Terror-linked CAIR claims it is discrimination based on religion or ethnicity. Well, they are partly right. Muslims are required to donate part of their income, ‘zakat,’ to their mosque and/or to Muslim charities, part of which invariably finds its way back to Muslim terrorist groups overseas.
Detroit News The Council on Anti-American Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) is asking the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to investigate the complaints and the Arab-American Civil Rights League in Dearborn is pursuing a lawsuit against major banks. “We see a type of pattern taking place in the Muslim/Arab community,” Dawud Walid, executive director of CAIR–MI, said Wednesday. “Bank accounts are being closed with no real justification (It’s justified, but maybe the don’t want to hurt your wittle Muslim sensibilities) so it appears on the surface that there could be some sort of bias involved.”
One of the latest reported incidents, according to CAIR–MI, involved Alif Arabic, a business described as teaching Arabic to American citizens online. Officials there were notified May 30 by JPMorgan Chase their bank account would be terminated within 10 days. JPMorgan Chase officials did not detail why, according to the letter.
When an Alif Arabic employee asked the bank for clarification, they were told an analytical tool “alerted them that Alif’s account could pose a possible risk,” the letter read.
Walid said such a move could suggest discrimination based on religion and ethnicity. “We need answers and the bank is not giving answers,” he said.
How about this Walid?
Money Jihad Banks have a responsibility under federal law to deny account services to customers who are at risk for funding terrorism, money laundering, or evading economic sanctions. Banks can’t allow customers to send money to countries that lack safeguards against such activities either.
Accordingly, JPMorgan Chase has closed an unspecified number of accounts that are at risk for abuse or criminal behavior by customers who are, according to the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Muslims or Arabs.
The Arab-American Civil Rights League also alleges 50 “improper” account closures by banks such as Flagstar, Charter One, and Comerica.
Opponents of such bank closures would be better served by proposing changes to federal law rather than threatening lawsuits against banks that are simply carrying out their duties under the existing rules.
Emily Smith, a JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman, said privacy reasons prevent the company from discussing details of its customer relationships. However, “on occasion, Chase determines it can no longer maintain a customer’s account but those decisions are not based on the customer’s religion, ethnicity or any other similar basis.”
Meanwhile, the Arab-American Civil Rights League plans to file a lawsuit after nearly 50 incidents of individual and business accounts being closed.

It’s time America to kick them muslims out o f the WEST
Sonia says
In addition to the terror support, many Mualims demand Shariah compliant services from banks. Islam, as a political and social ideology, has its own rules for banking. This is just an excuse for opening their own Sharia compliant banks in the US. They not only want their own laws, they want their own banks and economy in West countries they invade in their conquests.

I wish the Govt. would start deportaion next. Banking is a “good” first start. If the present US moslem population is 64 % first generation moslems ,that could put a big dent in the problem.
eib says
What has light to do with darkness?
The financial institutions have every right to choose their customers.
They have every right to reject the enemy.
And the enemy is Islam.
dragonfFIRE01 says
don’t you know that t he law doesn’t apply to muslims and they can do whatever they wish?
Susan K says
CAIR probably wants access to the info that led to the closure of their friends’ banking accounts.

Isn’t it the case that traditionally you gave part of your income to the Mosque, to feed and clothe the worshippers who were poor and could not feed and clothe themselves.
Well these days all these ‘poor’ worshippers are on benefits; all the more pounds and dollars towards funding the jihadists then.

Why in the hell were they ever allowed into this country in the first place?

I can’t wait to hear what Complete Asshole Idiot League aka CAIR, will say when they find out that 50 Muslims or Arabs, doesn’t make up the majority of Muslim clients for these banks. How will the Complete Asshole Idiot League (CAIR) try to manipulate this into racism or discrimination even though these banks will have 1000’s of other Muslim clients.
I love that these twatwaffle Muslims keep whining and having temper tantrums over stupid crap like this. Keep up the great work CAIR!! The more you idiots put yourselves in the public eye with your pathetic attempts of blaming everyone else you Muslims are goat enjoying, bloodthirsty paedophiles, the more people see how pathetic Islam and it’s prophet “Mo’Honkey the rapist” is. Keep poking the hornets nest and the sleeping dragons, because it’s going to be AWESOME when the hornets and dragons wake up!
perceptor1 says
By supporting any Moslem business, we are supporting jihad against us. All Moslems are supporting jihad against kafirs when they give zakat.
Zakat NEVER helps kafirs.

Where there is smoke there is fire as the saying goes. Without a doubt JP Morgan had their reasons why they closed those accounts because Im guessing there has been some kind of suspicious activity going on where those accounts have been red flagged. The banks here Down Under plus many other financial institutions have implemented very strict Anti Money Laundering and Terrorism Funding compliance laws over the past 5-10 years or so. Another strict measure the whole world has to comply with (just like travelling on airplanes) just because of the biggest nusence of this day and age – Muzbums.
BNI im assuming the US have to do similar, as in, stricter controls and monitoring around Anti Money Laundering & Muzzie Funding? 🙂 🙂 and looking out for suspicious financial activity.
BareNakedIslam says
AH, yes, the government cracked down on bank transfers to ‘terrorism breeding grounds’ right after 9/11. I’m surprised BO hasn’t rescinded it yet.
