Please put more tag ^{[citation needed]} and ^{[dubious – discuss]}) into section "Ties to terrorist and extremist organizations" as additional of Template:Dispute Section

The information on it isn't valid even with attention of dispute-NPOV. The correct information with Islamic Development Bank is available in www.isdb.org and we are here to fight poverty in Islamic World as well as non-member countries (such as India which is not moslem country).

As Islamic Development Bank we would like to ask to be Administrator and to make it Full Protection.

Semi-protected edit request on 1 February 2016[edit]

Please remove section "Ties to terrorist and extremist organizations"

I have added early in that section as

Also I have submitted the request to more tags which are [citation needed] and [dubious – discuss]. Even potentially the whole section intention is related to WP:NPOVD besides WP:DISPUTED, WP:DUBIOUS, WP:AD.

Please follow below explanation: For example The detail on that section are:

====[edit source]

In August 1999 the Islamic Development Bank approved a $250,000 transfer issued by the Saudi government as a contribution to “the purchase of land in Washington DC to be the headquarters for an education and research center under the aegis of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR).”[13][14] CAIR is a U.S.-based Muslim advocacy organization with strong ties to Hamas which have been confirmed by several investigations.[15]

An article by Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen reported that in 2001 the Islamic Development Bank transferred $538 million raised by Saudi and Gulf royal telethons to support families of Palestinian suicide bombers and the cause of the Palestinian intifada.[16] On August 1, 2001 Dr Ahmad Muhammad Ali, a Saudi academic and president of the Islamic Development Bank, reportedly said during an interview with Asharq al-Awsat: “There was no delay in paying financial assistance to the families of Palestinian martyrs...We have started paying them soon after receiving the money.”[17][18]

Dr Ali had previously declared that IDB was responsible for the smooth functioning of al-Quds Intifada Fund and al-Aqsa Fund, both established during an Arab summit in Cairo in October 2000. According to the final communiqué of the summit, “Al-Quds Intifadah Fund will have a capital of 200 million dollars to be allocated for disbursement to the families of Palestinian martyrs fallen in the Intifadah.”[16][19]

Furthermore, Ehrenfeld and Lappen mentioned documented bank records discovered in the West Bank and Gaza proving that the IDB has channeled UN funds to Hamas.[16] Nevertheless, the bank was granted observer status by the UN in 2007 amidst all-round criticism.[16][17]

====[edit source]

Those are NPOV point-of-view as we have another facts as follow http://www.saudiembassy.net/latest_news/news06150901.aspx http://www.isdb.org/irj/go/km/docs/documents/IDBDevelopments/Internet/English/IDB/CM/Publications/IDBGroupBrief2013.pdf http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/WDSContentServer/WDSP/IB/2015/10/15/090224b08314b83e/1_0/Rendered/PDF/West0Bank0and00additional0financing.pdf

Islamic Development Bank together with Saudi Arabia, UNRWA and the World Bank, We are working to help people in emergency situation. So in the Al-Quds and Intifada fund situation, it's not only Islamic Development Bank but also others such as World Bank itself. That section (Ties to terrorist and extremist organizations) is misleading and has intention which is has break the rule of WP:NPOVD.

Islamic Development Bank is never ties with terrorism act and extremist organizations.

Our vision and mission are to fight poverty which has significant relation with reducing terrorism act in certain point. These are our Vision http://www.isdb.org/irj/portal/anonymous?NavigationTarget=navurl://eb226e0b9a3297ebddcc5554057dd35f

Our mission is: “The IDB Group is committed to alleviating poverty; promoting human development; science and technology; Islamic economics; banking and finance; and enhancing cooperation amongst member countries, in collaboration with our development partners.” Adimyati123 (talk) 13:43, 1 February 2016 (UTC) adimyati123

Not done: Hi there, not sure exactly what you want me to change. Can you be more specific? It seems the statements are well sourced. Since you have a COI, this may be a bit hard on you. Can you please discuss this with other editors before opening a request for us to make changes? --allthefoxes ^(Talk) 23:28, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Allegations are too biased[edit]

1) Al Quds and AlQasa funds work with Internationally renowned organisations like UNRWA for the relief activities and educational activities ^[1]. Linking such funds to extremism based on some website is really biased.

2) Some person with extremist view praying at a masjid cannot justify accusing the masjid authorities or the organisation who funded building of the masjid. These are really poor references.

Hope you could correct these. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noufalkareem (talk • contribs) 07:00, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 2 February 2016[edit]

Hi Administrator,

Requesting related with section "Ties to terrorist and extremist organizations" I would like to question the accuracy of the detail as many of reference informations aren't valid or not existing articles.

