the funding of terrorism: Al-Ihsan designated by American Executive Order 13224.

Islamic Charity and terrorism:
The respected Arabic daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat, published in London, quotes a member of the Saudi security forces revealing that activists in radical Islamic organizations in Saudi Arabia and other countries transfer funds donated for charitable causes to finance activities of radical Islamic terrorist groups. This pattern of action is also employed by the Hamas movement in the Palestinian Authority administered territories and by other terrorist organizations that have their roots in radical Islam, as part of the Islamic concept of conducting "a holy war through financial means" (Al-Jihad bil-Mal).
The
Union of Good: an umbrella organization comprised of more than 50 Islamic charitable funds and foundations worldwide. It in fact channels "charity" money and provides other items for Hamas-affiliated institutions in the Palestinian Authority-administered territories, contributing to sustaining the support-system infrastructure of Palestinian terrorism through the so-called financial jihad.

The file also contained reports of funds for the Society and Hamas coming from various external sources, including Interpal in Britain and the Islamic Movement in Israel.
