More From the HLF Exhibits on the Ikhwan in AmericaBy Douglas Farah
While there are signs the deliberations in the case against the Holy Land Foundation are deadlocked, an ongoing review of government exhibits compiled by the NEFA Foundation are the gift that keep on giving in relation to the Muslim Brotherhood's activity in the United States. Several things stand out in the overall review of the exhibits, which are internal HLF documents, written by the Muslim Brothers themselves. It is not hearsay or impressions, but in their own words, accepted as such by the defense and uncontested when placed in court as exhibits. One exhibit stands out because it show HLF gave a $5,000 check to CAIR in 1994, just as CAIR was getting founded. Nothing unusual about that, except that, in September 2003 Congressional testimony CAIR executive director Nihad Awad said that it was "an outright lie" that his organization had received ANY seed money from HLF. He challenged Steve Emerson to produce "even a shred of evidence" that HLF had provided such funds. To the untrained eye this seems like a rather large, unshredded piece of evidence.
