DONATE NOW to give us the resources to win in November   CCFW partner connected to Islamic Terrorism Catholic Charities of Fort Worth is working with a Muslim Organization with ties to Islamic terrorism. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve talked about Catholic Charities of Fort Worth and the nearly billion dollars they’ve received from Biden-Harris to give money to illegal aliens. It took them a while, but after their emergency PR meeting to discuss our report, they responded - you can read that here, which was sent out to Catholics in Fort Worth (you can also read the Q&A letter they sent here). We do have another bombshell for you today, but first, we want to address a few points from their response. In the letter by their CEO Michael Iglio, they assure readers that money only goes to “legal immigrants.” On its face, that’s true. But, as JD Vance said, if migrants are made “legal” by an illegal wave of the wand from the Biden-Harris administration, that doesn’t mean very much. For example: in the last few weeks many people, including President Trump, have pointed out that “legal” Haitian migrants are eating people’s dogs and cats. You should know that the grant program CCFW is receiving much of this money from, HHS Assistance Listing Number 93.566, specifically includes these Haitians as a group that can receive the money. Iglio also says that their program, the Texas Office for Refugees, “administers federal funds from the Office of Refugee Resettlement and partners with more than two dozen nonprofits across Texas.” They do indeed provide grant money to other organizations, but that statement is somewhat misleading. To be clear, $71 million of the federal grant money, according to CCFW’s 2023 audit, was spent directly by the organization last year. Proof of that can be found here. Now to that bombshell we mentioned earlier. CCFW’s CEO said that they partner with other nonprofits. You should know that one of these nonprofits with which they partner is a Muslim organization that advocates for ending the Israeli “apartheid state” and “brutal military occupation,” has ties to Muslim terrorist organizations, hosts Hamas protests at the Texas and US Capitols, and echoes calls of the Palestinian president to fight "the Zionists." Islamic Circle of North America has partnered with Catholic Charities of Fort Worth for years. In a Fort Worth Report Article from 2021, an officer for their Dallas branch named Hala Halabi said about Catholic Charities of Fort Worth that the organization had “been there, I mean, step by step, with us.” In 2022, Islamic Circle's Relief organization posted about an event on their Facebook, saying "It is always nice meeting with our great partner Texas Office for Refugees" (the department of CCFW). The relationship between CCFW and Islamic Circle didn’t stop there. Just this April, Biden’s Assistant Secretary of the Population, Refugees, and Migration Bureau held an event with both CCFW and Islamic Circle thanking them for their help in bringing migrants into the country; she said that, with the help of these organizations, they had brought in 50,000 people by April 11th of this year. CCFW is still working with and promoting the Islamic Circle - even this very minute. On the website for the Texas Office of Refugees - which Michael Iglio said is a department of CCFW - they have a list of “service providers.” There are 22 organizations on the list and two of them are Islamic Circle Dallas and Islamic Circle Fort Worth. In summary, 10% of the providers promoted on their website are chapters of Islamic Circle. As an aside: you can see on the provider map of the Texas Office for Refugees (CCFW), that Islamic Circle's Fort Worth office is right down the street from CCFW. You can see for yourself here. As previously mentioned, Islamic Circle holds protests calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, and even refers to Israel as an “apartheid state.” They even have a program that advocates for polygamy! Islamic Center has a program under its umbrella called “WhyIslam.” WhyIslam has a webpage committed to the defense of polygamy, found here, that suggests polygamy is a better solution than monogamy. Quote: “Do they really enjoy sincere and faithful ‘monogamy’ as the norm?” The anti-Jewish sentiment, leftist protests, and defense of polygamy are bad enough (none of which are very Catholic, by the way). To make matters worse, Islamic Circle has deep ties to overseas Muslim terrorism. Islamic Circle is a “leading domestic affiliate” of the Pakistani terrorist group Jamaat-e-Islami and in a brochure, their stated goal is to “achieve the pleasure of Allah through the establishment of the Islamic system in this land.” Islamic Circle even works with Al Khidmat, the “charity” wing of Jammat-e-Islami, which funds and supports Hamas terrorists. For decades, the Islamic Circle has been linked to the Pakistani terrorist organization Jamaat-e-Islami. In a 1997 printing of Islamic Circle’s bimonthly publication The Message International, for example, armed struggle - jihad - is described as an Islamic duty. The publication even has interviews with Jammat-e-Islami leaders “support[ing] the Islamist movement’s goal to establish a global caliphate and commend[ing Islamic Circle’s] role in the ‘advancement of Islamic ideology.’” A member of the terrorist group was a featured speaker at Islamic Circle’s 2019 convention in Washington, DC. In that interview, he blamed Jews for 9/11, which he described as “a fitting response to American arrogance.” We could go on and on about the connection between Islamic Circle’s partner Jammat-e-Islami with terrorism. If you want more proof, you can click here for a brief summary, and here for a 100-page report by the Investigative Project. Clearly Islamic Circle does not represent Catholic or American values in any way. It is deeply concerning that Catholic Charities of Fort Worth is working alongside such a group, especially given their track record of working with the Biden-Harris administration to bring in and pay illegal aliens from Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti. .
