JERUSALEM – An Islamic group that was named by the Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in a scheme to raise money for Hamas and is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood is the official endorsing agency for the U.S. Armed Forces Muslim chaplain program.

The Islamic Society of North America, or ISNA, also runs regular events for the military’s Muslim chaplains.

Last week, WND reported the Muslim chaplain program was founded by a terror-supporting convict while the Army’s first Islamic chaplain, who is still serving, has been associated with a charity widely accused of serving as an al-Qaida front.

Now, ISNA’s involvement in the chaplain program is coming under closer scrutiny.

Since the Muslim chaplain program’s inception in 1993, ISNA has been the official endorsing agency of the new chaplains.

In 2005, ISNA initiated a yearly Muslim chaplain conference that includes leadership talks for chaplains in both the military and U.S. prison system.
