Bill Clinton was paid 5.6 million dollars and the Clinton Foundation received millions more from GEMS Education, a Dubai-based company that teaches Sharia Law. Gems bills itself as fully Sharia Finance compliant, which means it’s subject to zakat (religious tax) of which 1/8th must go to funding Islamic Jihad. Dubai financed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and is currently funding the Nusra Front, a former Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria. Clinton served as an honorary chairman of Gems from 2011 to 2014.
In 2014, Clinton banked 2.1 million from Gems which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We don’t know if or how much Clinton made in 2015 because Hillary has not released her tax returns for that year. Gems has 250,000 students in 170 countries. They are the only approved private school in the ultra strict Saudi Arabia, They also teach Sharia Law throughout the Middle East and also has two schools in Chicago, the home base of America’s most radical Muslim.
Saudi Arabia is where Wahabism, the strictest form of Sharia, is observed. The Middle Eastern kingdom bars women from driving cars, requires women to wear the strictest form of the hijab, which covers everything but the eyes and hands. Gay men and women are persecuted in Saudi Arabia.
Counter-terror analyst Stephen Coughlin asked of Clinton:
“Why would Bill Clinton be participating in programs that teach Sharia in foreign countries where that is the specific objective of the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and al-Qaeda?”
He was merely following the Clinton Doctrine, “Money above all else.”
At the GEMS Jumeirah Primary School in Abu Dhabi, the website promotes Islam as a central tenet of its curriculum. “Our aim is teach all Muslim students the pillars of Islam, Islamic faith and morals, enabling them to efficiently apply them to their lives. To increase the knowledge of Islam we share with the children, the stories of prophets, manners of living a Muslim’s life, the five pillars of Islam.”
The Dubai firm has donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation website. GEMS was an official sponsor of the 2013 and 2014 Clinton Global Initiative. Its Indian-born CEO Sunny Varkey attended both years.
And the Varkey Foundation, named after the CEO, contributed $250,000 to $500,000 to the foundation.
Varkey publicly claimed Bill was the “honorary chairman” of his foundation. But Bill and Hillary report in their joint federal tax returns the annual payments came from the for-profit GEMS Education company.
