No surprise here. In the past, there might have been some perfunctory attempt to ensure that the recipients of this cash were “moderate,” but now any such inquiry would be “Islamophobic.”
“These Mosques Pray for the Annihilation of Jews. They Also Receive Money From the Biden Administration.,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, November 13, 2023:
A federal program to help nonprofit groups protect against terrorist attacks has given millions of dollars to mosques and Islamic groups that have praised terrorists and called for the destruction of Israel, according to a Washington Free Beacon review.
The Department of Homeland Security awarded the California-based Masjid al-Ansar mosque $100,000 on March 9 under the Nonprofit Security Grants Program. Moustafa Kamel, the imam at Masjid al-Ansar, earlier this year called Jews a “bigoted and arrogant breed of people” and prayed they “will be annihilated” in a war over the Holy Land, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Then there is the Islamic Center of Detroit, which received $150,000 on Oct. 12, 2022. Its head imam, Imran Salha, said at a pro-Palestinian rally days after Hamas’s invasion of Israel that Muslims have a “fire in our hearts that will burn that state until its demise.” During a sermon in March, he referred to the “sick, disgusting Zionist regime” and prayed: “may Allah eradicate them from existence.”
The rhetoric could fuel the sorts of hate and terrorist attacks that the Homeland Security grants aim to prevent. Anti-Semitic hate crimes have surged 400 percent since Hamas’s attack, in which 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered. A bipartisan group of senators called for additional funding under the program last month to protect against “a potential rise in anti-Semitic threats.”
There is little oversight over which organizations receive funding under the program, which is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state agencies. A majority of the grants have gone to synagogues, churches, mosques, and temples that do not support violence or promote terrorist organizations.
But there are also grants to outfits like the Islamic Center of San Diego, a mosque best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers. Days after the Hamas attack, Imam Taha Hassane defended the attack on Israel as an act of self-defense.
“When people are occupied, then the resistance is justified,” he said in an Oct. 20 sermon. “We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who started the occupation, not the one who is defending himself.”
The mosque received $150,000 under the grant program on Aug. 15, according to federal spending records.
At the Flint Islamic Center, which received $300,000 in grants on Oct. 12, 2022, an Islamic scholar asserted in a sermon last month that Jews “literally live for the purpose of genocide” of Palestinians.
“These people … their businesses have foundations just to serve their objectives. They literally live for a purpose of genocide in an occupation like this,” said Shaykh Adbullah Waheed.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an advocacy group identified as a co-conspirator of Hamas, has mounted a public awareness campaign to urge mosques and Islamic nonprofits to apply for the Homeland Security grants. CAIR noted that fewer than 50 Islamic organizations had received funding under the program, largely due to “concerns about the potential strings attached” to accepting the federal funds….

No such thing as a moderate muslim, they all read the same vile quran, the book of death and destruction
pfwag says
Moderate Muslims are apostates who do not believe and act upon what the Quran commands all Muslims to do: kill the kafirs and conquer the world for Allah. Apostates are also to be killed.

It’s a strange genocide indeed where the number of “Palestinians” keeps growing larger every year – but as we know, with Islam everything seems to be backwards. If anyone is trying to carry out genocide it’s the Muslims trying to do it against the Jews. The Islamic scriptures actually say as much.
commonsense says
From the article…Chuck Ross, its author, reports:
“A majority of the grants have gone to synagogues, churches, mosques, and temples that do not support violence or promote terrorist organizations.”
I wish Ross would identify even ONE mosque receiving government grants that does not support violence or promote terrorist organizations. …I’ll wait.
commonsense says
Postscript to my comment: How would Ross know with any certainty that a mosque eschews violence or terrorism? I’ve noticed that mosques in my area no longer post dubious content on their respective websites or facebook pages. Qutbas, if uploaded, are delivered in Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Afghani, etc. but not in English. Announcements of upcoming holidays or events are written to avoid suspicion. Muslims are not fools.
pfwag says
One has to be a fool to be a Muslim however the greater fools are the West .who can not see or comprehend that Islam is much worse than the Nazis ever were.and that they are taking over from within.

Back some years ago, a study was done regarding the mozlum barracks and what they had to say about terrorism.. Nearly 100% had printed materials on hand, which materials promoted terrorism. (the small number which had none, imo, had just run out and hadn’t yet received another shipment.)
The reason the mozlums in NYC protested so much about the cops going into their barracks was because they didn’t want the authorities to know what they were saying.
No church or other religious body should care if a few officers of LE are in attendance if they have nothing to hide….no preaching about murder, rape and terrorism. But, the mozlums carried on as if the police were holding them all at gun-point and calling them names.
If a non-mozlum wanted to know what was going on in the barracks, they would have to pretend to be mozlum so the mozlums would act as normal, sit and bend as they listened to the cleric.
The “majority” if not the entirety, would be preaching hate, rape and murder.
