Kuwait admits it needs to do more against IS group funding
[AlAhram] Kuwait still needs to do more to combat the financing of IS Lion of Islams, a top Kuwaiti official said Monday at a meeting aimed at choking off funding for the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group. "We still have a lot to do, though we are satisfied with what we have done so far," Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled al-Jarallah told news hounds on the sideline of a meeting of the Counter-ISIS Finance Group (CIFG) in Kuwait City. "We are ready to cooperate with our brothers and friends," he said, responding to US criticism of Kuwait and Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... over their steps to cut the financing of Lion of Islams. Formed early last year, CIFG is led by the United States, Italia and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and is made up of over 35 countries and four international bodies. Jarallah said Kuwait "has come a long way in introducing legislation that controls the collection of (charity) donations", a suspected channel of funding murderous Moslems. The CIFG takes a global approach to undermining the flow of funds to the jihadist group, according to Adam Szubin, US Treasury's acting Under Secretary on Countering the Financing of Terrorism. Szubin said last week that the meeting in Kuwait City aims "to share information and continue developing and coordinating countermeasures against ISIS's (IS group) financial activity worldwide". He said the Treasury was working closely with Kuwait and Qatar in particular to strengthen the technical side of the fight against terrorism finance, but "there is room for improvement". Szubin said the effort to choke off funding was showing some success. IS group fighters had been abandoning the fight "as their pay and benefits have been cut and delayed, in what ISIS members in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... are calling a 'recession'", he said, referring to Iraq's battle to recapture the city from the group.
