| New Plans Under Way For Muslim Youth Camp | |
| 2003-10-30 | |
| CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said revised plans for a Muslim youth camp on Coralville Lake should be ready by next summer. The corps ruled the camp must be about half the size of its original plan. Muslim Youth Camps of America is working to build the camp on 106 acres near North Liberty. The original plan called for $2 million in construction, including 10 cabins, a lodge, a beach, boat dock and paved parking. The corps approved the group’s request for the camp in June, but said the project must be scaled back. Camp organizers hope to meet with architects this month to start work on a revised proposal. Anyone wanna place bets on whether this place will teach the kiddies Jihad or not?

| #9 Interesting point Slumming--I went to Ohio U and our "sister school" was in Malaysia--there were lots of Islamic students paid for by the US Gov--MANY from Algeria and Tunisia--most studying engineering plopped down in the middle of Appalachian Ohio. I always wondered whose idea THAT was |

| #8 Is this on public land? If it is then what about the 'seperation of church and state' which the liberals are crowing about all the time? Or does that only apply to the christian church? Wasn't the boy scouts kicked out of a building they were in (and had been in for decades) in the name of 'seperation'? |

| #6 I went to school at U of Iowa many years ago, less then ten miles away from this lake. The area is beautiful, and there isn't any desert for a thousand miles. The University has a large number of faculty and students from the middle east. My guess is this camp will be used for R&R for the sons of the faculty, and for grad students. Iowa is fairly conservative, but the campus itself is extremely liberal. When I was there, if you weren't a member in good standing with SDS, you weren't anybody. Whose brilliant idea was this anyway? |

| #4 Whether they teach the kids jihad or not, understand this well: This land will be considered Muslim land, part of the umma, and will not be given back. Ever. |

| #3 Put it next to a Boy Scouts camp. Make said Boy Scouts earn firearms merit badges. Field testing of said firearms skills is optional. |

| #2 I hear the Paleos are going to work as Camp Counselors. Courses in bomb making, sniping, Quran quoting , and victimization will help the campers develop into good little Jihadists. Has everyone heard enough about Islam? I only wish they spent a tenth of the time talking about the OTHER religions in the world. |
