Islamic Relief, the largest Islamist charity in the world, has a major presence in the United States and Europe. But charity is not Islamic Relief’s only mission.

When, last month, a British newspaper uncovered virulently anti-Semitic social media posts and glorification of terrorism by a leader of the organization, it came as no surprise. But can this serve as a wakeup call to encourage other states to follow Israel and the UAE’s lead?
