ANOTHER ISLAMIC CHARITY FUNDING TERRORISM

Yet another Islamic “charity” secretly funding Hamas has had its assets frozen by the Treasury Department: Treasury moves against Al-Salah.

The Bush administration moved Tuesday to clamp down financially on a large charitable organization in Gaza for allegedly raising money and providing other support to Hamas, which the U.S. has branded as a terrorist group.

    The Treasury Department’s action is against the Al-Salah Society and its director, Ahmad al-Kurd. As a result, any bank accounts or other financial assets found in the United States belonging to them must be frozen. People in the United States also are forbidden from providing money or doing business with them.

    Treasury alleged that Al-Salah, located in the Palestinian territories of Gaza, supported Hamas-affiliated combatants and recruited young people for Hamas activities. The U.S. also said that Al-Salah financed stores, kindergartens and the purchase of land for Hamas.

And again, we see the Arab countries that are supposed to be our allies, not-very-secretly funding terrorism and murder.

    The society has received “substantial funding” from Persian Gulf countries, including “at least hundreds of thousands of dollars from Kuwaiti donors,” the department said.
