Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK opens inquiry into Muslim charity after volunteer poses with jihadis

Apr 4, 2014 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

Al-Fatiha“The regulator said last month that it was monitoring concerns about the Worcester-based charity, which provides aid to Syria and works in Burma, Kashmir and Palestine, after The Sun newspaper published an article on its front page, which it said showed Adeel Ali, a volunteer for the charity, posing with two masked gunmen.” You can see the photo here. Adeel Ali denies that he is the man in the photo, but it sure looks like him. And there are certainly numerous Islamic charities that have been discovered to have been funding jihad.

“Charity Commission opens statutory inquiry into Muslim aid charity,” by Beena Nadeem for Third Sector Online, April 4 (thanks to Twostellas):

The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry into the Muslim aid charity Al-Fatiha Global because of serious concerns about its financial management and governance.

The regulator said last month that it was monitoring concerns about the Worcester-based charity, which provides aid to Syria and works in Burma, Kashmir and Palestine, after The Sun newspaper published an article on its front page, which it said showed Adeel Ali, a volunteer for the charity, posing with two masked gunmen.

The charity said at the time that the story was a “scandalous farce“.

The regulator said yesterday that its inquiry would examine whether the charity was “effectively discharging its duties under charity law with particular regard to the proper accounting for the income and expenditure of the charity and management of the charity in accordance with its governing document and the law”.

The commission said it would also investigate regulatory issues related to reports “in the public domain alleging inappropriate links between the charity and individuals purportedly involved in supporting armed or other inappropriate activities in Syria”.

The statutory inquiry began on 21 March, although the commission opened a monitoring case into the governance and financial management of the charity in 2013.

Al-Fatiha Global describes itself as helping the “oppressed around the world” by delivering aid, building orphanages and irrigation, and assisting farmers with its own team of volunteers, which it says includes anyone from students to doctors.

The charity was contacted by Third Sector, but nobody had responded to messages asking for a comment before publication.

    “Al-Fatiha Global describes itself as helping the “oppressed around the world””

    They can very well be sending cash to islamic terrorist organizations and fooling naive kaffirs into funding them. The islamic definition of oppressed is manifold, and one of the definition is “deny others of their rights”. By that definition, the talibans in Afghanistan are oppressed because they’re being denied the right to impose shariah law on the whole country. By that definition the mullahs in Iran are being oppressed because they’re being denied the right to get their filthy paws on nuclear weapons. This kind of dual meaning propaganda is very dangerous.

    The UK Charity Commission has a poor track record.

    Muslim “charity” goes to MUSLIMS ONLY, as required by Islamic law. This is worth making better known.

    Western people need a list of contributors to such fake charities that actually buy weapons and knives for the sick beheaders who are captured on telephone cameras in Syria.

    SO WE CAN BOYCOTT THOSE WHO SUPPORT WARFARE AGAINST THE DISBELIEVERS.

    The issue of Islamic charities is real and serious, at the Langley Green Mosque in Crawley England, they raised over £140,000 from takeaways and Muslim taxi drivers to fund a jihadist to go to Syria, he hasn’t come back yet.
