Gavin Newsom Funds Mosques Promoting Hate and Violence<\/h2>\n<p>California Governor Gavin Newsom (D.) has come under fire\u200b for awarding millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to mosques that preach\u2063 anti-Semitic hate and call for violence against Israel. This shocking revelation has raised concerns about the \u200cpotential consequences of such funding.<\/p>\n<p>Under Newsom&#8217;s administration, the Sajjadia \u200dIslamic Society received $200,000 this year as part of the Nonprofit\u2062 Security Grant\u200d program, which aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/outgoing-border-patrol-chief-calls-for-more-wall-construction\/\" title=\"Border Patrol Chief urges increased wall construction.\">enhance security measures<\/a> for nonprofits\u200b against terrorist attacks. However, in a recent sermon at the mosque, pro-Iran cleric Hamza Sodagar praised Hezbollah leader\u2064 Hassan Nasrallah and claimed that Allah sent rockets from \u200dHamas or \u200cHezbollah to strike Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom has also granted funds to other mosques, such as the Islamic Center of Hawthorne and Islamic Center of Riverside, whose\u200b imams \u2063have expressed hatred towards Jews \u2062and prayed for their destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Newsom administration has allocated a staggering\u200d $40 million to California mosques whose leaders openly advocate for the annihilation of Jews and Israel. This dangerous rhetoric has the potential to incite violence, which contradicts the very purpose of the grants.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom,\u2063 who is considered \u2063a potential future Democratic presidential\u2063 contender, recently announced his intention \u200dto double funding for the nonprofit security program in California. He cited the &#8220;unconscionable terrorist attacks in Israel&#8221; as the reason behind this decision. It is important to note that the grants are intended for both \u200bsynagogues and mosques.<\/p>\n<p>Following an\u200d inquiry by the Washington\u200c Free Beacon, the Office of Emergency \u200cServices \u200din California, responsible for administering the grants, stated that they are investigating whether any of the mosques have violated their grant requirements by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/actblue-facilitating-donations-to-terror-tied-charity-legal-group-says\/\" title=\"ActBlue Facilitating Donations to Terror-Tied Charity, Legal Group Says\">promoting hate speech<\/a>. If any breach is confirmed, the funding will be immediately revoked. The state of California <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gavin-newsom-gave-millions-to-mosques-that-cheer-the-annihilation-of-jews\/\" title=\"Gavin Newsom Gave Millions to Mosques that Cheer the Annihilation of Jews\">firmly rejects hate speech<\/a> and discrimination in all forms, recognizing its threat to democratic values, social stability, and peace.<\/p>\n<p>Last year,\u200b Newsom provided $200,000 \u2063to the Islamic \u200cSociety\u2063 of Corona-Norco, where preacher Hussam Ayloush vehemently denied that Hamas&#8217;s \u200dinvasion of \u2064Israel \u200bwas an unprovoked\u200b attack. He expressed frustration with the term and\u200b questioned its definition.<\/p>\n<p>At the Islamic Center \u200bof San Gabriel Valley, which\u200c received $200,000 this year, preacher Amir Mertaban expressed\u2064 support for Iraqis fighting American forces and Palestinians engaged\u2062 in conflict with Israel. He defended these \u2063individuals against accusations of \u200cterrorism and demanded proof \u2064of any claims that \u2063innocent Israelis were killed by Hamas fighters.<\/p>\n<p>It is alarming to note that some \u200bof the grant recipients have been associated with Islamist terrorists. For \u2063instance, the Islamic \u200bCenter of San Diego, which received $200,000, was the\u2064 home mosque of two 9\/11\u2064 hijackers. \u2062Its imam, Taha Hassane, justified resistance against Israel, arguing that those fighting for\u2062 their\u2064 lives cannot be labeled as terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Masjed of Riverside, affiliated with the Islamic \u200cCenter of\u200c Riverside, received $200,000. This\u200d mosque was previously\u2063 attended by Syed\u2062 Rizwan \u200cFarook, who carried \u200bout a terrorist \u2063attack in \u2063San Bernardino in 2015. The mosque&#8217;s leader, Imam Mahmoud Harmoush, called\u200b for the destruction of Jews in a sermon.<\/p>\n<p>The Islamic Center of Hawthorne, another grant recipient, has also been associated with hateful rhetoric. Preacher Hamdy \u200dSadek urged Allah to purify the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the malevolence of Jews and claimed that &#8220;weak\u2063 Muslims&#8221; are influenced\u200b by Jewish media.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom has also awarded grants to Islamic advocacy groups allegedly linked\u200b to Hamas. