Man, I bet Katie Couric is going to LEAD with this.

[phillyfanatic]

Now we need the FBI to raid all the mosques in America. Every one of them.

No - I'm not fond of illegal immigrants either, but Latinos don't tend to run around blowing folks up. The people that do that all seem to be muslim. Until the 'moderate muslims' about which we continue to hear, stand up and help do something about the crazies in their religion, yes - I have a problem with all muslims.

You're welcome to consider this sad. I consider 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11/01 to be sadder.

My Christian, Middle-Eastern friends know EXACTLY which stores/restaurants are run by Muslims. They won't shop in them. They say that the Muslims stores send $$$$ back to the Middle East to help terrorists. Really helps alot if you can speak Arabic, though. So I won't shop in them either.

Childish argument in my opinion. I'm glad it's a free country for me to shop where I want and you shop where you want.

[SunkenCiv]

Ping!

[HKMk23]

YIKES! And to think I got lectured for running with scissors.

[AmeriBrit]

Thankyou for the ping piasa.

Amazing how all these legs always lead back to the 'Oil-For-Food' scandal and the years of the Clinton administration. If GW Bush hadn't won the 2000 election and the plans for Gore to be President hadn't been shattered, Saddam would more than likely still be in power in Iraq and the OFF would still be filling the pockets of all the rats who had a hand in it.

GW Bush taking over the reins as President sure did upset their lifelong plans.

The close relationship and many visits between the Clinton's and Abdulrahman Alamoudi was not because he was such 'a nice guy'.

[windchime]

You're welcome!

[Fred Nerks]

Islamic Charity=Money for Terrorism. That's how mohammad set it up!

[potlatch]

Thanks Dave!

[Farmer Dean]

They gotta get a few things done right,it being an election year and all.....

[2ndClassCitizen]

"civil rights officer", my experience has been that most if not all of them promote the civil rights of some by taking away the civil rights of others. Hence my name, 2nd class citizen. Do not be surprised by the company civil rights officers keep. They are not promoting equality.

An official with a Muslim charity based in Southfield that was raided this week said Tuesday that the group is still open and accepting donations.

Mohammed Alomari, an official with Life for Relief and Development, said that the charity is continuing to operate.

The charity was raided Monday morning by federal agents with the FBI and IRS who are part of the Joint Terrorist Task Force. The raid was based on sealed search warrants, but an attorney with the charity has said that the raid might be related to activity the charity did inside Iraq before the war started in 2003.

Alomari and other Life officials were at the Southfield offices on Tuesday. The charity plans to hold a press conference on Thursday, said Dawud Walid, head of the Michigan branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

In a statement released Tuesday, Life officials said that the raid came as a total shock and surprise to the staff and officers of the charity. They said that Life has been open about its work and places a high priority on transparency and adherence to all appropriate legal guidelines.

According to charity officials, Life has distributed more than $50 million since it was founded in 1992, mainly to Muslim regions around the world.

here is an example of one thread of the major pipeline of money flow that has been gushing for decades......

Coupon Redemption Fraud

I heard about this connection after 9-11 and put it together because I noticed that for years, every time I bought a sunday paper from a convenience store ( like 7-11), with Islamic owners, the coupons were missing.

I heard a story on the news that millions in coupon fraud were funnelled from USA, to Afghanistan to fund the Taliban in the name of the Red Crescent charity.

[x_plus_one]

Alomari's book, "The Secrecy of Evil", and other writings allege Jewish control of the world and the Bush administration.

Traditional literature in a liberal democracy. Too bad the muzzies aren't aware of how obnoxiously self-righteous they are.

No need, using an ea in pieces was funny enough. Not exactly the Red Cross.

I overjoyed that the FBI raided this front for terror. The fundamental purpose of Islam is to force conversion or tax. The process by which they accomplish either is through violence. So, to raise money in the name of Islam is to support terror. That's all there is to it.
