Why do these groups continue to function?
"Report: 'Moderate' Islamic charities back terror: U.S. government allegedly allowing major groups to channel funds," from WorldNetDaily.com, with thanks to AM:
Muslim charity groups posing as "moderates" continue to support terrorist activities, according to a report by the government watchdog Judicial Watch.The report – titled " Muslim Front Organizations: Moderate Non-Profits or Elaborate Deceptions?" – says that while the U.S. government "finally has taken action against some of the groups identified by Judicial Watch, others are still functioning."
Judicial Watch contends the federal government is aware of the Islamic groups "and the danger they pose to our national security. The question is: Why are they still in operation?"
"This report carefully documents connections between so-called Muslim charities in the U.S. and the terrorists who murder innocents," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The federal government should no longer coddle terrorist front groups in the name of political correctness. Any organization that funds terror should be shut down immediately."
After the 9/11 attacks, Judicial Watch filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against non-profit organizations "reportedly being used as money laundering front organizations for radical Islamic terrorists."
The complaint said non-profit entities have been used to launder financial transactions and facilitate the transfer of funds supporting violent terrorist attacks by the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
Judicial Watch said that in 2004, the Senate Financial Committee requested an investigation of several of the organizations on the list of groups it provided. Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa said, "Many of these groups not only enjoy tax-exempt status, but their reputation as charities and foundations often allows them to escape scrutiny, making it easier to hide and move their funds to other groups who threaten our national security."
Nevertheless, many of the groups continue to function.
They are functioning because they have members who are engaged in the institutions that monitor them and are suppose to regulate them. The old Moderate Muslim Motto comes to mind: "Once you know a Muslim you will clearly see that they have no relationship to the murder and mayhem created in the name of Islam." Why would you ban a group who gathers money to help the poor, Palestinian children? Let them continue doing the work of Allah.
The default position of Muslim 'charity' groups worldwide is support of other groups dedicated to the destruction of non-Muslims. Muslim 'charity' groups must be criminalized.
"." Why would you ban a group who gathers money to help the poor, Palestinian children? "
...there is no proof of any money sent to Palestine actually improved the life of one child...
...It is known that the money received from the various "Islamic Charities" has been used to pay for terrorist training, weapons, and military equipment..some of the money is paid to families of Palestinian killed while attacking Israel or other perceived enemies (sometimes , other Muslims).....
Giving money to further jihad gets precedent over giving money to the poor in islam. At almost every muslim function you go to they are there, collecting money for the victims of nonmuslim on muslim violence. such as in kashmir, chechnya, iraq and others. the good moderate muslims give them money with no questions asked, after all who are they to question their motives, allah knows best.

Why do the fbi and other 'homeland security' groups regularly meet with muslim terror front groups IN SECRET, away from the American public?
Why does the fbi issue the "nothing to indicate [muslim] terrorism" statement every time a muslim commits mass murder jihad against American citizens? Is this not exactly what muslim terror front groups want? Is this not exactly what the saudis, in birthplace of islam, want?
Internal enemies before external enemies.
charity = fundraising = business
terrorism = fundraising = business
After all these years, why do we continue to misplace hope in 'moderate' anything.
The world is becoming more and more immoderate every day and will continue to do so until we knock the MoFoes on their collectivist asses.
I've come to the conclusion that the way to take away their will to jihad is this: prove the whole thing is not 'protected by Allah'.
Show that nothing held sacred is protected by Allah. Show that Allah can't keep any promises either.
Disprove the whole thing by force.
This is what must be done to end it. I'm not talking about genocide or nukes or anything of that sort. It's not necessary or desirable.
What I'm saying is outlandishly medieval. This: take them at their word and don't dismiss all the ritual and superstition as backward. Take it serious. Then go occupy the two holy sites. Destroy all who come to retake the two holy sites. Destroy the sites.
Destroy the system by destroying the fetish-focus physically and the rest of the system will follow. Destroying Islam as a belief system would be simple because of the serious vulnerability it has in assigning such importance to a geographic coordinate and a big cube-shaped rock. If this thing is gone a person can't be a Muslim no matter what they do. The stranglehold the rest of the system and beliefs will die quickly when the locus becomes an abcess.
"why do these groups continue to function?"
same reason for 90% of the real problem:
political correctness-the 100% complete, total, absolute opposite of common sense...
...and we continue to tolerate it.
