Religious charities accuse US of interfering in their work Doha: Islamic charities here yesterday accused the United States and other Gulf governments of meddling in their activities and preventing them from delivering aid to disaster-hit areas.
Participants in the 'Second GCC Forum For Charitable Works' said restrictions imposed on Islamic charitable associations will not help root out those involved in funding terror activities and prompt more illegal activities.
"Many Islamic charities are suspected of funding terrorism and denied funds without any evidence," said Ali Al Suwaidi, general manager of the Qatar-based Shaikh Eid Bin Mohammad Al Thani Charitable Association and the event organiser.
