Bailing Out Shariah Law
IBD Editorials ^ | December 30, 2008

Posted on 12/30/2008 5:39:02 PM PST by Kaslin

Islamofascism: In bailing out AIG, Uncle Sam may have taken on more than he bargained for, including a constitutional fight over the promotion of religion.


Earlier this month, as the New York-based insurance giant benefited from $153 billion in tax-supported bailout funds, it launched a business unit offering Shariah-compliant insurance products in the U.S.

For the first time, homeowners' insurance policies "compliant with key Islamic finance tenets" will be marketed to Muslims in America.

"We are pleased to offer socially responsible solutions to this segment of the domestic market," the near-bankrupt AIG announced in a press release, explaining that the Islamic market represents "an important and emerging growth opportunity for AIG."

But there's little that is "socially responsible" about Shariah law, which regulates the "takaful" insurance AIG is selling, along with other Islamic finance.

Shariah law authorizes horrific human-rights abuses, including the kind of violence and oppression against women, homosexuals, apostates and non-Muslims seen in Saudi Arabia and earlier under the Taliban in Afghanistan.

To fully comply with Shariah code, AIG has hired a "Shariah Supervisory Board" composed of "Shariah scholars." Who are these so-called scholars?

So if you toss acid in your daughters face for dishonoring you, and it starts a fire that burns down the home, the insurance will cover it. Great... /s

You’ve almost certainly done business with AIG, either directly or indirectly. They are everywhere when it comes to the American economy.

Will these policies be available to infidels?

Marketed how? “Buy this policy or terrible things (will) happen to you.”

I wonder how much of their failure can be tied to the Shariah denial of profit.

It goes to show that if you want respect, set off some bombs.

No corporation ever got out of entanglements with the abortion business just because some Catholics wrote a few letters.

Not quite. No one respected the Weathermen, or the Red Army in Europe, because they set off some (a few) bombs. To get respect, you need to set off a LOT of bombs.

AIG, this could turn out to be a bridge to far. You just might be courting a big problem.

It's a shame that it took so many paragraphs to get around to mentioning this, but this is what should be emphasized:

...a sizeable share of the profit and any interest earned by AIG's Islamic subsidiary must be "purified" by investing in Islamic charities. Such transfers will be controlled by Usmani and other Shariah advisers.

Since 9/11, dozens of major Muslim charities around the world, including several based in the U.S., have been tied to terrorism and shut down. So AIG — along with American taxpayers — could unwittingly finance terrorism against the U.S. and its allies...

Several times U.S. based Islamic charities were found to have been financing such things as weapons used to kill Westerners and Israelis as well as paying bounties to suicide bombers' families.

This was no aberration. I'm sure that some of the times the non-Muslims who were helping were guilty only of not paying proper attention. However, we Westerners are well-advised to understand that in the Islamic world, that just as there is no separation of church and state, there is also no separation between charity and violence. They smuggle weapons along with food. They use ambulances to transport terrorists.

They have no conception of doing otherwise, because they see weapons, medicine and food to be inextricably linked. Why? Because they are the Chosen. The food and medicine they get are only to be seen as fuel to allow them to spread Islam. The weapons are thus even more important, because they kill the Infidel and thus serve Allah.

Purifying the worrld of non-Muslims is the Alpha and Omega for Islam, which is first and foremost a violent, expansionist political ideology that uses religion to justify wholesale slaughter for outsiders and oppression of their own. The blasphemy of this is that they claim Divine Sanction, positing their wants and needs as identical to that of the Almighty.

Until and unless we understand that we are in an inter-generational war that is aimed at our forced conversion or our obliteration as a culture -- and respond accordingly -- our chances of surviving this century as a people diminish with each passing year.

Have a nice day.
