Obama’s perfidy. The damage that the Obama administration has done is incalculable and far-reaching. And the destroyers on the left are doing everything they can to undermine President Trump so he does not root out the evil.
The Nation of Islam should not be allowed a mile within prison walls, let alone receive cash to do it. Prisons have become hotbeds of jihad recruitment and “radicalism.” The Nation of Islam is defined by jihad and Jew-hatred. They prey upon the broken, the violent and the disenfranchised; what better place than prisons to recruit for the Nation of Islam.
Exclusive: Nation of Islam receiving federal cash to teach prisoners
by Alana Goodman | The Washington Examiner December 19, 2018:
Story continues below advertisementThe Nation of Islam and its leaders have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the U.S. government since 2008 to teach religious study programs for federal prison inmates, according to records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
A black nationalist group led by Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam preaches that white people are “blue-eyed devils” and Jews are “the synagogue of Satan.” Its leaders have received at least $364,500 in contracts and awards from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.
The funding was designed to provide “Nation of Islam religious services,” “Nation of Islam spiritual guide services,” “Nation of Islam study services,” and other related programming led by the organization’s leaders, according to Bureau of Prison records. The Nation of Islam has been labeled a hate group by the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
New York Republican Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, told the Washington Examiner the funding was “beyond the pale.”
He said: “Categorically, no group or entity or individual associated any way with Farrakhan or the Nation of Islam should receive any federal funding. What Farrakhan preaches is hatred and anti-Semitism and racism, and to use any federal money for any group that’s he’s involved with that do any type of teaching or proselytizing is just wrong.”
Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Right, called the funding “really outrageous and remarkable.” He noted that a court ruling in 2003 prohibited federal prisons from banning Nation of Islam reading materials on First Amendment grounds. But he said this ruling doesn’t require the U.S. government to provide money to the organization.
“I can’t imagine the reason why the federal government would have any obligation to give any money to the Nation of Islam or its proponents, and it seems quite incredible if they do,” said Potok.
The Bureau of Prisons on Wednesday declined to provide any details about the contracts, including what year they began and what Nation of Islam reading materials were used for the program. “Contracts are retained six years after final payment, so we are not able to provide details regarding the original contract on which the Nation of Islam began contracting with the Bureau of Prisons,” said a spokesperson.
The spokesperson cited a regulation that federal correctional institutions “may contract with representatives of faith groups in the community to provide specific religious services which the chaplain cannot personally deliver due to, ordinarily, religious prescriptions or ecclesiastical constraints to which the chaplain adheres.”
While declining to comment on what the Nation of Islam provided to prisoners, the bureau cited a federal statute that said religious materials must “be previewed by [Bureau of Prison] staff, or any other staff-designated volunteers, prior to distribution” and “materials shall not denigrate or disparage any other religion or religious groups.”
King said the funding raises concerns about the federal vetting process for prison chaplains in light of reports that prisons can be a breeding ground for radicalization.
In 2010, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee released a report that found “as many as three dozen U.S. citizens who converted to Islam while in prison have traveled to Yemen, possibly for Al Qaeda training.” The issue has drawn recent attention in Europe, after a gunman who attacked visitors at a Christmas market in France was reported to have been radicalized during a prior stint in jail.
“Since there have been too many instances of radicalization occurring in prisons, that, to me, is a public concern as to what is being taught,” King said. “To me, once you’re associated with Farrakhan, that, to me, would end the vetting right away.”
Federal spending records reviewed by the Washington Examiner show that the funding dates back at least to fiscal 2008, with some contracts apparently approved in 2007.
The highest spending year appears to have occurred under former President Barack Obama in 2012, when the federal government gave over $47,000 in contracts to Nation of Islam programs. Funding has dropped under the Trump administration. In 2018, the programs received $17,000 and the total obligation for 2019 is $8,250.
The Nation of Islam was founded in 1930 as a black nationalist offshoot of Islam, but Potok said many of its beliefs are seen as heretical by mainstream Muslims — including the group’s claims that white people are inherently evil and Nation of Islam founder Wallace D. Fard, or Wallace Fard Muhammad, is a deity.
“The Nation has, right from the beginning, extremely anti-Semitic, anti-gay beliefs,” said Potok. The group has promoted theories that Israel carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and claimed the U.S. government has secretly poisoned black men with a chemical that would turn them gay. Farrakhan, who has led the organization since 1978, once called Adolf Hitler ‘a very great man’ and routinely denounces Jews and white people as evil.
“White folks are going down. And Satan is going down. And Farrakhan, by God’s grace, has pulled the cover off of that satanic Jew, and I’m here to say, ‘Your time is up. Your world is through,'” Farrakhan said in a speech last February.
One of the organization’s key texts, The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, claims that Jews were responsible for the transatlantic slave trade and rigged the world economic system to disenfranchise black people.
The Nation’s corporate entity, Muhammad’s Holy Temple of Islam Corp., received $27,000 from the Bureau of Prisons to carry out ‘Nation of Islam religious services’ at Terre Haute penitentiary in Indiana, according to government records.
Muhammad’s Holy Temple of Islam is based out of Mosque Maryam in Chicago, the Nation’s national headquarters and Farrakhan’s office.
Another entity, the North Memphis Study Group, received $23,430 between 2008 and 2010 for “Nation of Islam services” at Forrest City federal penitentiary in Arkansas. The North Memphis Study Group is located at Muhammad Mosque 55, the Nation’s chapter in Memphis.
The chapter’s recent “video of the week” on its website was titled “SOS: Synagogue of Satan.”
The Nation’s Muhammad’s Mosque 23 in Buffalo, NY., and Mosque of Charleston in South Carolina, also received $7,850 and $2,500 each for “Nation of Islam services” at Loretto Federal Corrections Institution in Pennsylvania and Williamsburg Federal Corrections Institution in South Carolina.
In total, the Bureau of Prisons contracted with over a dozen organizations and individuals to specifically provide Nation of Islam programming for inmates. One of these individuals was Verbon Muhammad, a Nation leader in Monroe, La., who received over $60,000 to “provide Nation of Islam religious services.” Muhammad told a reporter at the Louisiana News Star last year that white people are not allowed to attend Nation of Islam religious services.
“We don’t allow white people in our meetings, period,” said Muhammad.
The Nation of Islam did not respond to request for comment through its main office or through its attorney Berve Power. Abdullah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation’s Prison Reform Ministry, also did not respond to press inquiries.
According to the group’s newspaper, the Final Call, Abdullah Muhammad often travels to prisons to give lectures about the group’s philosophy. In November, Abdullah Muhammad spoke to inmates at the Ryan Detroit Re-entry Center in Detroit, the Final Call reported.
“The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan wants you brothers to know that he loves you,” said Abdullah Muhammad during the lecture, which reportedly focused on Bible Scripture and included a video address from Farrakhan.
One of the inmates said in an interview with the Final Call: “I’m only 19 years old and I go home in about three weeks. I wish Mr. Muhammad lived in Detroit.”
Farrakhan has implored his followers not to accept money from the U.S. government, saying in a Dec. 14, 2013, statement: “If they offer you anything, look carefully into it, lest the Nation will no longer be tied to the principles that the Hon. Elijah Muhammad desired for us: to make us an independent nation on some of this Earth that we can call our own.”