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which the federal government has labeled \u2064a co-conspirator of \u200bHamas, received recognition \u200bin Newsom&#8217;s statement announcing the doubling of the grant program. \u2062CAIR&#8217;s executive director, Zahra Billoo, has made anti-Semitic remarks in the past and \u2063encouraged Muslims to oppose &#8220;polite Zionists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It \u2064is worth noting that Ahmed Billoo, Zahra Billoo&#8217;s brother, has preached at several mosques funded by Newsom&#8217;s program. In 2019, he published a prayer while in Israel, calling for the\u2063 reduction\u200b and extermination of Jews. \u200dIn 2007, he justified suicide\u200d bombers on a &#8220;case-by-case basis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 revelation of\u200c Newsom&#8217;s funding\u200b decisions has sparked outrage and\u2064 raised concerns about the potential consequences of supporting\u200b mosques that promote hate and violence. \u200dIt remains to be seen how the investigation by the Office of \u200bEmergency Services will unfold and whether any corrective actions will be taken.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2064How can taxpayer funds be\u2062 better allocated to ensure that they are not supporting organizations that promote hate speech and violence?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Funds provided by Governor Newsom have been used to support mosques that promote \u2062hate and violence. These revelations\u2064 raise serious concerns about the allocation of taxpayer funds and the potential consequences of supporting institutions that preach anti-Semitic rhetoric and call for violence against Israel.<\/p>\n<p>One \u2062such recipient of Newsom&#8217;s funding is the Sajjadia Islamic Society, which received $200,000 this year through the Nonprofit Security Grant program. The aim of\u200d this\u2063 program is to enhance security measures for nonprofits against terrorist attacks. However, in a recent sermon delivered at the mosque, Hamza Sodagar, a pro-Iran cleric, praised Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah \u2063and claimed that \u2064Allah sent rockets from Hamas or Hezbollah to strike\u2062 Israel. Such statements of support for terrorist\u2062 organizations and justification of violence are deeply troubling.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, other mosques such as the Islamic Center of Hawthorne and Islamic Center of Riverside, which have also received funds from Newsom&#8217;s administration, have seen their imams express hatred \u2063towards Jews and pray\u200b for their destruction. This kind of rhetoric not only breeds \u2062an \u2062environment of intolerance and hostility but also poses a serious threat to social stability and peace.<\/p>\n<p>It is particularly alarming that \u2062the Newsom administration has allocated a staggering $40 million to California mosques whose leaders openly advocate for the \u2062annihilation of Jews and Israel.\u200d This dangerous rhetoric has the potential to incite violence, which is contradictory to\u200d the \u200dvery purpose of the \u2064grants being provided.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Newsom, who is considered a potential future\u200d Democratic presidential contender,\u2062 recently announced his intention to \u200bdouble the funding for the nonprofit security program in California, citing the\u200d &#8220;unconscionable terrorist attacks in Israel&#8221; as the reasoning behind this \u2064decision. It is crucial to emphasize that these grants are intended for both synagogues and mosques.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 response to \u200ban inquiry by the Washington Free Beacon, the Office of Emergency Services in California, \u2062responsible \u200bfor administering the grants, stated that they\u2062 are currently investigating whether any of the mosques have violated their grant requirements by promoting hate speech. If any breach is confirmed,\u2063 the funding will be immediately revoked. California,\u2062 as a state, firmly rejects hate speech and discrimination in all its forms, recognizing the threat it poses to democratic values, social stability, and peace.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that this is not the first time \u2062Newsom has provided funds to mosques with controversial affiliations. Last \u2063year, he allocated $200,000 to the Islamic Society of Corona-Norco, where preacher Hussam Ayloush vehemently denied that Hamas&#8217; invasion of Israel was an unprovoked attack and questioned the definition of the term &#8220;invasion&#8221;. These \u200cinstances further highlight \u2063the \u200bneed for thorough evaluation and scrutiny of the organizations receiving taxpayer funds.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the revelation that Governor Newsom has awarded millions of dollars in taxpayer funds to mosques that promote hate and violence is deeply concerning. This funding has the potential to incite violence and perpetuate hostility. It is imperative that\u200c public officials thoroughly investigate the recipients of grants \u2062to ensure that taxpayer funds are not being used \u200bto support organizations that promote hate speech and endorse violence. Preserving democratic values, social stability, and peace should be the top priority when allocating taxpayer funds, regardless of religious affiliation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Gov.