In August 1999 the Islamic Development Bank approved a $250,000 transfer issued by the Saudi government as a contribution to “the purchase of land in Washington DC to be the headquarters for an education and research center under the aegis of the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR).”[13][14] CAIR is a U.S.-based Muslim advocacy organization with strong ties to Hamas which have been confirmed by several investigations.[15]

The above statement is not valid because: Reference: 13.http://www.globalmbwatch.com/2010/07/11/islamic-development-bank-launches-global-media-campaign/ is referencing to non existing webpage http://www.arabnews.com/saudiarabia/article82389.ece

14. http://www.saudiembassy.net/press_release/99_spa/08_15_aid.html is not existing webpage

15. http://www.danielpipes.org/2811/cair-founded-by-islamic-terrorists Has put this statement to support above statement. The Saudi-based Islamic Development Bank gave CAIR $250,000 in August 1999. The IDB also manages funds (Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa) which finance suicide bombings against Israeli civilians by providing funds to the families of Palestinian "martyrs."

But the referencing webpages in that article, which are : http://saudiembassy.net/1999News/News/ForDetail.asp?cIndex=1153 http://www.arabnews.com/?page=4%C2%A7ion=0&article=4976&d=26&m=8&y=2001

Hi Administrator,

Related to section "Ties to terrorist and extremist organizations"

Below statement isn't got any supporting reference.

Recently, the bank’s name has been associated with the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013. Dzhokar Tsarnaev, one of the two Kyrgizstani-American citizen who was convicted of planting bombs at the marathon, used to pray at the Islamic Society of Boston (ISB) mosque in Cambridge, MA. The Islamic Development Bank is one of the major financial contributors to IBS.[24] Allegedly, the Islamic Society of Boston received a $1,000,000 donation from the Islamic Development Bank.[24]

The reference http://www.newsweek.com/2014/10/24/women-behind-boston-marathon-bombing-suspects-277760.html There is nothing in the article said about Islamic Development Bank and funding the money.

Please remove above statement. Thanks Adimyati123 (talk) 07:36, 2 February 2016 (UTC) adimyati123

Please read the provided URL (http://www.isdb.org/irj/portal/anonymous?NavigationTarget=navurl://ee19b5b85e13219fd6db543c65be29ac), since the beginning Mr. Ahmad Mohamed Ali is the former president until now. That is why I asked your help to change it. You can get Islamic Development Bank history in this URL http://www.idb-40.org/portal/home.aspx. He was elected by the board of Governors as President of IDB at 1975. 5.246.96.158 (talk) 00:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC) adimyati123

Partly done: I have removed the sentence about Mohammed bin Faisal from the lead as I cannot verify the information in the source and the editor making the request provided sources that contradict it. Note that Ahmad Mohamed Ali Al-Madani is not the former president however and should not be listed as such. He is the current president.

/* add inside Criticism section */[edit]

Please add below "Criticism" section

IDB President Ahmad Mohamed Ali has stated there was no scope of providing terrorist financing through the Islamic banks. It is a wrong conception that more scopes are available to finance terrorism through the Islamic banks^[1][2]. IDB is united with the international community in seeking to prevent abuses of the financial system by money launderers and terrorists. And IDB’s technical assistance program helps member countries strengthen their legal system and institutional framework for fighting money laundering and terrorist financing ^[3]. Besides these facts, there are some critics against it.

Dear Wiki Editors this request edit has been a while. I am assuming now the content don't have any issue related with NPOV. I will add this request edit directly to the article. In case you have any concern about it later, Please talk first rather than revert it back. Adimyati123 (talk) 06:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

I have reverted it. The bullet points are un-needed, and the content should go at the bottom at least. A requested edit means please wait for someone else to make the changes, this may take some time. --allthefoxes ^(Talk) 13:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

@Allthefoxes: I am very sorry to bother you about this. Do you mind to explain why the bullet points are un-needed? Actually I tried to understand your concern regarding neutral point of view. Editor with Conflict of interest, isn't necessary can't be come with NPOV. As well as editor without COI will be neutral.

Let discuss about this editor, Alpie202, mostly his valuable editing time only to put terrorist info to any Islamic Pages he found. Even in one of the edited article he has conflict with another editor ( Megercliff ). I tried to reason with Alpie202 regarding the section he had put in IDB (as you have suggested at 1 Feb 2016). No reply. The same case of edit war with this editor ( Megercliff ). You can see that in Alpie202 talk.

