No Truth to Claim that ISIS is Funded by Illicit US Art Sales

There is no Truth to Claim that ISIS is Funded by Illicit US Art Sales ('US Files Court Case Against Images on an ISIS Computer' CCP 26 Dec 2016) 

Yet this year, the Antiquities Coalition and other anti-art trade interest groups pummeled Congress for months with allegations that looted art provided billions of dollars to fund terrorists across the Middle East, in order to pass H.R. 1493/S.1887, The Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act, in April 2016. Any money at all contributed to ISIS is a bad thing, of course, but so far, there is no evidence that any money at all has comes from sales of ISIS looted art in the US. It appears that the lawsuit, like the Congressional initiatives to tie the art trade to terrorism, is another example of how misleading information is used – at great cost – to influence the unsuspecting American public.
