The recently released report by the British government on the Muslim Brotherhood indicates that, not only is the Muslim Brotherhood tied to terrorism, but so are Islamic charities in the UK.

UK Islamist Organization Sues Charity Commission
The United Kingdom’s Charity Commission has rightly sought to cut off funding through Islamic charities for the Islamist group CAGE.

SFW has long focused on the role of Islamic charities in funding Jihad. This is a chief concern surrounding Shariah-compliant finance because of the byproduct of Shariah finance in which funds are funneled to Islamic charities as zakat or to “purify” impurities in portfolios.

We don’t ordinarily link to articles that are on subscriber-only web sites, but in this case we feel compelled to make an exception.

More than half of the 300 people charged last year by the Metropolitan police counter terrorism unit committed a financial crime — many were sending money overseas to help fund terrorist groups such as Isis.

Linked below is an extensive explanation of the impermissibility of interest-based student loans for Muslims.

Here is a story that illustrates that Shariah-compliant financial institutions are far from immune from risk, as much of the propaganda surrounding the industry claims. It is certainly worth noting that two of the banks that were involved in the joint venture in question, Bank Saderat and Bank Melli, are two of the very largest Shariah-compliant […]
One side-effect of the British government’s embrace of Shariah-compliant Finance has been the marketing of Shariah-compliant products to non-Muslims. …this niche section of banking has seen an upsurge in popularity – and not just among Muslims.
