A lawsuit was filed in federal court in Michigan today against the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board for providing funds to American International Group even though AIG allegedly "intentionally promotes" sale of products that comply with Islamic law.
The suit alleges that selling products and helping businesses that comply with the Islamic cannon law system Shariah not only violates the Constitution but promotes and finances "the destruction of America using American tax dollars."
The suit, filed by lawyers for the St. Thomas More Center, seeks a court order to stop the taxpayer funding of AIG and its alleged "Islamic-based businesses and activities."
