Late this afternoon the federal government move to seize the assets of the Alavi Foundation, a "charitable front" for Iranian terror activities.
The Alavi Foundation claims that its goals are to "promote understanding and harmony among people of different religions"; "promote the study of the humanities, arts, and pure and applied sciences"; "giv[e] assistance to public charitable organizations during times of hardship and deprivation caused by war or natural disasters"; and "provid[e] financial assistance to not-for-profit organizations that are involved in the teaching of Islamic culture and the Persian language."
Former FBI official Oliver Revell has stated that the Alavi Foundation is "a front organization for the Iranian regime that is engaged in covert intelligence activity on the part of a hostile foreign government." That intelligence consists, in part, of monitoring Iranian dissidents in the U.S. by means of technological espionage. David Cohen of the New York Police Department intelligence division says the Alavi Foundation is "totally controlled by the government of Iran" and "funds a variety of anti-American causes" including the Potomac Center and other mosques. U.S. intelligence officials characterize Alavi as a vehicle through which the Iranian regime "keeps tabs on Iranians [in the United States], obtains data about U.S. technology, promotes Tehran's views on world affairs, provides gathering places for pro-Iran activists, and channels money to U.S. academics to gain a friendly reading on Iran."

promote understanding and harmony among people of different religions
they mean,
submit to Islam or die infidel!
No doubt they get that friendly reading pretty cheap in the US.
Out Academics have been traitors for decades.
I saw a thread here on FR earlier today that reported Hasan had sent money to Pakistan. Could it be that he gave money to this organization too? It will be interesting to see if his name shows up on the donor list.
Do you think they scratched off all them OBAMA stickers before the bust?
All they are allowed to do is post signs on the property???
This is nothing more than more empty headlines.
There were no raids Thursday as part of the forfeiture action. The government is simply required to post notices of the civil complaint on the property.
Are we supposed to believe a word the FBI says anymore? Sorry, no can do.
In public, Odumbo will congratulate the investigation and say that he will have it followed to the end of prosecution.
In private, he will pressure the investigators to drop the charges and kiss the imams asses to “make-nice” with the barbarians in Tehran, like Mahood Amadinnerjacket.
I believe the Chicago based Nation of Islam which is in Obama's old Hyde Park Neighborhood - is connected to the Saudi type Wahhabism... adds support to your theory.
