"The Virginia compound is believed to serve as an al Fuqra base. Since Sept. 11, three of its residents have been arrested on gun charges...  About two dozen families live at the 44-acre compound near Red House...  Members of the sect occasionally travel abroad for what Thomas P. Gallagher of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms calls "paramilitary and survivalist training" under Gilani's supervision."

Gee I wonder what would have happened had this religious organization been headquartered in WACO, TEXAS? Oh, how silly of me to wonder such nonsence. After all it's not like they're Christian extremists.

The locker's other contents were more alarming: 10 handguns and silencers, 30 pounds of explosives and target-practice silhouettes...

Yes, most alarming - all of 10 handguns! Not up to Waco's level, though. How many did they have? 50? Must be that the Christian extremists are much more dangerous than Muslum ones.