Because of this consideration, I want to know your real concern regarding to put facts about Islamic Developnment Bank itself? The bank has funding many projects in many countries with values around 103.3 Billion USD (http://www.isdb.org/irj/go/km/docs/documents/IDBDevelopments/Internet/English/IDB/CM/IDB%20Group%20Data/LiveDashboard/IsDB%20Projects.html). And some details are available in the website about where the money has been used. If you agree with an editor to put misleading information regarding terrorist funding simply because some websites cite it. Why you won't allow me to put where Islamic Development Bank stands regarding terrorism. Please let me know why you hesitate to allow these facts to be in.

Also if you want to know more detail, please consider this wikileaks (I know wikipedia dont' like them), https://www.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/07STATE37360_a.html Israel has asked US to investigate IDB at the time of UN Observer. As you are aware in above Criticism section, many of cited websites are related around the same time. US itself has said IDB Al-Quds Funds is different with other Al-Quds funds. The Department, NSC and Treasury therefore do not believe there is a basis for altering the previously cleared instruction for USUN to join consensus on the resolution to grant observer status to the IDB.

4. (U) USUN is authorized to inform the Israeli Mission to the UN of our decision not to seek deferral of this matter.

Adimyati123 (talk) 17:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

@Adimyati123: your bulleted list reads more like an official statement / press release, and may not be NPOV complaint. It doesn't really read like it to me. --allthefoxes ^(Talk) 23:53, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

@Allthefoxes: if you think that way. What about if I changed into below paragraph. I still prefer to put it on-top any critics, so the whole section has meaning. If you put under, It's need conclusion statement before this paragraph. Thanks a lot in advance.

Copyvios report and Duplication Detection report clearly show no match, and no violation has occurred[edit]

The alleged violation of copyright in this article does not seem to be conclusive.

Both the Copyvios report and the Duplication Detection report have both come back negative. This means that this page should be released by an administrator.

Also, the information where the violations are alleged to have occurred;

https://web.archive.org/web/20031209120522/http://www.isdb.org/english_docs/idb_home/backgrnd.htm

and

- Both of these sources are very much in the public domain, and it has been published by the copyright owner, the Islamic Development Bank in this case, for the purposes of mass consumption by the public. And as such, these two sources have been properly referenced in their usage throughout the article.

I am nevertheless requesting permissions from the copyright holder. Forminformation (talk) 13:19, 16 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Forminformation (talk • contribs) 13:08, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

This post is an attempt to help with the resolution of this page, and is essentially following step two of the three potential steps to follow in resolving this page - as explained on the Islamic Development Bank's page at present.

The above two links are the two claims of copyright infringement. However the information from the above two links are already in the public domain, in third party sources. If the information is already in third party sources, then the copyright infringement does not apply, since it is only original content by organizations that wikipedia does not allow, under its editorial guidelines.

Semi protected edit request for the first paragraph of the criticism section[edit]

In the first paragraph of the Criticism section, on claims that the IDB has financed projects related to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The reference (13) for this is very weak. It is a website called Global Muslim Brotherhood Watch. This website does not have any references for the claims it makes and any links are links to personal websites and blogs. There is no evidence to support the claim that the IDB has supported Hamas or Muslim Brotherhood projects. The authors of this reference have made these unsubstantiated claims in a number of articles that attempt to link the IDB to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. None of these articles have any hard evidence and instead link to other blogs and personal sites that have not been subject to fact checking. These are not primary source citations and can therefore be flagged up as such.

The second paragraph discusses a grant that the IDB gave to the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR). The paragraph goes on to attack CAIR and says it has ‘strong ties to Hamas’ (reference 15). This claim is put forward multiple times on this Wiki but it is categorically untrue. The following fact checking article by the St. Cloud Times found that such allegations had been refuted time and again. The FBI and Federal Prosecutors have looked into CAIR but found them innocent on every occasion: http://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/immigration/2015/11/08/fact-check-cair-not-us-terror-watch-list/75160822/. The FBI continues to work with CAIR, further evidence of their innocence. This offers ample scope to refute this indirect link between IDB, CAIR and Hamas.

