Muslim leaders want ’terror-free’ label
2004-07-15
EFL
Facing a fall off in donations since Sept. 11, 2001, local Muslim leaders asked federal officials Tuesday night to come up with a seal of approval that would assure potential donors that a group does not have ties to terrorism.
Or maybe you could set up something like this: ECFA. *Wink, wink*
The Muslims said the matter was critical, because many immigrant Muslims are afraid that if they contribute to an Islamic group they may be accused at some point in the future of supporting terrorism. Charitable groups and mosques are hurting, they said.
Shhhhhh: Don’t tell anyone, but maybe that’s part of the plan!

#9  That's quite a coincidence because Americans want 'Terror-Free' muslims.

If they can get that, can I have a pony?

#7  Excellent ex-lib.
Two things the French do well, staging bike races and raising hoawgs yesterday there was a helicopter shot of a 400 pounder (who had his own single-hog house) watching the peleton drag by.

Today of course 6 or so head of cattle broke into the middle of the peleton. LOL Crazy Funny.

#6  "FUCK 'EM AND FEED 'EM FISH HEADS!"

But they might like fish heads, HP. Of course, pig heads--now those would be another story! : ) and "oink"! (tangent: I was watching The Fellowship of the Ring last night, and near the start of the story, a hobbit lady walks by a hobbit guy who is pulling a big--and I mean big--pig along by the neck with a rope. Well, she gives the pig a "slappy-pat" on the rump as she walks by. And I thought of the WOT. Why? Because, in view of the current situation, it made me want to go and slap pig butts in front of every mosque. "The PigButt Brigade" . . . Ooops--how "culturally insensitive" of me. But see--that's how we Americans are: We think of slapping pigs to bug them, while they think of killing and maiming us, and of destroying Western civilization.)

Anway, I don't see why their complaining--HP's right, all they'd really have to do is "just come out and denounce terrorists . . . And keep denouncing them over and over again" like even the Moslems in Iraq are doing.

But, like "Antiwar(s)", they won't. Because . . . they forgot! Yeah. That's it. Or maybe they were too busy washing their dog cat, or they had to catch a plane (sorry), or they had to go to the dentist. . . So many reasons not to denounce terrorists--so little time to keep trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the West.

Hey! USA Mosque leaders! We're waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting . . .

(crickets chirping)

#5  Why don't these filthy muslims just come out and denounce terrorists? And keep denouncing them over and over again. That's all they have to do.

If they STILL refuse to denounce terrorists..... FUCK 'EM AND FEED 'EM FISH HEADS!

#3  If the Muslims do not actively clean up their "charitable" act, then it will be done for them. End of story. All of the Saudi PR campaigns are bearing fruit, rotten fruit.

#2  Not a bad idea. It would require genuine monitoring of charities.

Ask the Tides Foundation to pay for the accountants and lawyers needed.

#1  Call me bigoted if you will, but I'm starting to think there are more Islamic terror-sponsoring groups than there are charities . . .
