posted by Christopher W.

posted by Christopher W. Holton By now, everyone knows that the Obama administration sent the Islamic Republic of Iran $400 million in cash in a transaction that coincided with the release of American hostages. Obama has sent his spin machine into high gear to deny that this was a ransom payment, even though that is […]
by Christopher W. Holton Long-time readers of SFW know that the subject of Islamic charities funding Jihadist terrorism is one of the topics we have covered most closely and frequently over the years. Scores of Islamic charities worldwide, including right here in the USA, have been implicated in funding jihad. You can read all about […]
The Obama administration is facing criticism for paying Iran $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds as part of what critics described as a “ransom” bound up in a controversial hostage trade designed to secure the release of five Americans long held by Iran, according to conversations with administration officials and experts critical of the agreement. http://freebeacon.com/national-security/obama-admin-paid-iran-1-7-billion-taxpayer-funds/ […]

…if in fact the sanctions are lifted or eased, will the deal guarantee an influx of money into the country will not be funneled to terror groups like Hezbollah or Hamas? The answer appears to be no and the White House isn’t planning on doing anything about it. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/05/05/white-house-no-we-cant-guarrantee-sanciton-relief-money-wont-go-to-funding-terrorism-n1994689
For decades the US State Department and many foreign countries have labeled the Islamic Republic of Iran as the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism. That’s because Iran has bankrolled Hezbollah, HAMAS, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Al Qaeda over the years. Despite this track record of savagery, the Obama administration seems hell-bent for leather […]
There are few things in life more infuriating than obviously misguided, flawed strategy and tactics employed in war. Unfortunately, the way that the Obama administration has prosecuted the war on terror…or overseas contingency operations…or whatever they’re calling it these days…provides blatant examples of flawed, misguided strategy and tactics. As SFW, Money Jihad blog and other […]
Why Do Islamic Charities Send Zakat to Terrorists? Because Shariah Says They Must
One of the most popular and most important subjects on SFW is the issue of Zakat. Zakat is a form of tithing in Islam and is considered one of the Five Pillars of the faith. Essentially, every Muslim who is able to do so is required to give 1/40 of his wealth each year to […]
Priorities: Obama’s Treasury considers “90 percent of the employees in its Office of Terrorist Financing and Intelligence (TFI)” non-essential.
H/T to the brilliant David Reaboi, a colleague at the Center for Security Policy, who uncovered this fact in the midst of all the smoke surrounding the government shutdown. To anyone who is paying close attention, the ongoing government “shutdown,” is less about fiscal issues and more about priorities. Some operations and personnel are considered […]
The internet is rampant with reports of involvement by President Obama’s brother in the Muslim Brotherhood. Creeping Shariah blog has lots of details and further links on the topic. But of particular interest to SFW readers is the report from an Egyptian official that Barack Obama’s half brother is tied to investments of the Muslim […]
A New, Interesting Lawsuit: Americans in Israel Sue America for Funding HAMAS

US Treasury Claims Sanctions Hitting Al Qaeda Hard
The US Treasury claims that its targeted sanctions program is hitting Al Qaeda and rogue nations, such as Iran, hard. We’ve no doubt that Iran, the world’s most active state sponsor of terrorism, has been substantially effected by sanctions and we would concede that Al Qaeda has no doubt been impacted in some way. But […]
They say that truth is stranger than fiction and this report from CNS News confirms it. The Obama administration now says that it has conducted outreach to the granddaddy of all Jihadist organizations in order to promote “small business.” The Obama administration says that it has talked with members of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood in order […]
In a case that is sure to anger many Americans, Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced Friday that it has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to respond to its request for public records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (Judicial Watch v.

The blog post linked below is something that we have already covered here on SFW a few times, but the author of the post also provides some really detailed analysis of the role of zakat in Islam and jihad and how zakat works. It’s well worth the read… http://www.conservativerefocus.com/blog5.php/2011/01/28/does-president-obama-understand-the-tenets-of-muslim-zakat-that-he-supports-revisiting-speech-in-cairo-alarms-some
Why does our president think it is necessary to ensure “zakat” is available for Muslims in America? In the United States, it is the individual that decides the amount, the percentage of income that is to be given, not the government. http://tucsoncitizen.com/the-cholla-jumps/2010/08/09/obama-and-zakat-should-we-be-forced-to-support-muslim-charities/
Investor’s Business Daily has a great editorial worth reading. It seems that Obama administration officials are holding summit meetings with lobbyists at Caribou Coffee across from the White House. Caribou Coffee is a Shariah-Compliant business owned by a bank in Bahrain whose Shariah advisory board chair is the Jihadist Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi (banned from travel […]

Unemployment in America is hovering at just below 10 percent, so President Obama hosted a “Summit on Entrepreneurship” in Washington, D.C., in an effort to boost economic development … in Muslim nations.

The White House on Friday announced a “summit on entrepreneurship” to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama’s outreach to Muslims.
