Seen here is the picture of the Hamas suicide bomber responsible for the "Sbarro Pizza" bombing in Jerusalem, Israel. (Last month we wrote about Malka Chana Roth, "Beyond the Pain..." There is a Link to the Malki Foundation available here)
On Tuesday the Bush Administration designated Al-Salah Society and its Director Ahmad Al-Kurd as one of the largest and best funded Hamas Charities and froze its assets in the United States.
According to the U.S. Dept. of Treasury, Hamas has used the Al-Salah Society as it has many other charitable fronts to finance its terrorist agenda. Al-Salah Society supported Hamas affiliated combatants, recruited and indoctrinated youth to support Hamas terrorism. It has also funded commercial stores, schools and purchased land for Hamas.
One of the most Senior Gaza based Hamas Leaders Ismail Abu Shanab openly identified Al-Salah Society as one of the three Islamic charities that forms Hamas "welfare arm" the Al-Salah Society has received substantial funding from Persian Gulf countries including hundreds of thousands of dollars from Kuwaiti donors.
The Tresuary Dept. action, alerts the world to the true nature of Al-Salah and cuts it off from the U.S. financial systems.
Once again, we see Islamic nations that are supposed to be our friends financing murder and terrorism against freedom and democracy in the United States and Israel.
In 2004 a federal grand jury in Dallas, TX returned a 42 count indictment against another Islamic Charity Front that was financially supporting Hamas, the "Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development" (HLF) was charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, money laundering and tax evasion. In that case, CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. (See, United States v. Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, et. al. Case No. CR-3:04-CR-240-G USDC, Dallas, TX)
CAIR Texas Chapter was founded by Ghassan Elashi who had also served as Chairman of the "Islamic Association for Palestine" and was co-founder of HLF. In 2005 Ghassan Elashi, was convicted of supporting terrorism by laundering money to Senior Hamas Leader Mousa Abu Marzook.
These Islamic Front Organizations are all inter-connected laundering money through businesses and charities to support Islamic Fascist Hamas.
