Ben Rhodes doesn't like to talk about the atrocities that happened in Myanmar in 2017.

I want to know why the Obama administration allowed Jamaat-I-Islami charities to collect money for the Rohingya in the US.

The FBI is investigating those Jamaat charities. Ask Paul Manafort.

A jihadi group was borne.

6 months later it changed its tune, becoming a secular movement for Rohingya rights. It tried to start a race war.

Wakar Uddin was the Chairman of Muslim Aid America. He is also the political leader of Rohingya. He wrote that ARSA weren't a radical Islamist group.

The @CrisisGroup say otherwise.

South Asian govs had been monitoring the buildup of ARSA since 2012.
Whistleblowers at Muslim Aid told me that the American branch didn't do any work and was a funding conduit. Obama WH supporting it.

Muslim Aid was put into special measures in 2014 by the Brit government. Pakistani intelligence had been using the charity for its covert wars.

The US branch of a charity which the British government put into special measures in 2014.

So, if the British government had decided to finally act on Jamaat's charities in the UK. Why was the US and the Obama administration undermining their work to tackle radicalism?

The FBI have open investigations into Jamaat.

Why was the jihadi, not a jihadi groups Facebook page being run out of the US.

Facebook closed it down saying it promoted violence. It actually didn't. South Asian journalists looked at it before it was closed.
