U.S. Government helps “Establish” Islam: taxpayers subsize terrorism

AIG - Shariah Law

Thomas More Law Center

Use of taxpayer funds to acquire a majority ownership interest in a company that intentionally promotes and funds Shariah-based Islamic religious practices violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

According to our lawsuit, the U.S. government, through its ownership of AIG, which promotes Shariah-compliant financing, is not only violating the Establishment Clause of the Constitution, but it is also financing the destruction of America using American tax dollars.

The basis of our lawsuit is that AIG explicitly promotes Shariah-compliant financing, which subjects certain of their financial activities to the dictates of Islamic law.  In fact, AIG brags about its Shariah-compliant financing on its website and in their press releases.

Now here is something more to be outraged about.

You should know that Shariah law is the body of Islamic law based on the Koran, which is used to demand the destruction of the United States.  This is the same law championed by Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.  This is the same law that prompted the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil that killed thousands of innocent American civilians.

Shariah law is the same law that justifies beheadings, beatings, stonings, and amputations for petty crimes in places like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Sudan.  It is the same law that demands the murder of infidels.  It calls for the persecution of Christians and Jews.

It is the same law that represses women as second class citizens.

AIG (read our government) employs a three-person Shariah Advisory Board, from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Pakistan, to ensure the requirements of Shariah law are met in its investments.

The U.S. Treasury Department and Harvard University co-sponsored a seminar in November 2008 entitled “Islamic Financing 101” to promote Shariah financing among American institutions.  Harvard is one of the many American universities and colleges receiving millions of dollars from oil-producing countries, which ultimately influence their Middle East programs. 

The Thomas More Law Center’s lawsuit was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Kevin J. Murray, a former Marine infantryman who served two tours of duty in Iraq.  Co-counsel on the case is David Yerushalmi, an expert on Shariah law and Shariah-compliant financing, who is affiliated with the Law Center and is general counsel to the Center for Security Policy.

  Memorial Day

It is the Soldier

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
 
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protestor to burn the flag.


No terrorists in American prisons!

Obama vindicates Bush

OBAMA’S GITMO IN AFGHANISTAN TO CONTINUE, AND EXPAND OPERATIONS *

THE TRACK RECORD AND COMMON SENSE INFORMS THOUGHTFUL PEOPLE of the danger of bringing Islamic radicals and terrorists to American prisons.

They have a TENDENCY TO MULTIPLY like cockroaches.

News Item:  NY Post 5.22.09

PATH TO RADICAL ISLAM BEGINS IN JAILS

“They were like a million other petty criminals — until they embraced radical Islam behind bars, launching a terrifying march to a planned mass murder that ended only when authorities sabotaged their sinister plot.”

Tell Mr. Obama, and Pelosi and Feinstein to continue housing these animals in Cuba, and in Afghanistan.  Did you know Mr. Obama has a prison in Afghanistan just like Gitmo, filled with terrorists who are not covered by the Geneva Conventions, according to Mr. Obama’s AG, Mr. Holder?

The only difference is Obama imprisons three times as many— about 670 detainees — indefinitely in Afghanistan, and he has no intention of closing that facility or releasing those murderers.

Is the Afghanistan prison a recruiting tool for terrorists Mr. Obama?

Hypocrisy?   Oh yes, and much more…READ HERE from a radical Left publication:

* Less than a month after signing an executive order to close the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, President Barack Obama has quietly agreed to keep denying the right to trial to hundreds more terror suspects held at a makeshift camp in Afghanistan that human rights lawyers have dubbed “Obama’s Guantanamo.”

PS:  President Clinton initiated rendition through the CIA in the 90s because he didn’t want to step up and interrogate terrorists himself.   So he sent them to Egypt.  If you know anything about Egyptian ‘interrogation,’ you know it’s real torture, the kind of treatment many do not survive.  Even if the Egyptians got useful intelligence, which is questionable, the U.S. could never be fully confident the Egyptians would fully disclose it.

Had Mr. Clinton had the balls to interrogate terrorists, would we have obtained intelligence allowing the prevention of 9/11?  Pure speculation of course, but an interesting question nonetheless.

TERRORISTS AMONG US

OBAMA IN BUSH CLOTHING by Charles Krauthammer

If hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue, then the flip-flops on previously denounced anti-terror measures are the homage that Barack Obama pays to George Bush. Within 125 days, Obama has adopted with only minor modifications huge swaths of the entire, allegedly lawless Bush program.

Krauthammer hammers the point home:

Observers of all political stripes are stunned by how much of the Bush national security agenda is being adopted by this new Democratic government. Victor Davis Hanson (National Review) offers a partial list: “The Patriot Act, wiretaps, e-mail intercepts, military tribunals, Predator drone attacks, Iraq (i.e., slowing the withdrawal), Afghanistan (i.e., the surge) — and now Guantanamo.”

 

Jack Goldsmith (The New Republic) adds: rendition — turning over terrorists seized abroad to foreign countries; state secrets — claiming them in court to quash legal proceedings on rendition and other erstwhile barbarisms; and the denial of habeas corpus — to detainees in Afghanistan’s Bagram prison, indistinguishable logically and morally from Guantanamo.

What does it all mean? Democratic hypocrisy and demagoguery? Sure, but in Washington, opportunism and cynicism are hardly news.
