In honor of Ramadan, US Treasury encourages donations to terror
In honor of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, the US Treasury Department has issued a statement encouraging American Muslims to donate money to terrorism. Here's part of the statement:
As Muslims in the United States and around the world begin their observance of Ramadan, the U.S. Department of the Treasury recognizes the importance of this period of intense devotion, reflection and charitable giving. Charitable giving and philanthropy are core American values, reflected in many faiths and traditions, and are of particular significance within the Muslim faith during the holy month of Ramadan.

The Treasury Department fully supports the ability of American Muslims – and Muslims worldwide – to fulfill their religious obligations through charitable giving and seeks to advance charitable giving at home and abroad, while protecting the charitable sector from the threat posed by those who seek to abuse this sacred obligation.
What's so bad about that? Let's go to the videotape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQG8PIqLp7k
