Obviously there was more to it than supporting a charity...he is very upfront and non-compromising about his political views. It's also sad that he isn't allowed to enter three 'Muslim' countries, especially considering that one of these bans means Muslims denying a fellow Muslim the right to perform an act of Ibaadah, viz Hajj and Umrah...SubhaanAllah what is this world coming to? Anyway Alhamdulillah for this news...what an amazingly profound, selfless and humble individual...you would think considering current trends in the commercialising of Shuyookh and Da'wah, someone of his prominence and status would be unapproachable and difficult. But Subhaanallah, he is far from it. May Allah Preserve him, and cause him to be a lesson in humility for us all. Aameen.

Moazzem found himself in a captive of the Pakistani govt and subsequently the US for doing charity work in Afghanistan, a profession that may have severe consequences for anybody who is not western and white. his defence against working/abetting taliban was similar to a hypothetical swiss grandma who donated money online with the good intentions of helping some poor children on the other side of the globe. can anybody blame a poor swiss lady for aiding global terrorism, even if there were inadmissible proof in the US hands of charitable networks running a global jihad? if you go by the logic of US courts the way they are treating aafia's mental health as fit to stand trial, when the media is questioning if Michael could have been fit to write his own will after many years of drug abuse, you can rest assure that Ramadan can very well be found malingering (wilfully faking) his knowledge about the money he donated could have been going to pay an egyptian blackmarketeer for smuggling the projectiles into Gaza that has a 1:400 chance of hitting an israeli kid in Sderot. the politics of charity had been subtly put forth by Moazzam Begg in his book Enemy Combatant (2006) where he prepares his defense with his lawyers for the military tribunal (kangaroo court which is set to try Omar the canadian juvenile) against accusations he hasn't been formally charged with and evidences his lawyers has no access to.