this is not comprehensive. It doesn’t have Valarie Jarrett or Brenner who IS a Muslim too. He surrounded himself with Muslims and Communists.

Obama is a sneaky SOB. He left little bombs all over the place and the swamp was silent.
CUT FUNDS FOR THAT IMMEDIATELY and force the Nation of Islam to REIMBURSE TAX PAYERS! Naturally NO OTHER RELIGIONS are included in that tax payer free for all. Can you seriously imagine Obama funding Judaism or Christianity in prisons? LOL! Obama is a closet Muslim. He purposely deceives.

Two opposing political systems: 1. Islam’s totalitarian political system and Sharia Law, that is against women’s rights, gays, infidels (Christians, Jews), pro-jihad violence, anti-freedom, anti-individualism. 2. USA’s Free Republic based on the Constitution, Rule of Law, pro-freedom, pro-capitalism, pro-self-sufficiency. What does the USA need to do to stop another political system from usurping its country and its rights?

Give me power & I’ll force social media, Wikipedia, media & academia to teach the truth about unjust Muhammad, collapsing the unjust Muhammadism in a short time.
Trump could expose Muhammadism but he sells weapons to Saudi Arabia (& Muhammadist controlled Nigeria) where Africans are enslaved in emulation of unjust Muhammad (who declared his deity had turned Africans slaves to Arabs & Turks), clitorisses cut off & atheists killed & detained.
While Farakhan makes propaganda Muhammadism would had been exclusively created for Africans:
• Saudi Arabia divorces Afro-mixed couples & enslaves Africans sometimes castrated
• the unjust Muhammad-law says whoever calls white Muhammad a black must be killed
• unjust Muhammad’s famous child-bride Aisha was blonde & they had no offspring
• unjust Muhammad initiated the enslavement of Africans called Africans Abid which means slave & African in Arabic & today Africans are enslaved from Saudi Arabia, to United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Yemen, Bahrain, Oman, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent!), Somalia, Niger, Mali, Nigeria & recently in Texas
• Hitler whom like other Muhammadists Farakhan idolizes viewed the unjust Muhammadism as ultimate Nazi-religion & told his architect Albrecht Speer that Muhammadism would match the German temperament better killed Africans in concentration-camps.
Prison inmates need an ethical value system so their radical nature (radix means root) can help them grow ethically, supported by an ethical global system.
They should be taught the ethical values of justice, truth, love, friendliness, ecology, English, health (see DrAxe.com), cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realization & freedom from religion.

Once again, Obama’s perfidy, his alliance with Farrakhan and Islam, generally, is no secret. Obama was and remains hell-bent to Islamize America, spreading this contagion throughout the prison system among criminals is just one tool in Obama’s bag of treasonous means. Obama remains free, unscathed, enabled, but revered by those of the Progressive-Islamist pandemic. The sponsoring and supporting of the terrorist/Jihad states of Islam and domestic terrorism in want of this Republic’s downfall. It is a malignancy that is metastasizing day-by-day within the U.S. and the alleged Western Democracies.

Hardly any will go to the other Negroes in prison. It will go mostly to the leaders to wine and dine and maybe even buy a ROLLS-ROYCE!!
Well, that’s what happens in Africka all the time. It’s just a Negro thing.

Well Pam I think the Nation of Islam belongs inside the prison walls, the cells specifically. 🙂
Keep exposing evil and our enemies-you do awesome work. It’s sad that the Liberals are silent on issues like this, silence equals complicity.

This is sheer madness! Giving money to an organisation that should be banned for being a dangerous anti America hate group.
These are part of the 5th column that would destroy the USA and all she stands for.
DONT ALLOW THE USA TO COMMIT SUICIDE!

islam appeals to the insane, corrupt, violent mind and gives them justification and encouragement to rape, rob and murder. Farrakahn should be sent for a ride on the mother ship. Proscribe islam.

Thankfully most of the people he teaches will end up back in the slammer in short order. No wonder our country is going in the toilet, you have goat humping jackasses like Farrakhan teaching.

Islam should not be allowed in the U S.. As Winston Churchill stated “islam is to a man as rabies is to a dog”.
