Despite the ACLU's recent report, apparently being named an un-indicted co-conspirator in a terrorism financing case does not carry much of a stigma. In fact, it can get you invited to the White House. As pointed out in Jihad Watch, Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), was invited to President Obama's Ramadan dinner.
ISNA is an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case, and as pointed out by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, has admitted links to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. This is not a good preview of President Obama's efforts to engage the Muslim World. Given the fact that he tacitly endorsed the ACLU's complaint about current terror financing prohibitions, by acknowledging that ""in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation," we may be in for more of the same in the future.
It is a very bad day when an organization linked to suicide terror and Jihad against the West gets an audience at the White House.
