BEFORE GELLER, THERE WAS GAFFNEY

This afternoon I was listening to Hugh Hewitt's show and his guest Frank Gaffney said that Citibank was a Sharia-compliant bank and we should all be very afraid. I guess this is what that lunatic Pam Geller had in mind. Gaffney wrote about this last Fall:

GAFFNEY: Treasury submits to Shariah
Tuesday, November 4, 2008
The Washington Times

The U.S. Treasury Department is submitting to Shariah - the seditious religio-political-legal code authoritative Islam seeks to impose worldwide under a global theocracy.

As reported in this space last week, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Robert Kimmitt set the stage with his recent visit to Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Persian Gulf states. His stated purpose was to promote the recycling of petrodollars in the form of foreign investment here.

Evidently, the price demanded by his hosts is that the U.S. government get with the Islamist financial program. ... Shariah-Compliant Finance serves as a leading edge of the spear for those seeking to insinuate Shariah into Western societies.
