Walz is a traitor to humanity:

Under the watch of Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), Minnesota handed over more
than $2 million to an Islamic organization raising funds for a charity connected to an al Qaeda-affiliated group, according to records reviewed
by the Washington Examiner.

The Islamic Association of North America (IANA), which has received
state grants from 2019 through 2024, is currently fundraising for Rahma Worldwide—a Michigan-based charity reportedly sending “humanitarian aid” to Gaza in the wake of Hamas’s October 7th attack on Israel last year. A deleted Facebook post from October 2023 by Rahma Worldwide’s President,
Shadi Zaza, confirmed the charity was collaborating on an aid effort
with Kuwait’s Islamic Heritage Revival Society, a U.S.-sanctioned
terrorist group for its support of al Qaeda.

This revelation comes as Governor Walz faces mounting criticism
following Washington Examiner reports exposing his ties to controversial
Muslim cleric Asad Zaman. Walz has consistently hosted Zaman, who has
shown open support for neo-Nazis and defended the October 7th attacks on Israel. At a 2018 event hosted by the Zaman-led Muslim American Society
of Minnesota, Walz even referred to Zaman as a “master teacher.”

Despite the clear connections, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign insists Walz has no personal relationship with Zaman. However, Harris
and Walz officials have dodged requests for comments on the matter.

Terrorism analyst Sam Westrop from the Middle East Forum criticized the administration’s actions, stating, “Embracing and funding an imam that sympathizes with neo-Nazis was apparently only the start.”

Formed in 2001—the same year the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation was designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury
Department—the IANA describes itself as a “nationwide umbrella
organization with over 35 centers,” including more than a dozen in
Minnesota. IANA claims to represent Muslim communities nationally and
speak on behalf of its member organizations, including mosques that pay membership dues.

The Minnesota Health Department awarded over $238,600 to IANA in 2024
alone. In 2023, the agency granted them $191,900, following a
million-dollar award in 2022 and over $612,200 from 2019 to 2021. These
funds were supposedly for public health initiatives, including community vaccinations and outreach to the Somali community.

Yusuf Abdi Abdulle, IANA’s director, publicly stated on October 7th that “Palestine has the right to defend itself,” prompting Zaman to respond
with an image of a Palestinian flag. On the same day, the Walz-backed
IANA echoed a statement from its partner group accusing Israel of “unprovoked” attacks in Gaza, despite Hamas’s brutal killing of 1,200 Israelis.
