This is no doubt the work of swamp creatures, i.e., entrenched federal bureaucrats who are happy to defy the Trump’s administration’s agenda. The swamp needs draining, but is fighting back furiously.
“US Gov’t Hands Out Tens of Millions to Islamist Organizations,” Clarion Project, January 23, 2020:
The U.S. government under the Trump administration has handed out tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to Islamist organizations, according to research by Sam Westrop at Middle East Forum (MEF).
As MEF noted, “between 2017 and 2018, the amount of taxpayers’ money given to organizations either influenced or controlled by Islamist activists more than tripled from $4 million to $13.5 million. Under the Obama administration, the amount given to Islamist-linked organizations averaged a mere $1.7 million each year.”
Most recently, in October 2019, the government awarded the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) with $100,000 in federal grant government money.
CAIR was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest-ever terror funding case in American history. The government officially ended all partnerships with the organization in 2009 because of CAIR’s connection to funding the Hamas terror group.
Yet, CAIR was recently the recipient of the $100,000 Department of Homeland Security grant as part of its DHS’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program.
In addition to monies given to CAIR, MEF found that the government gave:
- $57,000 to the Muslim American Society (MAS). In 2008, federal prosecutors said that “MAS was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America. Last year, children from an MAS school recited poetry about the killing of Jews
- $100,000 to Dar al-Hijrah, an extremist mosque in Virginia. A 2002 Customs and Border Protection document stated that DAH is “operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.” A December 2007 document said DAH “has been linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing.” Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al-Awlaki was DAH’s imam from 2001 to 2002. Al-Awlaki’s sermons were attended by two of the 9/11 hijackers and Nidal Hassan, who later shot 13 soldiers to death in a jihadi attack at Fort Hood in 2009.
- $41 million in federal grants to Islamist radicals since 2007 (not including grants given in the last few months)….

Counterproductive. The US government is handing out tens of millions to jihad organizations the PROMOTE and PROPAGANDIZE IN FAVOR of jihad, but not a cent to organizations that DESCRIBE AND CRITICIZE JIHAD! This is pure madness.
The US government simultaneously financing the promotion of jihad and then spending BILLIONS in fighting jihad! What could be more counterproductive?
At a tiny fraction of the cost of fighting jihadists, Western governments could finance groups that deprogram Muslims out of Islam: that way, the Muslim world would shrink instead of growing, and the jihad problem would shrink even faster as more ex-Muslims joined the counterjihad and enhanced the work of deprogramming jihadists. We are only in the first computer-literate generation of Muslims. Once the full second generation of Muslims has been exposed to internet counterjihad, there will be many more ex-Muslim deprogrammers on line.

Some of the European nations have tried deprogramming and assimulation programs, none of which have worked.

Sadly true, Marilyn.
Remember this horrific story:
“UK: London Bridge jihadi left event where he was set to share his “rehabilitation” story to commit jihad murder”
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2019/11/uk-london-bridge-jihadi-left-event-where-he-was-set-to-share-his-rehabilitation-story-to-commit-jihad-murder
It doesn’t get any more ironic than this.

Mortimer, can you point to any of these groups that are supposedly successfully dedicated to deprogramming Muslims?
And I see that you are now hedging your bets, implying that this will take generations.
Additionally, the idea that the internet is only being used by Counter-Jihadists is sadly mistaken. Have you missed all those who instead say they have been “radicalized” on line?

Muslims are in the government at all levels. What else would we expect.
Mary Osgood says
Why was this allowed? How can it be stopped? Who is in charge of this distribution of my tax money? This should be considered treason. Financing a terrorist organization that destroys everything we believe in as a country and puts our citizens at risk of harm and death is a slap in the face to our founding fathers. They would have never supported the Red Coats in this manner. The person that allowed this to begin should be hung on the White House Lawn so that American Christian’s could know that all is well with the center of our government. Not only should we be released from this heriecy we should also condemn that one person that agreed to support a religious organization with our federall monies as we have a rule that doesn’t allow us to support any organization like that due to a separation of Church and Stae.

