US-Funds Pakistani Muslim Group To Organize Anti-Taliban Rallies, Groups Ends Up Protesting In Favor of Radical Islamist Who Assassinated Liberal Politician…
When will we learn?
(ABC News) — The U.S. gave money to a Pakistani Muslim group that organized anti-Taliban rallies, but which later demonstrated in support of an extremist who killed a leading liberal politician, the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan said Wednesday.
The grant highlights the difficulties facing Washington as it seeks partners to support religious moderation in Pakistan. Last month, The Associated Press reported that the U.S. Embassy had created a counter-extremism unit to perform that mission.
U.S. government website Usaspending.gov shows that the group, the Sunni Ittehad Council, received $36,607 from Washington in 2009.
A U.S. diplomat said that the embassy had given money to the group to organize the rallies, but that it had since changed direction and leadership. He said it was a one-off grant, and wouldn’t be repeated. He didn’t give his name because he wasn’t authorized to speak about the issue on the record.
The grant was first reported by the Council of Foreign Relations on its website.

Pakistan is lost!
You can thank the Department of State for this nonsense; pissing away our tax dollars on mindless shit.
So we end up paying for the signs that read; “DEATH TO AMERICA!”???
They need Barry as a community organizer. He is available after Nov 2012.
If we are going to send money over there why can’t it just be in the form of bombs?
Not to worry, good intentions and talking equate to success regardless of the outcome. Mission accomplished!
So separation of “Church & State” is just a concept for the homeland?
Luke 12:2-3…Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees (religious paid professionals), which is hypocrisy (producing unrest and violent agitation). Nothing is (so closely) covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known…
Doh!
