Jihad Watch

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

Research shows at least 41,000,000 of American tax dollars spent on jihadist organizations

May 2, 2019 3:52 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

This shocking report is a must read below. It outlines how the American people are being used as dhimmis and manipulated in the global jihad war as unwitting “sponsors” of jihad terror, without any say in the matter.

In total….at least $41 million was given to institutions either controlled or under the partial influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami… Salafis, Deobandis (a hardline South Asian Sunni sect from which the Taliban was created) and the Iranian regime, among others. Some of the largest amounts involve grants to aid charities.

The latter is how stealth jihadists hide their mission. The hard earned money of American taxpayers should not be going toward the jihadist mission to subvert America,  where its citizens are already deemed to be inferiors by Islamic supremacists.

“$41 Million of Taxpayer-Subsidized Islamism”, by Sam Westrop, The Daily Wire, May 1, 2019:

Research by the Middle East Forum has found that since 2007, federal government agencies have handed over $47 million to 61 Islamic institutions in the forms of 411 various grants and contracts.

On the face of it, this need not be of concern. The government has long relied on contractors and charities from all faiths to implement its programs. Alarmingly, however, radical Islamic movements completely control 36% of the Muslim institutions that received government monies, taking 42% of the total funding. A further 36% of the grantees, which received 44% of the funds, operate under varying degrees of radical influence. A mere 14% of identified government funds given to Muslim organizations were directed toward institutions free of Islamist influence.

In total, if the government’s own data is accurate, at least $41 million was given to institutions either controlled or under the partial influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, Jamaat-e-Islami (a violent South Asian Islamist movement), Salafis, Deobandis (a hardline South Asian Sunni sect from which the Taliban was created) and the Iranian regime, among others.

Some of the largest amounts involve grants to aid charities. Long favored by Islamist movements as a means to spread ideology through welfare, charities also provide extremists with plentiful funding and the occasional accompanying credibility of government partnership.

The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), for instance, received over $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for disaster relief work in 2016 and 2018. ICNA is the U.S. representative body of Jamaat-e-Islami, which was recently banned by the Indian government in the Kashmir region because of its involvement with “extremism and militancy in Jammu and Kashmir and elsewhere.”

ICNA and its subsidiaries openly partner with official Jamaat-e-Islami organizations in Pakistan, such as Al Khidmat Foundation, a funder of the designated terrorist organization Hamas. The Investigative Project on Terrorism has noted that Al Khidmat’s President, Naeem ur-Rehman, is closely involved with the designated Kashmiri jihadist group Hizbul Mujahideen.

In addition, ICNA runs an international aid branch, Helping Hand for Relief and Development, which has openly partnered in Pakistan with Lashkar-e-Taiba, a designated terrorist organization responsible for the deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks.

Another Jamaat-e-Islami charity, Muslim Aid, received over $1.5 million from the American taxpayer in 2013 for a “Food for Peace” program. Muslim Aid is based in Britain, but operates a fundraising office in America.

In 2010, three years before the U.S. government handed over taxpayers’ money to the charity, Muslim Aid admitted to funding organizations controlled by the terrorist organization Hamas, including a grant of over $18,000 to the al-Ihsan Charitable Society, designated by the U.S. government as a sponsor of terrorism. In 2013, the same year as the U.S. government grant, a war crimes tribunal sentenced to death in absentia the founder of Muslim Aid, Chowdhury Mueen-Uddin, for his part in the mass-murder of teachers and intellectuals by Jamaat-e-Islami killing squads during Bangladesh’s 1971 Liberation War.

Other Islamist strains, meanwhile, also found generous backing. Through the enormous evangelical charity World Vision, $115,000 of taxpayers’ money was handed to a Bin Laden-linked Sudanese charity, the Islamic Relief Agency, a decade after the U.S. Treasury designated it as a terrorist-financing organization. Lawmakers are now investigating the decision to award the grant.

Three organizations named by the United Arab Emirates as terrorist groups were approved for U.S. government funding. Islamic Relief, a global charitable franchise established by supporters and officials of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, received over $1.6 million, despite its extensively-documented links to Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

These enormous sums to aid charities somewhat inflate the total figures. But the hundreds of remaining grants are not insignificant. Branches of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim American Society (MAS) collectively received over $310,000 from the taxpayer. Officials of both organizations (as well as CAIR itself) were named by federal prosecutors as unindicted coconspirators during the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terror financing trial.

