A report from the ACLU shows how U.S. terrorism finance laws hurt legitimate charities helping Muslims in need. Muslim Americans are intimidated from donating, which restricts their ability to freely practice their faith: one of the five pillars of Islam is Zakat, the practice of charitable giving that is a religious obligation.

  • Since when is Hamas a charity?

  • Its about your rights as a human being to practice what ever your faith is; dont you get it, it could be your faith next that gets targeted, so we have to be careful. If you have undeniable proof, then bust them, but the problem is, they accuse before they have the proof in many cases regarding muslim charities.

  • The aclu is on the wrong side of everything. They are a hate group that attack only the christian religion.

  • It's not that clear cut, EncompassedRunner. There have been legitimate Muslim Charities that have been unfairly forcibly closed down. This is a tactic to instill fear within the Muslim American population, in my opinion.

  • The US government didn't just "accuse" Muslim charities of funding terrorism, they proved it. You can go on Muslim websites & see please of giving to terrorism support veiled as charity. ACLU is on the wrong side of this one. Legitimate charities have nothing to fear.
