Jihad Smaili, a Cleveland attorney who represents KindHearts

Unfortunate first name. He should change it to Bob, or something. Might make his job of convincing the authorities that the "charity" is not connected to terrorism a bit easier.

It's changed a lot.

If you drive south on Genessee from Clairmont, and turn left at the first signal - you see row after row of apartments - and it's obvious there is a large presence of muslims there. This is the location where the 2 hijackers were living while they were training to fly.

I kept checking for a couple of hours after their 10 pm newscast - and they never had anything about it on their website. It's such a hot story - check back today and maybe they will have it up on the website.

A KindHearts primer

Monday, February 20, 2006

What is KindHearts?

A Toledo-based nonprofit that collects more than $4 million a year in donations, making it one of the largest Muslim charities in the United States.

Why did the government raid KindHearts' offices and freeze its assets?

The Treasury Department has accused KindHearts of funneling money to Hamas, which the government considers a terrorist organization.

Who runs KindHearts?

Khaled Smaili of Toledo founded it in 2002. He is a former fund-raiser for Global Relief Foundation, a charity that the United States shut down for funding terrorism. Jihad Smaili, Khaled Smaili's brother, serves on KindHearts' board of directors and is the group's attorney from his downtown Cleveland office.

Where does the money go?

KindHearts insists that most of it goes to help needy Palestinians in both the Palestinian territories and Lebanon. The U.S. government claims that KindHearts is also supporting Hamas.

How does KindHearts raise money?

Through its Web site, www.kind-hearts.org, and at fund-raisers held across the country, usually at mosques.

When did KindHearts open?

In 2002, after the U.S. government closed the three largest Muslim charities in the country, accusing each of supporting terror.

I like Howard, and quite a bit...but I wonder from reading that article, his comments, if there really is an distinction between "'extreme' muslims" and "muslims" because, what he describes pretty well sums up the ideology and behavior by the ideology itself. And, thus, is the affect, potentially, of all of them.

Peter King: Dubai Ports Company in 'al-Qaida Heartland'


House Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King ratcheted up the rhetoric Monday morning on the Bush administration's decision to permit Dubai Ports World to control six major U.S. ports, saying the company is based in "the heartland of al-Qaida."

"By having a company right out of the heartland of al-Qaida managing those ports without being properly cleared or investigated, to me is madness," Rep. King told ABC News.

King cited "a number of reports about the port of Dubai itself, about weapons going through that port, to Iran, about corruption, and again about an al-Qaida presence. And I know there was no real investigation done on this matter."

King said he intends to ask President Bush to "freeze the contract [on the ports takeover], put it on hold, take no action till a full and complete investigation is done."

The Dubai company's ports takeover was approved last month by the Committee on Foreign Investment, headed by Treasury Secretary John Snow.

Over the weekend, both Homeland Security czar Michael Chertoff and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice insisted that the Dubai ports deal had been thoroughly reviewed and posed no threat to national security.

During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," however, Chertoff said he couldn't discuss details of the review because they were classified.

Rep. King said approval of the controversial deal was granted because "bureaucrats" had applied pre-9/11 standards.

"This is a classic situation, I think, of bureaucrats who just missed the boat here," he explained. "This went through. They were applying business as usual [rules] and they forgot it was post-9/11."

Unless President Bush intervenes, the Dubai ports takeover is set to commence on March 1.

Ops4 God Bless America!

I think the Aramaic on the office's door may have been a clue that this is a terrorist front.

I love Howard. One of the few leaders actually fighting the war on terror.

Thank God for Emerson. He knows what he is talking about. These guys will always be incredulous and say "It's a witch hunt. Our name is Kind Hearts. We are really nice people".
