“As the White House and Congress debate cuts in federal spending, millions of dollars are being funneled overseas to help build many Islamic mosques and structures,” alleges TV star Chuck Norris.

He says a USAID official confirmed about $2.3 million was used on a Cairo mosque “to help lower the groundwater at the mosque area, replacing the old sewage collector, and providing a healthier environment for people living in the area.”

Norris is known for his TV and fim roles in which he often practices the martial arts. He was the star of the long-running “Walker, Texas Ranger.”

In addition, he says, more than $15 million was given by the U.S. and the Egyptian government to restore another 1,300-year-old mosque, a Roman tower, a Greek Orthodox church and other buildings.

In Cyprus, says Norris, $5 million in U.S. federal funds was granted to restore a mosque and a Greek Orthodox monastery.
