The Wall Street Journal now has an article published entitled: “Muslim Brotherhood Looks West in Bid to Revive Egyptian Economy.” The article requires a subscription to the Journal, so not everyone who clicks on the link below will be able to read it. But suffice it to say that the West is engaging the Muslim [...]
According to an article on the Muslim Brotherhood’s own web site, the use of zakat as a means to redistribute wealth will be a prominent feature of the new government’s taxation and welfare policies. What the article is careful to avoid, however, is the fact that zakat is also used to fund Jihad, referred to [...]

The Guardian in the UK has come out with an article (“Counterterrorism laws taking their toll on humanitarian action”) critical of US counterterrorism efforts that are designed to prevent the funneling of money to Jihadist terrorist groups, especially in Gaza and Somalia, two hotbeds of Jihadist terrorist activity. When ever we see misguided and ignorant [...]

From the “what the heck were they thinking?” category comes the news that the New York-based Global Finance Magazine has bestowed an honor on the Islamic Republic of Sudan’s Al Salam Bank.

The State Department’s new “2010″ report on global terrorism revealed that “Sudanese officials continued to view Hamas members as representatives of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas members conducted fundraising in Sudan. Sudan hosts “centers for raising funds and Islamic Social Unions (Marakiz li-Jam’ al-Tabarru’at wa-Ittihadat Ijtima’iyyah Islamiyya)” and “Pro-HAMAS financial activity in Africa is centred in Sudan through the [...]
Grover Norquist’s Relationships Should Give People Pause

Congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia has done America a great service in pointing out for the official congressional record the troubling ties of political operative Grover Norquist. Norquist’s financial ties to convicted Jihadist terror financiers are both shocking and suggestive that he should have no place in the political process in America… Wolf questioned Norquist’s [...]
Earlier this month, SFW brought to its readers a report on the possible motives of the Holder Justice Department not to prosecute CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) for its role in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing scheme: http://www.shariahfinancewatch.org/blog/2011/07/07/report-attorney-general-eric-holder-protected-hamas-linked-council-on-american-islamic-relations-for-political-reasons/ Over at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government site, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, has an article about [...]
In a case that is sure to anger many Americans, Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced Friday that it has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to respond to its request for public records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (Judicial Watch v.

For everyone who’s ever used a face cream, anti-wrinkle treatment, “bath bomb” or body “butter” — did you ever think that while performing your daily beautification rituals, you might actually be supporting Hamas and its sympathizers? Well, if you use a brand of high-end spa products by a company called LUSH, you are. Read more at [...]
Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., asked the IRS Monday to investigate whether the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has illegally received or solicited funds from foreign governments. The letter, sent to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, was written in response to news that CAIR has lost its IRS tax exempt status for failing to properly file annual tax [...]
From time to time, we here at SFW have been critical of The Economist. In the past The Economist has run what amount to advertorials for Shariah-Compliant Finance and even their more balanced articles have ignored the real concerns surrounding Shariah Finance. Then there was the time that The Economist lashed out at those Americans [...]
The website of a federal German court has reported the details of a proposed settlement involving the German International Humanitarian Relief Organization (IHH) which had been banned for financing Hamas. http://globalmbreport.org/?p=4506
House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Peter King (R-NY) confirmed elements of Patrick Poole’s work earlier this month at Pajamas Media on the Department of Justice scuttling terror finance prosecutions against prominent Islamic leaders, including CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad, for political reasons. King fired off a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder demanding answers why the DOJ [...]
Steve Emerson’s excellent Investigative Project on Terrorism has just published a report detailing former CAIR Chariman Omar Ahmad’s activities with the Holy Land Foundation and that charity’s fundraising efforts on behalf of the Jihadist terrorist organization HAMAS. SFW readers should take a close look: http://www.investigativeproject.org/2790/the-case-against-omar-ahmad
This is a must-read folks. In a just world, Holder would be under investigation for this… …a number of leaders of Islamic organizations (all of whom publicly opposed the King hearings on Muslim radicalization) were about to be indicted on terror finance support charges by the U.S. attorney’s office in Dallas, which had been investigating [...]

CAIR’s involvement with Islamic charities tied to terrorism were recently detailed in an excellent letter written by the intrepid Alyssa Lappen to the Anti-Defamation League objecting to the ADL’s recent misguided and unjustified attacks on attorney David Yerushalmi (one of SFW’s heroes) and efforts in the US to prevent the infiltration of Shariah law into [...]

The article below from The Telegraph in Great Britain quotes a British Foreign Office director as describing Al Qaeda as a “money making machine,” due to Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb’s practice of ransoming hostages for money. Evidently, Italy, Spain, Austria and Switzerland have all paid such ransoms to the Jihadist terrorist organization. This [...]
The latest via Money Jihad… “funding for the FIOE is derived largely from Gulf sources, including some of the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates. The FIOE has strong ties to Hamas and Hamas fund-raising organizations, and some FIOE member organizations show evidence of links with Al-Qaida. http://moneyjihad.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/focus-on-fioe-funding/
Our federal government has been allowing U.S. taxpayers to take a tax deduction for donations to Viva Palestina, a group that aids the terrorist group HAMAS. Several months ago, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) wrote the State Department, the Department of Justice, and the IRS, pointing out that Viva Palestina funds terrorism and is soliciting donations [...]
Hat tip to Jihad Watch… The former director of a Missouri Islamic charity admitted in federal court Friday that he sent more than $1 million to Iraq in violation of U.S. sanctions. Mubarak Hamed, 53, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy and a tax violation for misusing the charity’s tax exempt status and lying to the [...]

On December 17, 2009 · In Hamas, Islamic charities, Jihad, Qaradawi, Shariah Boards, Shariah Councils, Terror Funding, Zakat
Two of the chief concerns surrounding Shariah Compliant Finance are the issues of zakat and purification in which proceeds are donated to Muslim charities selected by Shariah Advisory Boards. With horrible people like Mufti Taqi Usmani (the “grand-daddy” of modern Islamic finance) and Sheikh Yussef al Qaradawi sitting on such boards, it is not hard [...]
President Obama’s pledge to ease up on zakat payments, which have often been funneled to terrorism, appears to be manifesting itself in Leftist court rulings which will erode America’s ability to combat the flow of money to Jihadist terrorist organizations. A recent court ruling that disallowed the freezing of an Islamic charity’s assets could signal [...]

Ever so often it’s useful to remind ourselves of the fact that Shariah isn’t just some abstract, remote system isolated to a few Middle Eastern nations. It’s a global threat. We’ve recently seen numerous reports of Shariah courts operating in Britain. We’ve recently witnessed a Jihadi organization hold a conference in Chicago to support the [...]
