Move to Cut off ISNA Funding

I think it would be better if all federal funding was cut off to unindicted co-conspirators in terror cases. That way CAIR loses any of their support, too. But cutting off Justice Department funding is a good start.

The ISNA is much worse than CAIR. The ISNA is the North American affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood. Its long-term goal is the establishment of Sharia law. WaTimes:

Legislation is moving through Congress to block the Justice Department from providing financial support to participate in conventions held by groups designated by the government as unindicted co-conspirators in federal court cases.

The measure sponsored by Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican, is in response to the department's recent participation in a convention held by the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The Justice Department named ISNA as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation, which the government is prosecuting for raising $12 million for Hamas. As the trial proceeded last month, Justice officials sponsored a booth at ISNA's annual convention, angering some Republicans.

Will Democrats and the White House dare to oppose the measure? Magic 8 Ball says: Definitely.

I also hear that my friend Aaron will be on Fox News in a few minutes discussing the ISNA. Check it out.
