CAIR’s Latest Fundraising Letter
We thought SFW readers would like to see the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) latest fundraising efforts, since CAIR was identified as an affiliate of HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood in terrorism investigations and prosecutions. CAIR was named an un-indicted co-conspirator in the US v the Holy Land Foundation, the largest successful […]
Ryan Mauro of the Clarion Project has a report out regarding former New York governor and Republican presidential candidate George Pataki calling for CAIR’s tax exempt status to be revoked.

Congressman Andre Carson was recently slated to speak on a panel at a Muslim Brotherhood event in Chicago (WHERE ELSE???) that included a fundraiser for the Taliban.

Investigating Islamic Charities
Here is an interesting article that cites SFW’s work on the role of Islamic charities in funding Jihad… http://wdfp.podbean.com/p/investigating-us-based-islamic-charities/
Rahim Sabadia was essentially a one-man crime wave with extensive ties to the Muslim Brotherhood’s Council on American Islamic Relations, troubling mosques and the notorious terrorist charity, the Holy Land Foundation.

Controversial US Department of Homeland Security Advisor Mohamed Elibiary is on record as defending a man convicted in the largest terrorism financing prosecution in US history, the US v the Holy Land Foundation.

OpEdNews Column: The Dark Side of Saudi Petrodollars
There is a nice column over on OpEdNews by a man named Brian Lynch touching on Saudi Arabia’s funding of Jihadist terrorism. The column doesn’t break any new ground, but it does provide links to other recent columns by other authors dealing with the same subject matter. It is also interesting in that the column […]
Foreign Donors Funneling Money to CAIR Through Non-Profit Shell Game
Everyone needs to check out the blockbuster report on The Daily Caller which pulls back the veil on CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations. The report demonstrates that CAIR is essentially running a foreign influence operation. Unable to support their activities from domestic sources, CAIR has turned to overseas oil-rich Islamists. International donors, like […]

Money Jihad blog has an excellent synopsis of Arab Bank’s activities, which we can’t possibly improve upon: The judge’s ruling can be paraphrased as: Well, Arab Bank may have […]
More on the “End of the Line” for the Holy Land Foundation
Two days ago we reported on the legal challenge to the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing conviction and the fact that the US Supreme Court had denied the appeal: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2012/10/30/another-important-victory-the-holy-land-foundation-trial-redux/ The good folks at the Investigative Project on Terrorism published a similar report which we think is worth examining: The United States Supreme Court has […]

FaithFreedom.org has an extensive file on the Murfreesboro mosque controversy and they have now expanded that file with information on the “money man” behind the mosque.

We thought that SFW readers would be interested in this article from Islamist Watch, which indicates that Best Buy stores have essentially partnered with CAIR.

We have learned not to expect much from The Huffington Post. In fact, we make it a point to avoid it on most days. But today “HuffPo” published an article by Annalisa Musarra of the “Religion News Service” and we had to read it. It amounts to a celebration of Muslims NOT assimilating into society as […]
Correcting The New Misinformation on Islamic Charities Funding Jihadist Terrorism

When ever we see misguided and ignorant […]
Earlier this month, SFW brought to its readers a report on the possible motives of the Holder Justice Department not to prosecute CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) for its role in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing scheme: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2011/07/07/report-attorney-general-eric-holder-protected-hamas-linked-council-on-american-islamic-relations-for-political-reasons/ Over at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government site, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, has an article about […]

House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Peter King (R-NY) confirmed elements of Patrick Poole’s work earlier this month at Pajamas Media on the Department of Justice scuttling terror finance prosecutions against prominent Islamic leaders, including CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad, for political reasons. King fired off a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding answers why the DOJ […]
This is a must-read folks. In a just world, Holder would be under investigation for this… …a number of leaders of Islamic organizations (all of whom publicly opposed the King hearings on Muslim radicalization) were about to be indicted on terror finance support charges by the U.S. attorney’s office in Dallas, which had been investigating […]
