My previous blog suggested that one possible reason some Black voters have backed away from the Democrat Party is a perception that their needs/concerns are being displaced by those of Muslims.
In this connection, here is Daniel Greenfield’s latest commentary, which suggests that the connection to Islam may be more monetary than anything else.
Take a look and see if you agree:
Islamic charity really isn’t ‘charity’, unlike Judeo-Christian charity, it’s about expanding the Islamic presence and subjugating civil society to Islam. So weaponizing Islamic ‘charity’ to elect Islamic candidates to take over America is the essence of Koranic ‘charity’.
To that end, Islamic organizers are advancing a nationwide plan to back Muslim and other Islamic-friendly candidates with financing from a potential political war chest of more than $140 million a year in mosque and other donations from the swelling Muslim-American community.
Earlier this year, the Qadhi-led Fiqh Council of North America issued a legal ruling (fatwah) in coordination with the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America that for the first time unlocks Muslim-American tithing and charitable giving, known as “zakat,” for political use: “[G]iving one’s zakat for influencing political causes is warranted.” The stated goal is to, broadly, “empower” Muslim communities in America, but more specifically, to fund the campaigns of politicians who oppose Israel and support policies such as criminalizing criticism of the Prophet Muhammad and Islam in general.
$140 million is a whole lot of money. It might not buy a presidential election, but it can buy control of state legislatures and Congress.
So if you’re wondering why Dems are increasingly validating even the worst kinds of Islamic abuses, just like their European counterpart, they’re following the money.
Sure they have to betray their country, culture and civilization, but they’ve adopted politics that are already doing that.
I don’t know if Mr. Greenfield has this correct; if “Islamic charity” is pumping $140 million dollars to Democrat candidates. But, if so, it certainly would explain why at least some Democrats are reacting positively to the source of that money…and why at least some Black voters might see it as Muslims purchasing the affections of Democrats/pushing themselves to the front of the line and moving Blacks back.
Now: what are Democrats going to do to keep both groups happy?
Stay tuned.
