The Catholic News Herald, “Connecting Catholics in North Carolina”, bragged that the refugee case coordinator for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, had been recently honored.
His name? Ashir Haji-Mohamed. The latter part of the name meant that he had made a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca.
Haji-Mohamed, a former Somali refugee, had previously been in the news for helping resettle Syrian Muslims, as well as Jordanians and Turks, in North Carolina. After the Biden retreat, Catholic Charities of Charlotte had also worked to bring Afghans to North Carolina.
The Islamic Center of Asheville doubled in size as Catholic Charities dispatched Afghans there, and then working with “a Catholic Charities volunteer—a Muslim from Pakistan” transported Afghan Muslims back and forth from their growing mosque in the Blue Ridge Mountains in what an article described as an “island surrounded by bright red, Trump-voting counties.”
When the Trump administration in its first term imposed a temporary travel ban for Muslim terrorist states, Mayada Idlibi, a Syrian Muslim who worked for Catholic Charities in Charlotte, and had previously taken part in World Hijab Day, attended a protest in support of Muslim mass migration to America and against President Trump’s efforts to stop Islamic terrorism.
The troubling events in Charlotte are just one example of the Islamization of Catholic Charities.
Last month, Front Page Magazine+ exclusively reported on how refugee services at the Catholic Community Services of Utah is actually run by Aden Batar, a Somali Muslim refugee imported by the organization, who also serves as the president of the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake. The case manager supervisor for refugee resettlement there is named Khalid Al Hachami.
The story shocked many people and received over 100,000 views on Twitter, but has become all too typical of Catholic refugee programs that are run by Muslims to bring Muslims to America.
And dual roles at a Catholic refugee group and an Islamic mosque are not even unusual.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston Houston employs Samira, a Muslim ‘refugee’ from Afghanistan, as a case manager. This information was put out as a press release as the Archdiocese declared that it was expecting to import hundreds of Afghan families to Houston.
Also working as a case manager at the Archdiocese was Umarfarouk Omaru Lolleh who also appears to be the chairman of the board at the United Muslim Association of Houston (UMAH).
Catholic refugee groups aren’t just bringing Muslims to America, they’re also transporting them to local mosques and even providing leaders for those mosques being set up in America.
Muslims have become so ubiquitous at Catholic Charities that you can count multiple Mohammeds in a single local operation. And that represents only a percentage of the total Muslim employees.
At Catholic Charities of Central and Northern Missouri’s Refugee and Immigration Services two out of three case managers are Muslim. Yusuf Mohammed, one of the case managers, is a Somali Muslim who was resettled in Columbia, Missouri. He’s one of at least two Yusuf Mohammeds who works at this particular Catholic Charities center.
When the first Muslim migrant from Afghanistan arrived in Columbia, Missouri, he was welcomed by the Islamic Center of Central Missouri and the Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri. Representing Catholic Charities was Ismat Rashid Kaakar, the Catholic Charities Afghan Program Coordinator, and Frishta Aslami, the Case Management Supervisor at Catholic Charities, whose name means ‘Submission to Allah’: both of them from Afghanistan.
Catholic Charities of Central and Northeastern Missouri had helped make Missouri the eighth largest recipient of Afghan migrants.
At the Refugee and Immigrant Services of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Zaki Mohammad Ahmadji serves as the director of refugee services while Sajjad Jawad works as the Supervisor of Employment Services. The archdiocese directory also shows two other employees named some form of Mohammed. That’s a lot of men named after Islam’s founder working at a Catholic organization. But many of these Catholic organizations now have more Islamic priorities.
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis’s fanaticism had previously made headlines when it sent out press releases boasting that it had defied then Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to resettle a Syrian ‘family.’ “We welcome this family during Advent, a time when the Christian community asks God to renew our hope,” then Archbishop Joseph Tobin declared in the press release.
Since much of the Catholic Charities resettlement business focuses on Muslim migrants, employing Muslims from those same parts of the world to act as case managers and interpreters to usher in more of their fellow migrants has become routine around the country.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma posted a picture of its refugee case manager Maleeha Siddique waving an Afghan flag and bragged that “because of our recent work resettling 1,800 Afghan refugees in Oklahoma, it provided Maleeha the opportunity to serve those from her home country” and announced how happy it was that she was “able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with others, a festivity that marks the end of Ramadan.”
