Black Power movement successors use Sharia law to fund bail
- Organization 'Believers Bail Out' claims to have freed 300 detainees using $2.4 million in funds framed as religious almsgiving.
- Group leaders openly align with convicted Black Power militants and advocate for the total abolition of the U.S. justice system.
- Uses a controversial interpretation of Sharia law to classify all Muslim arrestees as 'captives' eligible for bailout funds.
- Operates through an opaque network of fiscal sponsors to shield financial records from public scrutiny.
Brief Summary
A Chicago-based organization, Believers Bail Out, is merging radical Marxist prison-abolition rhetoric with religious mandates to empty jails. By framing bail payments as 'zakat'—a mandatory form of Islamic almsgiving—the group justifies paying for the release of Muslim detainees, including those facing immigration enforcement. The organization is deeply intertwined with veteran Black Power activists, some of whom have histories of violence against law enforcement, and seeks to dismantle the American legal system from within.
Why This Matters
This development highlights a growing trend where non-profit structures are being leveraged to import foreign legal concepts into the U.S. justice system. As these groups gain financial steam, they are directly challenging the ability of courts to enforce bail and immigration standards. If you are concerned about the influence of religious-political lobbying on public safety, this indicates a strategic move to bypass standard legal oversight by claiming religious immunity for political activism. Understanding how these funds move through 'fiscal sponsors' reveals how radical agendas are bankrolled under the guise of charitable, tax-exempt activity.
