Under the Amazon Smiles program, Amazon donates 0.5% of transactions to designated charities. Two of the charities listed in the Amazon Smiles program were Muslim […]
posted by Christopher W. Holton We have long maintained that shariah-compliant finance is a modern day Trojan horse through which Jihadists seek to embed Shariah inside the West through non-violent economic means. Nowhere has this campaign been more successful in the West than the United Kingdom. Of course, the UK has already endured a civilization […]
posted by Christopher Holton Regular readers of SFW know that one of the chief concerns surrounding Shariah-compliant finance is the issue of Islamic charities funding jihad. We have posted dozens of articles on the subject over the years. This posting is but the latest example. A Briton named Umar Haque has been sentenced to prison […]
posted by Christopher W. Holton There are indications that the British government may have been involved in a ransom payment to the Iranian government for the release of a British-Iranian dual citizen being held in by Iran. Before we get too indignant about this alleged revelation, we should remember that it wasn’t terribly long ago […]
posted by Christopher W. Holton Charities in the United Kingdom are regulated by a governmental agency known as the Charity Commission. Over the years, the Charity Commission has found itself investigating multiple Islamic charities for a variety of irregularities, including supporting jihad. Now we have another example. The Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry […]
by Christopher Holton First it was the suppression of the 28 pages of the 9/11 report. Now, 16 years after 9/11, the West still has not learned its lesson. The British government reportedly is suppressing a report which shows that Jihad in the U.K. is largely funded by Saudi Arabia. Once again, the treacherous Saudis […]

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. This makes it all the more confounding that policymakers in the UK have decided not to shut down the Muslim Brotherhood’s operations there… Muslim […]
The Conservatives have been accused of an “astonishing” attack on free speech and “demonising” Muslims after officials banned an event at their conference in Manchester because it had links to two Islamic charities. Perhaps the Conservatives took this stance because of the long list of Islamic Charities that have been implicated in funding Jihad. We applaud […]
Four terror suspects linked to “Jihadi John” have been granted hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal aid to sue the UK Government. The men are all connected to a London terror cell whose most notorious member is Mohammed Emwazi, the real name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) executioner accused […]
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. As we have detailed scores of times over the years, here […]
Last year, the Charity Commission opened cases and inquiries into 379 religious charities, of which 153 were Christian and 85 were Muslim.

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.

The Islamic State is apparently using online bookseller Amazon in the UK to sell propaganda magazines aimed at recruiting Western jihadists.

The seller is listed as the Al Hayat Media Centre, the same name as the extremist group’s most […]
The British parliament has enacted a new law that penalizes insurance companies that make ransom payments to terrorists. Ransom payments are just one way that Jihadists have raised money in recent years. No country is immune as there are reports that such payments have been made from the U.S. as well… More details from Money […]
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.

Bank of England Shills for Shariah and Bitcoin
What do Bitcoin and Sharia have in common? The Bank of England.
