Federal Judge Permits Use Of Taxpayer Money To Fund And Promote Sharia-Compliant Financing (SCF)
Last week, Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff, a federal district court judge in Michigan, dismissed a constitutional challenge to the U.S. Governments bailout of AIG, which used over a hundred million dollars in federal tax money to support Islamic religious indoctrination through the funding and promotion of Sharia-compliant financing (SCF). SCF is financing that follows the dictates of Islamic law. The challenge was brought by the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and co-counsel David Yerushalmi, on behalf of Kevin Murray, a Marine Corps veteran of the Iraqi War. TMLC filed a notice of appeal immediately after the ruling and will be seeking review of the decision in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of TMLC, commented: Judge Zatkoffs ruling allows for oilrich Muslim countries to plant the flag of Islam on American soil. "His ruling ignored the uncontested opinions of several Sharia experts and AIGs own website, which trumpeted Sharia-compliant financing as promoting the law of the Prophet Mohammed and as an ethical product, and a new way of life. "His ruling ignored AIGs use of a foreign Islamic advisory board to control investing in accordance with Islamic law." Posted by: Anonymoose 2011-03-18 |
