Muslim Charity Stripped of UK Funding over Extremism
(Telegraph-UK) Tim Ross - The Muslim Charities Forum (MCF), a leading Muslim charity, has been stripped of UK funding after the Telegraph uncovered links to a group alleged to fund Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, said he was determined to cut off funding to any group that is linked to "individuals who fuel hatred, division and violence." Several member charities of the MCF were early members of the Union of Good, a fundraising body with close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, which was created to raise money for the terrorist group Hamas.
