Tim Walz Gave $2 Million to Islamic Group Raising Money for al Qaeda-Linked Charity

Tim Walz Gave $2 Million to Islamic Group Raising Money for al Qaeda-Linked Charity

The Treasury Department sanctioned Rahma Worldwide in 2008 for raising money for al Qaeda.

Gabe Kaminsky at The Washington Examiner reported that presumptive Democratic VP candidate Gov. Tim Walz gave $2,000,000 to the Islamic Association of North America (IANA).

Well, IANA began fundraising for Rahma Worldwide after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.

Rahma Worldwide has links to al Qaeda:

The Islamic Association of North America, the recipient of the state grants from 2019 to 2024, is fundraising after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel last year for Rahma Worldwide, a Michigan-based charity that says it is shipping humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to flyers. In a since-deleted Facebook post in October 2023, Rahma Worldwide President Shadi Zaza revealed his charity was collaborating on an aid initiative with the Islamic Heritage Revival Society of Kuwait, a terrorist group sanctioned by the U.S. government for funding al Qaeda.

The Treasury Department sanctioned Rahma Worldwide in 2008 for raising money for al Qaeda.

In January, U.S. officials said Rahma Worldwide also fundraises for Hamas.

In 2016, The Office of Foreign Assets added the group to its Specially Designated Nationals.

More from the report:

Just last year, Rahma Worldwide organized an event with Mohamad Rateb al Nabulsi, a Syrian cleric who has appeared on al Aqsa TV, the official network of Hamas, to call for the killing of gay people, the New York Post reported. In October 2021, Rahma Worldwide shared a post on Facebook depicting Rahma Worldwide’s Shadi Zaza signing an agreement with officials at the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza.

In December of last year, Zaza and Abdulle were listed on a flyer together as speakers for a fundraiser benefiting Rahma Worldwide. And on Jan. 1 of this year, Abdulle posted a separate flyer on Facebook promoting a Gaza fundraising event in Minneapolis for Rahma Worldwide featuring Zaza as a speaker.

IANA was formed in 2001 as “a nationwide umbrella organization with over thirty-five centers and organizations.” It has 15 Islamic organizations under that umbrella in Minnesota.

Former Director Sheikh Hassan Dhooye knows Walz:

Meanwhile, the IANA’s former director, Sheikh Hassan Dhooye, congratulated Walz in an X post on Aug. 6 that included an image of him with Walz.

Dhooye recently congratulated Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a Hamas ally, for his reelection. In 2020, Dhooye was part of a delegation of Muslim leaders who met with Erdogan in Ankara, Turkey, according to a press release.

Dhooye, who also goes by the name Hassan Mohamed Jama, came into the spotlight in 2011 after CBC News reported that the Somali community believed he was connected to a terrorism financing and recruitment operation.

In 2017, Dhooye “appeared with then-congressman Walz and Zaman in Washington, D.C., according to a Facebook post.”

Dhooye is the former director, but still appears with the IANA:

In April, he attended a meeting with the IANA’s Abdulle and other Somali leaders, according to a Facebook post. Dhooye spoke at the IANA’s annual convention last September, footage shows.

And last May, Dhooye offered a prayer on behalf of the IANA before Minnesota’s legislature, according to state records.

    Would be an absolute shame if someone nuked the city at the right moment….

    Not suggesting anything, of course!

This is a popular position for a key demographic in the Michigan and Minnesota Democrat base.

Walz is doing a great job locking-down the “Death to America” voters for Kamala.

Great, another greasy, feckless, stupid and morally bankrupt Dhimmi-crat whitewasher, appeaser and enabler of Islamofascist and Muslim supremacist Jew-hate and anti-Israel slanders/venom, cozying up to and legitimizing Muslim bigots.

I’m sick of these pukes and reprobates.

    Imagine the outcry we’d be hearing from the Dhimmi-crats and their media lapdogs/shills/trained seals, if a Republican governor had directed state grant money to a Christian, Jewish or Hindu organization. Yet, this kind of outrageously inappropriate use of taxpayer money is somehow deemed to be appropriate and above-board, when an Islamic organization is the recipient?

THIS AND THIS ONLY

IS THE DEAL BREAKER

if allowing the blmplo rioters to loot pillage and burn down the city was even possibly considered “justice”

THIS IS NOT EVEN IN THAT CATEGORY

This is beyond pale

AND BTW WHERE DID THIS “CIVIL SERVANT” GET THAT MONEY FROM???

    The Gentle Grizzly in reply to destroycommunism. | August 16, 2024 at 11:52 am

    I wonder if the rioting and arson will be blamed on (using a new term I read over at YouTube), the people with small hats?

      destroycommunism in reply to The Gentle Grizzly. | August 16, 2024 at 2:17 pm

      of course

      they kept trying to buy-off the street armies of jesse jackson and al sharpton b/c the gov had already caved to the blk panthers so they were left on their own

      and instead of risking prison they continued to educate their kids while the dna challenged

      used violence as their college degrees while the courts were filled with a lot of made up bs to payoff ( reparations) the growing clout the Malcom X crowd was gaining

    paracelsus in reply to destroycommunism. | August 16, 2024 at 1:53 pm

    where?
    from Iran? Turkey? Qatar?

Huh, I never knew RPGs were “humanitarian aid”.

The Gentle Grizzly | August 16, 2024 at 12:10 pm

I guess Walz is betting on gaining more votes from muslims than the number of Jewish votes lost.

    unfortunately I highly doubt that any Jewish votes will be lost;
    they all still listen to CNN and read the NY Times

      schmuul in reply to paracelsus. | August 16, 2024 at 2:04 pm

      And you know this from your extensive experience and knowledge with the Jewish community or is it from Fox and Breitbart ?

        destroycommunism in reply to schmuul. | August 16, 2024 at 2:20 pm

        my SIL and her friends
        they’re far more religious about their liberal politics than they are about shabbos

          Watch the teaser for Matt Walsh’s new “Am I A Racist?” movie. Very first scene. I wonder whose family that is.

I do not understand how this commie got the $2 million to donate to anyone.

He is NOT from a coupon clipping family.

Was this money actually MN state $$$ given to this enlighten organization.

E Howard Hunt | August 16, 2024 at 1:13 pm

The money was an investment whose multiplier effect will benefit the economy by causing more Muslim influx, whose resulting urban decay will necessitate the hiring of more social workers.

Trump just added a Jewish voices for Trump section on his website , awesomeness just bought my first political sign

destroycommunism | August 16, 2024 at 2:21 pm

again

if trump doesnt win 2024 by 30% this country is going to topple into a clear,, no longer pretending, blmplo regime

Why am I not at all surprised that the scumbag that was chosen by the Vice prostitute is a terrorist supporting piece of garbage?

CAIR shouts with delight whenever the infidels rally to their causes of eventual destruction of Western civilization.
