A federally-funded Muslim social services group that counts an accused former Hamas operative as its spiritual leader says that Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions should be disqualified from serving as attorney general.
Wafa House, based in Clifton, N.J., appears to be concerned that a Sessions-led DOJ will cut into its funding stream because of the Republican’s past votes against the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law which provides billions of dollars in funding to investigate and prosecute violence crimes against women.
Wafa House, which focuses on cases involving Muslim and immigrant victims, received $800,000 in federal grants last year through VAWA and a DOJ victims assistance program.
The non-profit’s grants last year far surpassed previous years’ totals as well as its entire budget for 2015. The group received $45,000 in each of the previous three years. In 2015, its entire budget was $360,000, its tax forms show.

Cut it!
Approximately .2 percent of population received several BILLION dollars of tax payer money?
Huh? Cut it!!!!
Ridiculous they get anything. But when you had a Muslim President this does not surprise me. This money should have been given to the Vets and Homeless right here in the US. Trump should be able to lower the deficit by billions by taking away Obama's Muslim free money.
If all these people can see into the future what this person or that person is going to do, why didn't the see that Trump was going to win?
