, the latest addition to the college's educational complex, represents the culmination of several years of research. The curriculum taught in CMBS is strictly based on Qur'an.

and

"Our goal," said Imam Abdus-Sabur, "is to establish a model school and curriculum which could be duplicated throughout America."

CMBS will admit a very few select boys in fifth through eighth grade (ages 10 -13) this year.

Baron keeps digging and the resulting stench is worth knowing about. What are these people doing here?
