Islamic charity with terror connections helping refugees resettle in America
When I first saw the news from Kentucky, here, in February my ears perked up. I have been following the refugee issue for eight years now and until February I had never heard of any Islamic charity participating in refugee resettlement here in America. As regular readers know, of the so-called nine ‘charities’ working with refugees, five are Christian groups, one is Jewish and three are secular.
Now we learn from a report at the Center for Security Policy by that in fact there are at least three locations in the US where a charity with questionable ties to terrorism elsewhere in the world is donating some of its vast wealth to Muslim refugees here in the US.
See this important report on Islamic Relief USA!
The largest U.S. Muslim Charity, which has been linked to terrorism finance, is now playing a role in helping to settle refugees from terror torn Syria.
Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) is an affiliate of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), the largest international Islamic charity in the world, with a $240 million operating budget, nearly 300 employees, chapters in more than 12 countries with their own multi-billion dollar budgets, and operations in over 30 countries, all based in Birmingham, England.
IRUSA specializes in refugee assistance and has a history of working with the United Nations and specifically the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the aid agency for Palestinian refugees.
The IRUSA website specifies in detail its role in assisting incoming refugees saying:
“IRUSA assists refugees in starting their new life in the United States. Volunteers are trained to welcome refugee families to their new communities, help them access local services, and show them around their new communities. Volunteers also can help with resume building and job searches. In some instances, refugees may receive rent assistance so they have a place to stay while looking for employment.”
The charity has also been pushing for western countries to take in more Syrian refugees. I guess they know all about the Hijra!
