| When a so-called "Charity" also serves as a source for funding terrorists, it loses the status of being a "Legitimate" charity-- It`s the same thing, when Muslims tranports terrorists and their weapons inside of Ambulances, bearing UN, IRC, or Star & Crescent markings- Islamic Charities Draw More Scrutiny by Glenn R. Simpson Wall Street Journal February 23, 2008 Counterterrorism officials in the U.S. and the Middle East, who in recent years have shut down several Islamic charities accused of financing terrorist organizations, now are pursuing what they describe as a second constellation of such groups. Key figures who avoided the initial legal dragnet in 2001 and 2002 have continued to raise funds that help Islamic militants in the Palestinian territories, Iraq and other conflict areas, counterterrorism officials in Washington and the Middle East said in recent interviews. The officials said Islamic fund-raisers have taken donor files and moved from one group to another a step ahead of the authorities, officials said. Islamic charities became a major focus after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, when U.S. officials concluded the charities played a large role in sustaining the infrastructure of radical Islamic groups. Using a set of new laws, the U.S. Treasury froze the assets of numerous groups in the U.S. and overseas. |
