If you read in that article, the guy who invested did so believing the organization was legitimate. Honestly, who knows where any of our money is going when donating to international charity organizations(Peoples pockets/corruption, weapons, actually feeding people?..). As a Muslim, if you don't trust your own charity organizations to do the right thing with God as a witness, then you got problems. Most people who are nice enough to donate money, do so with great intentions. If unfortunately that organization does something wrong with that money, God have mercy on their soul.. That is basically cheating the needy.. One of the biggest sins you can commit under God.

Not so great opinion. It's a very one sided view of things. It's very easy to pull out some things a very small percentage of radicals are doing and condemn an entire religion. Like I have mentioned before, the majority of Muslims in this world are moderate peace loving people. However what most Muslims have in common is we take our Religion seriously. It's not something we take on by name only and not practice.. We practice. When you have a large majority who practice, there will be a small minority who take their "dedication" too far(to an "extreme").. thus stuff like this happens. When the majority of Christians actually followed their religion by the Book, they fought for their cause as well(and you can look at the documented violence associated with that). Like it or not, understand it or not, condone it or not(I do not), these people believe in their hearts they are doing what is right in Gods eyes.
There is a lot of other violence going on in this world for much worse reasons(drugs, money, power etc etc). Take a quick look at South America and many countries in Africa and eastern Europe. For some reason they don't get the press the middle eastern countries do(probably because the middle easterners own the oil America wants), but there are very very very nasty things, and murders(by alarming rates) happening as I type this to civilians, women and children.
If you want to point fingers to different parts of the world, point them evenly. As one heinous crime isn't worse then another by a different method just because it's in the mass media.
