We have to tread lightly here. I have no problem with religious communities being formed so long as they are not subversive. The Amish ;Mormons ,some Jewish groups tend to prefer to live in enclaves.

The Branch Davidians were also a group I thought had a perfect right to live in a separated community . I know of no compelling reason why they were attacked. What I have heard about Islamberg bears investigation however . Nearby residents complain of paramilitary activity going on .As an example... Since there are a lot of former inmates there it should be investigated if the extensive use of firearms violates parole provisions.

Hello again, tom:

BEING with another felon violates parole, so there's probably no parolees there. Too bad. You'll have to find another reason to check 'em out.

OK thanks for the clarification . From what I hear from the locals it sounds like a war up on the mountain on a daily basis.

Hello again, tom:

Felons, even those NOT on parole, can't own a firearm. Call the ATF.

Remember Daniel Pearl, he was checking them out before they checked him out, permanently. :D Secrecy is the hallmark of the sect and the members are trained, among other things, in the use of aliases.

If we had a Clinton back in the White House we'd just let ATF go and... :D


“The ATF had the Red House colony under surveillance for a couple of years before making last fall's arrests. After September 11, authorities decided to move without further delay. At a bond hearing for Vincente Pierre on September 28, 2001, ATF Special Agent Thomas P. Gallagher told the court: "Individuals from the organization are trained in Hancock, N.Y. and if they pass the training in Hancock, N.Y. are then sent to Pakistan for training in paramilitary and survivalist training by Mr. Gilani.. . We have information from an informant that one individual [from Red House] did further his training by going to Afghanistan."

”And apparently the travel isn't all one way. At the same hearing, Pierre testified that Red House has hosted "many Muslims.. . From Pakistan, Arabic." Pakistan, of course, isn't an Arab country, but plenty of Arabs have gone there to learn to use a gun.”

All of the groups(excluding the Soviets) you have mentioned ended up being destroyed by that mentality. In that, the process allowed them to overextend themselves enough that they couldn't protect themselves at home.

No, they were destroyed not by that mentality, but rather by having LOST that mentality and becoming complacent, either to foreign threats or domestic ones. Nero fiddled as Rome burned. He became too complacent to take action against threats to Rome. The same for all the others. Except the Soviets; they simply collapsed from their own economic weight.

Hello again, DC:

If they're on parole, using aliases and packing heat, there should be a warrant out for them, or their PAROLE OFFICERS should be in the slam.
