I have reverted multiple edits by 62.203.252.7, as they appear controversial (i.e. not supported by any ghits I could find), are laden with POV prose and adjectives (e.g. "unjust"), and are completely, 100% not cited, ref'd or sourced in any way. "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." Anyone interested in contributing to Wiki articles would be well served by first reviewing WP:Verifiability.

I have removed the reference to Nada working for German military intelligence. This was an unsubtantiated assertion made by a French journalist and, as Nada as pointed out, he was a child during these years so this cannot have been true. I also removed the reference to Genoud as a founder of the Al Taqwa Bank. There is absolutely not a shred of evidence that this is true and the founding documents for the bank have been circulating for years where Genoud's name is not mentioned. Also, I took out the comment about the Bin Laden family, based on Kommissar article, that since the bank was supposedly "dispersing funds to Osama Bin Laden", this somehow implicates his family. Since this has never been proven publicly, why is there a presumption that the shareholders would have known? Makes no sense. Sgmiller 09:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I do not understand what does it mean that the site is not Youssef Nada's biography. There is far more information about Al Taqwa in the interviews on the site than all the other partial articles cited. Furthermore, this is Youssef Nada's official site, maintained, operated and written fully by him (as you can check through whois).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.76.171.56 (talk • contribs).
What I meant by my edit summary was that this article is not a biography of Youssef Nada, and hence his website (which so far as I can tell contains no content relating to Al Taqwa Bank) is not an appropriate link here. Ford MF 15:41, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
The site contains over 2 hours of interviews with the Newsweek authors that you cite a lot of which regards the Al Taqwa Bank and provides direct information from the sources. Watch the interviews and you will find literally all of the misinformation you present in this wiki answered directly from Youssef Nada and the authors of your sources(which is taken mainly from the interviewers present in the movies on the site). Indeed, you may be able to get a sense of what type of agenda the network of Isikoff, Besson, Brisard, Olimpio et al. have when reporting on the topic. You could also compare it with the documentary broadcasted which gives quite a different picture of the interview.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.77.155.6 (talk • contribs).
