Islamberg (Arabic: إسلامبيرج) is a rural hamlet and religious community in the town of Tompkins, Delaware County, New York, United States.
[2] Islamberg was settled by a group of mostly black Muslim families in the 1980s,[3] who sought to escape the urban decline of NYC.
[4] The group was inspired by Sufi Cleric Sheikh Syed Mubarik Ali Shah Gilani and sought a more "peaceful and holy Muslim life".
[6] Although relations with neighboring communities are cooperative,[1] Islamberg has repeatedly faced threats and persecution originating from false right-wing conspiracy theories spread online.
[9] In June 2017, a Tennessee man, Robert Doggart, was sentenced to almost 20 years in prison for plotting an attack on Islamberg.