Funds for CAIR and MAS were provided under a diverse range of government initiatives: counter-terrorism security measures, disaster relief. chaplaincy programs and school lunch vouchers. In fact, if large grants to aid charities are disregarded, chaplaincy contracts and schooling subsidies make up a significant proportion of government funding.

The Islamic Institute of Knowledge (IIOK), for example, is a Shiite institution in Dearborn, Michigan, which has received over $851,000 under the National School Lunch Program. IIOK does not hide its ideological links. It was established by Abdel Latif Berry, a disciple of Lebanon’s late Ayatollah Fadlallah, who served as a “spiritual advisor” to the designated terrorist group Hezbollah. In 2009, IIOK held a commemoration for Ayatollah Khomeini…..

      What about the 500 million dollars that the US spent on training and arming the so-called “Free Syrian Army” which really didn’t exist in reality? US wasted close to 1.8 billion dollars to overthrow the Syrian government and replace it with Islamic jihadists but it failed miserably! More of this below:

      Crusader

      And the US funded, armed and trained many of those Islamic jihadist groups and it does this today! Osama Bin-Laden was America’s hero before he turned its most wanted:

    Let me be more specific. American men & women are paying for the jihad, and also leaving their blood and guts on the battlefield trying to defeat it.

    Of course, many of these groups are posing as Islamic “charities”.

    christianblood, though, is again pretending that it is the US that is actually waging violent Jihad.

    And he does this all the while screaming “God bless Hezb’allah!” and lauding Iran for its savage Shari’ah law and vows to wipe Israel off the map.

    I guess 8 years of Obama got this started, but Trump must stop it immediately!
    This is complete insanity! How can the US government be this lax in giving away this much tax payer
    money?? The deep state terrorists must be destroyed ! Our veterans go without and we send money to
    the enemy ? What is wrong with this scenario??
    God save us from this madness!

      Have you heard anymore from Trump about “muslims”, or “islam” or “deportation”? Well, if you looked on the White House homepage, you’d see a very nice short speech to the MANY, that are in this country, from Trump, after he hosted a ramadan dinner IN the White House. Maybe you’ve seen it already?

      Presidential Message on Ramadan
      Issued on: May 15, 2018

      https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/presidential-message-ramadan/

      Don’t ask me what the cult-like, “rising of the moon”, in the first sentence, has to do with anything…

      And you really don’t wanna see all the nice things he said, to the Nigerian prez, that he invited to the White House…..when Christians and others (anyone not muslim), are killed by the thousands, if not millions, for many years now…in that country.

      But then again, what’s that saying about “keeping your enemies close”?

    ISLAM AND FOOTBALL (SOCCER) .. MUST READ… taken from an Indian website

    Islam works like football
    Koran = Rule book
    Imaam = Coach
    Terrorists = Strikers
    Stealth Jehaadis = Midfielders
    Moderate Muslims = Defenders
    Left-Libbies = Goalkeepe

    • gravenimage says

      May 4, 2019 at 7:08 pm

      The only differences are that football–soccer to us Yanks–is civilized, fun, and games rarely results in high body counts…

    Let’s not forget the (invented) Halal industry which to date, since the late 1970’s/early ’80’s, is now a multi-trillion dollar global money-maker to help build mosques, madrasses, Islamic so-called “charities”, etc. whilst the mullahs laugh all the way to the bank.

    • gravenimage says

      May 4, 2019 at 7:13 pm

      Yes–important point.

      I actually saw one clueless restaurant reviewer refer to Halal meat as “cruelty-free”–when nothing could be further from the truth! I wrote him about his error–I was polite–but heard nothing back.

    The US taxpayer is financially supporting jihad terrorism, but is not promoting information programs to counter the JIHAD TERRORISM IDEOLOGY.

    We will lose the ideological warfare against jihad terrorism if Western governments don’t lavishly spend to develop films, videos, books, magazines and handout literature that will EXPOSE Muslims to modern textual and historical research to take them right out of Islam.

    Islam is a mediaeval political ideology that denies human rights and civil liberties to women and ‘others’.

    Islam is incompatible with modern human rights codes. We have to get this important message across to Muslims convincingly.

    • gravenimage says

      May 4, 2019 at 7:15 pm

      Mortimer, you have constantly said that if only Muslims understood how violent their creed is that they would all leave. But this doesn’t explain Jihadists–the most pious Muslims–who know *just* how vicious their faith is, and fully embrace it and carry out its brutal diktats.
