That argument is absurd. First of all, the organization is getting money because it is religious; Islam qualifies. A road construction company run by Islamic people doesn't qualify as a non-religious, non-charity. Second, charity is much harder to track than roadwork. Finally, you say I'm appealing to bigotry when we've illustrated time and time again on this forum that very few Islamic organizations are free from anti-semitism and anti-Americanism. I think you're simply defending the party when the party has gone out of bounds with its president leading the way.
Your objection has nothing to do with why the money is being given, only its destination or its use.
Islam qualifies. A road construction company run by Islamic people doesn't qualify as a non-religious, non-charity.
Neither does funding a program run by a religious group for a non-religious purpose. Let me make it easier for you. Lets assume the local chapter of the Islams wish to build a road using unemployed's. Lets say the gov't thinks this is great. Lets assume that the gov;t funds it. You think its not right because they are run by muslims. Is that bigoted?
But your argument isn't the arguing against the Second, charity is much harder to track than roadwork.
I'm a cpa. There is no difference in tracking cash uses by charity or by company. Its quite simple.
Finally, you say I'm appealing to bigotry when we've illustrated time and time again on this forum that very few Islamic organizations are free from anti-semitism and anti-Americanism.
So what. We are a nation that allows freedom of thought.
I think you're simply defending the party when the party has gone out of bounds with its president leading the way.
You are free to think that.
