Regular readers of SFW know that we have attempted to cover the activities of Islamic charities which have been found to have ties to terrorist organizations. We’ve built up an archive of such accounts in recent months.

This is especially worrisome with regard to Shariah-Compliant Finance because of the system of zakat, which requires Shariah-Compliant institutions to facilitate tithing to approved charitable organizations.

We need to make it clear that there is a great deal of evidence to suggest that ties between Islamic charities and terrorist organizations is actually widespread. That may seem like a strong statement, but when one considers the evidence, that is the conclusion one comes to.

Consider that the Treasury Department just recently designated the Saudi-based Union of Good as having ties to terror and British authorities have designated a charity in the UK a terrorist entity because it has ties to the Union of Good.

The Union of Good is an umbrella group of 53 charities. 53. By the way, it is headed by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the most prominent Sunni shariah scholar in the world.

So, when the Union of Good was designated a terrorist entity, 53 Islamic charities were caught in the web. This hardly seems isolated to us.

Especially when you consider this detailed report on 27 other Islamic charities that have been tied to terrorism:

call me racists, but I would not hire anyone who, I know, is Muslim....

Mosques - barracks, forts and armories.

Peace - when only one Muslim is still alive, having killed all the infidels, and the dissenting apostate backsliding Muslims who were formerly his confederates.

This is the Middle East, grown to encompass the entire world, in the Last Caliphate.

There can be only one.

Now there’s a headline that comes as a complete surprise (sarcasm).
