(Free Beacon) The Department of Homeland Security recently awarded anti-terrorism grants to a Florida mosque linked to pro-terror Islamic clerics, 9/11 conspiracy theorists, and an anti-Semitic pastor who claims “the Jews” conduct “secret rituals” at holy sites in Jerusalem.
DHS gave nearly $300,000 to the Deen Center, Inc., on Jan. 31 as part of its Nonprofit Security Grant Program, according to the federal spending database USASpending. The grants to the Tampa-area mosque were approved by the Biden administration in October, according to Florida state records.
While the program — overseen by FEMA — is designed to help religious institutions protect against terrorist attacks, the Deen Center has embraced clerics, activists, and Muslim scholars who have promoted terrorist attacks against the United States and Israel and has pushed anti-Semitic tropes.