Basira Faizy, the Afghan case worker at Catholic Charities of Arkansas, became a celebrity after she appeared on Hillary Clinton’s short lived TV series Gutsy. Faizy came to the U.S. along with 15 members of her family.
How is Catholic Charities being so rapidly Islamized?
The story of Hekmatullah Latifi, an Afghan who used to work for USAID, is instructive. Latifi went from working for Catholic Charities at the Arlington Diocese to becoming the Assistant Director at the Resettlement Academy in D.C. for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Biden administration’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM), the engine for the mass invasion of the United States, signed a $65 million contract with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to resettle ‘refugees’. Among other programs, PRM funded the Refugee Resettlement Academy. The Director of Recruitment for the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of D.C. is Afghani Barakzai who used to work as a senior administrator at USAID and worked at a USAID funded program for Afghanistan.
At this rate, Catholic Charities could just as easily change its name to Islamic Charities.
Anyone who thinks Asheville NC is bright red has another thing coming. I expect it won’t be long before the newcomers start throwing the natives off of rooftops.
Yeah, Asheville is about as leftist as it gets in this state. As for Catholic Charities, as a Catholic, I try and discourage anyone I know from giving to that grifter outfit. It is the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
There is a special place in Gehenna for those who use God’s name to destroy his loyal followers.
I give my weekly donation to St Vincent de Paul every Sunday since I know where the money ends up. IMHO, Catholic Charities practices suicidal empathy. I would never support them in any way.
Catholic Charities has been a sketchy, sometimes outright crazy left, org for decades, going way back to when a lawyer named patrice parillie was its counsel and made creepy remarks about the old INS during the era of the IRCA.
I was born into a devout, churchgoing Catholic family, Baptized, made my First Holy Communion, and Confirmed in the Church. In college, I often attended 6:00 a.m. daily Mass before going to class. The History of the Middle Ages course I took from a superb professor, and my study of Latin–medieval, or “Church” Latin is much easier than Horace, Cicero, or Virgil! — (even though I was an English Literature major) — enriched my understanding and intensified my piety.
But I haven’t attended Mass, nor received the Sacraments of Penance, Absolution, or the Eucharist, in decades, as I’ve watched the modern Church turn Her (or should I say “His or Her,” or “Their,” or “Its,” just to be as “PC” as the College of Cardinals and the Conference of Catholic Bishops have become?) back on the Church’s 2,000-year-old Teachings and Doctrines.
If “Catholic” “Charities” were helping authentic, pitiful, hungry refugees by feeding and TEMPORARILY sheltering them, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY CATECHIZING THEM AND PERSUASIVELY ENCOURAGING THEM TO CONVERT TO CHRISTIANITY–the traditional role of Christian missionaries–I would vigorously agree with that valuable, legitimate work.
But they’re not. Evidently, this “Charity” is run and managed not by devout, believing Catholics, but by Moslems; and they’ve joined the America-hating Hard Left and our most dangerous enemies in undermining and destroying us by flooding us with millions of hard-core, unreconstructed, Third-World Mohammedans determined to “radically transform” our own free, 250-year Constitutional Republic into the New World’s first Caliphate under Sharia.
It sickens, frightens, disgusts, and alienates me that the Hierarchy of the Church, and even more and more priests — led by the current antipope, Leo XIV, and his predecessor, the Marxist antipope Francis, not only tolerate, but seem to encourage, this suicide of Western Christendom.
I would dearly love to return to The Church and Her Sacraments; but I can’t, and won’t, until the Chair of St. Peter is once again occupied by a sincere, devout, observant Roman Catholic as the worthy Vicar of Christ on Earth instead of by a pagan-goddess-worshipping Marxist, America-bashing antipope, as both Francis and Leo XIV have shown themselves to be.
Am I a “Fallen Catholic”? I suppose so. But unlike those others, I expect to face Judgment with a clear conscience, and no fear of Damnation.
That last line is a striking level of confidence—declaring a clear conscience and no fear of judgment while walking away from the very sacraments Christ gave for salvation.