At least Trump is aware, up here in Canada Trudeau loves Islam, save us!!!
Michael Pillon says
What an absolutely criminal, degenerate use of public money.
Taxation has always been theft. But now it’s a precursor to murder, as well.
Clifford Fodor says
Who is giving out all this money to the Muslims? Is it Trump? Is it an Obama holdover? This is not just “counterproductive.” This is treasonous and scandalous. Every Jihad Watch reader who hates Islam should outraged and up in arms about this. Franklin Graham, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity should be told about this. We must make our voices heard.
Kepha says
Exactly which agencies are making the payouts? Please let us know, so we can write to our Senators and representatives to see that this stops.
Kepha says
So, Uncle Sam has bent over backwards to prove that he is not “Islamophobic”. Back in the day, lobbying groups shucked out oodles of their supporters’ money to wine, dine, bribe, and otherwise influence members of both Houses of Congress and federal bureaucrats to support their agendae. What business, then, does the US government have handing out taxpayer dollars to fund a lobbying group of any kind The interet group liberalism written about by the late Theodore Lowi has gotten way out of hand. Lowi’s burden was how economic interests bought government agencies; now, it seems, government agencies are paying subversive groups who are trying to buy those very same government agencies! This is indeed a swamp!
owensgate says
This is unfathomable. Is there a record of the Roosevelt Admin giving millions of Dollars to the German-American Bund in the late 30’s? No? Then WHY is Trump’s Administration giving Great Bundles of Cash to our enemies today? Is President Trump in control, or not?

…………………..
Suicidal insanity.
Jenny says
It’s the same all over the world. The wolves guarding the hen house. They are elected to government positions legally and then take over from there. We did it to ourselves. God help our children.
Gary Pierce says
leftover obumer bullshit — Trump needs to kill this shit !
somehistory says
This happens for the simple reason that .. the U.S. government is **infested*** with moslim snakes.
‘o’ put many of them in different agencies when he was president pretender…and they have never been removed. Everything these moslims do is to further the growth of islam and its insatiable lust for power.
And in a similar news story: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-fines-delta-dollar50000-for-booting-off-3-muslim-passengers/ar-
The hamas-cair org had a big hand in this and the “director” of the cair office involved said, ‘ the money wasn’t enough based on the amount that Delta takes in…that “$50,000 was a slap on the wrist.”

It’s also infested with idiots. I bet a lot of these Muslim organizations present themselves as decent groups–and wouldn’t it be “Islamophobic” to check?
Linda Rivera says
If this is true, the U.S. government has abandoned our people. People pay taxes to be protected, NOT to have our lives endangered by Muslims eager to OBEY BLOODTHIRSTY Quran commands to mass murder non Muslims.
Muslims in America, Britain and around the world CELEBRATED the savage slaughters of our cherished 3,000 on 9/11. I will never forget.

Where are the investigations for fraud and abuse?
Linda Rivera says
VERY, VERY BAD NEWS.
Trump is giving FAR MORE TO MUSLIM TERRORIST Organizations than Devout Muslim Obama ever did.
America is in very big trouble. And in EXTREME DANGER.
We’ve been sold out. May God help us.
Paul says
Somebody needs to tell him! This is the DEEP STATE handing out OUR MONEY!
abad says
I don’t think the USA should be giving any money to any foreign entity or country. Period.
OLD GUY says
Why must the American tax payer always foot the bill? Seems like the only thing our Representatives know how to do is throw money at problems hoping it will stick somewhere. If Islamophobe is a big problem let the muslim community deal with it and fund these islamic organizations.
Lets but America First, and spend our tax dollars here in America rebuilding our infrastructure, NOT every Tom, Dick and Harry country that wants to take advantage of our generosity with kick backs to our politicians and their big buddy political funders. There are plenty of hard working Americans that could use a little better job and living conditions right here.
Islam seams to be the problem in most Christian countries including America. The answer is quite simple stop allowing Islamic people from coming into our country, we won’t offend them and they won’t offend us. I can live just fine without anything islam has to offer, I do not need their products or to visit any of their countries and I’ll sleep better at night.

Wonder how much the gov’t doles out to other half of the reg-green axis, the Communist orgs, if any . . .
