American International Group’s involvement with the Islamic insurance market at the same time it is taking government bailout funds has provoked the ire of a Christian rights group in the U.S.
The Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center filed suit against the federal government claiming the government’s loan to insurance giant ÌìÃÀÍøÕ¾´«Ã½´«Ã½ is illegal because, it claims, ÌìÃÀÍøÕ¾´«Ã½´«Ã½’s takaful sales “promote Islam and are anti-Christian.”
ÌìÃÀÍøÕ¾´«Ã½´«Ã½, which is not being sued, declined comment on the suit.
The suit protests the use of taxpayer funds to acquire ownership of a business that “intentionally promotes, endorses, supports, and funds Shariah-based Islamic religious practices.”
The lawsuit was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Kevin J. Murray, a former Marine infantryman who served two tours of duty in Iraq.
