Speaking publicly for the first time, former Seattle resident James Ujaama testified Tuesday about his efforts in 1999 to create a terrorist training camp in rural Oregon for would-be jihad warriors wishing to take up the fight against the U.S.-backed Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.
Among the instructors would be Oussama Kassir, a Swedish jihadist who once bragged he had been a bodyguard for Osama bin Laden.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. There are at least 35 known Islamic compounds whose residents are primarily ex-cons who converted to Islam while in prison. All are under the leadership of a radical Pakistani cleric, Sheikh Mubarak Gilani. The Christian Action Network somehow got a training DVD of Sheikh Gilanis and used it as the basis for their own DVD, "Homegrown Jihad." In my opinion, the most telling scene was Sheikh Gilani holding up his Koran and telling his followers to make friends with the nonbelievers and then kill them--"Just like in the Book."
There may be two faces to Islam, but unfortunately, we are experiencing the growth of homegrown radical Islamist.