Popes have come and gone for 2,000 years—some holy, some corrupt, some weak. None of them changed the core. The sacrifice of Christ, the Mass, the path to salvation—that has remained.
The Mass of the ages has endured for well over a thousand years. It’s there today, just as it was centuries ago. If a Catholic 500 or 1,500 years ago could find his way to salvation through it, that same path is still open now.
Walking away from that isn’t a failure of the Church. It’s a personal decision.
The basic Church didn’t turn you away—you chose to become your own authority instead.”
I tell fallen Catholics the same. They leave the church for whatever their reason, and then point to corruption inside the church as their righteous excuse to leave.
Wherever humans are involved you’ll always have fallibility. However, the fallibility and corruption isn’t a reflection on Christ or His Catholic Church. Those teachings are the same for over 2, 000 years.
You are 100% correct. The above poster has no fear of damnation? That won’t end well.
When the church allows known haters of Jesus Christ to run their programs, when the pope sets up rooms for muslims to pray at the Vatican and partners with an ideology that murders those who do not accept their lies, the only correct thing to do is run away from an organization that supports the very antithesis of Christ’s teachings.
There is an easier way to protest without all this soul-searching – don’t put anything in the plate or be part of some planned giving. But keep attending Mass AND Communion.
Many of Christ’s early followers turned away from his “eat my flesh and drink my blood “ teaching leading to the ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
So stick with the mass but deny the hierarchy the funds they need for these peripheral anti-Catholic activities. It will soon be noticed.-
The hierarchy no longer need the $ from the folks in the pews. They get billions from the U.S. government.
He walked away from fraudulent hypocrites; not God himself.
Or judging by this article, he walked away from islam.
“Catholic Charities” has been nothing more than a chickenshit grifting organization fixated with undermining America for decades.
Latest proof of which, is when they had a drama-queen reaction to Trump rescuing thankful white Afrikaners from where they were hunted for sport.
You seem to have a problem with the idea of thinking for yourself. Of intellectual independence and personal integrity.
What is a person supposed to do? Blindly submit and blindly obey an alleged higher authority regardless of whether this so-called authority is speaking rationally and objectively? Submit and obey in defiance of one’s own judgement and one’s own mind?
That’s precisely what the evil of Islam and self-sacrifice come down to, the sacrifice of one’s own mind, one’s own thinking, and personal integrity.
Islam means submission, and ultimately, that means intellectual submission and obedience to whatever claims an alleged higher authority commands you to believe.
With all of your shopworn Bland Rand you seem to have a problem with leaving people alone to their own beliefs, while submitting blindly to the ruminations of a failed philosopher, who treated her husband like crap.
Personally I think you would prefer we all mindlessly submit to the chains of objectivism. Maybe you should just go away and read your books and stop trying to change the world. Judging from the number downvotes you get, no one is interested.
Tomorrow I will go to church and do what I do there. The place will be jammed. We don’t seem to have problem attracting a crowd
What’s it like to be an egomaniacal loser?
Talk about blatant hypocrisy! Here’s an idea: leave him to his comments about Ayn Rand.
I enjoyed the message of Atlas Shrugged. Conservatives should appreciate her support for capitalism.
As for “filled churches,” maybe you can explain the incredible number of churches that have closed. Look at the evidence for church attendance and get back to us. I predict that instead you’ll respond with Bargholzian-level remarks.
My break with my Catholic heritage came while I was a consultant to Social Security Disability. The SS OIG had a fraud investigation unit in Dallas. There were ever-increasing troubling applications from legal immigrants, sponsored by Catholic Charities there. The OIG was specifically and directly told by CC that they would provide no cooperation whatsoever, would not even confirm sponsorship of individuals (which is in the public record). It was my experienced opinion that CC was actually coaching fraudsters with what it took to file for benefits ($) and be found “disabled” ($$).
All the denominations are having trouble. I know an old school Bible believing Quaker, there aren’t many, of those, left in the United States, the United Quaker Association is all about gay flags and un-vetted emigration.
Well said! This is not just a Catholic issue, but a “Christian” issue as well where well meaning Protestants are extending the compassionate hand (and money) to mostly Muslims, completely blind to the repercussions of a culture which has little interest in assimilation, and looks at our generosity as “useful idiots”.
