Thomas More Law Center filed suit Monday morning against the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board. Law Center president Richard Thompson is asking the court to halt all bailout funds from going to American International Group, Inc. (AIG). Thompson explains why.
“Because that company has a branch that is controlled by Islamic scholars and who basically support the religion of Islam through Shariah and ultimately finance terrorist activities,” he says.
That gives the government an 80-percent stake in the business, which in part has a religious orientation — which raises constitutional questions, says Thompson. “[I]t also shines a light on serious national security issues that our own government has created by direct financial support and ownership of a business that supports anti-American, radical Islamic activities,” he states in a press release.
According to that release, AIG employs a three-person Shariah Advisory Board in its promotion of Shariah-compliant businesses and insurance products. Dr. Muhammed Imran Ashraf Usmani, the Pakistani member of that board, supports the belief that Muslims in Western countries have an obligation to wage violent jihad against their host country.
Thompson explains that Shariah-compliant financing includes “zakat” — a form of obligatory charitable contribution to assist those who wage jihad.
“A certain percentage of the profits go to Islamic charities such as the Holy Land Foundation,” the attorney notes, “and we know that many of those charities are nothing but fronts for terrorist organizations.”
In conclusion, that means there is an “internal cultural jihad” under way against America, says Thompson. The question then is: Is the American government, throughout its AIG bailout, perhaps financing the next 9/11 attack?
“Absolutely,” states Thompson. “There’s no question about it.
“This lawsuit is as much about protecting constitutional principles as it is about protecting our national security and preventing another 9/11 — whether it be overt through flying planes into buildings, or covert through appropriating taxpayer money to fund an Islamic cultural jihad.”
