tried putting this on the newslinks topic forum, but my permission to add new topics seems to be revoked - admin please move as appropriatefull article here According to its own accounts, Muslim Aid paid £325,000 to the Islamic University of Gaza, where leading Hamas figures teach, and £13,998 to the al-Ihsan Charitable Society, designated by the US government as a "sponsor of terrorism" and a front for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group. Security sources also claim that Muslim Aid has helped channel a further £210,600 to six other organisations in the Gaza Strip since July 2009, all of which they say are also linked to Hamas. Despite repeated approaches for comment over more than a week, Muslim Aid has refused to deny these claims. In a statement, the Charity Commission said: "We take very seriously allegations of links between charities and terrorist activity, and consider funding of terrorist organisations to be a 'zero tolerance' issue. The Commission has opened an investigation into Muslim Aid in light of these allegations and is working with the charity to address the issues raised." Muslim Aid is banned from the West Bank by the Israeli government, which says it is a member of the Union of Good, an alliance of charities that raise money for Hamas. Hamas is banned throughout the EU as a designated terrorist organisation. In a video address to Muslim Aid's 25th anniversary dinner last month, Mr Brown praised the charity's "valuable work". |
