Extremists have been misusing the U.S. nonprofit system for years, with Florida as a prime example. The Al-Qassam Mosque, incorporated in 1992 as the Islamic Community of Tampa, listed Sami Al-Arian as its Registered Agent, who was convicted in 2006 for supporting Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The board included Ramadan Abdullah Shallah, secretary-general of PIJ and on the FBI’s Most Wanted list. Hatem Fariz, released from prison for conspiracy to support PIJ, later became the mosque's director. Despite these ties, the network remains active due to slow enforcement and constitutional limitations involving religion and free speech. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's $125.8 billion budget draft faces critical negotiations with the city council. #NewYorkCity #nonprofit #terrorism #budget #Florida #taqiyya https://www.city-journal.org/article/florida-extremist-networks-nonprofits?utm_source=virtuous&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cjdaily++https://www.city-journal.org/article/florida-extremist-networks-nonprofits?skip=1&utm_source=virtuous&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cjdaily&vcrmeid=qtpxwqKNk21NzCS1ouxhg&vcrmiid=Os4d1nrKsE218NCTNZmHTw
