Madid Ahl al-Sham

Madid Ahl al-Sham was an online Qatar-based fundraising campaign that utilized social media to appeal for donations from Qatari citizens and residents. While the campaign reportedly had a headquarters, its fundraising efforts were conducted over the internet.{{cite web|url=http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2015/08/analysis-qatar-still-negligent-on-terror-finance.php|title=Analysis: Qatar still negligent on terror finance – FDD's Long War Journal|website=Longwarjournal.org|access-date=2016-11-27}}{{cite web|url=http://www.qatarshares.com/vb/showthread.php?539865-%D2%ED%C7%D1%C9-%C7%E1%D4%ED%CE-%E6%CC%CF%ED-%DB%E4%ED%E3-%E1%D4%C8%C7%C8-%CD%E3%E1%C9-%E3%CF%CF-%C7%E5%E1-%C7%E1%D4%C7%E3-%E6%CA%D2%DF%ED%CA%E5-%E1%E5%E3 |title=زيارة الشيخ وجدي غنيم لشباب حملة مدد اهل الشام وتزكيته لهم |website=Qatarshares.com |date=2011-11-18 |access-date=2016-11-27}} Madid Ahl al-Sham-affiliated social media accounts, including the accounts of its coordinators, posted visual flyers calling for donations to the campaign. While most flyers claimed that donations would be used to provide humanitarian supplies to Syrians, one Madid Ahl al-Sham flyer asked for donations to arm, feed, and treat fighters.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/suotalfajer/status/367339021833228288|title=صوت الفجر – قطر |publisher=Twitter|access-date=2016-11-27}} These flyers contained the names and phone numbers of campaign coordinators for those interested in donating to contact. Other Madid Ahl al-Sham flyers request donors to contact campaign coordinators according to their area of residence in Qatar.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/united4syria/posts/347966585351592|title=قال رسول الله ((من فطَّر صائماً فله... – United For Syria – Facebook|website=Facebook.com|access-date=2016-11-27}}

Madid Ahl al-Sham has reportedly fundraised under the supervision of Sheikh Eid Bin Mohammad Al Thani Charitable Association, a Doha-based charity with ties to the Qatari royal family.{{cite web|url=http://stopterrorfinance.org/stories/510952392-eid-charity-s-al-baraka-initiative-admirable-or-alarming|title=Eid Charity’s Al Baraka Initiative: Admirable or Alarming?|website=Stopterrorfinance.org|access-date=2016-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160917170003/http://stopterrorfinance.org/stories/510952392-eid-charity-s-al-baraka-initiative-admirable-or-alarming|archive-date=2016-09-17|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/11156327/Al-Qaeda-terror-financier-worked-for-Qatari-government.html|title=Al-Qaeda terror financier worked for Qatari government|website=Telegraph.co.uk|access-date=2016-11-27}} In 2014, a Madid Ahl al-Sham campaign to collect funds to provide Iftar meals for the needy was announced under the supervision of Sheikh Eid Bin Mohammad Al Thani Charitable Association, or Eid Charity.

Eid Charity, which operates as a Government Organized Non-Governmental Organization (GONGO) in Qatar, has suspected ties to terrorist networks. The charity is believed to have ties to Hamas and is a member of the “Union of Good” organization led by Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Madid Ahl al-Sham's solicitations for donations featured Qatar Islamic Bank account numbers for depositing funds.

Madid Ahl al-Sham widely advertised its calls for donations to fund the delivery of humanitarian assistance in Syria. In an online flyer attributed to the campaign and distributed through social media, Madid Ahl al-Sham requests donations from Qatari citizens to provide medicine, food, and clothes to Syrian civilians.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Boessa73/status/398713413611696128|title=محمد الباكر |publisher=Twitter|access-date=2016-11-27}} One Madid Ahl al-Sham coordinator also shared images of what appears to be food and humanitarian supplies, claiming that the aid is being sent to Syria following donations to the Madid Ahl al-Sham campaign.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Boessa73/status/401449741008900096|title=محمد الباكر |publisher=Twitter|access-date=2016-11-27}}{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Boessa73/status/466032008150278145|title=محمد الباكر |publisher=Twitter|access-date=2016-11-27}}

According to reports, 31 tons of food and household medical items were transferred to Syrian citizens and refugees through the Turkish border through an assistance program funded by Madid Ahl al-Sham donations. A member of Madid Ahl al-Sham, Mohammed Helwan al-Seqatri, told Qatari newspaper al-Watan that Madid Ahl al-Sham had over 50 young volunteers. According to al-Seqatri, the volunteers were collecting donations to be sent to Syria refugees living near the Turkish and Jordanian borders.

