Is the U.S. Department of the Treasury undertaking a new role? Taking its newest press release as an example, one could be excused to imagine that our Treasury Department has decided that it is now our next Department of Muslim Outreach.
Today, Treasury released this statement:
Treasury Department Statement Marking the Beginning of RamadanOK, we all remember the incident from July where NASA administrator Charles Bolden announced that the Space Administration's new role was to be "Muslim outreach." We might also remember that the White House tried to pooh-pooh that claim even as it was later confirmed that our rocket scientists were more interested in the political gladhanding of Muslims than it was in, well… rocket science.WASHINGTON – As Muslims in the United States and around the world begin their observance of Ramadan, the U.S. Department of the Treasury recognizes the importance of this period of intense devotion, reflection and charitable giving. Charitable giving and philanthropy are core American values, reflected in many faiths and traditions, and are of particular significance within the Muslim faith during the holy month of Ramadan.
The Treasury Department fully supports the ability of American Muslims – and Muslims worldwide – to fulfill their religious obligations through charitable giving and seeks to advance charitable giving at home and abroad, while protecting the charitable sector from the threat posed by those who seek to abuse this sacred obligation. In recent years, Treasury has strengthened its partnership with the charitable sector and donor community to promote transparency and to safeguard against such abuse.
The Treasury Department will continue to work closely with the charitable sector and Muslim American communities to promote our common goals of safe and effective charitable activity and to protect the sector from exploitation by terrorist organizations. We look forward to the continued development of this partnership.

So what about Treasury?...
Read the rest at Publiusforum.com...
NASA, State Department....and TREASURY?
Any outreach to a religious group, in the eyes of the ACLU, should be considered a supposed violation of the “church and state” prohibition by the Constitution. /sarc
LOL...we are on the same track! I came in to post the same.
National debt balloons, budget deficit explodes, economy reels; US Treasury commemorates beginning of Ramadan. Do they also commemorate Christmas and Passover?
You mean our”MUSLIM”muslim-loving president,don’t you?
I am observing the month via Spoonerism. See tagline.
Treasury?...”spread the wealth”
NASA?.... Give them missile / delivery systems for nuclear devices
Talk about a parallel universe. Welcome to the road to hell.
So now our State Department (Hillary Clinton) AND Treasury Department are raising funds for and promoting our own destruction.
I see that road cutting a wide swath across our nation, but I will not step a foot on it. I am also committed to work for the destruction of that road and replacing it with the Way!
Eventually, we will all see this....but there are still a great many people who have to learn by a more difficult route (continuing the metaphor).
;-)
This is OUT OF CONTROL!!!
BLOAT
next first was Homeland Security
next first was Homeland Security
Sorry, but Moslem “philanthropic groups” and “philanthropists”, “charities” and “charitable givers” don`t give one stinkin`riyal to anyone but themselves and their agenda cronies...
Is it just me, or do I smell the onset of “Sharia finance” as an official function of the federal government?
Us Dhimmies have probably, for all intents and purposes, been paying Zakat for some time now - only here the IRS serves as the Caliphate’s collection agency.
Fail to submit taxes, and the IRS may not burn your house down with your family in it (unless you foolishly resist) or saw your head off with a rusty bayonet like the Muslim “Religious Police” would likely do for failure to pay your Zakat, but after they get done with you you might wish they had.
Welcome to dhimmitude, America.
Maybe they will replace the “In God We Trust” on money with “Allah Willing this counrty is toast”.
