// The number of times the Charity Commission has shared concerns about links between charities and extremism with police and other agencies has nearly trebled from 234 to 630 in just three years. //
That rise is mostly attributed to the rise in humanitarian aid convoys to Syria. Many muslims will innocently donate to aid their fellow muslims suffering in war torn countries. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know where aid will end up, and often it is with The Free Syrian Army (FSA)and the al-Nursa Front, both fighting Assad.
In a recent case, two men were found guilty after they arranged an aid convoy, but used the trip to give £3,000 to a relative who had joined al-Nursa.

There is an hint of hypocrisy though. The US State Department and UK Government sent $100,s of millions to the FSA, and large amounts trickled to al-Nursa and ISIS. 50 Toyota Pick up trucks given to the FSA by the US were spotted soon after bearing ISIS livery and flags.
So military aid from the US and UK Governments is acceptable, but small amounts of cash going to relatives who have gone to fight Assadare criminal and terrorist offenses.
