Charities in the U.S. funnel millions... billions... of dollars to support special causes in nations around the world. Men, women, and children receive food, clothing, assistance of all types from these charities. Americans give because they believe it is the correct thing to help those less fortunate.
But sometimes things may not be as they seem.
Federal agents raided two Shi'ite Muslim charities Tuesday in Dearborn, one of which the government said funneled money raised in the United States to Iran-backed terrorist groups in the Middle East.Perhaps Ms. Schlussel was right all along.
We'll have to wait to find out.For over a year, I've been asking why the FBI hasn't raided Al-Mabarat Charitable Organization-USA, Inc., the Dearbornistan charity that is openly raising money for Hezbollah and which is headed by Hezbollah Spiritual Leader Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah.
But, today, just as I was asking that once again, the FBI was actually raiding Al-Mabarat, while it was also raiding Goodwill Charitable Organization and the Martyrs Foundation. Well, it's about time.
