One of the investigators who worked on a report about terror
training camps operating inside the United States describes the network as
no more or less than an infrastructure for attack.
WND previously reported on a documentary called "Homegrown
Jihad: Terrorist Training Camps Around the U.S.," and how it
offers evidence that "Muslims of America" operates a series of
training camps in the U.S.
Jason Campbell is project manager for the Christian Action Network, which
was behind the training camps investigation.
He described for WND some of his visits to the camps, which have been
located in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma
Michigan, Colorado, California and Washington.
"The one that really gets you concerned is in Georgia," he said.
"You go down a road and all of a sudden it's just woods, and there are
two roads that go straight down to the camp. It's dark because of the
trees. And one of the roads is named Mecca and the other Medina."

the trailer for "Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Training Camps Around the
U.S." and share it with your neighbors, your local police officials
and your representatives in Congress.
"If there ever was an infrastructure for terrorism, this is it,"
he told WND.
He said the camps themselves are in remote areas with few neighbors, and
mostly self-sufficient, such as having their own water supply and often
food stores. They also are closed to outsiders, with the women sometimes
taking off-campus jobs, but little other interaction.
"If you died there, they bury you there," he said. "There
are no permits from the Department of Health…"
A video has been created describing the investigation:
Campbell also said the camps he's visited have a mosque and frequently the
living conditions are "miserable."
The locations are run by Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt
organization, and it has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat
ul-Fuqra. The organization operates communes of primarily black,
American-born Muslims throughout the U.S. The investigation confirmed
members commonly use aliases and intentional spelling variations of their
names and routinely deny the existence of Jamaat ul-Fuqra.

The group openly recruits through various social service organizations in
the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in compounds where they
agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be
above local, state and federal authority.
U.S. authorities have probed the group for charges ranging from links to
al-Qaida to laundering and funneling money into Pakistan for terrorist
activities. The organization supports various terrorist groups operating in
Pakistan and Kashmir, and follows Sheikh Mubarak Gilani.
He boasts of conducting "the most advanced training courses in Islamic
military warfare."
The jihadist organization is thought to be responsible for nearly 50
attacks on American soil, but the U.S. government refuses to list it among
foreign terrorists.
In a recruitment video captured from Gilani's "Soldiers of Allah,"
Gilani states in English: "We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We
are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America."
Jamaat ul-Fuqra is thought to have been responsible for the beheading
murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan.
The documentary called "Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Training Camps
Around the U.S." provides compelling evidence of how "Muslims of
America" operates, and already has caught the attention of neighbors
and local police officials.
Gilani's American headquarters is in Hancock, N.Y., where training is
provided to recruits who are later sent to Pakistan for more jihadist
paramilitary training, according to law enforcement authorities.
A Justice Department report to law enforcement agencies, prepared in 2006,
provides a glimpse into how long Jamaat ul-Fuqra or "Muslims of
America" has been operating inside the U.S.: "Over the past two
decades, a terrorist group known as Jamaat ul-Fuqra, or 'Community of the
Impoverished,' has been linked to multiple murders, bombings and various
other felonies throughout the United States and Canada."
Gilani's "communes" are described by law enforcement as
"classically structured terrorist cells."

As WND reported, a covert visit to a Jamaat ul-Fuqra encampment in upstate
New York by the Northeast Intelligence Network found neighboring residents
deeply concerned about military-style training taking place there but
frustrated by the lack of attention from federal authorities.
Campbell told WND the compounds raise his concern because of their
proximity in Georgia to a prison, in New York to a water supply and other
such circumstances.
He said the information about the camps has come from law enforcement
sources, from the organization's own investigation, and, tellingly, from
information from insiders who have left.

Jihadist who
abandoned violence for Christianity
 Kamal Saleem was trained in terror starting
at age 7 at a PLO assault camp, learning to know and hate his enemies, was
indoctrinated in radical Islam on his mother's knee and studied with his
father how to despise Christians and Jews.
He's told his story in the book, "The
Blood of Lambs: A Former Terrorist's Memoir of Death and Redemption,"
as well as in a gripping DVD
called "In the Red Chair," where he describes how he used to
use his power – all of it – to change the world for Islam.
He dined with Moammar Gadhafi, his website says he served under Yasser
Arafat and has Arab royalty in his family tree and he worked as a career
mercenary, taking his terror activities worldwide. Ultimately, he was
recruited by the Saudi royal family to infiltrate the United States with a
campaign of radical Islam.
 But Kamal Saleem now has renounced
terrorism, adopted a home in America, found Christ and has spoken against
terror and radical Islam at universities across the nation.
How could this change happen?
Actually, as he explains of his own life and its changes, it was a severe
accident that broke his back and the love of a Jewish man, Jesus, that
ultimately put him on the right course.
