With the needy UK Edition Afghans struggle for peace As Afghanistan emerges from the latest chapter of its turbulent history, Islamic Relief continues its tireless work, bringing vital relief supplies to those devastated by the recent crisis. 22 years of war has all but destroyed Afghanistan's infrastructure. A fourth year of drought, the recent aerial bombardment and the country-wide fighting has plunged Afghanistan into "the worst humanitarian crisis in the world". Over 3.5 million Afghans are refugees in neighbouring countries, whilst more than 1 million are feared to be displaced within Afghanistan. Through the winter months, Afghans have only restricted access [...]

Africa food crisis On the dusty barren plains of Mandera in north-east Kenya I saw sights I will never forget. I watched humans and animals drink the same dirty, disease-infested water, desperate to quench their thirst. I saw rotten animal carcasses scattered everywhere with frightening frequency. The villagers and pastoralists for whom this is home carry a look of fear and anguish. Every day they watch helplessly as their livestock die. They have dug as deep as they can to find water and what they find is not fit to drink. But they do not have the luxury of choice. Office [...]

IR in Iraq Islamic Relief started its operations in Iraq in April 1996, when a mission visited the country for the first time to assess the humanitarian situation and implement a food distribution programme. It went on to implement three major relief projects, the Leukaemia Treatment Project, the Hospital Hygiene Project and the Food Aid Programme, which has, over the years, supplied food to over 200,000. In 1998 Islamic Relief began studying other possible options of intervention such as rehabilitation of schools, hospitals and water treatment plants.

The Muslim world has a proud tradition of providing economic and social justice to their diverse citizenry during their ubiquitous leadership of the early Islamic period. To be relevant today and into the future, however, developing Muslim societies will need to re-examine their currently Euro-centric understanding and model of social advancement and strive to serve global equity through a more balanced philosophy, one that acknowledges their rich cultural heritage whilst simultaneously embracing the need for modernisation and economic advancement. Thus, the contemporary strategist in the Arab and Muslim world needs to reflect on the contribution to development of civilisation of early [...]

The title of this article may be tempting fate. The British counter-terrorist services have reported that the financial trail leading to the 7 July 2005 attacks on London included direct or indirect links to eight unspecified charities. A single major terrorist outrage anywhere in the world, clearly funded through abuse of an established Muslim charity, would decisively blacken the reputation of the whole sector. However, from the evidence available at the time of writing, one of the repercussions of 9/11 has been hyper scrutinization of Islamic charities by the United States government that uncomfortably recalls the McCarthy period.
