Brother Habib,

When you say "Many of your distant relatives have needed our services and we are glad to help them", you should go on and give examples of which of 'my distant relatives' you are talking about. I hope no relative of mine, distant or close, would need to seek support from dirty money!

Your attitude is the type that encourages public officers to embezzle public funds with the 'justification'  that "A sheep grazes where it is tethered". Human beings reducing themselves to the level of a sheep in order to justify their crime.

But we are humans and therefore must have consciences. We cannot behave like sheep or zombies just because we find it most convenient! I wonder why you find it justifiable to call for the boycott of certain institutions, like McDonalds for example, because of their policies in Arab lands but can't seem to extended that justification to issues like the one at hand. I say it is because of sheer hypocrisy! Principles should be consistent and not waived in some instances and maintained in others.

Regards.

Kabir.
