Department of Justice: Funneling tax payer funds to Islamic Groups
According to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, an 86-page report issued by the office of U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) states that the Department of Justice (DOJ) in recent years has conducted outreach work with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). ISNA was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2007 trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, a now-defunct pseudo-charity that had funneled large sums of money to the terror group Hamas. Most notably, in September 2007 DOJ co-sponsored ISNA’s national convention - with American taxpayer dollars.
Established in 1981 by the by the Saudi-funded Muslim Students’ Association of the U.S. and Canada (MSA), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) calls itself the largest Muslim organization on the continent. ISNA was created by MSA with the help of one of Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s founding students, Sami Al-Arian.
