Muslim organizations should fight extremism -- terrorism --in their ranks, but they won't, even when they would receive special funds for it.

They can’t renounce jihad, it is a central part of Islam.

There is no moderate Koran.

There is no moderate Islam.

Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace

Which tells us EVERYTHING.

CONSIDER A DAILY CHANGE JAR TO OPERATE FR

You won't even miss the 25 or 50 cents, but at the end of the month
you will have at least $5 to donate so FR can operate smoothly,
or you will moan and groan and go into withdrawal
when it is down, because of broken parts,
or over loaded servers during crisis events.

Wait a minute. An Islamic school gets federal dollars? I thought that was the big stink about vouchers that the money might go to religious schools. I thought gov money could not go to religious schools, or is that just Christian schools?

to reject the money for a program created under President Barack Obama known as countering violent extremism, or CVE, which officials say aims to thwart Right Wing extremist groups' abilities to recruit would-be terrorists.

"Let's see, if we accept the money we will be branded as apostates and beheaded. On the other hand..."

Decisions, decisions.

Good! It would have been wasted money.

They are proving they are a threat to society by refusing to police themselves of those who would kill us.

[MNDude]

Dang! Give it to me, and I’ll fight Muslim extremism for $700,000!

[aimhigh]

Now we learn Obama was funding Islamic schools. It would be interesting to know how much money was going to Islam, here and overseas.

[RightGeek]

There's an obvious money saving idea here. Stop the damn program.

[tiki]

It reeks of “I’ll pay you to be my friend.: That never works anyway.

[Jack Hammer]

So much for all the BS ex culpas - they embrace terrorism and approve of it.

[oldasrocks]

I read this as the school did NOT want to fight violent extremism.

[Jack Hammer]

I also. Was my post unclear?

[The Westerner]

The AP writer must have been half asleep; not well written.

[stylin19a]

how does giving money to extremists fight extremism ....

[soycd]

The first mistake is allowing an islamic ANYTHING in America.

Ban islam and any of its inherent violence and evil teachings.

[Vendome]

Shiite. Must be Christmas.

Where’s my share of their loot...

Or maybe they can pluck at my lute....
