Shariah Finance Dawah Continues Apace in Britain
On November 13, 2012 · In Britain, Creeping Shariah, Da'Wah, Islamic Banking, Islamic Finance, Shariah Banking, Shariah Finance, United Kingdom
One of the worst kept secrets in the world of Shariah Finance is the fact that, despite great efforts on the part of financial jihadists with obsequious assistance from British political leaders, demand for Shariah-compliant financial products and banking is lacking. Nevertheless, the Shariah Finance industry is continuing its dawah operations there… Sharia finance to [...]
FaithFreedom.org has an extensive file on the Murfreesboro mosque controversy and they have now expanded that file with information on the “money man” behind the mosque. For readers who are not familiar with the Murfreesboro mosque controversy, there is a huge 53,000 square foot mega-mosque being constructed just outside of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a town with [...]

Recently we had the opportunity to brief staff members from 10 Congressional offices on the threat of Shariah Finance. The briefing was recorded and we have posted the full 1-hour briefing here for SFW viewers… Shariah Compliant Finance and Financial Jihad
Malaysia is doubtless a center of Shariah Compliant Finance, certainly the leader in Asia and the Pacific Rim. One of Malaysia’s largest Shariah banks is Maybank Islamic. Maybank Islamic is making moves to become a global force for Shariah. They are setting up shop in neighboring Singapore and Indonesia, but also have their sights set [...]
Islamic Development Bank proposes “Mega Islamic Bank”

The Islamic Development Bank (IDB), the financial jihad wing of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (the world’s foremost Islamic imperialist organization), is planning something that sure sounds ominous: a “Mega Islamic Bank.” One of the stated purposes behind such an institution is to develop products to allow Shariah Finance to gain more ground in world [...]
Zakat goes to all sorts of purposes. One of them is to get poor, destitute non-Muslims to convert to Islam, as explained in the post linked below on Money Jihad blog. The gist of this is that when a Western financial institution facilitates Shariah Finance it is subsidizing the promotion of Islam and Shariah. That [...]
The New York Times published a disturbing article today in which illustrates the emergence of Shariah Finance globally at the expense of conventional finance. While Western lenders are simply not lending these days, sukuk (Islamic bond) issuances are soaring. The long-term impact of this is negative for Western Civilization because it facilitates the acceptance in [...]
Saudi Electricity Co., Saudi Arabia’s state-owned utility company, will aggressively market Shariah-compliant bonds to investors in non-Muslim nations around the world. This is part of an ongoing effort to have Shariah bonds, also known as sukuk, gain wide acceptance with non-Muslims around the world. At least some sukuk contracts involve zakat payments to Islamic charities, [...]
The governors of central banks and monetary authorities of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member countries met in Kuala Lumpur this month to discuss “Central Banking and Financial Sector Development.” Central to the discussion was the potential role of Shariah-compliant finance in contributing to economic growth and financial stability. Many myths have been propagated about [...]

Not surprisingly, the financial jihadists are promoting Shariah as the solution to America’s debt problems. We’ve seen this before. Back in 2008, in the wake of the subprime mortgage debacle and near-financial meltdown, the financial jihadists insisted that Shariah-compliant finance would have avoided the whole mess. Then, in 2009, defaulting on sukuk (Islamic bonds) just [...]
Given the rash of sukuk (Islamic bond) defaults which occurred in 2009, it is no surprise that an insurance entity backing sukuk would crop up and one has: The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC), a division of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), will soon be tasked with providing insurance on [...]

It pains us to have to post this article, but this is one of the most misguided examples of bad policy that we have ever come across.

Dubai leads financial jihad into Germany

Note in the article linked below two important aspects: First, Dubai Exports makes no secret about the fact that this is MISSIONARY work, something that has been pointed out over and over by other financial jihadists and on the pages of SFW. Second, note the disturbing demographic numbers for Germany supplied in the article as [...]
Unfortunately, the British continue to invite the financial jihadists into their investment houses and banks, determined that this will attract shiploads of petrodollars without impacting British culture, society and security. Before dismissing the notion that Shariah finance could introduce nefarious elements into a Western host nation, readers should remind themselves that the whole purpose of [...]
Kuwait Ambassador to Brazil Yusuf Ahmad Abdul-Samad delivered to Director of Latin American Institute for Islamic Studies Dr. Mohammad Al-Rahdi a contribution made by Kuwait Zakat House, last week.

Bank of Uganda, the republic’s central bank, has sent delegates to Indonesia to learn more about Shariah-Compliant Finance. Bank of Uganda is expecting the first shariah bank in the “pearl of Africa” to open in early 2012 after Uganda’s parliament passes a law permitting the establishment of Islamic banks. This is clearly a form of [...]

Dubai to export Shariah Finance to Europe

Dubai, scene of massive defaults on sukuk two years ago, is now set to export Shariah-Compliant Finance to Europe. Note that this dawah activity is run by an arm of the UAE government… Dubai’s financial services industry is fast emerging as a leading catalyst in the development of Islamic finance products and services to Europe, [...]
As if using NASA as a tool for “outreach” to the Islamic world was not enough, the U.S. government is now in the business of proselytizing for Shariah around the world. The U.S. Embassy in Dublin has sponsored a seminar on Muslim entrepreneurs and business in Ireland. A main point of the conference was the [...]
One of the largest Islamic charities in the United States, LIFE for Relief and Development, has used the ongoing crisis in Haiti to fund mosque expansion in Haiti. Haiti has almost no Muslims. Even Islamic sources, which are notorious for wildly overestimating Muslim population levels, put the figure at 3,000 Muslims in the Caribbean nation [...]
Hyperion Asset Management, a Brisbane, Australia-based money management firm is the responsible party for allowing the camel’s nose to get under the tent in Australia. “We are delighted to welcome the Hyperion Australian Equity Islamic Fund to Bahrain,” said Economic Development Board chief executive officer Shaikh Mohammed bin Essa Al Khalifa. “This reflects the growing [...]
A recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) report has argued that the rapidly growing Shariah banking sector may accelerate economic development of the Muslim world. We are a bit confused as to why this is, seeing as the Muslim world has been awash in petrodollars for generations, yet its overall economic development has been patchy at [...]
From the New York Times via Jihad Watch: Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo should not investigate the financing of the proposed Islamic community center near ground zero, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said on Tuesday, reiterating his support for the project. “I think it’s a terrible precedent,” he said. “You don’t want them investigating donations to [...]
New dots are emerging from the probe into who’s behind the Ground Zero mosque, and the radical Muslim Brotherhood is coming into view. While a couple of U.S. nonprofits — the Cordoba Initiative and its sister, the American Society for Muslim Advancement — are coordinating the New York project, they hardly give the full picture.

The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, Tennessee plans to build a 52,000 square foot mosque–in an area without a large Muslim population. This has local residents quite concerned.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Bermuda partner Colm Homan is confident that Shariah finance business between Bahrain and Bermuda can be up and running within 12 months. His firm recently carried out a study into the potential for Islamic finance in Bermuda and concluded that the market for Shariah-compliant products was very good. This begs the question: Why introduce [...]