Carl Jung had a great quote: “ Everywhere in the West there are subversive minorities who, sheltered by our humanitarianism and our sense of justice, hold the incendiary torches ready, with nothing to stop the spread of their ideas except the critical reason of a single, fairly intelligent, mentally stable stratum of the population”.
quote: and He (Jesus) gave some apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers” . these are not titles, positions, poohbahs, they are giphts given to US, the church, to build up, enable, equip, encourge, motivae, WE, the church….. “to the equipping o the sints to do the wovk o the minustry that we all migh comeino the completeness o the Body o Christ.
Note well: POPE is not on thqt list. POPE is an invention o man, not establishd by the Lord. HE is the HEAD. He has no vicar, HE is alive and well today, and dwells amongst us. Didn’ He tell us “I am with you ALL DAYS”?
You want to get a good look at what the church once was? read Acts, Chapter 2, 3, and onward. Study what those early servants did, and the result as they grew in the then-known world.
You DO need to be connectd to other believers, running solo is a death spiral. I know I’ve been there. Many denomintions are just catholicism rehashed.. same ritual based magic show. search out a congregation that is bible based, and has strong community.. not just a one hour magic show once a week. That’s not church. T”o quote that Book: don’t abandon the gathering together o the saints”.. which we all are.
Mot inportant: ASK the Lord Jesus to direct you into solid cimminuty based oh His Word. He remains phaithphul,
The fact that, as a Protestant, I agree with your stance, is probably not relevant to you, since your heart aches for the Catholic church you used to know. I merely mention it so that you know where I am coming from. However, speculatively, I wonder what the situation would be for a faithful Christian who belonged to one of the churches in Revelation 2, if it was one that had not heeded the Lord’s warning, and he really had taken its Lampstand away? I am not saying that He has done that to the Catholic church, only suggesting that, if this happened, the Lord would scarcely deny salvation to someone who was faithful, just because he lacked the supports of the institutional church. I would see your situation as possibly being analogous.
As I former Catholic, I find all the essentials of the apostolic succession and the true understanding of the eucharist and auricular confession in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The liturgy is centuries old and complete.
there are many good priests out there and you would be surprised how many of them privately share your views. in confession i remarked that even though we are urged to do so – ‘i cannot pray for this Pope’ and was surprised when i was told ‘i understand. what i do is pray for the intentions of our Blessed Mother in regard to the Pope’. do not stay away from the sacraments, my friend. and God bless you and your family.
Popes, the Mafia, the Freemasons, banks and Blackfriars Bridge in London. It’s just a daisy chain of corruption.
Islam and Roman Catholicism have a lot in common. Both religions have synthesised a large part their doctrine from the Old and New Testament Testament and corrupted it to suit their agenda.
I disagree. Even though the head of the Roman Catholic Church and much of its underlings are apostates, Jesus Christ is the Church. The traditional Latin mass and strict adherence to the Bible, SSPX is the fastest growing sect of any religion at this time. The vast majority of which are young people. I could not be happier.
Islam refers to the Old and New Testament and everyone who adheres to them as the “People of the book,” a very derogatory reference. I have read the Koran because I used to fight with the Mohammedans where I worked. They accused me of teaching pornography to my daughter because in their wickedness they believe that the miraculous virgin birth was a Debby does Dallas at inception, which ended in threats of a rusty sword to a Smith&Wesson 7″ 686 357 revolver. Needless to say none of us work there any longer. My point, they are not even on the same planet.
Think about it. Everyone in the Old Testament is a Jew, God is not Allah, and Mohammedans are assured that ANY Jews is less than a dog and should be killed.
…Nothing in common.
The Apostles weren’t crafting an agenda—they were recording what they saw. Christ crucified and risen. If that’s “corruption,” what exactly should they have written instead?
You do realize that the Catholic Church preceded Protestant sects by 1500 years and that the Protestant Bible IS the Catholic Bible, minus 7 books, right?
Those 7 books were NEVER considered as sacred by the Jews or early Christians.
