Why would a racist, violent, dangerous organization like the Nation of Islam be receiving taxpayer dollars in the first place?

Out of control government. Why would a racist, violent, dangerous organization like the Nation of Islam be receiving taxpayer dollars in the first place?

“The federal government should not use taxpayer dollars to subsidize one of the most infamous hate groups in the United States,” said Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.). “That’s why I’m demanding your department immediately cease all contracts with the Nation of Islam and prohibit it from receiving any contracts in the future.”

    By Jackson Richman, JNS, January 8, 2019:


    (January 8, 2019 / JNS) Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) called on the U.S. Department of Justice to end funding for the Nation of Islam.

    The Washington Examiner first reported this development and the funding of “at least $364,500 in contracts and awards” from the DOJ and the U.S. Bureau of Prisons between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2019.

So when did we taxpayers start funding Nation of Islam?  The article mentions the period between 2008 and 2019.  Did this start under Obama?

I really think the entire federal government needs an independent audit, the results of which should be made public.  The feds should not be throwing our money around at anyone they please and we, the people, should know where our money is going. 

Government should not be funding religious organizations, especially one which advocates hate and violence.
