AIG used taxpayer bail-out money to promote Sharia Law: yay or nay?

AIG can't just promote a new law or change the old law without going through Congress and then all 50 states must want it. AIG can dream but I don't see how this could pass right now or any time in the near future.

Maybe we can use it against them. Off with their heads!

I don't know how they could get Sharia Law's to pass in the US. If they did I think the next president and congress would reverse that decision.

Of course it a BIG NO. I'm sick of my tax dollars being spent on BS. I don't even want to get started on Sharia Law.

Dam Obama, figures he had a hand in appointed those loser judges as well as had a hand (once again) in encouraging sharia law here in America with of all things, our hard earned tax money!! Dang, Romney needs to take off the kid gloves and literally kick Obama's butt in November and at-the-same-time, those Judges have got to go too, damn traitors.

Judges annoy me.

ARE you serious...????? No I did not see it......Thanks for tuning me in!!!!
Unreal!!!! When I come to my senses and am able to think straight I will leave a remark!!!!

I can not understand why it is that some people think this is all part of some "agenda" by Republicans to infuriate American citizens.. Like this is all made up or a figment of all our imaginations. These same people who didn't want to continue to show the towers going downon 911, not because they were so much concerned for the victims and their families, but for the fear that AMERICANS would get pissed off. PERIOD! According to them God forbid we should be reminded of what was done to us, to this country, and by whom, on a daily basis. I think we all need reminding of what these terrorist bastards did, and what they're leaders and followers really think of us. For if we forget, we are bound to repeat!!! Yet the bleeding hearts of this country on hell bent on ruing this country,by rolling over and playing dead, and allowing people of hatred to dictate what this country does, and condones it by supporting it with our TAX DOLLARS!
People need to come up for some oxygen before it's too late!

We have one set of laws. The ones laid out by the Constitution. Shariah Law should not even be IN THIS COUNTRY. If the people that want Shariah Law, need it so badly, let them go back to their own Country!!! Shariah Law was one of the big reasons that a lot of them came to this Country in the first place.

Why is Sharia Law so popular with you guys?

What I heard is Matt Dillon is going to be Marshall and he makes the Law. And the law say it's murder to kill a man unless he tries to draw first!

NAY NAY NAY NAY NAY till THE GOD LORD RETURNS, OUR LORD not allah the ancient tribal nomadic desert moon god...WE MUST PROTECT OURSELVES FROM THIS HIDEOUS AND HORRIBLE AND VIOLENT CULT...how is it when it comes to SHARIA LAW, separation of church and state is thrown out the door, and that goes for HUMAN SECULARISM also...what's up wit dat?

You got a problem? If you don't wear a gun and your killed it's murder. Then Matt Dillon has to get them for you.

Grrrr

oooooops. Hit the wrong damned button.

Oh I think this sounds like another Republican spin to get people upset.

lol you think?
Are modern Republicans idiots? Or just amoral? 40 years ago we had a few brilliant Republicans of high moral character.
Its been a long time since Eisenhower and Nixon.

Republican spin? people shouldn't be upset about how our TAXES are being spent to further the Islamic causes?
Do you even know what the significance of this means for American Citizens?
Do you understand how this will affect the rights of people living in this country?

Bingo wow-really!

AIG was not advocating for Sharia Law. It was simply trying to do business with Muslims and to do business with them you have to have a basic understanding of their rules for financial contracts. I dislike Sharia Law because it is highly irrational. Going berserk over this financial training is also irrational.

Yes. In fact I thought that was our biggest beef with the Muslims was that they still followed Christ, and had outlawed the collection of interest in their banking systems (since Christ called it usury and a Sin).

That was the real conflict we had been fighting, to force their banking system to work like ours?

your tax dollars hard at work

90% no.Does this answer the question? Sharia and American Law could not ever work side by side in America.It would be like having an Eagle (American) mate with a sparrow (Islamic) Never could work.

Obvious.

This wasn't a government choice. In fact, even if it was, the bailout was passed during the Bush presidency, for those who remember.

But SPENT during Obama's regime!

It's not a regime, first off, it's a term.

Secondly, every economist at the time said that the bailout need to happen to prevent a financial meltdown. How the private company chose to spend it was up to them, unfortunately.

No US money should be used to support laws of other countries. If some judge, lawyer, politician, etc. wants Islamic laws, then they should move to an Islamic nation with those laws.

Reading the article it appears this is an attempt to make AIG competitive and profitable in the Muslim world. This has nothing to do with how the company acts in the US. Saudi Arabia is still an ally of the US and a major trading partner. It does have some strange ideas. If we are going to trade with them we need to understand those ideas.

I would point out that the first TARP which we are talking about here was a Republican plan, so this gets bipartisan support.

Personally, I think the US needs to get out of the Middle East. That requires alternate energy like natural gas, atomic, solar, wind, geothermal and the like. It requires letting Israel stand on it's own. But we are not yet in a position to do that.

I often sit and think what is the reason we are affraid to stand up in this country and the reason is prison or death are they not the same yes and no if you die for what you believe you are a martar if you stand up and goto prison you are supporter of the govts billion dollars a year industry.

Whenever possible I refuse to do any business with a recipient of TARP funds. I could save almost $100.oo a year by switching my insurance to 21st Century, but they were an AIG subsidiary during the meltdown. so #1. my no TARP rule, #2. my friends who have 21st Insurance say the customer service is the worst.

absolutely not. my taxes should support my beliefs: Christian, American and Constitutional.

Amen on all of the above~~

I don't think it needs to be explained, it was obviously a poor decision.

Sharia is essentially Jim Crow for non-Muslims. It is anathema to the United States Constitution, and is the basis for the slaughter of non-Muslims worldwide. There is NO WAY taxpayer money should be used to promote such an evil system.

What? You've got to be kidding!

Ok, so what this tells us is that we need to put a stop to it within the free market system if there is to be a stop to it at AIG.

I do take heart at the number of states that have passed a no shariah type of law for their states. OK, KS for ex.

Personally I am tired of hearing the people who are paying for things dont have standing to challenge them though.

Exactly. If the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" will not stand for Constitutional rights then individuals must have standing legally. The alternative is armed rebellion, which Thomas Jefferson supported. What will it be?

I think it is just about "tree watering" time myself.
