According to the complaint, AIG itself describes "Shariah" as "Islamic law based on the Quran and the teachings of the Prophet [Mohammed]."
The case accuses the company of employing a "Shariah Supervisory Committee" that includes Sheikh Nizam Yaquby from Bahrain, Mohammed Ali Elgari from Saudi Arabia, and Muhammed Imran Ashraf Usmani from Pakistan.
The law center described Usmani as the "son, student, and dedicated disciple of Mufti Taqi Usmani, who is the leading Shariah authority for Shariah-compliant finance in the world and the author of a book translated into English in 1999 that includes an entire chapter dedicated to explaining why a Western Muslim must engage in violent jihad against his own country or government."
The complaint further cites the obligatory "zakat," which under Shariah is a religious tax that must be directed to those in jihad.
"The 'zakat' religious tax is used to financially support Islamic 'charities,' some of which have ties to terrorist organizations that are hostile to the U.S. and other 'infidels,' which includes Christians and Jews," the center said.
Thomas More cited the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development as an example. That organization was convicted of providing millions of dollars to Islamic terrorists, the center said.
"As a direct consequence of the taxpayer funds appropriated and expended to purchase and financially support AIG, the federal government is now the owner of a corporation engaged in the business of collecting religious taxes to fund interests adverse to the United States, Christians, Jews, and all other 'infidels' under Islamic law," the center said.
"This lawsuit is as much about protecting constitutional principles as it is about protecting our national security and preventing another 9/11, whether overtly through direct attacks or covertly through a taxpayer funded stealth jihad," Thompson said.

OK .. now THAT’S a REASON to be Angry with AIG.
so far the rest has been sophmoric, as our elected Liars err LAWYERS, seem to have NO IDEA about the sanctity of CONTRACT LAW.
Zieg HEIL! HEIL OBAMA! HEIL FUHRER!
Should be no surprise....the real reason for the AIG bailout is to protect all the Globalist non-American assets insured by AIG.
Most of the billions to AIG was wealth-redistributed out of the US.
I am sure those who support the AIG and their execs being bailed out...will find something to criticize WorldNetDaily...even though they outed the terrorist link to AIG bailout...
Even more troubling is that the AIG bailout was begun, not by the current “Muslim” President, but by the very Liberal Globalist George W Bush....
You might want to re-think that statement. Read this first http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/9454
Three word that confuse obama / protecting constitutional principles
