Hillary backed by terrorists? Investigative press yawns

I can’t believe only one source is carrying this story. Even if it’s just a rumor, wouldn’t you think that our tenacious (read: Fake but accurate) free press in the West would be all over this, proving its verity or fallacy?

Maybe Britney had another custody hearing today that kept them occupied.

Presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., has taken thousands of dollars in cash donations from Islamists under federal investigation for terror-financing, money laundering and tax fraud, WND has learned.

The Democrat senator over the past seven months has received $1,000 from M. Yaqub Mirza and another $500 from M. Omar Ashraf, federal campaign records show. Federal agents raided the Virginia homes and offices of the Muslim donors after 9/11 for ties to terrorism.

Others tied to the still-active probe also have contributed money to Clinton, including one Muslim man who after 9/11 complained the U.S. government should focus on changing its Mideast policies instead of killing Osama bin Laden and other Islamic terrorists.

Remember when someone made that suggestion to Rudy?

Sterling Management (above link over the men’s names) also runs a charitable foundation.

Muslims are ordained to practice regular charitable giving in the form of Zakah (wealth tax), bequest and Sadaqah.

Payment of Zakah is obligatory (2:3, 43, 100, 177, 195, 254, 277) and is due on current year’s gross income (before taxes) less Nisab (essential needs for a lunar year) and on income on savings and investments. Bequest (through a will “wassiyyah”) is limited to 1/3 of the assets to be conveyed upon death, only to non-inheritors. Sadaqah (gift) is given by one living person to another as the Prophet (SAW) has encouraged: “Exchange gifts among yourselves and thus strengthen mutual love with one another.”

No indication is given as to what charities have been chosen by the fund.