1 and 2 Maccabees are part of the Apocrypha, and 2 Maccabees 12 is viewed as upholding the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory. What happens in this chapter is that some Jewish soldiers who have died in the Maccabean wars are found to have symbols of idolatry on their bodies – so a sacrifice is made on their behalf, to take their guilt away. There is no record of whether God accepts the sacrifice, and it has been pointed out that, since Catholic theologians view idolatry as a mortal sin, the soldiers would not be in Purgatory if they died unrepentant anyway – but there seems to be a view that they were in Purgatory, and that the sacrifice that was made on their behalf meant that they then went to Heaven.
First Century Jews and Christians would both be surprised by your post. All seven books were considered ‘sacred’ by Jews and Christians until about 100 AD.
All of the 70+ books of the Old Testament are in the Septuagint (meaning 70).
The Septuagint was considered the “Canonical” books among all Jews until the development of the Tanakh after 100AD.
For example: All of the books of the Septuagint are found among the Dead Sea Scrolls – except the book of Esther. The “Essenses” were a Jewish sect likely destroyed in 70AD.
All of the books of the FULL Christian Bible were among those found in Church libraries prior to the development of the canon in the 4th Century. The canonical books were chosen by determining which books were among the most popular. Variations continued to exist after the canon was ‘finalized.’
An AI query will tell you scholars believe the deuterocanonical books were excluded in a process taking 400 years, but that’s just a revisionist interpretation.
Canonization of the Bible’s books is a fascinating, complex, and very interesting history, and I strongly suggest you look into it if you’re interested.
Islam and Christianity, in their pure form, do have philosophical fundamentals in common.
In metaphysics a Platonic supernaturalism, this visible and inferior world is the creation of an invisible and superior supernatural realm that can be believed in only on the basis of faith.
In epistemology, the claim that faith is superior to reason. If reason contradicts the claims of faith, follow the claims of faith, not the conclusions of reason.
In ethics, the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice, the claim that man’s highest virtue and duty is to submit and sacrifice himself to a higher, divine, supernatural, Almighty Creator. Self-ownership is out, you are the property of an Almighty Creator, therefore obey his representatives on earth, the priesthood.
In politics, theocracy.
Trump has tried to stop the visa flow to quite a number of Muslim countries. Has he been successful or is this invasion still ongoing?
As with the constitution, so with Christianity. Neither were intended to be a suicide pact.
Self-preservation or self-sacrifice? Altruism or rational self-interest?
Dying on a cross for others or the personal and individual pursuit of happiness?
Do we sacrifice America for others or do we make it an exclusive, discriminating club, for individualists who believe in individualism and individual rights?
“From her start, America was torn by the clash of her political system with the altruist morality….
America’s inner contradiction was the altruist-collectivist ethics. Altruism is incompatible with freedom, with capitalism and with individual rights. One cannot combine the pursuit of happiness with the moral status of a sacrificial animal….
Today, the conflict has reached its ultimate climax; the choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequences of freedom, justice, progress and man’s happiness on earth—or the primordial morality of altruism, with its consequences of slavery, brute force, stagnant terror and sacrificial furnaces.” – Ayn Rand
Americans have “big hearts” one often hears. How about hearing how stupid Americans are when it comes to self=preservation.
The hierarchy no longer need the $ from the folks in the pews. They get billions from the U.S. government.
We could afford to be when we were wealthy. We are seriously in debt. We borrow the funds we donate now. Toxic empathy.
Do not donate to Catholic Charities! I know many Catholics who refuse to donate.
NGO’s; The scourge of America and the Churches. The number 666 comes to mind. Chrislam doesn’t work.
As others have alluded … Catholic Charities has been an unChristian socialist NGO for decades.
And they’re not the only ones.
There are Illegal Invasion NGOs operating under the guise of being Lutherans, Southern Baptists, and Presbyterians – that I’ve run into. I’m sure there are many others.
Many of these are pro-Islam.
Hating Jesus – and hence hating America – and hence hating Whitey
… has consequences.
Look on the bright side …
When the Jihadis start killing Westerners …
… because we Christians have absolutely no power to stop these NGOs …
… Jews and Atheists (like THX) can blame Christians …
It’s really kinda clever in a sick and twisted way.
