Prosecutors say building owners illegally funneled money to Iran
NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.
In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.
The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

Racism and misunderstanding!
Where is that worthless POS General Casey to cast shame onto the FBI for making "diversity" into a "casualty" in New York?
Tsk, tsk!
the pubchline comes when bambam cuts these ragheads a 5 Billion dollar check for our DHS acting stupidly...
Sell the building, burn the mosques.
Fly a drone plane into the skyscraper!
F*** Obummer!
Lets all have a beer and discuss it
Jeez almost everything else is banned, Why not Muzzies?
I understand that the White House has also been taken over. Could the FBI possibly repo the Oval Office?

Omoslem’s gonna get on the Red Phone to Mecca, begging forgiveness.
President Diaper Head.
What a piece of work.
I’m actually keeping a list of people I know who voted for this g***amn moslem.
If they ever provide advice to me, I’m planning to slap them in the head.
So, I assume a Fed takeover of the city of Dearborn, MI will be next.
Well clearly the Feds are acting stupidly. Time for a beer summit.
Next, The White House.
Go after the Saudis next. They are a far more pernicious influence in the USA.
So, 13 dead and 30 wounded is what it takes to start action against moslem scum in America?
lol
Correct. However bigwigs in both parties are beholden to the Saudis. Good luck with government going after Saudi/Wahabbi assets.
American arrogance! /sarc
POLITICALLY INCORRECT!
I’m going to report this to Obama!
We can’t have the Muzzies getting P.O.’D at us!
Why they may go JIHAD and do us Infidels harm...
first thing i thought of is maybe they “got” some intel from interviewing all those folks right after the ft. hood shooting and it led to this. Then again, maybe the feds are having a quick brush with sanity and shutting down some of these places. I guess we better enjoy this while we can? It seems the “post tragedy” response only lasts for about a month before they go back to their pre 9/11 mentality.
MSNBC the biggest Obama organization is reporting this. My first thought is they’re trying to cover for him because of the Ft. Hood terrorism. Attempting to make Obama look like he really is on the job. This is just all too convenient. This bust was just made days after Ft. Hood? Our government truly is playing us for suckers. Like you said, be thankful they did this much - even if it was for the wrong reasons. Because, they may soon go back to their pre-9/11 mentality.
Rut Roh!! Does Obama know about this?? Someones in big trouble...
I think they should turn the mosques into Hooters. Or maybe pork barbecue joints with an attached strip club LOL.
LQ
I like the Hooters and BBQ pit ideas but I don’t think the strip club thing would work as they seem to attract jihadis. Perhaps a dog grooming shop or liquor store, or a bikini shop. Why not combine them all.
“the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company. “
Obama will spend it in 5 minutes.
