Obama Financing Mosques Around The World According to recent reports, a Channel 2 Action News investigation found that the State Department has been sending millions of dollars to save mosques overseas. This comes at a time when the United States has been working to cut almost $4 trillion in government spending. Of course, many citizens are outraged at the fact that the United States are investing millions to refurbish mosques at a time when there are threats to eliminate interest education for home mortgages. We are spending money we dont have, Jared Thomas, an advocate for tax payers, told reporters. This is all on a gigantic credit card right now. While our country is struggling to get by, millions of dollars have been sent to places like Cyprus. I think it is very hard to explain to the American taxpayer right now whose having an extraordinary time paying bills and making ends meet that this is why we took this out of your paycheck, so we can fund this, Thomas continued. Of course, the State Department declined Channel 2 Action News request for an interview, but they did respond by email, claiming that they are fighting Islamic extremism by building relationships with Islamic leaders. This plan is actually backfiring, Egyptian-American human rights activist Nonie Darwish argues, claiming that trying to buy respect from the Middle East will only showcase weakness. This part of the world has a lot of respect for power and America is not showing its power, its showing its appeasement, Darwish told reporters. They are laughing all the way to the bank. What do you think? Does Obama need to cut this initiative immediately?
