A Richmond, Va. circuit court judge ruled last week that American Muslims for Palestine, which the state attorney general is probing for alleged terror ties, must provide information about its donors, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

“The case pivots around AMP’s failure for seven years to properly file basic tax forms allowing it to solicit donations in Virginia,” according to the report. Jason Miyares, the state’s attorney general, told JNS that “I am pleased with the court’s decision.”

The Anti-Defamation League describes the group as “the leading organization providing anti-Zionist training and education to students and Muslim community organizations in the country.”

Almost half of U.S. Muslim adults (49%) say that Hamas has “valid” reasons to fight Israel, and 21% of that demographic said that Hamas’s terror attack on Oct. 7 was either “completely acceptable” (10%) or “somewhat acceptable” (11%).

That’s according to data from the Pew Research Center, based on a survey of 12,693 American adults between Feb. 13 and Feb. 25.
