The intrepid Sharyl Attkisson has just published an excellent account of the role of Islamic charities in funding Jihadist terrorism, a subject obviously of vital importance to us here at SFW.

Given the fact that HAMAS directed aid, funds and materials to rockets and tunnels in the past, this type of activity needs to be closely scrutinized to say the least… http://www.fmo.org.uk/events/2014/8/13/islamic-reliefs-charity-gaza-gala-dinner-live-update-from-the-ground-in-gaza
How HAMAS Gets Money
Smuggling of money by traders is a relatively simple example for the tactics the Hamas leadership has developed to funnel money to the organization in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel, as Israeli banks have refused to allow money transactions to and from Gaza fearing it will be used for funding terrorism.These tactics have […]
Are Politics Stalling the War on Terrorism Financing?
We would maintain that the active denial of the true nature of Shariah and Shariah-compliant finance has meant that the war on terrorism financing has never been properly waged to begin with, but nevertheless, the article below from the Journal of International Security Affairs is well worth a look. … it is obvious that the war […]

Recently, Lancet published a correspondence, “An Open Letter for the People of Gaza,” a highly partisan, demonstrably inaccurate and defamatory representation of the violence now taking place between the Israel Defense Forces and the terrorist group Hamas (1).

HSBC seems to be turning over a new leaf…let’s hope they keep it up… HSBC bank is to follow its competitors Barclays in closing the bank accounts of the Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT), a Muslim-run charity which has previously been accused, though cleared, of having links to terrorism. The non-profit, which describes itself as an […]

Based on the order, the organization can no longer raise money or distribute money in Israel or anywhere in Judea and Samaria. IRW, said Yaalon, is a chief fundraising front for Hamas. Posing as a “charity,” the organization claims to […]
Evidently, as long as you can seize power by hook or by crook, it doesn’t matter that you’re an officially designated foreign terrorist organization by the United States, you can take part in the largess known as foreign aid… HAMAS is an officially designated foreign terrorist organization and as such it is illegal for US […]
In a major decision that will affect the high-profile Arab Bank terrorism finance case in the US and the future of terrorism financing cases, the US government has told the US Supreme Court that it supports the case going to trial, but potentially undermined the case’s strength (emphasis added). The decision late Tuesday came in the […]

An Ontario Superior Court of Justice awarded $7-million worth of Iranian state assets in Canada to victims of terrorism.

World Tribune has an interesting report on HAMAS’ continuing budgetary problems. In this case, two recent major supporters of HAMAS, Turkey and Qatar, appear to be pulling back on their financial support… The Hamas regime has been hampered by the failure of Qatar and Turkey to relay massive aid to the Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources […]
HAMAS under a budget crunch
Maybe if they devoted fewer resources to rockets and suicide vests their fiscal situation would be better? Of course, that would also be impossible, since the HAMAS charter mandates the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state ruled by Shariah law. Note from the article linked below that much of HAMAS’ money woes stem from […]

Despite pressure tactics, threats and even a $15,000 cash bribe from the Council on American-Islamic Relations to shut down a recent counter-terrorism training program for Virginia law enforcement, the training took place as scheduled, albeit with extra security. Washington-based CAIR, an Islamic lobbying group shunned by the FBI due to its ties to terrorist groups, […]

One of the most misunderstood aspects of terrorism financing is Shia Iran’s support for Sunni Jihadist organizations. Some naive observers still insist that Iran would never support Sunni organizations and that Sunni organizations would never ally with Iran. The reality is quite to the contrary.
