Obama Admin Awards $270K to Controversial Islamic Charity
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 04/20/2016 | Adam Kredo

The Obama administration has awarded $270,000 to an Islamic charity that has been outlawed by some governments for its support of the terror group Hamas and other jihadist organizations, according to grant documents.

The Department of Health and Human Services has provided a $270,000 grant to Islamic Relief Worldwide, a charity that has repeatedly been linked to terrorism financing and support for Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, according to recent grant information.

The grant was awarded as part of a larger project to provide health services in Nairobi, Kenya, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to the grant.

Some terrorism experts have expressed concern that the administration is providing funds to Islamic Relief given its past ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, ties that have led some governments to outlaw the charity.

The United Arab Emirates and Israel both banned the charity in 2014 after investigations revealed that Islamic Relief had ties to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other entities engaged in terror financing, according to reports.

Has he EVER done anything for any Christian or Jewish Charity?

And since when is this NOT a promotion of one religion over the other? Since when does the government give to private charities? If they DID give to a catholic charity the libtards would be screaming about separation of church and state!

Obama is a Muslim; he roots for just about anyone from their side until it becomes a problem for his own projects.

I can’t believe that this isn’t talked about outside of the internet and the occasional fringe publication.

I know why Obama is funding terrorists. What I don’t know is why he has the authority to fund Kenyan medical services at all.

They're not interested in doing what's right. They want to do what will keep them in office.
