I’m sorry, I didn’t get your question. The fact is that Moos do give a lot of their income to “charities” — zakat.

Although a nice story is not what I asked! For those who do not know read on;

Yes, I know of such; Qur'an (2:177)

Zakat (a fixed percentage) in spirit is in line with salat (prayer). 

Sadaqa (public display) normally used immediately following any transgression.

 

In fact, financially supporting jihadis is a recognized form of jihad — jihad al-mal; even the vast majority of militant verses in the Koran (e.g., 9:20, 9:41, 49:15, 61:10-11) prioritize the need to fund the jihad over merely fighting in it, as fighting with one's wealth often precedes fighting with one's self. Well-known Islamists — from international jihadi Osama bin Laden to authoritative cleric Sheikh Qaradawiare well aware of this and regularly exhort Muslims to fund the jihad via zakat. (meforum.org)

More revealing of the peculiarly Islamic nature of zakat is the fact that Muslims are actually forbidden from bestowing this "charity" onto non-Muslims (e.g., the vast majority of American infidels). "Charitable" Muslim organizations operating on American soil are therefore not the equivalent of, the Salvation Army, an organization whose "ministry extends to all, regardless of ages, sex, color, or creed." In Islam, creed is a major criterion for receiving "charity" — not to mention for receiving social equality. (meforum.org)

Most if not all Islamic charities" have, indeed, been funding the jihad!
