UK Charity Commission: Cash meant for refugees goes to extremists

Not a surprise.

Does the West’s charitable giving end up here—buying weapons for this Islamist fighter in Allepo?

From the UK Daily Mail:

Millions of pounds donated to help Syrian refugees caught up in the bloody civil war is being used to fund terrorism, the charity watchdog believes.

The Charity Commission said cash ‘undoubtedly’ ends up in the hands of extremist groups, while the Disasters Emergency Committee said it could not guarantee that some of the £20million it has raised has not bankrolled jihadists.

William Shawcross, chairman of the commission, said: ‘A lot of money is raised that goes to Syria, some of it undoubtedly goes to extremist groups… It is very hard for all organisations to determine that.’

Truth is, they have no idea where all the money goes.
