Jamaat ul-Fuqra is an Islamic sect that seeks to purify Islam through violence. Fuqra is
led by Pakistani cleric, who established the organization in the early 1980s. Gilani now
resides in Pakistan, but most Fuqra cells are located in North America. Fuqra members
have purchased isolated rural compounds in North America to live communally, practice
their faith, and insulate themselves from Western culture.
