Terror-Free Oil Initiative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Terror-Free Oil Initiative is a group based in Coral Springs, Florida, dedicated to encouraging Americans to buy only gasoline that originated in countries that do not export or finance terrorism[1] or are otherwise unfriendly towards the United States. [2]
It educates the public by promoting those companies that acquire their crude oil supply from nations outside the Middle East and by exposing those companies that do not.[3]
TFOI is also looking into creating a healthy debate concerning alternate methods of fuel production and consumption.[3]
Terror-Free Oil opened the first "terror free" gas station in Omaha, Nebraska, in January 2007.[1][3]
Criticism of Terror-Free Oil has included accusations of Islamophobia.[4]
TFO spokesman Joe Kaufman is also founder of a group called Americans Against Hate, a conservative civil rights organization and terrorism watchdog group.[5] Kaufman is a prominent critic of the Islamic advocacy organization Council on American-Islamic Relations.
