NFL-backed Human Development Fund shares an address with shell company featured in fraud scandal, among other links

Chuck Ross. February 2, 2026

Human Development Fund, an upstart Islamic charity touted by the National Football League and various Muslim influencers, professes to provide "hot meals" to orphans in Gaza. But a Washington Free Beacon investigation found the group’s founders have an array of links to the Feeding Our Future fraud, in which more than 80 people conspired to steal $250 million from a federal program designed to give free meals to poor Minnesota children.

HDF founder and CEO Abdirahman Kariye is an imam at Dar Al-Farooq, a predominantly Somali mosque near Minneapolis that served as a food distribution site for Feeding Our Future. HDF director of fundraising events Khalid Omar is a director of Dar Al-Farooq.

At Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center, Walz and religious leaders decry bigotry

August 14, 2020

(DEMOCRAT) Gov. Tim Walz spoke at the Islamic Center Friday, calling on Minnesotans to support the Center and Bloomington’s Muslim community as it grapples with the fear of violence.

“Dar al-Farooq is not defined by that bombing. Imam Mukhtar is not defined by an attack when he went to worship,” Walz said. “But Minnesota could be, if we don’t choose together and decide how we’re going to address inclusion, how we’re going to address and push back on Islamophobia or anti-Semitism or hatred toward our LGBTQ community.”

There sure are a lot of leftist tax exempt charities. Trump needs his own Lois Lerner.

Ellison is a leader of the effort. Muslims don’t want to lose their cut of the fraud. You cannot tell me that clown did not know this massive fraud was operating for years. Lock him up.
