Islamist Watch's monthly newsletter
features our top blog posts, articles and media
appearances. This month, we found millions of taxpayer
dollars being given to Jamaat-e-Islami, a violent South Asian
Islamist group that operates a powerful network of front groups
here in America.
We also discovered
that an imam in LA, closely linked to the Iranian regime,
was detained by the FBI over child pornography allegations. And
we found further evidence of anti-Semitism expressed by
officials of Islamic Relief - this time by the chairman of the
board. Please also sign our petition against the Silicon Valley
Community Foundation
(SVCF), which is subsidizing Islamic Relief's extremism.
Make sure to read the two pieces by Islamist Watch staff member
Oren Litwin, who continues to monitor Islamist attempts to
influence American elections.
If you or anyone you
know is interested in writing about Islamism in America, we would
welcome your pitches. Send any ideas to submissions@islamist-watch.org

Putting an End to Government Funding of
Islamism
|
|
|
|
In Tuesday's speech, President Trump
denounced the flow of U.S. money to Pakistan while that nation
harbors terrorists. South Asian Islamism is an enormous problem,
and yet a great deal of the discussion in America surrounding
Islamism focuses on the Egyptian-founded Muslim Brotherhood. But
the Muslim Brotherhood is far from the only Islamist network in
the United States; it is simply the best known. Other Islamist
movements also benefit from government ignorance about the
diversity of Islam and Islamism across the globe. The South Asian
Islamist movement Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), for instance, has
received millions from the U.S. taxpayer for its powerful network
of charities and welfare services, which are designed to obtain
external funding as well as legitimize JI as a representative
voice of Muslims, in both America and South Asia.

Islamic Relief Chairman Seems to Hate Jews and Love
Jihad
 Islamist Watch has
uncovered further evidence of anti-Semitism promoted by senior
officials of Islamic Relief, the largest Islamic charity in
America. Writing and sharing posts mostly in Arabic, Lamada
has circulated text praising the "jihad" of the
"Mujahidin of Egypt" for "causing the Jews many
defeats." He has republished claims on Facebook that praise
Hamas for inflicting a "huge defeat" against the "Zionist
entity."

Virginia Politicians Embrace Islamist Mosque
 Virginia’s Lieutenant
Governor, Ralph Northam, is now the Democratic nominee in the
race for governor. Working to rally support in a once-red state
that is now quite purple, Northam has been reaching out to many
different constituencies—including Virginia’s growing Muslim
community. Shortly before winning his primary in June,
Northam spoke at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society
Center (ADAMS), emphasizing his opposition to President Donald
Trump’s “Muslim ban” and his commitment to an “inclusive”
Virginia.

Iran-Linked
Imam Detained over Child Pornography
 On July 6,
heavily-armed FBI agents reportedly raided the home of Shia
cleric Mujahid Abdul-Karim at his home in Watts, South Los
Angeles. According to a press release issued by Abdul-Karim's
mosque, dozens of federal agents stormed the imam's residence at
dawn, throwing flash grenades that shattered the house windows,
and handcuffed Abdul-Karim and his family. Abdul-Karim has
reportedly not been charged and he was released shortly after his
detainment, although his computer was confiscated.
