No FD I'm not.
Just as I'm not prepared to say there's no risk of money from these organisations ending up in the hands of Marley Cyrus or a sinister organisation of kitten killers.
Yet all three are equally absurd suggestions without any shred of evidence.
So there is a risk, but we must turn a blind eye to it, out of a duty to political correctness?
Are you saying that there is an equal liklihood of money given to Muslim organisations ending up with terrorists, 'Marley' Cyrus and kitten killers?

It's odd that this is the same Muslim who was willing to declare an epidemic of child marriages among the Muslim community based on one newspaper article, and who often portrays himself as an Islamic reformer. For some reason talking about the money hits a bit of a nerve.
We currently have about 100 Australian Muslims overseas fighting for various terrorist organisations, and about another hundred or so who want to give up their lives for the cause but were stopped by authorities (who made the absurd logical leap of linking Muslims traveling overseas with a risk of terrorism). But it is inconceivable to a good Muslim that these Muslims (or some of the many more who are sympathetic to the cause but not to the extent of wanting to die) might send money overseas for the cause or even work their way into Islamic charities or mislead Islamic organisations in order to do so.
