I put Islam ideology and Tides Foundation into google. post-gazette.com "The Tides Center, to which the Heinz foundation gave more than $4 million over a seven-year period, is primarily used to channel money to smaller charitable groups that do not otherwise qualify for foundation grants. The money, according to Heinz foundation spokesman Grant Oliphant, was all directed specifically to environmental charities based in Western Pennsylvania, none with radical ties...." It goes on to say that "The Tides Foundation, however, has given its own money to a variety of left-wing causes. Oliphant said the report [on Teresa Heinz Kerry] misrepresented how the Heinz foundations used their money... John Carlisle, who edited the Capital Research Center report, said he saw no evidence the Heinz endowments were funding any extremist groups, but said he believed the giving patterns of Heinz Kerry's foundations were nonetheless a likely issue in the coming election." If anyone has any evidence to post that the Heinz Foundation, which says that its contribution was all directed specifically to environmental charities based in Western Pennsylvania, none with radical ties, was "supporting Islamist ideology," I'd like to see it. Why in the world would Teresa or John Kerry want to support Islamic ideology? Maybe the Islamists have a deep interest in environmental charties in Western Pennsylvania?