But the most important point of all; the references provided to substantiate their claims have absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand - in the two links provided, there is absolutely no mention of CAIR having any links with Hamas - the topic does not even come up in these links at all. This paragraph should be removed at once. I urge editors and administrators to take a glance at these links to see them for what they are — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creativelement (talk • contribs) 10:17, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Semi protected edit request for the first paragraph of the criticism section[edit]

The first paragraph claims that the Islamic Development Bank has created the 'Al-Quds Intifada Fund'. This was an allegation that was made against the bank to the United States and the EU. Wikileaks cables reveals that the Islamic Development Bank has no credible links to the 'Al-Quds Intifada Fund' and the Islamic Development bank was cleared of any funding of Hamas by the EU and the US. ^[4] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.226.156 (talk) 15:24, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Semi protected edit request for the first paragraph of the criticism section[edit]

The second paragraph claims that documentary evidence proves that the IDB has provided funds to Hamas. The authors of the allegation, Ehrenfeld and Lappen are used throughout the criticisms section, however, the references for their claims do not provide any evidence. All of Ehrenfeld and Lappen are unsubstantiated. In regards to this particular claim, about the IDB providing funds to Hamas, this is untrue. At the time that the IDB was being given observer status to the UN, Israel raised the same claim against the IDB to the EU and US. Diplomatic cables show that both the US and EU found no credible evidence that the IDB had been funding terrorist groups. ^[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.84.177 (talk) 09:16, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Poorly referenced links in criticism section[edit]

The criticism section contains a paragraph stating the IDB funded a rehabilitation and vocational training centre project launched by ARRAID, a Muslim Brotherhood organisation in Ukraine - also known as the Ukraine Association for Social Organisations.

The reference to this claim is link to an article providing commentary about a report made on the ARRAID website. However, the link to the original ARRAID report used in that article is missing (it simply links to a page which says 'Page not found'). In the absence of the primary-source report being referenced, the criticisms made in this section are unsubstantiated and poorly referenced.

This removes any credibility behind this citation, makes the ‘report’ unreliable and fails to supports the claim that appeared on the Wiki.

Furthermore, none of the rest of the reports and quotes on the website mention the Muslim Brotherhood and neither do they offer any evidence that ARRAID is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. The other reference used in this section does not work - it also links to an error page.

As such, there are strong grounds to edit out this section of the criticism section. --Creativelement (talk) 15:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi protected edit request for the second paragraph of the criticism section[edit]

A paragraph within the criticism section states that the IDB has been supporting the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

However, the reference used to substantiate this claim (on investigativeproject.org) contains makes no mention at all of the IDB providing financial or any other support to ISNA.

Interestingly, the other reference used within the same paragraph to substantiate this claim is a link to a page on a website called globalmbwatch.com. That page includes a passage which reads “…the ISNA statement asserts that ISNA “does not accept funding from foreign governments.” This claim is impossible to verify since, despite its claims of transparency, ISNA is classified as a religious organization and is therefore not required to make a public report of its finances nor has it voluntarily done so.”

That statement from a citation used to support claims of an evidential financial link between IDB and ISNA would appear, in fact, to support the opposite position.

That same reference (on globalmbwatch) asserts the IDB made a $275,000 grant to ISNA’s high school and scholarship program. But that claim is not referenced - it is merely an unsubstantiated claim on a blog platform. Neither could I find any factual, authoritative reference points online to support that claim.

The rest of this paragraph within the criticism section relates to ISNA and its alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood. Notwithstanding the poorly sourced nature of those claims, such characterisations of ISNA become irrelevant given there is no adequate reference point used to demonstrate a link between it and the IDB in the first place.

As such, there are very strong grounds to remove this paragraph of the criticism section. Creativelement (talk) 20:22, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Semi protected edit request for poorly cited claims within criticism section[edit]

The paragraph within the criticism section claiming that the IDB has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas according to a 1991 report by the U.S. Library of Congress on Sudan is very poorly cited and effectively makes completely unsubstantiated claims.

The linked references have no evidence. They are all online articles and blogs that have received no fact checking or scrutiny and therefore they are not evidence of anything. The alleged 1991 report by the U.S. Library of Congress on Sudan which is the source of the criticisms in this section are not actually sourced - the cited link leads to a blog page which similarly mentions the report but also fails to provide any actual citation. Claims made on an unsourced, uncited blog post do not constitute evidence. As such, In the absence of the primary report being referenced there is very little basis for this section of the criticisms remaining on the wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creativelement (talk • contribs) 19:18, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Reverting changes that were made without providing justification[edit]

I am reverting the changes I originally inserted because they were undone by Jppcap. I have shown that all my edits are justified on the principle of verifiability and ensuring the sources are credible - no specific objections to my explanations based on this principle were provided. The contributor also failed to initiate a discussion to support the placement of the tag. As per point 6. of Wikipedia's guidelines on maintenance templates, as the tagging editor failed to initiate a discussion, I am simply removing this template as it is false and poorly sourced as per my initial arguments listed in the talk page.Creativelement (talk) 19:08, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
