Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Missouri: Feds seeking to revoke citizenship of leader of Islamic charity shut down as terrorist group

Feb 9, 2018 12:29 pm By Robert Spencer

When he gained citizenship in the first place, did anyone attempt to determine what he thought about jihad? Unlikely in the extreme: that would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Feds seek citizenship of man who violated Iraq sanctions,” Associated Press, February 8, 2018 (thanks to Robert):

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Department of Justice is seeking to revoke the citizenship of the former leader of a Missouri-based organization that illegally funneled money to Iraq.

The federal agency filed a complaint Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, seeking to revoke the naturalization of Mubarak Hamed, once the director of the Islamic American Relief Agency, which posed as a charity that assisted famine victims in Africa. The organization collected $1 million to $3 million in contributions each year from 1991 to 2003.

According to the complaint, Hamed regularly transferred funds from the organization to an account in Jordan controlled by a man who transferred the money, or goods bought with the funds, to Iraq, which violated U.S. sanctions against that country.

IARA, based in Columbia, Missouri, was the U.S. office of the Sudan-based Islamic Relief Agency. It secretly funneled a total of about $1.4 million to Iraq, the department said.

The U.S. group was dissolved in 2004, after the government deemed it a terrorist organization. At the time, the organization was ordered to transfer more than $800,000 in assets to a charity that assists farmers and drought victims in East Africa.

Hamed, a native of Sudan, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, lying to federal agents and misusing the tax-exempt status given to charities. He served nearly five years in prison before being released in August 2016….

    Whenever citizenship is granted, is there no oath of allegiance?

    This process of revocation could be made much easier if there were Terms & Conditions included, such that actions against the state made the contract null and void.

      I agree, WCP, it is plain common sense to make citizenship conditional upon loyalty.

      Traitor…nothing else would suffice for this man. TRAITOR through and through.
      I have neither the time or resources to list all the Islamic groups here in the U.S.and around the world, who are most likely funneling monies and other goods to Ares of the world, devoted to the supremacy of islam
      I would hope that government agencies such as our DOJ, FBI, CIA, police departments, and any other agencies devoted to the protection and welfare of our free nation, are working full time to route out these fake groups…but the way political correctness,islamaphobia and appeasement have abounded, throughout, I doubt it.

      We would have to put all followers of Islam in there because to their religion big A via big M compels jihad and to them that is the moral thing to do it is immoral not to jihad!

    Kudos to the much-maligned US DOJ for their financial surveillance of this jihadi. I hope they’re doing lots and lots of this kind of work and we mostly aren’t hearing about it. How about taking a page from the Muslim playbook and making them ransom their homey?

    I’m extremely grateful to hear this. Revocation makes perfect sense, and sends the right message. To take revocation of citizenship off the table, like Justin Trudeau has unfortunately done, would be to allow our freedoms and institutions to be used against us.

      Give him a choice revocation of citizenship or being shot as a citizen for a treason against America either way we Americans win. .

    Missouri’s new governor is Jewish and conservative so they’re losing their minds.

    • WPM says

      Feb 10, 2018 at 6:36 pm

      Really I guess being Jewish and conservative removes you for the pool of people that can be elected by the people of the state, elected to be governor? Or are you referring to the hard left on Americans campuses the new One World Government worshipers that have their panties in a knot? I am trying to see where your coming from?

    Many muslim organizations, CAIR, MB, ICNA, and others, use our government for their benefit and promoting sharia. If it has anything to do with islam it is crooked and many are paying terrorists in creative ways they call multiculturism which is pure bs. When will people wake up and stand up to these creeps who are encroaching on our country and freedoms minute by minute and inch by inch. Read the Muslim Brotherhood Project for the USA, infiltrating schools, all levels of government, reproducing like rabbits, and high proliferation of mosques. 9/11 should have been a serious wake up call. Saudi Arabia should be stopped from growing mosques and moving people to those cities. It has to stop.
