gotta do it by the numbers, no mistakes ...
There is a big cover up going on here.
Someone sponsored this 503C group and they have hearings in the House to get approved for 503C exemptions.
So, the question is who in the House of Representatives gave the stamp of approval to this group.
The stupid media needs to look into this and ask questions and who voted for them at the hearing that stamped approval of this 503C.
Come on media, I'm challenging you
The last name of Holy Land's Chairman, Shukri Abu Baker, caught my eye in light of this being a Texas charity. I know Baker is a common name, but please tell me there is no relation to former Sec. of State James Baker.
Murray said, according to the Vancouver Columbian newspaper, that bin Laden has been "out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that."
Thanks for the heads up, Grampa.Yes, I have posted quite a number of articles of these terrorist supporters. They claim they are a charity organization helping women and children - otherwise known as what Reuters et al call "Suicide Bombers". I call them Homicide Bombers.
Glad to see this indictment. These idjits are about 20 minutes down the road from my house.
Kerry DoJ ? Isn't Ms Gore-Lick in line for that spot ?
Good question considering they were under investigation since 1994 and I believe there were indictsment in 95' 96',they were also the home of the IAP, Islamic Association for Palestine, whose homepage logo used to be the same as Hamas.
Joe Wilson's house of cards is about to tumble.
Meanwhile, these past three years, the Liberals have been saying the Bush White House hasn't been doing enough to swiftly stop terrorism.
Yep.
Then throw in the bs bought out daily by the lunatic mediots in the press and ABCNNBC BS.
It is a truly a wonder that any islamofascist organization has been uprooted or shut down.
I'm sending you via Freep Mail an interesting search re the national lawyers guild and a group that is very friendly with the NLG.

Homeland Security Appointee Under Investigation
Sunday, July 25, 2004
By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos
WASHINGTON — Officials at the Department of Homeland Security are investigating the reinstatement of a top political appointee to the agency who was briefly suspended for failing to disclose ties to a controversial Islamic organization, FOXNews.com has learned.
Faisal Gill, director of policy for intelligence at DHS, was forced to take a few days off in March after sources close to the FBI raised flags about Gill*s former position as spokesman for the American Muslim Council. The now-defunct American Muslim Council ( search) was founded in 1990 to lobby Washington for the interests of American Muslims and had been involved in community activism to that end. AMC was established and headed by Abdurahman Alamoudi ( search), who was indicted in 2003 on passport fraud and illegal finance activities with Libya. Court documents call Alamoudi an active supporter of Hamas (search), which the U.S. State Department considers a terrorist organization, and an official in an international charity group run by Usama Bin Laden*s nephew. Alamoudi recently told federal officials he was part of a plot to assassinate King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
According to a report first published last month by Salon.com reporter Mary Jacoby, Gill omitted his role with the American Muslim Council when he filed his employment application and requisite security clearances at the agency. Gill left off his "Standard Form 86" that he served as AMC?s spokesman in 2001. Homeland Security officials refused to comment on the report, but a spokeswoman for the department*s internal watchdog told FOXNews.com that Inspector General Clark Kent Ervin is ?looking further into the issue? of Gill*s employment at the department.
"He*s taking it seriously," said Tamara Faulkner, who would not confirm what kind of probe was being undertaken, but said reports of Gill?s re-instatement in light of his sensitive security position and failure to disclose a past affiliation with the AMC was at the heart of it. "I don*t know where it is at this point," she said. (well golly gee, .. shucks).
Capitol Hill sources as well as other sources close to the FBI confirmed Gill*s alleged omission of his ties to AMC led to his temporary removal from his post at Homeland Security. They added his employment there continues to be a source of curiosity.
According to sources close to the FBI, Gill, who also was director of government affairs for the Islamic Free Market Institute ( search) in Washington, D.C., was reinstated at DHS after a thorough background check.
Gill*s reinstatement has raised questions because of his link to Alamoudi, who was once a paid consultant of the U.S. State Department hired to forward the interests of Muslim, Jewish and Christian reconciliation. Soon after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, a videotape surfaced featuring Alamoudi fueling an anti-Israel rally in front of the Clinton White House in 2000 and declaring support for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist organizations. Gill did not return phone calls or e-mails for comment.
Concern on Capitol Hill
Lawmakers and political observers are expressing concern about men with such ties being given access to high-level positions in the White House, and Gill*s employment at Homeland Security has invigorated a smoldering debate among Republicans. If a person worked in any capacity for the American Muslim Council, that had to be disclosed;
"it*s unconscionable not to disclose that if you are going to work for the Department of Homeland Security," said Rep. Peter King ( search), R-N.Y, who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee and recently published the Sept. 11-inspired novel, "Vale of Tears." ?The fact that he didn?t disclose this I think raises some serious questions, if anything, about his judgment,? King told FOXNews.com
