I wonder who's kids these are in the UK? Maybe one of the Royal Family's, but which one??

I noticed that possible connection in your post. I hadn't run across that tid-bit yet, and it's worth following up on. I'll give it a shot.

Thank you for your help! :)

The Pakistan govt blocked funds pertaining to the Al Rashid trust almost a month ago.

Really?! How do you know? Do you have a link? I'm curious to find out...

Pakistan blocked funds on September 26. (See Sept 26, NYTimes, and the Bush list of Muslim charities on an international hit list.) Two days later it was announced that the US had followed suit (see NPR for September 29 and story on charities and Al-Rashid). On October 4 Al-Rashid announced that it was going to contest the Administration's decision in a U.S. court of law. I'm sure that much of this information is available on HotBot or Google.

RightlySo: If you want a real scoop try and access the information that was obtained by the German and Austrian police in 1995 relevant to the Third World Relief organization that operated from Vienna. The TWR was run by a Sudanese with ties to Bin Ladin, and the two had been involved in running weapons from Afghanistan/Pakistan through Khartoum to Croatia (where Croatian intelligence had been bought off). From there the materiel was shipped to Muslim Bosnia to the Muwafaq Brigade which was financed by a number of Middle East nations, Iran and Saudi Arabia included (believe it or not). This was the most scandalous aspect of the war in Bosnia and involved the Muslim leaders of Bosnia-Herzogevina and numerous Balkan (and even Turkish) factotums. The scandal was discussed only one in US newspapers (in the NY Times in early 1996), but the TWR agency continued to operate in support of the Muslim crazies until Bin Ladin finally left Sudan in 1996. The FBI probably has the material that the Krauts uncovered, but the issue has been allowed to die. Unfortunately.

Excellent information. Thank you. I'll do some reading about Bosnia in 1996, and then follow up on the Al-Rasheed info.

Apparently, though, the web page I've referenced on Ummah.net is linked with others accepting money on behalf of the Taliban and Osama, not just Al-Rasheed.

This is an awesome job. I have been snooping around in my spare time, but all I came up with was the Muslim Yellow Pages. They (Muslims) own a ton of quickie marts in California. It's the only state that seemed to show up. Wouldn't it be easy to funnel cash through a quickie Muslim mart or ANY Muslim small business? That's what the Mafia did/does....uhh...so I've heard..;-)

Interesting! I read the cartoon. There is some interesting info about Islam there that I will attempt to confirm. Actually, it could be construed as a statement about all religions! :)
