This story is presented in a most confusing way. What exactly is the bill of particulars against the Islamic Institute?

This Islamic Institute is cozy with a lot of groups either named as terrorist orgs or under investigation. They've used their WH influence to lobby against anti-terror measures, with mixed success. They've taken donations from the Holy Land Foundation, before their assets were seized after 9/11. The HLF provides funds to the families of homicide bombers, I believe the figure is $13 million so far. Khaled Saffuri, with whom Norquist co-founded the Islamic Institute, is the sponsor of the child of at least one suicide bomber. The Islamic Institute has taken $150,000 in donations from Qatar at the same time the Qataris were chipping into Arafat's homicide bomber fund at $500 a pop.

The Islamic Institute has also received money from the Safa Trust, a suspected terror org., and Saffuri was one of several prominent Muslims who managed to get an audience to complain about the raids on the Safa Trust and others with Paul O'Neill.

There's more. A lot of it's linked up at #64 above.
