[um muhammad al-mahdi]

:salam2:

can please anyone tell me about Amnesty Internationlal?I mean:is it a company that can be trust for charity or not?
I always had this doubt but every person I ask about doesn't know.

Salaam,

The best answer will come from the organization itself. Contact them.
In the US, to join AI you have to pay a membership fee. After the fee you write letters on behalf of the organization. Letters are directed to areas wherein there are many abuses against humanity.
They are a watchdog organization. Are they effective? To a limited degree. In a sense they are the UN for private citizens who join to help rid of abuses against humanity.
As for charity..they would accept it. That is my limited knowledge.

I feel we should start MUSLIM INTERNATIONAL , instead of relying on Amnesty or whatever. Make the Ummah strong by being together, lending help to other Muslims, instead of those so-called organisations.

Salaam,

To start Muslim Amnesty...I will have to borrow words from an old American soul song..

And I second that emotion!!!!!!!

:salam2: bother,
I believe they are a trustful organization they are approved for recieving donation and the money goes to what they collect it for. They work non-governmental, no political or religion. Just for people who have been convicted or just imprisoned without trials, torture and for human rights.
They have done a lot of works for the Guantanamo "prisoners". It is a project called Close Gantanamo, visit their site and read more.
