American Muslims ... raise more than $170,000 for San Bernardino families

Full title: American Muslims 'grieve for the victims' like any other human being,' raise more than $170,000 for San Bernardino families


On the afternoon of the San Bernardino shooting, a California doctor who helped found a health-care and social services nonprofit, set up a fundraising campaign for the victims' families.

Dr. Faisal Qazi happens to also be a Muslim-American. But the role of his faith in his initial effort was only that his religion teaches him to help neighbors in need. He planned a modest community outreach, hoping to raise $20,000 at most.

But as the motives of the shooters became known, Muslim leaders locally and nationally suggested Qazi expand his campaign to unite Muslims everywhere in support for the victims.

In the week since the massacre that killed 14 people at a company gathering at the Inland Regional Center, the American Muslim-led campaign has raised $171,093. It was for several days collecting at a rate of about $1,000 an hour.

Ah yes, money will solve their loss-typical economic thinking.

I wonder how much of that amount was donated by non-muslims.

My question about this is simple: Why would these people, if legitimately doing this out of a sense of grief and charity, follow the satanic cult and koran which advocates such evil? I smell taqqiya in the air...kind of a false flag of “charity” to make people crying out against Islam look like monsters.

Great. But I would like to see Imams in the USA standing up and condemning these acts. And if not, WHY NOT?

The US paid the families of the 9/11 attacks around $1 million each. I wonder if Obama we do the same for these families....

Doesn’t really change anything for me. They all need to be deported. The sight of them and their mosques in this country offends me. They came not to assimilate, but only to try and conquer. Call me when substantial numbers of them start calling for the queeran to be rewritten.

How many of their Muslim brothers and sisters have they turned over to the FBI for supporting ISIS? Have any of them explained to the white liberals that CAIR is a terrorist front group yet?

The money is just to buy time.

That’s all? That’s pitiful.

Good start. Now show compassion to all those you be-headed and tortured and burned alive and crucified. On second thought, just leave.

Tell them to make it $17 million.

Then maybe we’ll take their remorse seriously.

Those Muslims are either practicing taqiyya, or will be considered apostate by those who are the true face of Islam, as deserving of death as we Infidels.

Saudi Arabia needs to repay all of that money. They were the state sponsor of the terrorists that perpetrated 911.

Or maybe this small group of people did a good thing. It doesn’t change the big picture, though.

What was the official reason the taxpayers paid the 9/11 victims’ families $1 mil each? Did the us govt feel responsible, for the lack of security?

Obama paid the families of the Charleston shooter millions although I am not sure how much each family got and this was paid out super fast.
I doubt the San Bernadino families will get anything I just don’t think ohole gives a hoot.

I think many of them don’t criticize Islam because it would endanger them and their family’s lives. Best bet is for them to expose the terrorists anonymously. Or anonymously kill them.

This act is in violation of the Quaran except as an act of taqiya.
