In 31 American Muslim-only towns the Al-Fuqra organization headed by Sheikh Al-Gilani teaches American citizens how to ambush vehicles, cut off heads, build bombs, fire Kalashnikovs and deceive non-Muslims about their activities. The closest town to me is Islamberg NY. An NYPD mole who lived there said all the residents are awaiting a single order by Gilani; "Attack". We know that most American mosques teach Wahhabbi Islam, which is the brand of Al Qaeda, Al Shabob and the conglomerate of Sunni groups. We know that 1/4th of American Muslims support suicide bombings against civilians, and consider Jihad the pinnacle of their lives. We know that every day there are more and more jihadis in this country, in our cities and towns.
This isn't my opinion. Google the name, place and organization I listed.
I am actually surrounded, between NYC and Philadelphia. One day, perhaps within my life time, there will be a fatwah ordering the start of violent jihad by Al-Fuqra. Our school buses will be ambushed and our children held hostage. Our municipal and state resources will be under attack. Fire, police, EMS, national guard, all targets. YOU may be on your own until friendly forces can reach you.
I live in a suburban town. It's entirely possible that most friendly forces will be sent to the cities and more populated areas, leaving my area to more or less fend for itself. An underdog prefers the path of least resistance, and may use my roads as a route of progress or egress.
This is one of the SHTF scenerios I am planning for. I expect length of operations to be "immediate to short" term. Without sustained assistance from abroad no uprising here will last very long. I expect the usual enemy TTPs (tactics, techniques, procedure) that have been used worldwide. I expect them to trade armor for mobility, as Haj most often does. Meaning, instead of a ballistic vest with plates, he will prefer a few extra AK magazines and running shoes. No "heavy" or crew-served weapons, but certainly hand-thrown explosives. Certainly sniper tactics and booby traps. Certainly small groups.
My counter measures? I have about 14 cases of MREs available, so I won't have to go out for food. Water is immediately accessible but I'll have to purify it. My strategy will be static defense awaiting friendly forces. I have enough small arms and ammunition to hold out for that, I believe. I lack a "long distance" weapon system, but from my apartment I can't see that far anyway.
Mostly I'm worried about the moment of initial attack. I've showed my wife some videos to get her into a defensive mindset. American Muslims in this country, spelling out exactly what they intend to do and how they want to do it. I showed her the examples of Moscow, Beslan, Mumbai and Boston. Mental preparedness goes a long way. Ambush counter-measures and identifying hazard areas and safe areas, cover and concealment, escape and evasion. I'll be relying on my military training and experience.
Have you considered this scenerio? Have you identified mosques in your area, or their potential targets? How close is your home to a police building or a school? Does it have a good outlook over the terrain? What are the paved and natural ways in and out of your area?
