Aw Gee Whiz, Susie Creemcheese ... look at who started the whole meghilla. Our good old friends at the "these people don't exist according to Pope Olog" people ... :)A mass e-mail sent out by the Christian, conservative American Family Association claims that Obama is giving foreign aid to overseas mosques. Robertson/Falwell/Crouch people would NEVER fib. LOL |

Did you read the piece? There wasn't "hundreds of millions" spent restoring mosques. It was tens of millions spent restoring all kinds of cultural monuments. |

Then why don't you try counter-debunking some of the cites factcheck provides about USAid and the State Department? Unfortunately, since this is a 3 year old story you're propping up, some of the direct links don't work, though you can search based on the links' titles. Snopes has some more recent links.And you still haven't explained how dand124 is defending terrorism. |

Not "hundreds of millions" as per your original piece, and not just mosques. It was never claimed that no money was ever spent restoring mosques. |

I did. You didn't explain anything, you simply dismissed his link. And posting counterpoints to your original claim is not "argument from authority", it's called debunking. Otherwise, your initial post would be just as fallacious. |

Then read it again. It pointed out a) the amount of money devoted to mosques was not even close to the claim in your original piece; b) the money in general was either spent restoring cultural edifices, or spent to fix a sewer system. Not exactly a big push for supporting or "defending" terrorism there. |

They're total budget for FY 2010 was approximately $32 million, for ALL activities, including health, mine clearing, etc. Hard to see how that suddenly ballooned to $770 million for mosques. |
