On Friday, The Washington Free Beacon posted an article about a program funded by the Biden administration that was supposed to protect Jewish institutions against the rising anti-Semitism in America and around the world.
The article reports:
The Biden White House and Senate Democrats have touted their funding for an anti-terrorism initiative they say “has been critical to the security of Jewish institutions.” But the program has given hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent months to mosques whose clerics have preached anti-Semitic hate, cheered Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, and been accused of raising money for terrorist groups.
The Department of Homeland Security has awarded $150,000 in grants since November to Masjid Jamaat al Mumineen, the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent, and the Islamic Center of Bothell as part of its “Nonprofit Security Grant Program,” according to federal records. The program gives taxpayer funds to nonprofits and religious groups deemed “at high risk of terrorist attack” to help enhance security.
President Joe Biden touted the program last year as an example of the administration’s “aggressive” actions to counter anti-Semitism and “protect Jewish institutions.”
But the mosques have condoned the kinds of violence the grant program aims to prevent. In a sermon last month, Nader Taha, the imam of the Islamic Society of Akron & Kent, called the Oct. 7 attacks a “miracle” that “planted the seed of freedom in the heart of not just only the Muslim world, but the whole world.”
Mosques that preach Islamism are common in America. An Islamist is someone who supports the idea of a world-wide caliphate with sharia law. There are already sharia courts in Britain, and the goal of the Islamists (Muslim Brotherhood) is to bring sharia law to America. All of this is outlined in the government exhibits in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. If you are unfamiliar with that trial, the search engine at the top of this page will provide you with information.
There are many Muslims who simply want to practice their religion in peace. Unfortunately, you only need one or two terrorists to create a problem. Mosques that preach the doctrine of the Muslim Brotherhood are scattered throughout America and should not be given any money for any reason by our government.
The article concludes:
The Department of Homeland Security provides little insight into how it selects grant recipients. According to a DHS fact sheet, Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas makes all “final funding determinations” about which organizations will receive grants. The agency screens applicants for red flags by checking U.S. intelligence agencies for any “derogatory information.” The agency also prioritizes organizations that are deemed to be in “disadvantaged” areas.
The White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and the mosques did not respond to requests for comment.
