The Fethullah Gulen movement, which seeks to restore the Ottoman Empire, has found a friend and benefactor in Bill Gates of Microsoft fame. Mr. Gates is ranked the third wealthiest person on planet earth.
In 2007, through the Texas High School Project, the Gates Foundation shelled out $10,550,000 to the Cosmos Foundation, a Gulen enterprise that operates 25 publicly funded charter schools in Texas.
The Internal Revenue Service Form 990 for Cosmos shows that the Cosmos Foundation received $41,570,721 from taxpayers.
At present, there are 85 Gulan madrassahs (Islamic schools) in the United States, and all operate with public funding.

Texas interests:
Why do these Muslim Schools get Federal Funding at all!!
What about Seperation of Church and State! And that’s one huge pile of Taxpayer Funds the Turban Heads have gotten!
Besides the fifth column problems of madrassas, why are taxpayers footing the bill for religious schools?
my thoughts exactly!!!
remember the howls from the libs about the establishment clause, when Bush made it easier for Christian Charities to help people?
and the Gulen movement is much much worse than sinply wanted the Ottoman Empire back. It is an Islamist movement, very similar to the Muslim Brotherhood, and like the M.B., much much more dangerous to us, than Al-Queda ever was!
They got kicked out of Turkey for being too Islamic.
Who knew Bill Gates was one?
in the long run, this is WORSE than letting Al-Queda open publicly funded charter schools in Texas and Virginia!
converting Americans, and recruiting them, are much worse net, than simply killing a few Americans.
(it is no secret why American born Muslims are rising to top leadership positions in international Islamist groups.
fighting Islamists is bad enough, without them using American ingenuity against us!)
if people don’t wake up soon, their descendants will be wearing burkhas.

brilliant point!
...how on earth on they permitted to open SCHOOLS in America, let alone get taxpayer money to help them ?!?
My next computer’s an Apple. We have too many rich idiots in the World.
We have too many rich idiots in the World.
****
We have all rich idiots (who despise Jesus Christ) running the world.
No, but I remember the howls from me when Bush pushed for Christian charities to get money.
Because that (making it easier for Christian charities and programs to get money) made this (Muslim or fill-in-the-blank charities and programs getting money) a piece of cake.
Since the government can't discriminate against one over the other, this was a logical and expected outcome.
Who didn't see this coming?
So I don't know if liberals were crying or not, but I sure was.
People who think they can pass and support laws to favor their group, and expect that those same laws won't be used to favor groups they dislike are, at best, delusional.
In the end, this hurts the churches, too. The government will eventually get it's pound of flesh in the form of control of the programs and institutions they fund. It always happens. Bank on it.
It has been ever thus.
Would somebody 'splain to me how they commit a First Amendment "offense" with foreigners' in America? (channeling Ricky Ricardo)
We have all rich idiots (who despise Jesus Christ) running the world.

sadly true.
Jesus himself said that Satan has dominion here for now.
we are in “enemy territory”, and all Christians must unite against the religion of Satan (Islam).
(btw, i like your name. it’s 2 of my favorite 3. the other being Deborah.)
and America takes another one in the........
sorry-forgot-ya Ping!
MORE hideousness from the commie/socialist oligarchy.
Time to hit the phones and emails to congress AGAIN!
Reps and senators get up and say there’s nothing more to cut in DC. That’s so much BS. We don’t need to cut - we just need to get rid of the agencies responsible for this and all other nonsense.
