| 2014-12-22 |
| [IraqiNews.com] On Saturday, an Indian newspaper revealed that the Malaysian elements of the so-called 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.... in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) are taking bank loans to finance their trips to Iraq and Syria. The Indian newspaper ?The Hindu? said in a report today followed by IraqiNews.com, ?The Malaysian police in Kuala Lumpur recently incarcerated Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! a 30 year old man for taking out a loan to join terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria.? The newspaper explained, ?Police investigations revealed that five other sympathizers with ISIS were stopped and prevented from traveling too, because they withdraw loans from banks to finance their trips to Iraq and Syria.? The newspaper report said that the anti-terrorism unit in Malaysia will inform the banks about the need to stop giving out loans to those who strong suspicions of financing ISIS hover around them.? |

| #6 Doesn't Radical Islam typically or routinely pay the airfare for Jihadi wannabes??? Perhaps the real story here is that the ISIS/ISIL at present doesn't have the $$$ to do the above as they ordinarily would have, an indicator but one of how much pressure they are under vee the Kurds, Iraqi Army, + US-led Coalition, etc. in general??? |

| #2 It's not like they're getting the money from selling untaxed cigarettes, welfare, or money transfers from "Auntie Fatima" in Dearborn... |

| #1 The bank either believes that they have a good chance of coming back and paying the note, or they got real good collateral. Or the banks are using guidelines from the US from oh, say, 15 years ago. |
