Shariah Law gains foothold in US: Federal judge upholds government funding of Islam; Thomas More Law Center files appealANN ARBOR, MI - 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
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.Click on the title to read the whole story at Atlas Shrugs.
Continued Thompson: "This astonishing decision allows the federal government as well as AIG and other Wall Street bankers to explicitly promote Sharia law-- the 1200-year-old body of Islamic canon law based on the Koran, which demands the destruction of Western Civilization and the United States. This is the same law championed by Osama bin Laden and the Taliban; it is the same law that prompted the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks; and it is the same law that is responsible for the murder of thousands of Christians throughout the world. The Law Center will do everything it can to stop Sharia law from rearing its ugly head in America.
