A report by the Middle East Forum (MEF) claims that one of the largest Islamic charities, indirectly financed by US and European taxpayers, is linked to terror groups around the world.
Islamic Relief (IR), one of the world’s largest Islamic charities, is entangled in terrorist connections, according to a report by the US think tank Middle East Forum (MEF) obtained by the Daily Caller.
The report claims that IR both accepts and provides money to and from terrorist organizations.
IR purportedly accepts donations from Charitable Society for Social Welfare, which was founded by Abdul Majeed Al-Zindani, whom MEF — a group that has tasked itself with seeking out examples of extreme Islamism in the west — claims is an Al-Qaeda terrorist and “Bin Laden loyalist.”
The IR non-profit provides financing to Gaza’s Hamas movement, considered by Israel to be a terrorist group and is also said to have close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood,
US and EU taxpayers have provided enormous amounts of financing to IR over the years, according to the MEF report. In the last 10 years, says MEF, taxpayers from western countries have provided at least $80 million to Islamic Relief.
“IRW [Islamic Relief West] claims to have been awarded US government grants […] by the US Department of Health and Human Services and USAID,” the report reads.
