No they don't that I know of.

I checked, and it's sad but true. From the Whitehouse's own page on faith based ministries:

The government can do many things, but it cannot put hope in our hearts or a sense of purpose in our lives. This is done by churches, synagogues, mosques and charities that warm the cold of life — a quiet river of goodness and kindness that cuts through stone. The Administration is committed to a concerted effort to identify and remove needless barriers that thwart the heroic work of faith-based groups.

You expressed more fear of Saudi financing of prison ministries:

The Imam's that minister in the prisons, from what I understand, are sponsored directly by the Wahabi sect in Saudi Arabia. Even scarier than them being sponsored by our tax dollars.

What another country does to try to undermine America is one thing. But diverting my own tax dollars for it is quite another.

But here again, I think we need to carefully examine our commitment to these "balanced" ministries. I object on the grounds that Islam is not a religion of peace.

Well know I know and I stand corrected. I didn't know that OUR tax money was going to sponsor a religon dedicated to brainwashing people. Sometimes this inclusiveness can go WAY too far.

What you've shown me begs the question why is it ok to promote and almost SHOVE Islam down our throats here in America and treat Christianity like it's the Plauge?

This minority/special interest dictating to the majority crap has got to end. *sigh*

"What another country does to try to undermine America is one thing. But diverting my own tax dollars for it is quite another."

If another country is investing time and money to undermine America on our soil, then we must in turn invest time and energy to counter their efforts.

"But here again, I think we need to carefully examine our commitment to these "balanced" ministries. I object on the grounds that Islam is not a religion of peace."

Meaning what exactly?

That the practice of Islam should be somehow banned in America?

Because if that's your contention, then I say why stop there?

We could also ban Christian Identity groups, Santeria worship, the General Assembly Church of the First Born because they refuse to allow medical treatment for sick kids...

Where do we stop?
