Law Center Sues AIG for Promoting Islam
I received the following in an email (hat tip to Hank!). Take the exact same scenario – don’t change ONE detail except change all the Democrat names with Republican names and change all mention to Islam with Christianity… now envision the outrage you would hear from the otherwise quiet left. Yeah. I can hear the crickets too.

TMLC Sues AIG for Promoting Islam; Responds to Justice Dept’s Motion to Dismiss Suit Challenging AIG
March 19, 2009
ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center, a national, public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, responded yesterday to a motion to dismiss its federal lawsuit challenging the AIG bailout. The request to dismiss was filed by the Obama administration’s Department of Justice on behalf of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and the Federal Reserve Board.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “Although widespread public anger has rightfully focused on bonuses AIG paid to top executives using taxpayers’ money, that anger would be at an even higher pitch if the public knew that our tax dollars were being used by AIG to promote Islam and Shariah law, which provides support for terrorist activities aimed at killing Americans and destroying America.”
In its motion to dismiss, the Department of Justice claimed that the government does not control AIG and that it provided billions of dollars in taxpayer money to AIG “to address what is possibly the worst financial crisis this country has encountered since the Great Depression.” In its response the Law Center pointed out that, while our federal government may be compelled to act in unprecedented ways during these difficult times, the crisis itself does not excuse the government from using tax dollars to promote the religion of Islam in violation of the Constitution.

Thank YOU for all that you do….

We need to be a little more than angry. 3000+ dead, 65,000+ wounded, and this multinational goliath corporation
KNOWINGLY (pg 84 on their 2007 annual report (PDF)) fund charities responsible for providing assistance to al qaeda. You need to buck up, get active, and make a difference. What other multi-nationals are doing the same kind of business? WTF!
