What President Obama Didn’t Address: Who’s Funding the Hate Campaign Against Muslims?
Follow the money Good Read
It takes very little for hate to turn to murder. In February of this year, a white middle-aged male in Chapel Hill, North Carolina shot and killed three Muslim students execution style. Two were set to study to become dentists. According to the New Yorker Magazine, the killer, Craig Hicks, wrote the following on his Facebook page: “I hate Islam just as much as Christianity, but they have the right to worship in this country just as much as any others do.” According to the article, Hicks also wrote that he hoped that Jews, Christians, and Muslims might “exterminate” each other.
The President’s address last night was a deeply inadequate response to the hate fomenting in our nation and the mega amounts of dark money that want to keep it alive through the 2016 Presidential election.........
And who was behind Donors Capital Fund? All roads led to Charles Koch, the right wing billionaire. (Read our full report here.) While we were able to link Donors Capital to the funding of the film, we were not able to pinpoint the names of the individual(s) who gave the money to Donors Capital and earmarked it for producing and distributing the film.
David Horowitz, the anti-Muslim writer at Frontpage Magazine took the Obsession film on a college road show that dovetailed with its distribution through newspapers and direct mail. During the fall of 2007, and continuing into 2008, Horowitz promoted an “Islamo-Fascism Awareness” program to more than 100 college campuses, with the film Obsessionmade available for viewing. The David Horowitz Freedom Center, a non profit, has received major funding from the same parties that have funded Donors Capital Fund and its sister organization, Donors Trust. Major among those donors is the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.
