MUSLIM PROJECT TO BUY U.S. ELECTIONS

BREAKING: Muslim Project to Buy U.S. Elections Exposed

An analysis of campaign contributions conducted by Islamist Watch indicates that, since 9/11, leaders with six prominent American Islamist organizations have donated 12 times as much money to Democrats as to Republicans.

This six Muslim organizations that were the initial focus of the project’s Islamist Money in Politics initiative were the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Circle of North America, the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim Alliance in North America, the Muslim American Society, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Figures associated with local chapters of CAIR were also included, according to PJ Media.

IMIP first searched public records for the names of individuals associated with these groups, then cross-checked those names against the Federal Election Commission’s database. They then used biographical information about the leaders to rule out, where possible, donations made by others who shared the same name. They came up with $700,000 in donations since the late 1990s.

The top five recipients of that money are all Democrats: Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress; President Barack Obama; former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, whose father said that her re-election fight was difficult because “Jews have bought everyone”; André Carson, the second Muslim elected to Congress;  and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Interestingly, these preliminary findings indicated that Muslims gave more to Republicans than Democrats, by about 15 percent, prior to the 9/11 attacks. Records for giving in the 2000 election are relatively scarce, but George W. Bush seems to have collected more than Democrat challenger Al Gore.

Campaign donations are, of course, a form of free speech, and therefore to be protected like any other constitutional freedom. Muslims — or anyone else — have the right to support whomever they want in U.S. elections, even a certifiable nut job like Cynthia McKinney.

But Americans have the right to know where politicians are getting their money, too. Your average Detroit auto worker, a staunch union member and Democrat all his life, might be interested to know who else is supporting his local congressman.
