Yet these suicide bombers are not just doing it out of religious beliefs, it's a result of oppression, perceived injustice and other countries invading / other religions dictating their way of life on them. Cracking down on religion isn't going to change that. 

Religion is the tool and should indeed be better regulated to prevent religious institutions being used to funnel money towards terrorism or used to spread hate speech. So should the internet be better regulated, as well as bitcoin, gofundme's, dubious charities, offshore accounts etc. 

No one also outright opposes charities, but some are used to promote hate and fund terrorism as well.

But true, religion should not be exempt of scrutiny. And imo it should also not be part of government nor diplomacy. People like JD Vance and Mike Huckabee and earlier Biden should not be in politics or leave their religion to themselves, outside of politics. 

There is a huge oversight of charities though and they’re expected to produce full accounts and explain movements of all money. The charity in this instance is just an indirect tool, not an ideological driving force.

Depends, for example is Birthright the tool or has it become an ideological driving force?

And this oversight is selective, also influenced by religion and institutionalized racism as well as Aipac (another tool or ideological driving force?)

In official records, Mizrachi Canada has been listed as a charity organisation since 1979.

But it was only in 2022, after activists exerted pressure for more information, that it disclosed that some of the recipients of its funds in Israel were organisations like Regavim, a radical pro-settler group that is forcibly taking over Palestinian lands.

The CRA has yet to take any action against Mizrachi Canada, which faces multiple allegations including violation of the Income Tax Act, the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act, and going against official Canadian policy.


Of course the Zionist colonial settler project is using religion more for colonial purposes than the other way around. It's foremost a political movement and a perversion of Judaism. But it embraces the terrorist fanatics to push the colonial agenda forward nonetheless.
