Frankly, I don't know how much more the American taxpayer is going to take. It's awful enough that the nation is embroiled in a battle to stop an Islamic supremacist mega mosque at Ground Zero.
We found out last week that the State department was funding the radical imam's trip to the Middle East despite the Imam's anti-American and deeply troubling statements, i.e., "we tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hands of innocent non Muslims."
Now it's Daisy the con's turn. The American taxpayer is funding her trip to Muslim countries overseas. This on top of news the Ground Zero supremacist mega mosque may get public funding.
America is broken.
Claudia Rosett reports in Forbes:
Among the prime planners of a $100 million Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero, it's not just Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf who is visiting the Middle East this summer at U.S. taxpayer expense. The State Department is also about to send Rauf's wife and Cordoba Initiative fellow director, Daisy Khan, on her own taxpayer-funded "public diplomacy" trip to the United Arab Emirates. Khan is scheduled to visit the UAE from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, overlapping there with Rauf, for whom it will be the final leg of a three-country trip including Bahrain and Qatar.
The U.S. Embassy in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi has posted on its website an announcement of the impending visit by this husband-wife team. Rauf and Khan will be there, the announcement says, "to engage foreign audiences and build people-to-people ties" and to "discuss their experiences as Muslims living and working in the United States."