It is an amazing personal story that every Christian and every American
should read: "The
Blood of Lambs: A Former Terrorist's Memoir of Death and Redemption."
"My car was very small and it has a T-top, so when the 18-wheeler
broad-sided me, I ejected from car and landed on my head in a mud hole
upside down," he recalls.
"I cried out for Allah, but Allah didn't come to save me. I cried,
'Allah where are you?'" Saleem added.
Rescuers, doctors and hospital staff then introduced him to something he
had never seen. He says he was shown the unconditional love of God,
something that is foreign to Islam.
"In Islam, everything is conditional. For example, in the Quran, there
is not one place where Allah says 'I love my people,' not once. The word
love is not mentioned in the Quran," Saleem said.
 In his surgeon's house, Saleem says he was
amazed by the love everyone showed to him. He also says it was in the
doctor's house that he also noticed something special about Christian
marriage and the treatment of women.
"Women in our (Islamic) culture are nothing. They are equal to the
goat or the rug. Her purpose is to be married to her husband to give him
pleasure. When a husband marries a wife, he purchases her sexual
organs," Saleem said.
Saleem has a warning for the Western world: "Islam is like a cancer.
It grows and expands until it eventually consumes and suffocates the
host."
He says his knowledge of the Muslim Brotherhood's mission and methods
compels him to warn Americans about what is happening under the radar in
their own country.
"The Muslim Brotherhood is here specifically to destroy the house of
the United States of America and bring about the Islamic House and that's
done by the Muslim's hand," Saleem explained.
"And it’s not the just the Muslims who came to the United States for
this purpose, but also those they recruited in the United States as
Americans and have turned them against this country." Click
here for Kamal Saleem's full story in "The Blood of Lambs: A Former
Terrorist's Memoir of Death and Redemption," and click
here for the DVD titled "In the Red Chair."
Saleem adds by now Islam even has reached the sanctuaries of Christian
churches and campuses of Christian colleges.
"Even in Christian schools today, you find Islamic history professors
whose papers are done on the glory of Allah and Islam and Muhammad, right
there on Christian universities," Saleem said.
"These guys are the first allies and the best allies to Islam. So,
when someone speaks of Islam, they try to destroy the person's character
instantly because they (the professor) have become a war machine,"
Saleem said.
Saleem says one of the most insidious ways jihad and Shariah law is
infiltrating the U. S. is through the courts. He cites the recent Florida
case in which a judge ordered Shariah law be used to settle a mosque
leadership dispute.
"What they're trying to do is fake cases for Islam and these cases are
done purposefully. We take an imam, there are two of them. They were
fighting against each other and the fight was over a mosque," Saleem
explained.
"That is so devious and it is part of the culture of Islamic invasion.
These two imams are fighting over a mosque in Florida. Each imam says it
belongs to me," Saleem said,
"One says I built it and I raised the funds. The other one says the
Wahhabi government put me over here and they're the ones who sent the
money. Both of them are right," Saleem continued.
"They went to the Supreme Court in Florida. What happened is that they
said this was a Muslim matter and you need to judge us by Islamic Shariah
law or you will not understand how these things work," Saleem added.
"Both of them are demanding to be judged by Shariah so now the Supreme
Court is learning how Shariah works. So, in turn, they have instilled and
indwelt Islamic laws with our laws," Saleem said.
Saleem says that the effort to install Shariah law into the United States
should be treated like "any other act of terrorism because they are
terrorizing this country."
Saleem says what's happening should be prayed against.
"That's what we need to speak against and pray against because it is
the essence of evil." Saleem declared.
Read Kamal Saleem's story in the new book, "The
Blood of Lambs: A Former Terrorist's Memoir of Death and Redemption,"
and watch him tell it firsthand in the new DVD
called "In the Red Chair."

Glenn Beck raves about:
The
Islamic Antichrist
Glenn Beck gave a big boost for an older WND
Books product saying Americans should be alarmed over the revelations of "The
Islamic Antichrist," in which author Joel Richardson documents the
similarities between the "bad guy" of the Bible, the Antichrist,
and the "good guy" of the Quran, the Mahdi.
Beck's promotion drove the 2-year-old book all the way up to the top 10
spot in Amazon rankings.
The author of "The
Islamic Antichrist" contends the Antichrist and the Mahdi are, in
fact, the same.
"You have to look at this, really ask yourself, 'Wow, is this
true?'" Beck said.
He also cited the Islamic teachings that some Muslims like Iran President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad believe – that they can speed the coming of the Madhi,
their end-times savior, by creating chaos, from which they expect him to
emerge.
Beck, applying such a belief to Christianity, suggested, "What do you
say we go start slaughtering people so Jesus will come back."
