ACLU Sticks Up for Group That Funds Terrorism
Even today, ICNA Relief and Helping Hand (ICNA’s Pakistan-based charity) are both listed as “partners,” along with their logos, to AKF’s Al-Khidmat Welfare Society (AKWS).
Khurshid Khan, the individual featured on the ACLU video, was president of ICNA during the transaction. The ICNA president before him, Zulfiqar Ali Shah, had also been the president of the South Asia division of Kind Hearts, when the Ohio-based Islamic charity was shut down by the U.S. government in 2006 for raising millions of dollars for Hamas.
Tariq Rahman, the other individual featured on the video, was the executive director of ICNA Relief, but stepped down from the position roughly a year previous to the transaction. According to the ACLU, he is currently running the charity.
The Mashaal affair was not the only occasion that ICNA has been associated with the funding of terror. Before the 9/11 attacks, the organization was asking its followers to donate to groups associated with al-Qaeda.
In May 2000, ICNA launched a website for its southeast division, which at the time was located in the state of Florida. Today, the chapter is headquartered in the Norcross suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. On the website’s homepage was a prominent link to Qoqaz.net (Jihad in Chechnya), a site that was actively raising funds and recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda. The site was a project of Azzam Publications, an organization named for Osama bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam.
Directly above the link was a message from then-national president of JI, Muhammad Yunus, which stated in part: “We must show our spiritual and material support for our brothers and sisters being oppressed by Russian forces.” Yunus is presently a national director of ICNA and the registered agent for ICNA’s corporation.
Along with links to the official websites of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Taliban, the message with the Qoqaz link stayed up on the homepage for at least two weeks and two days following 9/11.
As this author has pointed out in the past, providing material support to a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) is illegal. And like the JI/ICNA relationship with regard to the Hamas transaction, ICNA has a relationship with the U.S.-based administrator for Qoqaz, Mazen Mokhtar. Mokhtar has been involved with ICNA’s Why Islam (WI) religious outreach (dawah) project. Mokhtar is currently featured on a WI video, which is found on the homepage of the WI-Sacramento, California, website entitled “Why Islam Introduction.”
Whether the ACLU knew or did not know about these things prior to going into production with its video is anyone’s guess. But regardless of that, ICNA should not and is in no position to be criticizing the Bush administration’s decision to close and freeze the funds of terrorist charities.
If ICNA is affected in any way by the government’s actions, it should be that it is shut down as well.
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.
