Militant Muslims to gain first significant electoral victory in US?

Daniel Pipes thinks so.

Cynthia McKinney's Arab and Islamist Donors

We all knew that Cynthia McKinney would be drawing on Arab and Muslim supporters in her bid to return to Congress, but a listing of contributors (with information up through June 28) reveals to what an extraordinary extent this is the case, as shown by the names of her backers. [...]

Comment: Georgia holds its primary on July 20; should McKinney win it, as seems likely, radical Arab and Muslim causes will have achieved their first significant electoral victory in the United States.


It is a very long list indeed!

More from the New York Post

McKinney won a national reputation of sorts with her incendiary statements on everything from 9/11 (suggesting that the Bush administration knew of the attacks in advance) to the American Jewish lobby (which she blamed for her 2002 loss to Majette).

Plus, McKinney has long associated with militant Islamic groups whose members have openly supported terrorism. She has also taken donations from individuals suspected of terrorist ties. [...]

McKinney has also accepted substantial donations from individuals linked to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Benevolence International Foundation and the Global Relief Foundation — three Muslim "charitable" organizations now labeled Specially Designated Global Terrorist entities by the U.S. Treasury Department.


The HLF has been shut down by the US as a terrorist organization.

Benevolence International Foundation has a long history of terrorists ties and has been designated as Financiers of Terrorism by the US.

The Global Relief Foundation has been Placed on U.N. Terror List
