Varanasi Blasts: a Saudi-funded Muslim Charity Being Investigated

Article here. I can't understand why there isn't a blanket ban on foreign funding of religious organizations. Clearly, there have to be limits on the freedom of proselytizing granted in the Indian Constitution. Such a blanket ban will make it easier to pinpoint foreign funding of militant sources.

Short of that, there should be rules that all religious organizations (including Hindu organizations!) make their funding (and accounting) records publicly available and then put these records on the web, so there will be some public oversight of who's getting their money from where and where the money's going.

It's just outrageous that we pay through our nose to buy (oil) from people who funnel the money back to kill us.
