Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Assyrians file suit against Turkish-Kuwaiti bank for funding jihad terrorism

Jun 21, 2016 1:45 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

An Assyrian group that fled the war in Syria has filed a lawsuit in North Carolina against the Turkish-Kuwaiti Bank for funding jihad terrorism.

The terrorism fundraising campaigns by the bank (and its parent financial institutions) were allegedly organized under the pretext of funding humanitarian aid, and the article below points out that “the Turkish connection is massive.”

Among the many jihad terror groups identified in the lawsuit that were being supported are the Islamic State and the al-Nusra Front.

It is no secret that major jihad-funding groups disguise themselves as aid groups while bankrolling terror orgsanizations across the Middle East and beyond. Recall the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror funding trial in U.S. history, which unveiled the charity’s material support for Hamas and also a list of approximately 300 “unindicted co-conspirators” that included CAIR and other mainstream Muslim organizations operating in North America.

It is outrageous to hear the continuous hokum about gun control, curbing American foreign policy and/or wording that might upset and provoke jihadists, as well as the Christian right being blamed for jihad terror, and even the Catholic Church being similarly blamed — by a Florida bishop. Few are willing to confront the alarming reality of the existence of a mammoth network of jihadists that operates on different strats — from the lone wolf who pledges allegiance to the Islamic State to the so-called moderate Muslim groups that claim to represent the interests of mainstream Westerners; and from Islamic states like Turkey and Saudi Arabia that fund jihadist wars and the Wahhabi ideology to the foreign mullahs and jurists who work to propagate the Sharia globally.

The following article concludes that analysts expect the case filed by the Assyrian group “to grow and the connection between Turkey and the financing of terrorist groups revealed.” We may hope that it sets a valuable precedent.

“Assyrian Group Sues Turkish-Kuwaiti Bank for Funding Terrorism”, AINA News, June 21, 2016:

Assyrians who fled the war in Syria filed a lawsuit against a bank which is largely owned by Kuwait Finance House and the Turkish Authority for Foundations, based in Turkey. The lawsuit accuses the bank, Kuveyt Turk Katilim Bankasi A.S. (KTKB), and its parent financial institutions of funding terrorism.

The lawsuit was filed in a court in North Carolina, United States. The organization behind the the lawsuit is called St. Francis Assisi and was formed on June 6, 2016. The Christian organization is represented by Mogeeb Weiss in San Francisco but Tom Creal seems to be the one behind the case.

A reporter for the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Tolga Tanis, interviewed Tom Creal and published a story in Turkish. According to Tanis’ article, titled Turkey and the Terrorist Financing, Tom Creal formed a team of eight employees that will prepare the lawsuit against KTKB, which is identified as the hub of the financing of several terrorist groups in Syria. Among the terror organizations mentioned being supported are the Islamic State (IS), Al-Nusra Front and several other radical Islamic terror groups.

In the lawsuit there is a plea for compensation of 75,000 dollars per person. Creal is a financial expert and worked in Afghanistan as a reporter for the UN until 2009. After his mission in Afghanistan he left the United Nations and formed the organization The Hunters Group, to work for states and civil society organizations with the task to hunt black money.

According to Tolga Tanis, the evidence against KTKB is very strong. Via social media, KTKB have asked people to donate money to several terrorist groups in Syria through the Bank and its accounts. The fund-raising campaigns are said to have been organized under the pretext of funding humanitarian aid.

The Turkish connection is massive. The Vice Chairman of KTKB is Adnan Ertem, who is also the head of the state authority Directorate General Of Foundations in Turkey…

      Sums it up very well!
      Also be aware of politicians who talk about Islam as an Abrahamic faith. (e.g. Australian Andrew Macleod) The God of Jews and Christians is a TRIUNE God: “Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of ABRAHAM , the God of ISAAC, and the God of JACOB.” (OT) and “I am the God of ABRAHAM , and the God of ISAAC, and the God of JACOB? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” (NT)
      This might very well be the ultimate offense to Muslims, and it should be stated every time the God of the bible and the moon God, Allah, of of the Quran and the Muslims are equated.

        PS:
        The crescent moon is an apt symbol of Islam: no warmth or light in itself except what is bestowed upon it by human hearts, and the Ramadan is celebrated under the auspices of the moon.
        The symbol of Islam could just as aptly be a boa constrictor or an anaconda – and anybody’s affection for it is doomed to end in a fatal embrace. –
        Muslims are moonstruck and only a separation from the gravitation that binds them to this symbol of their mother will restore them to sanity.

    What ever happened to, “supporting terrorism is a crime?”

      Assyrians should also sue the US, France and UK governments for funding, arming and training the evil and barbaric islamic jihadists that are killing Christians and other minorities in Syria and elsewhere.

    An Assyrian group that fled the war in Syria has filed a lawsuit in North Carolina against the Turkish-Kuwaiti Bank for funding jihad terrorism. I AM IN TOTAL SUPPORT OF THIS GROUP. NOW IF THE UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION HAVE THE BALLS, THIS IS THEIR TIME TO OFFER SUPPORT FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE.

      It is perhaps through lawsuits that we can finally end the support of terrorism by Muslims (and their useful idiots) who facilitate the murders.

    Finally people with spine. This is a wonderful initiative. Make the culprit pay. Why don’t they include Obama support for AlQaeda/ISIS with American Money?

    Turkey and Saudi Arabia should both be made to stop funding terrorist organization and America and Europe should have the same restrictions on them.

      True. Assyrian Christians and other minorities should sue Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, UK and France. All these countries are arming the jihadists that are murdering and persecuting Christians.
      Turkey+Saudi Arabia+Qatar+USA+UK = ISIS

    I recently asked a top person of the World Food Program, WFP, if he knew of any Muslim aid organization that reached out to everyone, just like the WFP does. He shook his head and said he only knows of them helping other Muslims. He thought it was forbidden for Muslims to help Jews or Christians or non Muslims generally.

    How many people understand this. Muslim charity is not for all.

      Some while back there was a terrible famine in Southern Sudan, aggravated by civil war . The Muslim Red Crescent flew thousands of tons of food into the region bur REFUSED to feed non Muslims. Christians and animists were told that if they wanted food, they had to convert to Islam.
      Muslims are sick, twisted, perverted shyte bags like the so called ” prophet” mad Mohammed of Mecca.

      He is right. Muslims are allowed to only help other muslims as for non-muslims they are commanded by islam to convert, enslave or kill non-muslims but non-muslims don’t know this at all. Non-muslims usually project their various humanistic, non-islamic beliefs onto the muslims thinking that islam is just like any other religion and that muslims also believe “humanism” or helping other human beings etc. That is one big lie because islam is totally different as it teaches and commands muslims to enslave and even kill non-muslims.
