An omission of fact is a purposeful
misrepresentation of fact. In a court of law, district attorneys can be
severely disciplined for allowing such to happen especially when the results
are the successful prosecution of an innocent person. Defense attorneys also
have to be careful that they too do not fall under this ominous ethical charge.
The federal government has
regulations regarding the concept of omission of fact, much of it is found in U.S. Code: Title 22 - FOREIGN
RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE. Keep this topic in mind as the concept of
foreign relations is foremost in this topic!
In September, Yale University’s
president Peter Salovey presented to the public that it was a recipient of
$10,000,000 from Abdallah S. Kamel of the Dallah Albaraka (aka Al Baraka) Group
in Saudi Arabia for the establishing of an Islamic Law Center in the Law School
at Yale which shall bare the name: Abdallah S. Kamel Islamic Law Center.
According to Mr. Salovey this center exists for the purpose of disseminating
“knowledge and insights for the benefit of scholars and leaders all over the
world.” This makes the center within the Law School at Yale an educational
entity where classes and research will occur, and for the purpose of this
commentary shall hereafter be refered to as a “Sharia School.”
Mr. Salovey’s announcement of
Yale’s acceptance of these funds did not inform the public that Abdallah Kamel
of several important points. The first
of Mr. Salovey’s omissions of fact
regarding the “gift” of $10,000,000 being that these funds come directly from a
person who has relationships with terrorists and/or terror financing and that
this information is publically available to anyone!
Omission 1: Several
articles have been written about the father of Abdallah (aka Abdullah) Saleh
Kamel, being the real donor of the funds. Saleh Abdallah (aka Abdullah) Kamel
of the Dallah Albaraka Group was listed on the Golden Chain financers of Al
Qaeda. A lawsuit brought by the families of the victims of 9/11 named those on
the Golden Chain as defendents. Saleh Kamel was released from the suit due to
his living outside the personal
jurisdiction of the federal court. Information was presented in the case
that directly tied his company Dallah Albaraka Group to funding one of the
terrorists on the planes before the attack.
Omission 2: Abdallah S. Kamel as chief executive of the
Dallah Albaraka Group also bears responsibility for its financing of another
federally identified terrorist group, Hamas. According to a report filed with
the President of the United Nations Security Council in December 2002:
al Aqsa International Bank, was described as the “financial branch of
Hamas” by American authorities. … The
bank was established with $20 million in capital by several prominent financial
groups or institutions, notably the Jordan Islamic Bank and the Saudi Dallah al Baraka. The Jordan Islamic
Bank is the property of the Dallah al
Baraka Group, led by Saleh Abdallah Kamel, shareholder of the same bank
Usama bin Laden funded in Sudan via local trustees and companies.
These
two omissions of fact enable it to
seem legal that Yale is working with good people for the establishing of a
Shariah School at Yale. However, it is difficult to hide relationships with
those who finance the outright slaughter of thousands.
Yale
took down its public relations page on the Abdallah S. Kamel Islamic Law Center
when this article was first proposed and the editor of the Connecticut Law tribune stated he would publish it. That site was taken down after this
writer was informed of the acceptance of this article. Interestingly Yale had
one more page not available to Google which states that Yale has been in a
relationship with Abdallah S. Kamel for years as they have funded lecture
series on Islamic law at Yale. Really? Yale University officials never read the
Wall Street Journal which wrote articles about Saleh Kamel and the Golden
Chain? Yale officials never heard of the Holy Land Foundation trial which was
this nation’s largest terror financing trial ever!? Worse yet, Yale officials accepting
funds from Kamel had never questioned any of his banks interactions with
terrorists that were noted by our Senate Banking Committee!
