LANSING — An evangelical Christian non-profit group operated by the family of republican U.S. Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land lists Islam, Judaism and Buddhism as “obstacles” to its mission in a promotional video. 

Land’s campaign spokesperson told the Huffington Post, which broke the story last week, that Land “has no role” in World Mission, the non-profit in question. But according to IRS documents, Land’s husband signs on the group’s tax returns. World Mission was also located at the same address as Land’s former campaign office when she was secretary of state.  

World Mission is listed as one of the charities supported by Land’s family’s real estate company, Land & Co., where the candidate worked for 20 years.

The Michigan Democratic Party’s Muslim Democratic Caucus condemned Land and her family’s charity for “promoting intolerance.”

“It is extremely offensive that Terri Lynn Land would see the Muslim community as inferior and an obstacle to be overcome,” said the Michigan Muslim Democratic Caucus Chair Dr. Shahid Tahir. 

“How does she expect to represent Michigan’s diverse communities in Washington when she and her family are getting tax breaks to promote intolerance around the world?” Tahir asked. “Ms. Land’s silence about her personal contributions and tax breaks to this divisive charity are unacceptable and wrong. We believe that Michiganders deserve to hear an explanation.”
