35 Terrorist Training Camps Located INSIDE The U.S. Exposed In Documentary

There's a new documentary film out called "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S." that shows 35 terror training camps located around America in such cities as: Commerce, Georgia; Hancock, New York; and Red House, Virginia. This article over at OneNewsNow talks about how and why the U.S. government is handcuffed against shutting down these camps. Here's some from the article:

A non-profit Christian organization dedicated to protecting the traditions of the American family and defending the nation against radical Islam has released a documentary that exposes 35 terrorist training compounds being operated on American soil.

On the evening of February 11, 2009, the Christian Action Network (CAN) held a special showing of Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S. at the Landmark Theater in Washington, DC. Ryan Mauro, a terrorism analyst for CAN, says the video exposes the terrorist training activities at 35 compounds in the U.S., run by a Pakistani national known as Sheik Muburak Ali Gilani. Compounds identified in the documentary are located near communities like Commerce, Georgia; Hancock, New York; and Red House, Virginia. "You see them setting off explosives, training how to kill guards, highjack cars, all forms of terrorist attacks," Mauro says of the film. "And he actually says on this video if you want training in these tactics [to] contact any of my Muslim in America compounds in the United States."

But Mauro says, incredibly, the U.S. government does not have the authority to shut the camps down. "The big problem here is that his group is not listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department," he points out. "So the authorities don't have the legal authority to go and shut these places down."

Here's what I don't get about these camps. Why is it we never hear of any "mischief " by locals at these camps? In other words, if you and about a dozen of your buddies live within a mile of one of these terror camps, wouldn't you be a bit inclined to go and check em out? Perhaps take a video camera? Maybe drive up to the place and try and give them some Bibles and see what the reaction is? Maybe I'm just a bit devious here but I would think that I would find some method of getting these groups into some hot water. I can't imagine it would be that hard to lure some of these wannabe jihadis out of their compound...and perhaps have a bit of a Saturday afternoon social with them.

At the same time, we are going to see more and more of these camps set up as refuges for islamists in the years to come - they will use every protection under the sun afforded them by the American system in order for them to tear down that system.

Gov't can't shut down terrorist training camps in U.S.

Mauro adds that CAN wants citizens who see the film to lobby Congress to pass legislation that would allow authorities to at least investigate these domestic terrorist training camps.
