The Nation of Islam and its leaders have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the U.S. government since 2008 to teach religious study programs for federal prison inmates
But this is the mindset of Nation of Islam’s leader Louis Farrakhan::
White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off of that Satanic Jew and I’m here to say your time is up, your world is through
Is this tolerance? Is this an effort against racism? This is what taxpayers of America have been paying to have spread in the nation’s federal prisons: intolerance, hatred, racism, and anti-Semitism. What will these prisoners be like when they are released?
“Nation of Islam receiving federal cash to teach prisoners,” by Alana Goodman, Fox News, December 19, 2018:
The Nation of Islam and its leaders have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the U.S. government since 2008 to teach religious study programs for federal prison inmates, according to records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
A black nationalist group led by Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam preaches that white people are “blue-eyed devils” and Jews are “the synagogue of Satan.” Its leaders have received at least $364,500 in contracts and awards from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.
The funding was designed to provide “Nation of Islam religious services,” “Nation of Islam spiritual guide services,” “Nation of Islam study services,” and other related programming led by the organization’s leaders, according to Bureau of Prison records. The Nation of Islam has been labeled a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
New York Republican Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, told the Washington Examiner the funding was “beyond the pale.”
He said: “Categorically, no group or entity or individual associated any way with Farrakhan or the Nation of Islam should receive any federal funding. What Farrakhan preaches is hatred and anti-Semitism and racism….

The US should fund the COUNTERJIHAD WRITERS to destroy JIHADISM IDEOLOGICALLY, rather than giving money to groups that PROMOTE JIHADISM.
The only way to stop JIHADISM is to expose the amorality, non-historicity and incoherence of Islam’s primary source texts. Once Muslims see these things, they quietly leave Islam, while pretending to be Muslims with their families. They are no longer available for jihad at this point and may be able to rat the jihadists out.

…………………….
The idea that every Muslim who has been exposed to Islam’s non-historicity and incoherence has secretly left Islam and is now actually working against Jihad is based on–what? Citations, please.

Farrakhan is the ultimate barbarian. He’s just smart enough to be dangerous out outwit the people dumb enough to go along.

If only the United States can elect a Republican President it can put an end to this insanity.
CogitoErgoSum says
Ah, but Congress controls the purse strings of the government.
Terry Gain says
So the President has no veto power and no influence on a Republican controlled Congress?
CogitoErgoSum says
If the Congress were controlled by Republicans and the President were a Republican why would a bill the President would veto be passed in the first place?
Terry Gain says
Cogito
Are you claiming Trump could not have stopped this atrocious practice? Think.
CogitoErgoSum says
I now see you are referring to a bill that is passed by a Democratically controlled Congress. Yes, the President could veto a bill and then it would have to go back to Congress where the bill would have to receive a two-thirds majority in both the House and Senate to override the veto. I guess it would depend on how important other matters were to the President in deciding to over-ride a bill involving a few hundreds of thousands of dollars as compared to matters involving billions of dollars. I imagine the game of give and take comes into play.
CogitoErgoSum says
Terry, thinking about this even more, a line item veto would help a President to control spending that he didn’t like but the President can’t do that. I believe a law that once did allow for that was found to be unconstitutional and Congress has failed to pass a revised one that might be constitutional. So again, I’d say it is Congress and not the President that has control over how the government’s money is spent.

So does CAIR
“The bulk of the funds went to the nonprofit Advocates for Basic Legal Equity Inc., part of the Legal Aid of Western Ohio. The organization tells NBC4 the money provided “know your rights” presentations and legal representation to immigration detainees who are Franklin County residents, at the Butler County Jail. The Council on American Islamic Relations and Catholic Social Services’ Our Lady of Guadalupe Center also received funding.” https://www.nbc4i.com/news/you-paid-for-it-columbus-immigrant-legal-defense-fund_20180403065127765/1096465864

What do you expect the most prominent antisemitic organization in the US will teach prisoners? Antisemitism per chance? I am sure their leader Louis Farrakhan would do it for nothing.
Westman says
This can’t be right: The SPLC brands Farr-a-con a hate preacher and yet Linda Sarsour and the rad feminists invite him to their best parties.

Nation of Islam received hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to teach prisoners
……………..
Utter madness–this takes garden-variety criminals and turns them into white-hating “holy warriors”–and does so on the tax-payers dime. Suicidal insanity.
What do these authorities *think* the Nation of Islam is teaching?
John Vic says
LOL. islam is Satan,s Advocate ,

Among the writings from Nation of Islam are declarations calling out for Black separation from the White devils. Go read about that desire. Meeting the demands would be costly in wealth to the USA but after the separation (ensure total isolation with an impenetrable boundary) the cost savings over time would more than pay the outlay. The Nation of Islam homeland will also be a convenient place to deposit the horde of Black felons committing felonies far out of their proportion of the populace. The immense cost of incarceration would thus be avoided. Non-monetary life aspects would substantially increase as the USA becomes increasingly crime-free and a much more enjoyable place for civil, social law-abiding folks to live.
Support the Nation of Islam desired separation from the evil White-ridden USA. Only good could come from this event.

If Muslims are able to seize American territory the demands won’t end there.

Should listen to fareaklan even if his head is shaped like a raison.