Read
it for yourself, "The Islamic Antichrist."
Richardson's book discusses his analysis of the Bible's account of the end
times and that of the Quran, including his conclusions about the
"Antichrist," who is described by the Bible as the ultimate enemy
of God and His people, the Jews and Christians. The Mahdi, meanwhile, in
Islam is forecast to be someone who comes to establish a worldwide Islamic
caliphate.
Following the broadcast, the book's ranking on Amazon shot up, hitting the
top 10 among all books only hours later. It was rated No. 1 in books on
theology and No. 3 in books on eschatology.
Beck cited a number of similarities between the prophecies, that of Jesus
from the Bible and of the Mahdi in the Islamic tradition.
"You have the bad guy of the Bible, he primarily persecutes God's
people, Jews and Christians," Richardson said. Meanwhile the
"12th imam," or Islam's Mahdi, "causes Jews and Christians
to submit to Islam or be killed."
Both prophecies call for a time of rule of 7 years, a leader of the world
who makes peace with Israel, then breaks the accord, then invades Israel
and kills nonbelievers, setting up a seat of government on the Temple
Mount.
While the biblical Antichrist is evil personified, the culmination of
antagonism to God and His word, Richardson
described in a column for WND the Islamic perspective:
"The Mahdi is Islam's primary messiah figure Muslims believe will come
at the end of the age to lead Islam to global dominance. Much popular
discussion of Mahdism in recent years has inaccurately expressed that
belief in the Mahdi is merely a Shia phenomenon. While variances in the
details do exist between Sunni and Shia Muslims on this issue, belief in
the Mahdi is nevertheless not reserved to one group or the other. Numerous
renowned Muslim scholars, Sunni, Sufi and Shia affirm the orthodoxy of
belief in the coming of the Mahdi."
Beck noted that the Mahdi story results in a character that is the
"polar opposite" of the biblical prophecy, and another guest,
Zuhdi Jasser, of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, agreed.
He described himself as moderate Muslim and said the belief that Muslims
can speed the return of their savior is "toxic."
Richardson said, "In both stories, Jesus returns. On the biblical
side, Jesus returns to deliver his people from being persecuted. On the
Islamic, a Muslim Jesus tells the Christians of the world, 'You've had it
wrong all along. I never said God was my father. I never died on the
cross.'"
Beck played video of Ahmadinejad repeatedly saying during his speeches,
"Oh God, hasten the arrival of Imam al-Madhi and grant him good health
and victory."
That, Beck, said is the reason some Muslims seek chaos, and Richardson
explained that is because it is from chaos they expect their Madhi to come.
Other commenters included retired Lt. Gen William G. Boykin, who said
Iran's activities these days show it is "trying to establish
themselves as the leader of the Islamic revolution."
And Richardson had noted in a recent WND column that when Iran launched a
surface-to-surface missile, it had the words "Ya Mahdi"
emblazoned on its body – the equivalent of "Go Mahdi."
Boykin noted Muslims believe their savior's return can happen only when
"bloodshed and chaos" are worldwide.
"What circumstance," he questioned, would bring that about more
quickly "than using nuclear weapons against the nation of
Israel?"
Media Matters for America launched an immediate response, called, "Who
is Joel Richardson, Beck's End Times Prophet?"
It noted that Beck's website has published writings by Richardson, and the
author also appears in a new video by Beck that talks about the threat of a
nuclear Iran to the U.S. and Israel.
Richardson's book also takes on the popular assumption among Christians
that the Antichrist will come from a revived Roman Empire, which many have
assumed is associated with the Roman Catholic Church and the European
Union.
"The Bible abounds with proofs that the Antichrist's empire will
consist only of nations that are, today, Islamic," Richardson
explains. "Despite the numerous prevailing arguments for the emergence
of a revived European Roman empire as the Antichrist's power base, the
specific nations the Bible identifies as comprising his empire are today
all Muslim."
Richardson believes the key error of many previous prophecy scholars
involves the misinterpretation of a prediction by Daniel to Babylonian King
Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel describes the rise and fall of empires of the
future, leading to the end times. Western Christians have viewed one of
those empires as Rome, when, claims Richardson, Rome never actually conquered
Babylon and was thus disqualified as a possibility.
It had to be another empire that rose and fell and rose again that would
lead to rule of this "man of sin," described in the Bible. That
empire, he says, is the Islamic Empire, which did conquer Babylon and, in
fact, rules over it even today.
Those who are unaware of the similarities of the prophecies for the
Antichrist and the Mahdi will be stunned by chapters including
"Islamic Eschatology," "The Sacred Texts of Islam,"
"Comparing the Biblical Antichrist and the Mahdi," and "The
Dark Nature of Muhammad's Revelations."
