A More Accurate and Appropriate Headline - Muslims Find Donating To Terrorist Groups More Difficult.

Instead, the Detroit Free Press ran this headline:

ACLU: Terrorism crackdown hurting Islamic charities

BY NIRAJ WARIKOO • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • June 17, 2009

The American Civil Liberties Union released a report Tuesday that said the U.S. government's crackdown on terrorism financing has hampered the religious freedom of American Muslims by making it difficult for them to donate to Islamic charities.

Called "Blocking Faith, Freezing Charity," the 166-page report is based on 120 interviews with Muslim donors and leaders.

The report said that nine American Muslim charities, including the Dearborn-based Goodwill Charitable Organization, have been shut down since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a result of government action during the Bush administration.

Now if the ACLU and Free Press want to report with a straight face that donating to terrorist groups is a religious requirement of adherents of the "Religion of Peace", they are of course free to do so, but the cognitive dissonance should really be causing some headaches by now.
