The True AIG

Just when you thought that the government’s massive bailout of AIG couldn’t become any more convoluted, the true story of AIG came to light recently. A Michigan federal judge ruled that a lawsuit brought by an Ex-Marine will go forward concerning the government bailout of insurance giant American International Group, or AIG.

The problem with AIG, which was mainly missed by the mainstream left theologian media thinkers, is that the company engages in “sharia-compliant insurance” to fulfill tenets of the Muslim faith. According to this “sharia compliant insurance”; there is a certain amount of interest that you cannot take under sharia law, and anything above that interest has to be cleansed. Coincidentally, the cleansing of that interest is to have a board of Islamic leaders called Imams cleanse it by, you guessed it; sending it to Islamic charities.

Obviously, this is in violation of the Constitution's Establishment Clause, which prevents the government from a certain degree of involvement in religion. Everyone knows that some Islamic charities are not necessarily charities at all. It just so happens that some of these Islamic charities that AIG sends the interest to may be involved with the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

My case in point is when the federal government successfully prosecuted the Holy Land Foundation, a well-known charity for Islamic causes in Texas because it ended up funding Hamas and Hezbollah.

Thankfully, in this case and with an unusual act of wisdom from the federal bench, a federal judge has waved a green flag for the case to proceed.

One would assume that if a conflict arises between American law and religious laws, the Constitution would prevail. Given the fact that the federal government is involved and the commander in chief is an inexperienced Chicago politician way over his head, I hardly have faith that this ruled principle would apply.


Not only did the fat cats at AIG feed once again at taxpayer expense, but their parasite Islamic brothers [some of which with no doubt may be terrorists] are now direct leaches off the backs of Americans. Good job Barak.