The author is a human rights activist, lecturer and artist. He is also the
co-author with Walid Shoebat of "God's War on Terror" and
co-editor of "Why We Left Islam: Former Muslims speak out."
"Sound,
responsible scholarship. A timely breakthrough in biblical eschatology, The Islamic Antichrist
presents a captivating paradigm that will profoundly change your
perspective on the endtimes."
– Jeremy
Ray,
Sr. Pastor, Old Washington United Methodist Church, Ohio
"Joel Richardson provides a weighty analysis of Islam and its
messianic figure. The Islamic Antichrist
is central to recognizing the fulfillment of biblical endtimes prophecy
in our day and understanding the role Islam plays in it."
– Pastor
Reza D. Safa,
former radical Muslim, author of Inside

- You
won't believe where Christians in the Middle East are most threatened
– Iraq! Find out why in "Facing Extinction: Assyrian Christians
in Iraq." Each day thousands of Aramaic-speaking Assyrians
(the language of Christ) are enduring unjust persecution because of
their Christian Faith. The crew traveled into threatened Christian
communities to film the stories in this program. Included is actual
footage, filmed by the terrorists themselves, performing acts of
violence against innocent Assyrians. The Iraqi government shows no
interest in protecting the Christians, the Pentagon is ignoring the
situation, and the United States State Department has no mandate
allowing Assyrian Christians to immigrate to America. These conditions
are the making of another twenty-first century holocaust involving
hundreds of thousands of Christians. The future of Assyrian Christians
in Iraq rests with us all. Narrated by Jim Caviezel (The Passion of
the Christ). Commentary by United States Sen. Carl Levin, Rep. Anna
Eshoo, and Rep. Frank Wolf.
 A new video about the martyrdom of three Christian
workers at the hands of Islamic activists in Turkey reveals that while
the government's case against the alleged killers continues in turmoil
and confusion, the Christian community in the Muslim nation views the
tragedy as the will of God. "Malatya,"
available now as the April 18 fourth anniversary of the deaths
approaches, is from Austin Stone Community Church, Voice of the
Martyrs and Family Christian Movies. It tells the story of the
martyrdom of Necati Aydin, Tilman Geske and Ugur Yuksel. The three,
who were working at a Christian publishing house, had agreed to meet
with several young Muslim men who expressed interest in the Bible.
Authorities have reported the Muslims first demanded that one of the
Christians convert to Islam. When he refused, they pulled knives and
tied up, tortured and stabbed the Christians for several hours before
their throats were slit. WND has reported on the case since the widow
of one of the slain Christians created a tidal wave of reaction in Turkey
by expressing forgiveness for the attackers. The dramatic video story
is available for
only $4.95 from the WND Superstore.
 Then there's the classic "Foxe's
Book of Martyrs" updated for the 21st century. You can get it
in a beautiful faux leather version for your library, or a more
economic paperback edition. For nearly 2,000 years, courageous men and
women have been tortured and killed because of their confessions of
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. But martyrdom is not a thing of the
past; every day the Christian church is persecuted in countries all
over the world. The affliction of Christians was actually more
prevalent in the 1900s than in all the past centuries combined. You
will get a poignant illustration of these recent martyrs in this book.
In addition to the age-old stories of Christian heroes, this updated
edition of Foxe's Book of Martyrs contains stories of persecution up
to 2001. John Foxe began his memorial of martyrs in 1563. He began
with Stephen, the first to die for the cause of Christ, and ended with
the most recent martyrs of his day; those killed during the reign of
Bloody Mary. Foxe was motivated to write by the fear of forgetting or
becoming insensitive to the struggles of the martyrs. He knew that
Christians must not overlook the persecution of their brothers and
sisters in Christ. For if the Church is not reminded of the cost of
following Christ, its very foundations will crumble. The courage,
faith, and love of the martyrs will touch your life. For nearly
two-thousand years, courageous men and women have been tortured and
killed because of their confessions of Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior. This
updated version includes reports on modern martyrs of the 20th and
21st century, a full color timeline of selected events and people for
historical reference, and has been carefully edited into Modern
American English for today's reader
 "First Comes Saturday, Then Comes
Sunday" is
the award-winning documentary by Pierre Rehov, a French filmmaker
known for going where the action is – especially in the dangerous
Middle East. Why has there been a great-and-little-reported Christian
exodus from the Middle East, with some 2 million fleeing in the past
20 years alone? This Christian exodus is a result of many factors,
including the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians, the related
decline of the economy, but perhaps most significantly, the religious
persecution these Christians encounter from their Muslim neighbors.
"First Comes Saturday, Then Comes Sunday" is a well known
sentence in the Middle East meaning : "First we take care of the
Jews (who pray on Saturday) then we will take care of
Christians," the "Sunday people."
