| Federal Judge Permits Use Of Taxpayer Money To Fund And Promote Sharia-Compliant Financing (SCF) |
| 2011-03-18 |
| Last week, Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff, a federal district court judge in Michigan, dismissed a constitutional challenge to the U.S. Government’s 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 Zatkoff’s ruling allows for oil–rich Muslim countries to plant the flag of Islam on American soil. "His ruling ignored the uncontested opinions of several Sharia experts and AIG’s 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 AIG’s use of a foreign Islamic advisory board to control investing in accordance with Islamic law." |

| #2 You know, at some point we'll have to start removing these people from the bench. I don't care about how that gets done. At what point do we chuck the pretense out and just say to hell with it. That's what the Left does. Time for them to be on the receiving end of their own crap for a change. |

| #1 Thank you black robed tyrants for furthering the loss of our freedoms. Imagine the outcry and lawsuits if this was a Christian organization. Separation of Church and State only applies to what the liberals want apparently. |
