ISIS opens private bank for loans and damaged currency redemption in Mosul
2015-02-12
[IraqiNews.com] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) announced it had opened its own bank in the city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
for giving loans and redeeming mutilated (damaged) currency, in a move that raised concerns about financing the terrorist organization's businesses.

'Russia Today' website wrote, "ISIS opened a private bank to give loans and redeem mutilated currency," adding that, "This might be an ISIS scheme to control the funds in areas under its grip."

The website added, "ISIS' geographic expansion enables it to economically expand wide enough to open its privately-owned "Islamic bank" in Mosul; its purpose is to give out loans and to replace mutilated currency."

"This step raises concerns because the bank will be used in financing the organization's business," it stated, pointing out that, "According to press reports, the bank is witnessing high demand in areas under ISIS control, that's due to poverty among citizens who are being exploited by the terrorist group offering them loans for nothing in return."

It also said, "While Iraqi economic medium is discussing the repercussions of establishing this bank, there are concerns about large amounts of Iraqi currency accumulating in ISIS' hands, especially with four billion dinars received by citizens from the Iraqi government as monthly salaries in areas under the group's control."
