ACLU Sticks Up for Group That Funds Terrorism
Recently the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) produced a video complaining about how Muslim charitable groups have been negatively affected by the Bush administration’s crackdown on terrorist charities. The ACLU chose leaders and patrons of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) to make its point.
It was a poor choice, as ICNA itself has been tied to terrorist financing.
The latest ACLU video has found its way onto the homepage of ICNA. It begins with then-President George W. Bush speaking at a 2001 press conference concerning the “financial aspects of terrorism.” He is shown stating the following: “Al-Qaeda has international supporters. And some of those supporters hide themselves in the disguise of charity.”
The press conference took place shortly after the government shut down and froze the bank accounts of the three largest Muslim charities in the United States: the al-Qaeda-linked Benevolence International Foundation (BIF) and Global Relief Foundation (GRF), and the Hamas-linked Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HRF).
In November 2008, HRF, along with five of its top leaders, was found guilty of funneling more than twelve million dollars to Hamas.
Given what the government knew about these groups, one would think that their closures could only be seen as a good and important, if not an entirely necessary, action to take. However, ICNA, backed by the ACLU, does not view this as a positive achievement. To the contrary, it sees it as an exploitation of Muslims under a false banner of “War on Terror,” which it claims has caused members of the Islamic community to stop giving to charity.
On the video, former national president (ameer) of ICNA, Khurshid Khan, complains: “It has very badly affected the donations, because people now shy away, because they are scared.”
Another ICNA representative, Muhammad Tariq Rahman, says on the video: “You want to make a political statement. You close down a couple of Muslim charities. You create a fear factor. You create hype in the community, saying that, ‘Oh look, Muslims are giving overseas, and they’re doing this and that,’ which is not true.”
But it is true — at least in part of the community — and one has only to look at ICNA itself to see that that is the case.
In August 2006, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), otherwise known as the Muslim Brotherhood of Pakistan, announced on its website that its charity, the Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF), had traveled to Damascus to the home of the global head of Hamas, Khaled Mashaal. They sent well wishes from the president of JI and presented Mashaal with six million rupees — the equivalent of 99 thousand U.S. dollars. Accompanying the group was a Dr. Hafiz Ur Rehman. Mashaal thanked the group for the money and proceeded to declare that Hamas was going to continue to wage “jihad” (terrorist acts) against “the Zionist yoke” (Israel).
At the time of the Hamas transaction, ICNA was listed on AKF’s website as the top two donors to AKF — “ICNA Relief USA” and “ICNA Relief Canada,” the titles of ICNA’s two North American charities.
Of course, this was no small mistake on ICNA’s part, as ICNA is the American affiliate of JI.
Typical. ACLU usually on the wrong side of liberty and America.
Of course the ACLU sides with a gay beheading, jew-hating, anti-American, religious totalitarian, free speech abridging, mysogonist, female genitalia mutilating, stoning to death, lawless, caliphate desiring, kill the infidels group. They have similar goals.
Thank God for the McArthur, Ford, Heinz/Tides, Soros foundations that finance this terrorist group—ACLU.
NO a thousand times over. they pick and choose their targets, they are not for your rights as a common citizen.

“The founder of the American Civil Liberties Union was a card-carrying communist whose goal was to undermine the Judeo-Christian foundations of America, according to author David Kupelian.
The ACLU is “engaged in trying to eliminate every vestige of Judeo-Christian expression in public places in America,” Kupelian explained in his landmark book, The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom, according to a review by Agape press. “It’s frightening — and they are using our tax dollars to do this. They use the laws of the land to get American taxpayers to spend their hard-earned money, actually financing their own destruction.”
The ultimate goal of the ACLU is to see an America “with little or no public vestige left of religious faith and the traditional family,” according to the Alliance Defense Fund’s Alan Sears and Craig Osten, who wrote the book, THE ACLU vs. AMERICA.
The goals of the ACLU were clear from the group’s founding, as indicated by the writings of its founder, Roger Baldwin: “I am for socialism, disarmament, and ultimately for abolishing the state itself as an instrument of violence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class… Communism is the goal.”
The ACLU “positions itself as the great defender of rights, [but] is against the right of parents not to allow their children to participate in assemblies and curricula that actively undermine and ridicule their religious beliefs,” according to Sears and Osten, commenting on the ACLU’s successful bid to force public school children in California to attend classes that indoctrinate them with homosexual propaganda.

Check out the crescent moon, it is upside down, aka the horns of the bull. The Islamic circle is in the middle over the crescent. The circle, usually a sun disk is the spirit of Lucifer the morning star.
The ACLU/BLT agenda will support the false religion of Islam as their goals are the same. Do not take my word for it, Google the crescent and the sun disk. You will find the source of all pagan religions on earth. It starts at the Tower of Babel.
ROPMA!
Hello,
We present our site
http://www.islam-documents.org
(which is the improvment of the other islam-documents.com, once based in Tunisia).
There is thousands of texts (around 20 000) about the origins of islam, with a critical, humanist, and scientific view (and even ironical). It is now the bigger “sourcebook” on that subject, with often unpublished documents: Muhammad biographies (SIRA), the main books of traditions (HADITH) , muslim chronicles (TABARI…), companions biographies (TABAQAT), quranic verses, quranic commentaries (TAFSIR).7
A new version is now available, improved and corrected: around 3700 pages. We are working for a new version published every year.
All is in french. so sorry. but you need to read it to understand muslim thinking and acts.
Bye. Take care.
The following is in English, and tells one all they need to know about a moon god called Allah: Twin Towers 2001, Twin Towers 1993, Kobar Towers, USS Cole, Hamas and Hizboallah death to Israel, Mumbi, The Sudan, and a host of terror attacks by those who follow Mohamed, and worship Allah.
Yea, it’s the religion of peace. It is called Islam.
