Bauer: Mosque money needs to stop

A conservative activist and former presidential candidate says it's an absolute outrage that in the height of a recession and huge government deficits, U.S. taxpayers will soon be footing the bill for rebuilding Islamic mosques in foreign countries.

According to The Associated Press, the Obama administration plans to spend nearly $6 million in American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites around the world, including mosques and minarets in 55 countries. The projects include $76,000 for a 16th century mosque in communist China, $67,000 for a mosque in Pakistan, and numerous others.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls using U.S. taxpayer dollars to restore Islamic and other cultural sites money well spent. But Gary Bauer, chairman of American Values, does not see it that way.
