Excerpt:
The Illinois State Police have revoked the appointment of a Muslim cleric to become a chaplain with the agency after learning about his documented ties to terrorist financiers.
In January, the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) reported that Kifah Mustapha had completed a training program and was poised to become the agency's first certified Muslim chaplain. The story pointed to court records in which Mustapha acknowledged working as a fundraiser for the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which was shut down by the U.S. government in 2001 due to its connections to the Hamas terrorist group.
Mustapha was included on a list of unindicted co-conspirators during the Holy Land Foundation's subsequent prosecution for providing material support to terrorists. The case ended in November 2008 with convictions on 108 counts.
