A federal jury in Dallas on Monday declared that a Muslim charity and five men who worked with it were guilty of three dozen counts related to the illegal funneling of at least $12-million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, reports The Dallas Morning News.

The charity in the case — The Holy Land Foundation, in Richardson, Tex. — was one of the biggest Muslim charities in the country until the government shut it down on charges of terrorism.

The ruling came after a previous hearing of the case ended in a mistrial. Nonprofit leaders have been watching the case closely as the federal government sets the lines for what kind of activities charitable organizations can conduct overseas.
