U.S. Suspends Tax-Exempt Status of Terrorist-Linked Charities

Commenting below about the Palestinian textbook's teachings on jihad, I wrote that it is "important to follow the money trail from Muslim charities."

Well, this citizen would like to thank his elected officials for their fast, efficient service! The State Department announced just today that "The U.S. Department of the Treasury has suspended the tax-exempt status of three charities because of their links to terrorist networks. In a November 14 news release, Treasury said that contributions to the three charities -- Benevolence International Foundation, Global Relief Foundation, and Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development -- would no longer be deductible for federal tax purposes."
