subtitle:

FBI 'won't touch it' for fear of offending Muslims

Phillip Haney is referenced:

The Obama administration’s overriding fear of interfering with Muslim “charity” — which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam known as Zakat — was also exposed by a little-known entry buried in the Federal Register on Feb. 5, 2014. This change in policy was not processed through Congress or even highlighted by a presidential executive order. Nobody from the media noticed it but it carried great weight in changing the way federal agents like Haney did their jobs. In one fell swoop it negated their ability to stop jihadist sympathizers from entering the U.S. or from claiming taxpayer benefits once they are here.

It showed up as an obscure amendment to what is known as the “terrorism inadmissibility grounds” or TRIG within the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The decree gave the attorney general, the secretary of Homeland Security and the secretary of state “discretion” to ignore financial contributions by immigrants to known terrorist outfits if it was determined these donations amounted to “limited material support” and were “routine social transactions” carried out in the “satisfaction of certain well-established or verifiable cultural obligations.”

“The terms ‘routine transaction’ and ‘well-established cultural obligations’ are legalese for zakat (Islamic charity), which became the focus of a barrage of disinformation after the Holy Land Foundation was indicted on July 26, 2004 for financial support of Hamas,” Haney said.

Welfare money isn’t taxed because its not “income.”

WTF?

If it was called "income," the "poor" wouldn't be "poor."

If they aren't "poor," they lose some of their political utility vis-à-vis power to produce guilt among "the rich," which are mostly "people who support themselves by working."

They would still have very significant political value as reliable left-wing voters, obviously.

There was a huge influx of ‘check into cash’ places when the illegals came near here. Also WU points.

The FBI won’t touch it because they will be labeled as racists and Islamophobes and their careers will be over.

carrying more than $10,000 while traveling out of the United States is legal

yet, carrying 10k in cash while traveling within the US is subject to confiscation\forfeiture for no reason.

What’s amazing is that obammy has set up a mechanism to fund somali muslim jihadist with US taxpayer money.

What’s even more amazing is that this practice was set up by obammy in 2014 & is just now seeing the light of day.

When will this bizarre nightmare end?

The FBI has become a joke of their former selves.

Once the most respected, unbiased, and thorough investigative agency in the world.

Now they are the butt of jokes, internet memes, and likely murderers are among their ranks.

They could do well to present a solid case against Hillary and Bill Clinton to partially restore their former prestige.

As a hard-working, tax-paying US citizen, I have the feeling that if I drove around Oklahoma with $10,000 in cash, the police would just stop me and take the money and I’d be screwed.

But, you know, Somali refugees are coming up with $10,000 and just shipping it out of the country. No problem. Why would there be a problem? I don’t see a problem. I mean: they’re Muslims who want to destroy us, so it’s all good, right?

Anybody in America who is the recipient of taxpayer funded benefits should, by definition, not be in any position to be making charitable donations, campaign contributions, etc. If they are found to be doing that, like in this case, the money should be confiscated (they obviously didn’t need it) and cut off from all assistance programs.

This is such a no-brainer to me, that I hope it is at least a footnote in Trump’s Waste-Fraud-Abuse spending reduction plans.

This reminds me of all the people in NYC who are from Caribbean countries and collecting foodstamps, but use the foodstamps to buy stuff and ship it to their families still in the Caribbean.

To all the people who are oh so principled about Trump, please sit out the election so this kind of outrage can continue and grow under Hillary for 8 years.

Just ran across a related comment:

Obama is dealing with it! In St. Louis, (according to their newspaper) Syrian refuges are being flown in and upon arrival, a pre rented home or apartment is awaiting with utilities already paid. Upon arrival,they receive almost a $1,000.00 in cash and a prepaid Walmart card for household items. Afterward,they are taken to apply for food stamps. Multiply this by 80,000, maybe more. Not to worry about that $19 trillion debt or the people struggling, barely getting by or the homeless veterans!
