The illusion of Islamic charities helping Canada

Nazem Kadri Foundation linked to terrorist front Islamic Relief Worldwide

For a brief moment, we focus on someone other than the nominated candidate for the Conservatives in Parkdale-High Park, Adam Pham.

It seems never ending that Nazem Kadri, has to associate himself in some way in the media as the token Muslim on the team.  The flavour of the week when it comes to so called charity foundations.  Often Kadri funnels money to Islamic charity by holding golf tournaments in support of Islamic Relief [Worldwide's] Canada chapter. 

According to the Gatestone Institute, the parent charity IRW's accounts show that it has partnered with a number of organizations linked to terrorism and that some of charity's trustees are personally affiliated with extreme Islamist groups that have connections to terror.  The large number of links between Islamic Relief Worldwide and extremist terror groups suggests that buried beneath the cover of a charity lies a structured pro-terror group with an anti-Western agenda.  It was enough for HSBC to close bank accounts.

In 2006, the Israeli Ministry for Foreign Affairs designated IRW itself a terrorist front, and claimed that it was funding Hamas militants.  It isn't uncommon to spot our Prime Minister sporting their own halal brand of socks or supporting this terrorist front with his friend Mohammed Fakih, of Paramount Fine Foods fame.  Rarely do you hear the same outcry for those affected by domestic Islamic terror events that have plagued Canada since the mid 2010's.

In 2014, IRW Canada claimed in a Financial Post article that it had withdrawn funds for projects in the West Bank. It would not speak directly to the matter of the parent charity.  In a statement, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said it was not possible to respond to IRW's announcement "without an in-depth examination of [the audit's] findings, its scope or who it was carried out by". It said the Israeli government's decision to declare IRW illegal was "based on information that has been accumulated over years, that the fund is a central player in financing of Hamas... [and] on accumulated knowledge and experience in fighting terror and financing of terror organizations".

IRW Canada's political involvement
calls for revoking this charity's status

More disturbingly in 2017, the National Post was pressured to take down a comprehensive ten year review of IRW at the request of an Islamic linked special interest group.  The writer of the article was calling for The Daily Show's Trevor Noah to boycott the Islamic event because of controversial statements made by another invitee, of a Texas-based imam with extremist views.

It isn't clear who exactly requested this online change, or why the Postmedia organization would be so willing to comply.  There must have been a heated call to someone, or series of calls between a sleaze Islamic lawyer and one of his friends at another law firm.  Hope this individual has pictures and phone records of the harassment.  There's a definite white washing of an invited guest's repugnant views and links to terrorism, which would put IRW under further scrutiny of the Canada Revenue Agency.  Under a different government, their charity status could be further reviewed and find itself deregistered.

Use your constitutional rights to free speech in Canada, question our Prime Minister and his relations to an alleged ISI backed Islamist, get sued for $2.5 million.  Kill, and blind another United States military serviceman, repatriate from Gitmo and immediately settle and pay $10.5 million.

Welcome to Canada, of course we will change for you.

Halal socks for Islamic Relief?
