The Texas state government has handed over $13 million of federal and state monies to mosques and community groups aligned with Islamist movements such as Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as hostile foreign regimes.
In sermons reviewed by the Middle East Forum and published in this report, officials and imams of beneficiary mosques expressed rhetoric that was openly pro-terror and anti-semitic.
In two instances, beneficiary mosques appear to be directly partnered with the Iranian regime.
Twelve of the eighteen Islamic organizations that received monies from the the state of Texas were found, in an investigation carried out by the Middle East Forum, to be under varying levels of Islamist influence.
These twelve organizations with extremist links received almost 99.4 percent of the funds provided by the Texas state government to Islamic organizations.
While a few thousand dollars in the state government’s data consists of the return of escheated funds, the vast majority of the millions spent appear to be the result of direct state grants, subsidy programs, and federal sub-awards managed by the Texas state government.
