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

Islamic State jihadis in Syrian refugee camp raise thousands in online crowdfunding campaign

Jul 31, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

Will they be banned? Or is the ban only for foes of jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women and others?

“Isis suspects in Syrian camp raise thousands through online crowdfunding campaign,” by Richard Hall, Independent, July 25, 2019:

Women detained in a camp for Isis families in Syria have raised thousands of pounds through an online crowdfunding campaign.

The fundraising effort, named “Justice for Sisters”, was launched last month with the help of an intermediary in Germany, and appears to be aimed at soliciting donations from sympathisers in Europe….

The Justice for Sisters campaign is one of two known fundraising efforts for women in al-Hol, the other of which is a campaign explicitly aimed at raising funds to pay smugglers to help them escape.

Analysts have warned that deteriorating conditions at the camp could potentially lead to more women seeking to smuggle themselves out, and potentially more fundraising campaigns to help them.

The latest effort began last month, when videos and letters written in German, Arabic and English from women claiming to be detained in the camp were posted to an Isis-affiliated channel on the Telegram messaging service.

The women, at least some of whom appear to be European citizens, complained of poor conditions in the camp. One message, written in English, says that “life in the hands of the kuffar [non-believers] is not easy”.

“Most of all, we need water, electricity and financial help. Many children and women are malnourished and need fruit, vegetables and milk. Everything is there but many sisters cannot afford it,” read one message.

The group shared handwritten letters and photographs purporting to be from inside the camp. In one picture, four women hold signs made out of cardboard to demonstrate the authenticity of the campaign. One sign reads: “Free Prisoners. Your sisters in Al Hol”. On another is written: “Germany”.

Participants shared links to several PayPal MoneyPool accounts, which collectively raised more than €3,000 (£2,600). They may not be the only accounts associated with the campaign, however, and the total amount raised is likely to be higher.

In an apparent effort to avoid being taken down by PayPal, they used coded messages to disguise the aim of the fundraising. One was labelled “Honeymoon in Vienna”, while another claimed the funds were to be used for a boxing event….

A spokesperson from PayPal said they could not comment on specific cases, but added: “At PayPal, we take seriously our responsibility to ensure money moves around the world in compliance with laws and regulations. If we find evidence of any violation of our policies or national laws, we will take appropriate action.”

    Wow, all that money given by the fools who think they are doing a good deed will go to buy more weapons for the Jihadies, and more Suicide bomb vests to kill innocent people. Thanks for the contributions you dummies will now be listed as accessories to the murder of innocents. Crowd fund has a list of all your names.

    You have to wonder at how stupid some people are to fund these terrorists. Why does the fate of me and my family rest in their hands?

    If these ISIS ‘sisters’ receive justice, they will be in jail for years.

      I wouldn’t trust any Muslim country as their jailkeepers. Maybe Israel could find a particularly well-armed hot and unpleasant place in the Negev for them.

    That Sesame Street song I remember..

    “One of these things is not like the other.
    One of these things.. doesn’t belong
    Can you tell which thing is not like the other
    by the time i’ve finished this song?”

    islam and civilization.One of these thing doesn’t belong.

    islam doesn’t belong in the modern world.

    This money will go to fund Jihad, not improved nutrition.

      Who wouldn’t trust those honest faces and reach into their pockets to give them money?
