Congressman calls for halting federal funds to Nation of Islam

40

It’s astonishing that this hate-filled group is receiving federal funds at all, and this bill should pass, but given that the Democrats control the House now, and are just as hateful and antisemitic as the Nation of Islam itself, it is unlikely that it will. If it doesn’t, the President should find some way to halt this funding. Even the ADL and the SPLC, both of which usually target conservatives only, have come out against the Nation of Islam — which shows that even those far-left groups could not ignore the hated and incitement coming from Louis Farrakhan and other Nation of Islam leaders.

“Congressman calls for halting federal funds to Nation of Islam,” by Jackson Richman, JNS, January 8, 2019:

The Washington Examiner first reported this development and the funding of “at least $364,500 in contracts and awards” from the DOJ and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.

“The fact that hard-earned American tax dollars are being funded to this extremist group is not only unacceptable, it’s downright immoral,” the congressman wrote in a letter on Monday to Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.

“As you may know, the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center have designated the Nation of Islam as a hate group for its racist and anti-Semitic beliefs,” he continued. “Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has used hateful rhetoric pronouncing that ‘Hitler was a very great man’ and routinely denounces Jews and white people as ‘evil.’ ”

The funding was allocated towards “Nation of Islam religious services,” “Nation of Islam spiritual guide services,” “Nation of Islam study services” and other programming administered by the group’s leaders, according to Bureau of Prisons records.

“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” said Buchanan. “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”

The Bureau of Prisons declined to provide specifics to The Washington Examiner about the funding, citing 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.”

“The Nation of Islam considers whites to be devils and aspires to break off a blacks-only country from the United States. It’s an ugly phenomenon that minimally overlaps with the normative religion of Islam,” Middle East Forum president Daniel Pipes told JNS. “It’s not exactly something the American taxpayer should be subsidizing.”

The Republican Jewish Coalition, the National Council of Israel and the Endowment for Middle East Truth (EMET) commended Buchanan’s letter.

“We share Congressman Buchanan’s interest in getting answers to the troubling questions raised by the Examiner’s report,” RJC spokesperson Neil Strauss told JNS.

“Because we believe that the Trump administration agrees with Rep. Buchanan that the federal government ‘should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,’ we are confident that these serious concerns will be addressed promptly and definitively,” he added.

“We completely support the efforts of Congressman Buchanan and share his outrage,” National Council of Young Israel president Farley Weiss told JNS. “We supported the [FIRST STEP Act] and see contracting with this anti-Semitic organization as being the antithesis of rehabbing prisoners. We call for such funding to be stopped.”

“EMET applauds Rep. Vern Buchanan’s call on the DOJ to stop funding the highly anti-Semitic, racist group, the Nation of Islam. Under the leadership of renowned anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam regularly disseminates conspiracy theories about Jews and the State of Israel,” the organization’s founder and president, Sarah Stern, told JNS.

“In one instance, Farrakhan said, ‘Satanic Jews have infected the whole world with poison and deceit’ and are his ‘enemy.’ In another, he exclaimed, ‘I am not an anti-Semite, I am anti-termite,’ comparing Jews to sub-humans, indeed to parasitic insects,” she continued.

“It is outrageous that the U.S. government would fund such a despicable group to propagate its hateful rhetoric, and as Rep. Buchanan has expressed in its letter, federal funding for the Nation of Islam must be halted immediately,” she added….

NOI. Black. Moslem. Racist, Supremacist. Barking mad. Targets not only Jews but Catholics, Whites and all non Moslems. Pipes is wrong. It overlaps a lot with ‘normative’ Islam. It seeks to eradicate non Moslems especially Whites.
The org should be outlawed, its leaders jailed for contravening various laws.

Muhammad Ali was an esteemed member – the fake MSM never once questioned this ghetto braggart on his racism, misogyny and hate for America.

FU muslum worm:

In 1975, amid the frenzy over the impending “Thrilla in Manila,” his
third title fight with Joe Frazier, Ali argued vehemently in a Playboy interview
that interracial couples ought to be lynched. “A black man should be
killed if he’s messing with a white woman,” he said. And it was the same
for a white man making a pass at a black woman. “We’ll kill anybody who
tries to mess around with our women.” But suppose the black woman
wanted to be with the white man, the interviewer asked. “Then she dies,”
Ali answered. “Kill her too.”

A lot of groups are being supported financially by the USA: ISIS, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, NOI, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan & so on.
Furthermore censorship serves these Muhammadist groups.
While I’m not being financed & instead am censored.
NOI condemns white people but I never have heard of the NOI condemning Arabs enslaving Africans.
The Muhammadist texts command that who says that unjust Muhammad wasn’t white should be killed & say that unjust Muhammad married a 6 year old blonde girl I’ve read.
Unjust Muhammad also said that after death life continues with all people having turned white dwelling in paradise while hell being mostly inhabitat by women.
Unjust Muhammad also described a first person called Adam like in the Jewish & Jesuist texts. Unjust Muhammad said that this Adam is divided into a left & right side. He said that his deity struck the left shoulder of Adam & black people emerged like ants to perdition then struck the right shoulder & whites emerge to paradise.
Africans are being enslaved in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

These ufking Negroes receiving money and free stuff from white man then go and call for his death.

With white man dead these Arabs will make eunuchs out of Negroes and wape and enslave their women. One reason they have not really done it because white man still around with a BIG stick.

We should have such bad luck we enslaved low-IQ humans and brought them on our soil. I often think what America would be like if we had no Negroes on our soil.

This subsidization of the Nation of Islam’s activities in the federal prison system has been going on for decades. Thye use these funds to promote conflict within the prisons and to recruit new members. That only one Congressman supports this bill is incredible. It should be passed by unanimous vote of the House and Senate. It should be a litmus test for those who hate Jews and other racial identities.

Trudeau does the same here in Canada. He has laundered almost $100 million through the UN to Hamas who uses it for weapons and explosives to attack Israel. He also gifted $24 million the NCCM, the National Council of Canadian Muslims. They didn’t ask for it because Islam bans abortions which is a major qualifier for Trudeau to hand out money to needy organizations. Liberal blackmail.
