Muslim charity files suit to dismiss terror charges

SAN FRANCISCO -- In a new challenge to Washington over its closing of several American Muslim charities accused of aiding terrorism, the largest such group sued Monday seeking dismissal of many of the charges.

Lawyers for Holy Land, based in Richardson, Texas, filed suit in U.S. District Court in Dallas two weeks after a federal judge in California called into question a crucial provision in designating terrorist supporters.

Since December 2001, the Treasury Department has designated Holy Land and five other Muslim charities in the United States as terrorist supporters, seizing millions of dollars in assets and halting their activities.

No accused charity or any senior officer has been convicted of terrorism. Some charities have faced no criminal charges.

In a separate case against a Georgia man whom the prosecution identified as a fundraiser for Holy Land, the defendant pleaded guilty this year to sending money to Hamas, the Islamist Palestinian political party that Washington designated as a terrorist organization in 1995.

The foundation denies that the man had an official post.

Not only should their assets be seized, but anyone involved should be prosecuted and deported. Notice it was a California court that "raised questions" about the government's DOING ITS JOB in stopping these bastards from operating on American soil, so as to have access to the infamous 9th Circuit. Once again Islam is trying to use our laws to screw our country.

If they dont't like how our airlines run their business they should get to hell out of our country. I am sure the camels don't care what they do when they are aboard.

Yes, and all supported by CAIR. The 9th is a major problem, with its ultra-leftist, anti-American bent. These perps are scumbags, at least one of which was found to be connected to OBL. The naive in this country should be reminded that these third-world criminals are here for a reason, and it is not to become patriotic Americans.

"Hamanize" Hamas & their supporters.

Celebrate next Purim by declaring a two day, nationwide, open season, and rid the land of abomination. No license, no tags required....
