U.S. State Dept. Supports Terrorism


Our resident undersecretary of state Karen Hughes gives your money to the bad guys

A respected U.S. terrorism expert by the name of Steven Emerson told Congress last week, that a longtime adviser and close confidant of President Bush Ms. Karen Hughes funneled millions of dollars in U.S. government grants to radical Islamist organizations, many of whose leaders have been convicted or indicted in terrorism cases in the United States.

Emerson told the House International Relations Committee. “When Ms. Karen Hughes was appointed as undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, she set the tone for a disastrous policy of outreach with Islamist partners.”
Doesn't anyone in this administration know that we are as war with Islam, apparently not. This is tantamount to supporting Nazism while we were at war with Nazi Germany.

Among the recipients of the State Department grants actively championed by Hughes was Ahmed Younes, a former official with the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), a group that has “publicly challenged the designation of Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations” and whose leaders “have made extreme statements defending terrorist organizations.”

Another beneficiary of Hughes’ outreach program to American terrorists Muslims was Aly Abuzaakouk, the executive director of the American Muslim Council (AMC) and a former director of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIHT).

The North Virginia-based IIHT “is suspected of being a pivotal cog in the Muslim Brotherhood’s high command in America," according to federal law enforcement records newly released to Emerson’s Investigative Project on Terrorism under the Freedom of Information Act.

Since 2004, The State Department has provided $340,000 in taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian American Research Center (PARC), co-chaired by Columbia University professor Rashid Khalili, who served as a spokesman for late Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat at a time when the PLO was considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
In addition to the grants to known Islamist organizations, Hughes brought Islamist leaders to Washington, D.C., and personally attended conferences held by anti-American organizations. The outreach policy championed by Hughes “legitimizes Islamism to the world and sends mixed messages to our allies,” while “sending a terrible message to moderate Muslims who are thoroughly disenfranchised by the funding,” said Emerson.

Citing earlier warnings by Emerson and other experts, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., wrote to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on July 10, demanding that she instruct the State Department to cancel all outstanding grants to known terrorists Islamist groups.

When Coburn learned last year that the State Department was funding terrorists Islamist entities, he requested a meeting with Goli Ameri, who at the time was the nominee to become the assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs, the bureau that issues and manages the grants.

“During the discussion of her nomination,” the senators wrote, “Ms. Ameri promised Senator Coburn that the State Department would stop funding these entities once she was confirmed.” And yet, shortly after Ameri was confirmed, one of the groups cited by the senators and by Emerson for its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood announced that it had just received fresh funding from the State Departtment office that was now under Ameri’s control.

The new funding was awarded as a subgrant to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), “a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organization, [which] was an unindicted co-conspirator in last year’s terrorist financing trial against the Holy Land Foundation,"

Despite ISNA’s known ties to terrorist-related entities, Hughes attended the group’s 2005 national conference in Chicago, and “held private meetings with organization leaders and delegates, including representatives of the Muslim Students Association,” another “Muslim Brotherhood-linked group,”

A number of groups that the State Department has funded or collaborated with are well connected to entities such as al-Qaida, Hamas and Hezbollah, all of which are designated as terrorist organizations by the United States government, Emerson revealed in his testimony.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The burning question is: Why does the State Department spend U.S. taxpayer dollars to support our enemy the Islamic terrorists who actively oppose the foreign policy goals of the United States and subscribe to a supremacist, oppressive ideology?” Answer because our Government Administration is in blind subjugation to the Islamic deception of Taqiyyah. Moreover if something or someone doesn’t awake this sleeping giant soon, we will all need to invest in a prayer rug and study Sharia law.

May God have mercy on us and protect us from this murderous evil World Nation of Islam. May God Bless and protect America…
