[history]
NEW YORK (AP) - A convicted money smuggler was a key fund-raiser for an Islamic charity he knew financed terrorism, and once used an airport bathroom to secretly deliver $10,000 to the group, prosecutors allege.
Alaa Al-Saadawi later "defied logic" by telling investigators he gave the $10,000 to a member of the Global Relief Foundation in a bathroom stall at Chicago's O'Hare Airport because he was "scared of gangsters," according to papers filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

His explanation to investigators "for why he needed to pass money under a bathroom stall defies logic," the papers said.
he's just shy when he passes $10,000 to the guy in the next stall ... after all, he couldn't go in the same stall with the guy, could he? ... that would be wEiRD ... so, just put the $10,000 on the filthy floor and kick it over ... ummm, yeah ... and then there's Quaker Oats, and Ritz Crackers and Baby Wipes ... it's the easiest way to carry cash ...
oh, no ... I'm sure he wasn't funding terrorism or anthing like that ... nah, no way ...

WHATTA COUNTRY:
- You can panhandle for your halfassed Muslim charity in the richest, most generous nation on Earth;
- You can try to divert a portion of those donations to Muslim terrorists bent on destroying that richest, most generous nation on Earth; and
- When caught and prosecuted, you can be defended, at taxpayer expense, by a Jewish lawyer.
