Are you serious? The man and his wife sound like they're cleaner than most members of Congress.

The funding is definitely suspicious though. CarnegieCorp? Rockefeller Fund? The Dutch Government???

I did have to look up the MGD3 Fund. Here's what found on the homepage.

Quote:
‘It’s unacceptable that people are discriminated and subordinated because of their gender.’ Bert Koenders, Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation



‘Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women’, the third Millennium Development Goal is a priority of the Dutch government. More action is needed to truly create a society where men and women are equal and enjoy the same rights and opportunities. Women struggle for equal rights, economic justice and a safe environment. Often with limited financial means but with a strong commitment and interest. For themselves, their families and their communities. Worldwide there is a fight against poverty, but special attention needs to be given to violence and discrimination against women.



Concrete action is called for to achieve equality between women and men. As a result Dutch NGO’s, companies and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have decided to put their back into the fund: MDG3 Fund: Investing in Equality. Each provides a unique contribution to the realization of Millennium Development Goal 3.
This must be some insidious plot to enact Sharia Law through...um...

What was your point again?
