Government freezes the assets of 25 Muslims and 26 Islamic charities linked to jihad groups -

The UK treasury published a list yesterday that included the names of 25 individuals and 26 organizations believed to be fighting and/or supporting jihad activity in Syria. Apparently this is part of the  UK government’s plan to prevent British Muslims from traveling to Syria to fight in the cause of Islam.

It is also aimed at preventing zakat (islamic charity) from reaching jihad terror groups.

How this strategy dovetails with banning Robert Spencer and me from speaking against jihad in the UK is quite the mystery. That and the UK’s recent sale of more than 200 million pounds ($339 million) in Islamic bonds — “the first non-Muslim sovereign issuer of the debt.” Zakat (Islamic charity) is mandatory in Islamic finance. Zakat funds jihad.

The UK government has decided to freeze the assets of three men believed to be in Syria fighting for jihadist groups.

  The three men, who include Nasser Muthana and Reyaad Khan both 20 and from Cardiff, as well as Ruhul Amin from Aberdeen, are all on the list of people facing sanctions from the British treasury.

The list, which was published yesterday, includes the names of 25 individuals and 26 organisations and is part of the government’s plan to prevent British citizens from travelling to Syria and becoming involved in jihadist militant groups.

It is also aimed at preventing terrorist organisations from receiving funding from accounts in Britain.

The decision by the UK government comes a few days after a man claiming to be Nasser Muthana posted a picture of 15 homemade bombs above the words “So the UK is afraid I come back with the skills I’ve gained”.
