In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad charities. “Canadian Muslim group funnelled $300K to Hamas-linked charity: Documents,” by Brian Daly, QMI Agency, January 28, 2015:
MONTREAL — One of the country’s largest Muslim organizations gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Hamas-linked charity, and vocally supported an Egyptian Islamist group, QMI Agency has learned.
The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), based in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Ont., owns or operates at least 20 Islamic schools and 15 mosques in Ontario, Alberta and Quebec.
MAC’s website says the group is centred around “holistic educational and spiritual development” and “has no organizational link or affiliation with other organizations.”
However, QMI obtained an RCMP search warrant linking the group to IRFAN-Canada, a banned charity group and a listed terrorist organization also based in Mississauga.
The Mounties, citing Canada Revenue Agency disclosure, say: “The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) provided $296,514 between 2001 and 2010” to IRFAN-Canada.
The Conservative government declared IRFAN-Canada a terrorist group on April 29, 2014 — one day after the Mounties raided the charity.
The government said “between 2005 and 2009, IRFAN-Canada transferred approximately $14.6-million worth of resources to various organizations associated with Hamas.”
Hamas’s charter calls for the destruction of Israel.
IRFAN-Canada’s Ottawa-based lawyer, Yavar Hameed, had no comment on Tuesday. The group is fighting its terrorist designation in Federal Court.
The Mounties obtained their warrant as part of Project Sapphire, involving surveillance, wiretaps and undercover operatives in the Toronto and Montreal area. The warrant led to a raid on IRFAN’s Mississauga headquarters and a Montreal apartment on April 28, 2014. Investigators seized computer files, donation forms, and promotional videos that “demonize Israel.”
The RCMP wouldn’t say if its investigation is ongoing.
The Muslim Association of Canada bills itself as a “religious, educational, social, charitable and non-profit organization” whose “roots are deeply enshrined in the message of Prophet Mohammed.”
Obviously so. But QMI Agency follows that with a “however”:
However, the 113-page RCMP warrant shows the Mississauga group was under police surveillance for alleged terrorist financing as recently as last year. The warrant mentions an alleged transaction that took place at Al-Radwah Mosque, a MAC facility in north-end Montreal.
“(REDACTED) was observed on March 6, 2014, exiting the MAC location in Montreal carrying an 8 1/2 by 14-inch yellow envelope in his hand,” the warrant reads. “It is possible that (REDACTED) is still accepting donations on behalf of IRFAN from the MAC in Montreal.”
On the public stage, MAC has spoken out against violence, most recently in October when terrorists killed a soldier at Parliament Hill and another near Montreal.
At the time, MAC said it was “horrified by these acts of violence” and “stand(s) with all Canadians in condemning these attacks.”
The group has also condemned violence by Islamic State (ISIS), killing or driving out thousands in Iraq and Syria….

I’ve just seen on the news that palestinians (hamas supporters) have attacked a UN building in palestine over a discision the UN made regarding Israel’s demolition work.
So, the UN are getting a taste of what they supporting.. palestinian terrorism..

I forgot to add to my previous comment:
The radical lefty org Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research Society (CAERS) also has links with this verminous group. Alan Dutton is head of CAERS, and he was a YouTube user named Dieracist.. (I can’t remember his full username) who use to troll right-wingers on YouTube and denounce them as nazis on his hate fest website:

CAERS is supposed to be opposed to racism, fascism, nazism etc.. but they NEVER denounce muslims who use racism, fascism and nazism against the infidel; for fear of being called racists themselves.

Canadian Anti-racism Education and Research Society (CAERS)
We know what they’re educating. But what in the world are they researching?
Angemon says
Are those schools and mosques being searched as well? Time to check their syllabuses, IMO…

The worst damage done by this outfit isn’t funding mujahidin, it’s what they teach in the madrasas and preach in the mosques in Canada. Apparently it’s illegal to fund Jihad in Canada, which surprises me. While they’re at it, Canada should also illegalize madrasas and mosques.

It’s vital that subversion like this is revealed, but I can’t say I
am astounded in any way. Shit is as shit does.

OT – Here’s a forthright commentary, “Islam: to reform or not to reform”, containing powerful statements but unfortunately no real conclusion.
“The intellectual bankruptcy of an average Muslim has reached unprecedented levels …”

Islam cannot be reformed for one simple reason…When the time comes, no pious Mahoundian can adequately explain to Allah why they altered his religion.
Claiming you know better than Allah will get you a long drink of boiling water.
saturnine says
Reformers will reject the claim that they’re altering the religion. They’ll say they’re only interpreting it “properly”.
To do that, however, they’d have to discredit many hadith, a monumentally difficult proposition. The ineluctable fact that Muhammad’s example, laden with violence and intolerance, will always be there for a holier-than-thou Muslim to discover, and makes any reform a Sisyphean task.
After all, if you can’t trust Muhammad to interpret Allah’s commands properly, who can you trust?
