In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities.

Ban on three Hezbollah-affiliated clubs in Germany!
Since early this morning, the police have been taking action against three associations that are said to be affiliated with the Lebanese terrorist organization “Hezbollah” (translated: “Party of God”). According to BILD information, “search and seizure measures” are currently taking place in Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Schleswig-Holstein.
These are the associations “German Lebanese Family e.V.”, “Menschen für Menschen e.V.” and “Gib Frieden e.V.”. Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (71, CSU) now announces: These associations will be dissolved!
Reason: They are proxy organizations of the Hezbollah-affiliated association “Orphan Child Project Lebanon e.V.”, which was banned in 2014, later renamed “Colors for Orphans e.V.”. They have the same structures, leaders and address the same groups of people.
These associations also pretended to collect donations for supposedly charitable purposes in Lebanon and to arrange sponsorships for orphans, as the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced.
But in truth, the associations are concerned with something else: the acquisition of donations for Hezbollah.
The three banned associations are said to have collected donations and sponsored Hezbollah “martyr families”. The aim of the clubs was to promote Hezbollah’s fight against Israel, which goes against the idea of international understanding, the ministry said. The certainty that the bereaved would receive financial support in the event of their death increases the willingness of young Hezbollah supporters to take part in the fight against Israel.
Seehofer banned the German offshoot of Hezbollah in April 2020. In Germany, it had just under 1,050 Islamist supporters. At that time, too, Seehofer had the premises of mosque associations and Islamic centers in Berlin, Bremen, Münster and Dortmund searched early in the morning. The allegations: Supporting the international terror network by collecting donations, recruiting sympathizers and providing logistics.
Seehofer said: “Anyone who supports terror will not be safe in Germany. Regardless of the guise in which his supporters appear, they will not find a place of retreat in our country.”

This almost certainly happens to the money in Islamic charities, as giving money to the struggle against the infidels a form of jihad and will get you into heaven. Sometimes the money goes to a cause which is used for legitimate purposes, but this then released funds which are used for terror.
Infidel says
Did somebody wake up and pretend that the AfD has come to power?
mortimer says
The Germans may go that far if the jihadists continue to attack Germans.
Check Burry says
Hope so, ditto every place they infect

Germany: Police raid Islamic associations collecting money for charitable purposes and giving it to Hizballah
In Islam, zakat — the alms required of every Muslim — can and should be given to further the jihad. So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that there are so many jihad-linked charities.
……………………….
For a long time I thought that Jihadists were using Muslim charities to launder money. Then I evenually realized that it is *much worse* than this–that funding Jihad is indeed a core part of Zakat.
Glad to see Germany cracking down here.
john smith says
Agreed Gravenimage, that funding jihad is a core part of Zakat.
Off the subject now, but how do you and others feel about the amount of articles that JW is putting out at the moment?
I know we are getting more information, but personally I preferred it like use to be. It all seems to be moving a bit to fast for me, and I just don’t have time to absorb it all.
OTTER says
It seems that in essence, the distrust of Islam in the AfD may have seeped into mainstream parties for no other reason than commonsense and therefore, this kind of action has become more mainstream, even though they continue to revile AfD in political discourse.

ISLAMIC CHARITY GOES TO TERRORISM – Manual of Sharia Law Reliance of the Traveller, section h8.17 “The seventh category (of zakat-recipients) is those fighting for Allah…”
REPORT OF 9-11 Commission: “Al Qaeda and its friends took advantage of Islam’s strong calls for charitable giving, zakat. These financial facilitators also appeared to rely heavily on certain imams at mosques who were willing to divert zakat donations to al Qaeda’s cause.”
The most authoritative source for ZAKAT information is a book called “The Reliance of the Traveler, A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law.” That book has a whole section devoted to the rules of zakat, including “THE EIGHT CATEGORIES OF RECIPIENTS.” On page 272, section h8.17, one category is labeled:
– “THOSE FIGHTING FOR ALLAH”
– “The seventh category is those fighting for Allah, meaning people engaged in Islamic military operations for whom no salary has been allotted in the army roster (O: but who are volunteers for jihad without remuneration). They are given enough to suffice them for the operation, even if affluent; of weapons, mounts, clothing, and expenses (O: for the duration of the journey, round trip, and the time they spend there, even if prolonged. Though nothing has been mentioned here of the expense involved in supporting such people’s families during this period, it seems clear that they should also be given it).”
– The prominent fundamentalist Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, for example, gave a fatwa obliging Muslims to fund jihad out of money collected for charity (zakat). (Fatwa from April 11, 2002 in Islamonline.)

That does not mean the problems within Western European society are over yet, even though more attention is given to Jihad terror in Western Europe.
Take France, that does not allow (pro Palestinian) demonstrations at the moment, because of the large risk that the masses of “peaceful” demonstrators for Palestine move up against anything Jewish, like happened in 2014, where they organized a pogrom in the French Jewish neighbourhood of Sarcelles outside Paris. The MSM censures this of course, since Europe is the paradise of freedoms and democracy and marketing wise it does not sell to the world that paradise practically means the democratic freedom to hold pogroms against Jews.
And take for instance at this moment Belgium, where one soldier, that served many times in Afghanistan, is going rough against the establishment, and the whole army is chasing him, including army F-16’s flying very low over neighbourhoods, because he had enough of the terror dangers of Islam. The MSM censures this of course.
But also take the dissatisfaction that rules under the skin of a large parts of disenfranchised local Dutch youth, working in minimum paid “flex-contracts”, that have to wait on average some 15 years to start a family, because of shortages of social housing, the only houses they can afford with their flex pay. At the moment there is a shortage of some 350.000 houses for youth that like to start a family, and needless to say house prices for houses on sale are skyrocketing. In the meantime any person from the Muslim lands mainly, can enter Europe and ask for “asylum”, and will get a social house immediately in the Netherlands.
Needless to say that friends of the covert style ruling Dutch leader Mark Rutte, like members of the highest paid unemployed members of Dutch society, the Royals, and the illustrious righteous open democratic society mister Soros, that made some 83 million with deals with Dutch social housing estates it was written in a local newspaper, fill their pockets. The MSM will not write about this.

If you have ever read the koran then you know already the objectives of any money being transferred between muslims. Therefore it should not be the equivalent of rocket science even for the most left-leaning government occasional worker to see what’s happening and correct it.
