Obama’s ‘Outreach’: Millions to be Spent Restoring Islamic Sites Worldwide
Appeasement of Islam and Muslims to the point of damaging his approval ratings has been a hallmark of the Obama administration
As US President Barack Hussein Obama continues on his seemingly endless quest to appease Muslims, with instructions to NASA to ‘find a way’ to reach them, Iftar dinners at the White House and the US State Dept.’s sponsorship of Ground Zero Mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s forthcoming ‘speaking tour’ of Muslim countries (without knowledge of what exactly he’ll be talking about); it emerges that that his administration is also planning to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on the restoration of dozens of Muslim sites around the world:
WASHINGTON – The goodwill tour of the Middle East by the Imam behind the proposed mosque near ground zero is just part of the U.S. government’s efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.
This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.
Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.
The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania’s ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.
The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.
Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent almost $26 million on the program to fund about 640 cultural preservation projects in more than 100 countries.
“The fund has demonstrated America’s respect for the world’s cultural heritage,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last month in announcing the 2010 projects. “Cultural heritage serves as a reminder of historical experiences and achievements of humanity. Ancient structures and objects offer important lessons for us today.”
Throughout his administration, Obama has been fervent in his support of Islam and Muslims and distinctly cold towards other faiths. Some believe that he is in fact Muslim himself (we believe this to be at least technically true, as he was born to a Muslim father and schooled as a Muslim in Indonesia – which would make him at the very least an apostate of Islam, if, as he claims, he is now a Christian).
But why, at a time when America is coming out of one of the worst recessions in history, is he squandering US taxpayers’ money on such naked appeasement as this? Surely it is the responsibility of Muslims to maintain their own holy sites? How many Synagogues and churches will be receiving the same largesse (no, don’t answer – that was a rhetorical question)?
Despite Hillary’s noble attempts to to justify this absurd initiative, it boils down to little more than propitiation – and will, as regular Un:dhimmi readers know, lead to nothing. The Islamists will take your money, curse you behind your backs and carry on espousing Jihad anyway.

When can we just start calling it “jizya”?
We are very lucky that the Europeans tend to keep their historic churches in very good condition. This will save us a lot of money when Notre Dame, Westminster and the Vatican become mosques. The jizya can go directly to the new royal family.
???WTF? Why when we talk about the first amendment and freedom FROM religion are we doing this? As I recall there is very little/no federal money available to restore the original Spanish missions in California (hey isn’t that OUR cultural heritage?) yet we spend OUR money that we DON’T have when Americans are unemployed on mosques in other countries??
This is absolute insanity. “We are Government” is right, call it what it is.
from the article: “….coming out of one of the worse recessions in history…” I wish, I thought other indications are we are just starting, in which case this makes even LESS sense. How this this help AMERICANS in any way, shape or form? Give the money to NASA and let them get back to making the U.S. #1 again.

jizya, LOL. that’s just about right.If you believe Islam is a danger DON’T rebuild for them it’s confirming the faith.

First Obama spends $23 million on backing the new constitution in Kenya which will allow Sharia Law in some areas of Kenya. That will cause a lot deaths won’t. Knowing the history of the Muslims. Now he come up with this BS when the American People are hurting and out of work.
And he says that he is not a Muslim. I’ve got some ocean beach front property in Montana that I’ll sell you.
LOL… for Americans who keep mum on these ridiculous missions by Obama. wake up! non-Muslim Americans!
Er…how many temples and churches were destroyed by Muslims? How much money are Muslims spending on renovating the remaining temples and churches in the Middle East and Asia?
How much is US yearly donation to Israel just for occupation and onslaughtering?
Occupation of what or whom, exactly? And what on Earth is ‘onslaughtering?’
This needs to face a court test. IMHO it is a violation of CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Title 22, Section 205.1(d) Write to your representatives, the US Attorney General (that will get you someplace, right?), the IRS, and others that you can think of.
Mr. Obama, I am so glad you can find money to help these people, since they have done so much for the United States of America. I also wonder if you could help me? I am an American citizen, (will that be of any importance?), and am also having troubles of my own.
My house foundation has deteriorated badly and needs to be fixed immediately. It will most likely be around $50,000 – $75,000 to get fixed enough to be able to live in the house.
We are living on social security, which isn’t enough to live properly on, as we are too old & sick to work any longer. It would mean so much to us to have a nice home like you’re giving to all the aliens in our United States of America (illegally).
It is a drawback that I was born here, as were my parents, grand, great-grand and great-great-grand parents?
If so, Some of my relatives came over here from Germany, Ireland, etc., a long-long time ago, so I wonder if that would help me; or do I have to be from the Middle East? I can reserch back, and probably could figure a way to get related to the right people.
Please, American people wake up before it’s too late! Think little bit, you all voted for Obama expecting that he will help America, he will improve the economy , stop the war etc. All of you didn’t like Bush, the Conservative Christian. OK, I’m not a real fan of Bush , But you decided to leave your Christ and shake hands with the Devil, so don’t blame anyone except yourself.
Tell me please, what the hell has an American got to do with restoring Islamic sites, worldwide? America is broke and he spends it on Muslims? WTF? Impeach this Muslim, he is hurting America!
Why doesn’t he restore the Holy buildings and monuments of other religions that the muslims destroyed instead. Then he could turn all the Mosques in America into shelters for the homeless and they could burn the Qur’ans to keep warm. He is supposed to be representing the wishes of the people. He is behaving like a Dictator. Is he a mad Muslim? He is becoming very dangerous.
Great point.
