The Blaze radio network on demand back was the Obama administration, the toughest administration on terrorism. That's the line. The left and the media has wanted us to swallow. You know, forget about supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the founders of modern day jihadism, and also let's forget about giving the world's leading state sponsor of terror a ran $400 million in cash on a palette at the Tehran airport. Let's forget about those little hiccups because after all, he killed Bin Laden. I think he did it with his own hands. Here's the president, President Obama back in 2011 on the state of al-Qaeda. Listen, by the time we found Bin Laden al-Qaeda's agenda had come to be seen by the vast majority of the region as a dead end and the people of the Middle East and North Africa had taken their future into their own hands. The people of Africa. So let me just make sure I have this right. In other words, their leader was dead and the movement was dying. So let's accept that is true. Mr. President, if that was true, if you had them on the ropes, and this was all but a one battle, why was your administration giving money to al-Qaeda's global finance network? This is a story that is a little under reported on the left and the mainstream media. The story goes back 14 years. The U.S. Treasury Department had caught a group called the Islamic Relief Agency, red-handed. They were raising funds in support of jihadists. They had branches all over the world including the Middle East, in Africa, Western Europe, and even here in the United States. They were responsible for channeling over $1.2 million to Iraqi insurgents fighting U.S. soldiers in Iraq. They were also found guilty, guilty of raising more than $5 million for Osama Bin Laden. The Islamic Relief Agency was designated as a terror financing organization. Now you'd think that story would stop after that, right? But it doesn't. Ten years after they were designated as terror financiers, the Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant for them to do work in Africa. An NGO had contracted them to do work in Sudan. When the NGO mentioned that this contracted group might be on the terror list, the Obama administration then paused the deal. Now here's where it gets weird. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt for a second. It's possible somebody within the Obama administration screwed up the application process and just didn't check to see if this group was on the terror list. It's incredibly dangerous and incompetent, but at least it's understandable. But here's what I can't understand. At this point, everyone involved knows about the Islamic Relief Agency and what they're involved in. They know that they have given money to Osama Bin Laden. They know they're on the terrorist list. But knowing all of that, they still agreed to pay them $125,000. That's over $100,000 of your tax money that was given to known terrorists. How did this happen? Well that was our question over the weekend.
