Since the start of the Israel-Gaza war on 7 October last year, a number of charity initiatives have emerged within the Muslim world under the guise of supporting Gaza in the face of Israel's military campaign. One of the more interesting examples is the "Wage Jihad With Your Wealth" (Arabic: Jahid bi-Malika) campaign. Based out of northwest Syria, the idea of the campaign, as its name suggests, is that donating money is a form of waging jihad. The campaign has received donations from a variety of 'muhajirin' (foreigners who have come to the territories controlled by the insurgents in Syria).

Any parenthetical insertions in square brackets are my own.
