Malaysia: Muslim cleric smuggles funds from Islamic charities to Hamas

[duluxe]

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.



“Gaza imam gets 1 year in jail for smuggling funds from Malaysia to Hamas,” by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, May 31, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Beersheba District Court on Sunday sentenced a Gaza imam to one year in jail in a plea bargain on a conviction for smuggling funds from Malaysian charities to Hamas.
The Southern District Attorney’s Office said it had encountered various evidentiary difficulties in the case, leading to the plea deal with reduced charges and a light sentence relative to the original charges.
In February, Imam Walid Div, 43, was indicted for a range of offenses related to helping finance Hamas, including traveling from Gaza to Egypt numerous times since 2013 en route to deliver religious sermons in Malaysia.
According to the indictment, while in Malaysia, Div was asked by Malaysian charities Aman Palestine and Mapim to smuggle funds into Gaza for Hamas.
In 2013, he smuggled $3,000 on behalf of the Malaysian chapter of Aman Palestine to Hamas.
Div also worked with many of the same charities to smuggle funds to Hamas from Malaysia on other occasions, including contact with the Aman Palestine chapter in Gaza.
Neither Div nor the Malaysian charities are officially associated with Hamas. But the charities include members of Hamas who use them as a front to raise terrorism funds for Gaza’s rulers….

I'm glad PAP keeps a tight watch on our charities here. In other countries, islamic charities are often fund raisers for jihadists. Like I said before, doing good deeds is defined differently by various religions.

How does the church of PAP define good deeds?

That will be like selling oil to Saudi.
