The Middle East Forum cordially invites you to a webinar:
More Trouble for Islamic Relief
with Sam Westrop
Islamic Relief, the largest Islamist charity in the world, has a major presence in the United States and Europe. But charity is not it’s only mission. The Muslim Brotherhood-founded organization is banned in Israel and the United Arab Emirates due its ties to terrorism; Bangladesh has blocked it from working with Rohingya refugees for similar reasons. When, last month, a British newspaper uncovered virulently anti-Semitic social media posts and glorification of terrorism by an IR leader, it came as no surprise. Can this serve as a wake-up call for other states to follow Israel and the UAE’s lead?
