He donated $20k to the Holy Land Foundation, prior to their recognition as a terror org, but when it was public knowledge that they were giving money to the children of palestinian omicide bombers. Saffuri and Norquist's Islamic Institute recieved over $150,000 in funds from Qatar, at a time when Qatar was donating $500 each to families of homicide bombers. Qatar, like Saudi Arabia, is a Wahabbi State, and is as reliable an ally. "It's OK, it's only Qatar" is not a compelling alibi for associations with the host of Al Jazeera. Saffuri was also one of several pro-Islamists who used their access to pressure Treasury Secretary O'Niell in early 2002, about Treasury's raids on the SAFA group, another since-outlawed terror org.
Saffuri's most suspicious activities revolve around his many associations with folks like Alamouhdi and Al Arian, who later turn out to be major terrorists whose capture was facilitated by the Patriot Act and similar legislation, which Saffuri has aggressively opposed.
How many terrorists, terror symps, and terror orgs have you accidentally done business with?
Yet it happens to Khaled Saffuri all the time.
