[News Excerpts]
Neighbours living in the attractive suburban street, where two brothers who have been charged with funding terrorism are believed to live with their parents, spoke of their shock at the allegations.
The brothers are accused of sending £10,000 to their suspected terrorist brother and his wife fighting in Syria, and yesterday they appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court.
The court heard that Mohammed Iqbal Hussain, aged 25, and Mohamed Suyaubur Rohaman, 32, who live in Castle Road, Walsall Wood, will deny charges of funding terrorism.

Muhammad Yaseen Khan, president of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association which has nearly 2,000 members across Walsall and Wolverhampton, said: “This is shocking and allegations such as these are against a minute minority. But they should not be happening at all.
“It is now more important than ever for there to be strong leadership. Of course talk of ‘no go’ zones in Walsall is rubbish. Islam is peaceful.” Walsall councillor Mohammed Arif said: “There is something like 30,000 Muslims living in Walsall and the vast majority go about their business in the community in harmony. But we are seeing isolated cases where young people are being tempted by the message of ISIS.”
Councillor Arif feared isolated and vulnerable young Muslims were being radicalised by things they had read and seen on the internet. He said: “My message to our youngsters is don’t go to Syria. Don’t waste your lives, talk to someone in the community or the authorities.”
