Assalamu Alaikum, I need the addresses and/or phone numbers of muslim organizations such as Mercy International which accept contributions for Iraqi refuguees. Should you know how to send money to these organizations, it will be helpfull, too. I've a list of organizations published in N.Y. Times, but I do not know anyone of them and to be honest I do not trust non-muslims in that matter. I'm including the NY Times' list below. If you know that any one of them belongs to muslims or if you know any other muslim organizations, please send email. There is a tendency even among muslims to ignore these poor Kurdish refuguees. "For those who give in Charity, men and women, and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan, it shall be increased manifold (to their credit), and they shall have (besieds) a generous reward." -Surah al-Hadid; Ayah 18 peace, -Soner PS The list of organizations that appeared in NY Times: American Friends Service Committee, 1501 Cherry St., Phil.

[rest of list deleted] I know a few people in American Friend's Service Committee, and think they are a respectable organization. As for Save the Children, I have been sponsoring a Muslim girl in south Lebanon for the last 3 years. I have been very pleased with them.
