One of America’s, and the entire West’s, great heroes against Shariah is David Yerushalmi, who, among many other things, is General Counsel of the Center for Security Policy. Mr. Yerushalmi is involved in important lawsuits against CAIR and the US Treasury Department for AIG’s promotion of Shariah through its Shariah-Compliant insurance division, AIG Takaful. Today, [...]

Shariah-compliant firms donate 1/40, or 2.5%, of their assets through [...]
This week, CNN and Money magazine ran an article focusing on the role of faith in the personal finances of certain families. In the article which they published which deals with a Muslim family, we have discovered a whole slew of questions with regard to matters outside of personal finance which, not surprisingly, the lapdogs [...]
“The United States will likely sanction a newly opened Gaza Strip-based bank said to have Hamas members on its board of directors, say former government officials.

The Washington Times has a good piece on Shariah-Compliant Finance this morning, authored by Simon Roughneen. Roughneen did a good job of covering the issues involved, though I wish he had mentioned the system of zakat by name, because that is one of the aspects that makes Shariah-Compliant Finance so worrisome. When slimey enemies of [...]
Among the investors who fell victim to the Arab eastern Jerusalem Ponzi scheme – violating religious law in the process – were leading Islamic figures in eastern Jerusalem, Hamas members, former Orient House officials, Fatah leaders, and top personnel in the Islamic organizations on the Temple Mount. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/130418

Patrick Poole has posted an excellent, but disturbing, piece over on Pajamas Media about Muslim cleric Salah Sultan’s recent appearance on Egyptian television warning America that, in addition to the wrath of allah, one of these days we’re going to “suffer” more deaths than HAMAS is enduring in Gaza right now. http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/top-american-islamic-cleric-threatens-us-on-egyptian-tv/ There IS a Shariah-Compliant [...]

In April of 2008, I attended Harvard Law School’s celebration of “Islamic Finance.” This event has been labeled by others as “shilling for shariah” at Harvard and, I must say, that is exactly what it was.
