| FBI, Muslim charity reach deal on records |
| 2007-08-24 |
| A Muslim charity and the U.S. government will split the costs of photocopying financial and personnel records seized from the charity in a raid last September, a federal judge ruled Thursday. In another compromise, Life for Relief and Development will get a break on the copying costs because the FBI will allow Kinko's to copy the documents in a nonclassified section of the FBI headquarters. Previously, the FBI had insisted on using a copying company with a security clearance, which would charge much higher fees. Copying only the financial records should cost about $7,200, said Michael Taxay of the U.S. Department of Justice National Security Division in Washington, D.C. Previously, the FBI quoted Life for Relief copying charges of $21,000 to $115,000, depending on how many records were copied. Agents raided the Southfield offices of Life for Relief on Sept. 18, taking computers and nearly 200 boxes of paper records. Nobody has been arrested or charged with any crime The Justice Department says the FBI continues "a wide-ranging and substantial investigation" and has filed sealed documents with the judge disclosing why it needs the records. "Eleven months is not an extensive period of time given the size and scope of the investigation," Taxay told U.S. District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds Thursday. |

I don't care if it takes eleven years, but they had better burn these scumbags down. Zakat funds terrorism. Period. There is no way to prevent it except by ending either or both. Islam's religious protections must be stripped away at the soonest possible instant. It makes no pretense of transparency and in light of taqiyya, there can never be any, ever. Through willful deceit and constant perfidy, Islam has painted itself into a moral and ethical corner. We need to brick it up. |
