Police arrested the president of the Copenhagen-based Islamic charity Humanitarian Hearts (De Humanitære Hjerter) for supporting the Islamic State, and also arrested two women involved in the organization’s work. The main suspect, said to be a Libyan-born stateless person, is accused of collecting money for the IS. Fadi Abdallah, a spokesperson for the terrorism-linked Grimhøj Mosque in Aarhus, said that the mosque “cannot help but support the IS” and that he “understand[s] why they are killing people.” Denmark is said to rank behind only Belgium among Western countries in having the highest per capita number of nationals fighting in Syria.
