Saudis to oversee charities |
2002-02-07 |
The secretary general of the International Muslim Youth Assembly, Mane al-Jahani, criticised the Western media campaign against Islamic charities, saying Al-Bir charity which appeared on a terror funding list had ceased to operate five years ago. "Enemies of Islamic work" are not happy with the charities' achievements and are plotting against them, he charged. Saudi charities have offices and representatives in around 55 countries and have in the past two decades contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Palestinians, Bosnians, Afghans and others. In fact, everywhere they donate turns into a crisis area, just chock full of sectarian and internecine strife. Wotta coincidence. |
