MUST READ!! From Washington Exaimner: Black Power Movement Successors Use Sharia Law To Fund Bail.

ChatGPT says its:
✅ True: Muslim religious donations are being used to pay bail/bonds for Muslim detainees.

✅ True: BBO says roughly $2.4 million / 300 people.

✅ True: It is connected ideologically and organizationally to the broader Black-led bail/abolition movement.

✅ True: The organization explicitly advocates abolition of jails, prisons and ICE detention. This distinction actually makes the story more interesting, not less: the significant issue is not really “Sharia courts.”

It's hat a religiously funded organization has merged Islamic charitable obligations with the American prison-abolition and immigration-abolition movements.
