About an hour north of Columbia, a small community goes about its daily business. But their neighborhood is like no other in our state. They have no elected leaders; instead, they answer to a man who lives in Pakistan. A recent law enforcement report says he is a terrorist.
The community is called Islamville. York County Sheriff Bruce Bryant says Islamville “is not a location we just sit back and ignore.”
The 34 acre site is a self-contained Islamic community. All of the residents at Islamville accept Sheikh Mubarek Ali Gilani as their leader.
