Virginia state records show that Mena Investments, Reston Investments and Sterling Management Group Inc. gave a combined $3,000 to Gill. The Herndon, Va.-based entities are part of the so-called Safa group, a pro-jihad Islamist network which remains under active federal investigation for tax fraud, money laundering and terror financing. (Even Democrat lawmakers in past elections have had to return Safa’s terror-tainted gifts. But Gill, an alleged Republican, had no problem keeping his.)

Gill pretended as if he doesn't understand why he was surveilled by the [[FBI]], claiming victimhood. <ref>Kyle Shideler, [https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/3/frank-gaffney-faisal-gill-being-surveilled-becomes/ F.G.: Faisal Gill: When being surveilled becomes badge of honor], ''The Washington Times'', Feb 3, 2015.<blockquote><font size=1>
As the author of that Salon.com article, Mary Jacoby noted at the time:
"The ties among Alamoudi, the Muslim Brotherhood and Gill help explain why officials are concerned about whether Gill was adequately vetted. These relationships are difficult to understand without immersion in the indictments, court transcripts and case exhibits; the concerned officials said they fear that busy political operatives in the administration simply do not grasp the national-security issues at stake. "There’s an overall denial in the administration that the agenda being pushed by Norquist might be a problem," one official said. "It’s so absurd that a Grover Norquist person could even be close to something like this. That’s really what’s so insidious."....
Indeed, far from showing that the U.S. government engaged in surveilling Muslim who have absolutely nothing in common except their faith as Mr. Gill alleges, the reality is that the individuals have everything in common, most especially a series of overlapping associations and connections which has the Muslim Brotherhood as the pivot point. Yet it’s precisely the surveillance re-evaluation which is now being used as an excuse to rehabilitate Mr. Gill’s image as a noble victim of government surveillance overreach.</font></blockquote></ref>
