What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity!
“New York State Funds Islamist Hatred of Jews, Christians, Promotes Enslaving Women and Children,” by Susannah Johnston, Focus On Western Islamism, September 27, 2023:
New York State taxpayers have handed over $23 million to a number of divisive Islamist groups over the last ten years, including one institution banned in the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist organization, according to state funding reports obtained by Focus on Western Islamism. The funds came from several state agencies, but primarily from New York’s Department of Education.
“This information is shocking. It’s unbelievable that New Yorkers’ tax dollars are going to groups that preach and advocate hatred. Not one penny should go to them,” former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind told FWI. Hikind served in the legislature for 36 years and founded Americans Against Antisemitism in 2019. “I will call on the governor to stop this,” he said.
New York taxpayers have given the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Upper New York $2.5 million since January 2013. In 2004, federal prosecutors said MAS’s national organization “was founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.” The UAE designated MAS as a terror organization in 2014.
Other funding recipients in New York include a number of Islamist schools. Al Madrasa Al Islamiya, a religious school located in Brooklyn, has received over $1.6 million. The school’s curriculum includes a book named, Muhammad the Last Prophet: A Model for All Time. The book calls Judaism “a tribal religion,” and portrays killing and enslaving the enemies of Islam as a good thing.
“I judge that the men be killed and their property divided up and that their children and women be taken as slaves,” reads an excerpt from the book from the school’s website. The text continues, “The Messenger of Allah said, ‘You have given the judgement of Allah regarding them.’”
The state has also given more than $800,000 to Al-Mamoor School in Fresh Meadows which promotes the teachings of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi, who has said “the punishment for blasphemy is indeed death.” Qadhi has also defended the Taliban and called for stoning adulterers and killing homosexuals “if we had an Islamic State.”

We live in a very stupid time. Leading the way here into this descent over the past three decades or more are a bevy of disgusting Western leaders, examples being Biden, Obama, Trudeau, Pope Francis I, Blair, Macron, the forever execrable Hillary Clinton who is even worse than her husband, Merkel, the collective abomination which is the EU, et al.
Adding to this “rot” are non-Western leaders like Putin (and, yes, Russia, is not a Western nation; indeed figuring this out will lead to many correct conclusions about Russia), Xi, fat boy in North Korea and extra evil people still in charge of Iran.
Man is a collective idiot. Individuals learn but mankind as a whole never learns. If I have garnered anything of true merit about my studies of the past it is this. Contemporary times only proves my point here. Overwhelmingly.

I suspect that we humans have always had a large portion of the population that was incredibly stupid. Looking at a bell curve, with an IQ of 100 as the median value, one half of society is, shall we say, not very bright. The other half…. many do not have the ‘critical thinking’ ability and simply go along with the rest of society to ‘fit in’. It’s shameful, and I agree fully Wellington, we are collectively idiots.

I would guess that besides stupidity greed may be an important incentive for leaders in deciding what to do. These leaders may be getting bribes from rich oil companies or countries in exchange for furthering Islamism in the West.

Blood money.
When leaders worship the devil,
it makes sense they would pay to support death.
The Lord rebuke them.

The Muslim hijackers crashed two planes into the World Trade Twin Towers. The buildings were smashed to smithereens. The Muslim army then took control of the rest of NYC. The Muslim armies then marched to Albany and conquered it. That’s why NYS has given $23,000,000 to Islamic groups.
That’s the logical reason. It makes sense.
The other story is: The Muslim hijackers destroyed the Twin Towers in NYC. They caused $30.5 billion in damage and the loss of 2,760 lives. NYS then gives $23,000,000 in tax money to Muslim groups.
That is not only illogical but insane. But that’s the world we live in now.

I dont understand why NY State would be giving any groups so much money for whatever reason.
Did they give any money to actual schools in NY State or any groups supporting peace.
Inquiring minds want to know.

If there is ONE constant in the West and the US, it is endless STUPIDITY!! Having tossed their own faith overboard in the 60, s there is still the assumption that no one believes – That Medieval nonsense?? Very bad assumption!!

Why is OUR government giving OUR tax dollars to ORGANIZATION of any kind.
Why is OUR government giving BILLIONS of our TAX dollars to foreign countries when we can’t even take care of our Veterans and Disabled Citizens or Seniors?
