At your service, American Taxpayer! AIG's Shariah Advisory Board
Meet Moe, Larry and Curly. I mean, Mohamed, Muhammad, and Mohammed.* As members of the AIG Takaful Shariah Advisory Board, they really work for you and me, the American taxpayer, ever since we the people bought an 80 percent stake in the bankrupt insurance company.
How's that for bait and switch? While we agonize over chump-change AIG bonuses, we ignore the fact we're paying for the subversion of liberty and justice for all by funding AIG's promotion and entrenchment of sharia--Jew-, Christian-, and humanist-hostile supremacist Islamic law. As of December 2008, by the way, AIG Takaful insurance products went on sale in the USA under the ironically named Lexington Takaful Solutions.
Lexington, Lexington--wasn't that where our experiment in liberty began with the shot heard round the world? Must have been a dream. At this rate, Lexington will go down in history as the beachhead of US taxpayer-funded sharia. From "taxation without representation" to taxation to support sharia: How the free have enslaved themselves.
But back to the Sharia team on Unlce Sam's payroll.
Mohamed #1 is Mohamed Ali Elgari, born Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The AIG Takaful website boasts that he's the winner of "the Islamic Development Bank prize in Islamic Banking and Finance for the year 1424H."
1424H? That's 2004 for infidels. (Do the Islamic math here.)
Someday, we'll consider Elgari's career trajectory typical. That is, where once our elites went from say, Groton to Yale College to Harvard Law School, now, pace Elgari, they go from from King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia to the OIC to Harvard Law School. There, not far from the statue of John Harvard, the crews rowing on the Charles, and, of course, Harvard Yard, the Saudi sits on "the advisory board of Harvard Series in Islamic Law."
In other words, the cancerous advance of sharia into our institutional organs has already reached a critical stage.
Read about the rest of AIG's Sharia Team here.
Note that Muhammad #2's bio, first crack out of the box, informs us that he is the son of "justice (Retd) Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani." Papa Usmani is indeed a world-noted and prolific sharia scholar, whose works include the book Islam and Modernism where he wrote: "Killing is to continue until the unbelievers pay jizyah (subjugation tax) after they are humbled or overpowered."
Don't ask me why AIG thinks that's a irresistible sales pitch for life insurance.
Paul Sperry reports on Usmani the Elder and his jihadist activities--and his abrupt disappearance in 2008 from the Dow Jones sharia team after said jihadist activities began to be reported--here. Funny how proud of him AIG still is.
Don't miss AIG Takafuls's FAQs.
And finally, do note that Mohammed #3* is really named Nizam.
