A flag rally was carried out in August 2009 (Rawalpindi) in which American state department paid 36000 dollars for that to sunni ittehad council according to a website called USAspending.gov. I will post the details later, this is the level of interference of Americans in our affairs and so are the relations of our politicians, military men and religious leaders with USA.

US aid to Sunni Ittehad Council backfiredBy Huma Imtiaz
Published: January 12, 2012
**The United States gave money to the Sunni Ittehad Council to organise anti-Taliban rallies in 2009; however, the council later led demonstrations in support of Mumtaz Qadri, the self-confessed killer of former Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer, in an apparent boomerang of US policy to support religious moderation in Pakistan.
**
US government website Usaspending.gov shows that the Sunni Ittehad Council received $36,607 from Washington in 2009 under the State Department’s Public Diplomacy Programmes for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The purpose of the grant was to help the Sunni Ittehad Council organise a National Flag March on August 14, 2009. The rally, held on August 14, is believed to have been a rally by the religious organisation to protest against the Taliban.
But it seems as though the religious organisation switched course after the killing of Salmaan Taseer as it held mass rallies in 2011 to protest against the arrest of Mumtaz Qadri. Last week, religious organisations even announced an Rs100 million reward for Mumtaz Qadri’s gun.
However, following the reports, the US State Department has said that the US government no longer provides support to the group in any capacity.
**Laura D Lucas, a spokesperson for the State Department told The Express Tribune, “This particular grant supported a successful rally in 2009 at which Pakistanis spoke out against the Taliban, violent extremism, and suicide bombings. This grant is consistent with our continuing efforts, in Pakistan and around the world, to amplify local voices on issues of common concern, such as counter-terrorism.”
**
**The State Department was approached by the Sunni Ittehad Council with a request for funding for the rally, said an official speaking toThe Express Tribune, requesting anonymity.
**
**The Sunni Ittehad Council was originally an umbrella group, consisting of several organisations coming together as a bulwark against terrorism and a voice against suicide bombings, said the State Department spokesperson. She added that the group’s leadership and direction have changed since the grant was given by the State Department in 2009, adding that the US government no longer provides support to the group and that according to their understanding, a number of its Pakistani partners have also severed ties with the group.
**
In response to a question on whether the US was allowed to fund religious groups, the State Department spokesperson said that the US government is allowed to give grants to religious groups for non-religious activities, adding that the US Embassy in Islamabad closely monitored the grant.
“The United States continues to recognise the many sacrifices that the Pakistani people and security forces have made in the war against violent extremists, and we remain committed to working together on our shared goals of a stable, secure and prosperous Pakistan in a stable, secure, and prosperous region,” the spokesperson added.
Two leading members of the council, who have been with the group from the beginning of its existence, denied receiving any American funds. The apparent discrepancy could be explained by lack of transparency within the organisation, The Associated Press reported.
“This propaganda is being unleashed against us because we are strongly opposed to Western democracy and American policies in the region and in the world,” said Sahibzada Fazal Karim, the head of the council, before reiterating the group’s support for Qadri.
“We are against extremism, but we support Qadri because he did a right thing,” he said.

oh cool, the Disco Molvis are paid for by the US, so are TTP

Re: American state dept paid Sunni ittehad council
The Americans should really give up this meddling in others affairs... have they not figured out how much it backfires on them?
Or perhaps they thrive off war afterall.
Look at Vietnam.
El Salvador.
East Africa.
Afghanistan in the 80's
Iran and Iraq war.
The so called War on Terror.
The pay thier own proxies in each case to try and solve a regional issue which is sometimes resolved and sometimes not... but even when the issue of the day is solved they end up with a situation that is even more damaging and thus more reason to throw in a arms and go gung ho.
Whats most alarming is how this Long Gold Train is somehow allowed to go on... I mean you would have thought someone in the world would catch on and work the system too...
Damn the Yanks for the monopoly in this market... becuase folks we have potential here for global terror indeed.
Re: American state dept paid Sunni ittehad council
That is pretty old news. 500 is not much considering the fact that you use some in exercises, but the biggest factor is that missiles have an expiration date unlike regular ammunition.
