Yes of course. Does the US government bailout churches? No. Would it? No. Does it bail out Christian charities? No. So, on constitutional grounds, this is an outrage. Then there's the issue of laws relating to charities. Is it OK to subsidize terrorism? No. Do Islamic charities subsidize terrorism? Often (maybe most of the time) yes, if not directly, then by propagating Islamist principles such as the necessity of Sharia. Can such an "investment product" comply with the transparency required by charities? Well, maybe in theory, but it makes transparency much more difficult. Is there any reason why the Muslims cannot give charity without the institutional apparatus? No reason. So, this whole thing is just creeping Sharia. It has symbolic significance as well as practical significance.

So this is outrageous…

AIG has benefited from two major bailout agreements with the U.S. government giving $152.5 billion in taxpayer dollars to the company.

But this apparently isn’t, because you lot only noticed when the MooseLimbs got involved.

If “Christian compliant” anything meant that a portion of all money went to ONLY Christian charities, I’m sure Su would have a problem with that.

I have no trouble with Christians helping poor people. I have a big problem with them telling me how to live my life. Same with the Muslims. But of course this is going to slide right past you, since according to the wingnut groupthink I’m a terrorist-communist-fascist-MooseLimb-Nazischwein.