In addition to the campaign's humanitarian activities, Madid Ahl al-Sham also functioned as an online fundraising campaign for terrorist organizations, specifically al-Qaeda's Syrian branch Jabhat al-Nusra.

In 2013, the Washington Post reported that Madid Ahl al-Sham was “cited by Jabhat al-Nusra in August as one of the preferred conduits for donations intended for the group, which has pledged loyalty to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.”

In 2014, the U.S. Department of State described Madid Ahl al-Sham as an “online fundraising campaign that was suspected of sending funds to violent extremist elements in Syria.”{{cite web|url=https://2009-2017.state.gov/j/ct/rls/crt/2014/239407.htm |title=Country Reports on Terrorism 2014 Middle East and North Africa Overview |website=State.gov |access-date=2016-11-27}}

CNN has reported that the Twitter accounts of al-Qaeda supporters have encouraged their followers to donate to the Madid Ahl al-Sham campaign.

A Madid Ahl al-Sham flyer that campaign fundraiser Sa’d bin Sa’d Muhammad Shariyan al-Kabi used as his Twitter profile picture for a time requested donations equal to $1,500 for the preparation of a fighter. The flyer claims that the money will be used to arm, feed, and treat a fighter.

Sa’d bin Sa’d Muhammad Shariyan al-Kabi was a coordinator and fundraiser for Madid Ahl al-Sham. Al-Kabi is a SDGT accused of setting up donation campaigns in Qatar for Jabhat al-Nusra in response to a request from the terrorist group for money to purchase weapons and food. Al-Kabi also acted as an intermediary for Jabhat al-Nusra to allow the group to facilitate a ransom payment in exchange for a hostage held by the group. Al-Kabi's name and phone number appeared on multiple Madid Ahl al-Sham flyers as a point of contact for those interested in donating to the campaign, including on the flyer soliciting donations to assist fighters.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Boessa73/status/412778862901092352|title=محمد الباكر |publisher=Twitter|access-date=2016-11-27}}

Madid Ahl al-Sham was actively promoted and endorsed by terrorist financiers including Sheikh Wagdy Ghoneim and Abdulaziz bin Khalifa al-Attiyah. Ghoneim, an Egyptian cleric, was forced to leave the U.S. after allegedly fundraising for terrorist organizations. Al-Attiayah, the cousin of Qatar's foreign minister, was convicted in absentia by a Lebanese court for directing funds to al-Qaeda.{{cite web|last=Gilligan |first=Andrew |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/qatar/11203140/Ministers-family-ties-to-terror.html |title=Minister’s family ties to terror |publisher=Telegraph |access-date=2016-11-27}}

In 2013, the Washington Post reported on Madid Ahl al-Sham's connections to Jabhat al-Nusra in an article entitled “Islamic charity officials gave millions to al-Qaeda, U.S. says.”

In June 2014, CNN released a 7-minute video investigating fundraising for terrorism in Qatar. The video, released as a “CNN Outfront Special Report” shows an al-Qaeda linked militia “directing followers to donate to the (Madid Ahl al-Sham) campaign” through its Twitter account. CNN's Erin Burnett also interviewed al-Kabi over the phone who claimed he had no knowledge that his Twitter account included a Madid Ahl al-Sham flyer soliciting donations for the arming, feeding, and treating of a soldier. CNN also reports that al-Kabi claimed, through his Twitter account, that Madid Ahl al-Sham had raised $1.4 million.

In December 2014, an article by the Daily Beast entitled “U.S. Ally Qatar Shelters Jihadi Moneymen” claims that Madid Ahl al-Sham was endorsed by Jabhat al-Nusra as a conduit for donations.{{cite web|author=Jamie Dettmer |url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/10/rich-little-qatar-big-ugly-ties-to-terror.html |title=U.S. Ally Qatar Shelters Jihadi Moneymen |publisher=The Daily Beast |date=2014-01-02 |access-date=2016-11-27}}
