So as I have already told you "people giving money to charity organizations, which then supposedly turned around and gave that same money to terrorists, is not pertinent to the thread , it is of course pertinent to the usual stupid distraction which you inject to avoid facing reality
Now why don't you come down from the clouds and stop making a fool of yourself.Heck man I'm embarrassed for you

"...two counts of providing material support to terrorists"
The three were accused of being part of a North American support cell that provided supplies, money and recruits to groups of Islamic extremists. The defense contended they were trying to help persecuted Muslims in war zones with relief and humanitarian aid.
"The fingerprints on the application, combined with the claim that Padilla's purpose was humanitarian when various Muslim charities are accused of being mere fronts for terrorism, adds up to a difficult defense," Cohen said.
How can you say it isn't pertinent, when it was one of the charges brought against him, and something he was convicted of?
