The Wall Street Journal Weighs In On Al Goreeza: Inconvenient Truths About Al Jazeera…and about Dow Jones too
We’re glad to see that the Wall Street Journal has weighed in on the nefarious aspects of Al Jazeera, echoing what we reported here on SFW last week: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2013/01/03/al-gore-sells-out-to-qatar-state-owned-al-jazeera-buys-current-tv/ It’s worth pointing out some of the highlights in the Journal’s article: …the network reflects the interests of the government that runs it—making it akin to […]
Does Your Financial Institution Participate in Shariah Compliant Finance?
The most common requests we receive here at SFW are questions as to whether banks or brokerage houses “are Shariah-compliant?” As a result of these numerous inquiries, for the past several weeks, we have carefully compiled a list of financial institutions active in the USA that have some form of tie to Shariah Compliant Finance. […]
Shariah Finance Watch editor briefs Congressional staffers on Shariah-Compliant Finance
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
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 […]
Euromoney.com is once again giving out awards for compliance to the financial wing of the barbaric, medieval doctrine known as Shariah. They have a whole host of awards to dole out (no fewer than 19 awards in the field of “Islamic” finance), which probably indicates that these awards are a convoluted effort to drum up […]
Dow Jones has been shilling for Shariah-Compliant Finance for some time now. After all, the Dow Jones Islamic Index employed the Jihadist Shariah scholar Taqi Usmani as chair of its Shariah advisory board for a long time before rival Investors Business Daily exposed them. Now the flagship Wall Street Journal has published a piece on […]
In the middle of last year, New Jersey-based Javelin Investment Management announced it would offer an ETF based on the Dow Jones Islamic Market Titans 100. http://www.kippreport.com/2010/02/plus-ca-exchange/
From time to time, readers will email us asking for a list of Shariah-Compliant companies. A complete version of such a list is extremely difficult to come by. Some of the better sources for such a listing would be the annual and semi-annual reports of the various Shariah-Compliant investment funds. These reports usually include portfolio […]
QInvest and Fortis Bank Nederland to create first Shariah Compliant “Mezzanine” Shipping Fund.
The Netherlands has now joined the Shariah nightmare as one of that country’s biggest banks, Fortis, is teaming up with QInvest of Qatar to launch a fund to target financing opportunities in the marine transportation industry. This actually gives SFW the opportunity to comment on the wider implications of Shariah Compliant Finance and some of […]
Dow Jones Indexes is set to launch four new indexes for the Middle East and North Africa region, giving investors access to both conventional and Shariah compliant indexes.

The Dow Jones Islamic Index, a product which has already caused embarrassment for Dow Jones when it was fully disclosed that the hateful Jihadist Mufti Taqi Usmani sat atop its Shariah advisory board last year, is now set to expand by 11 countries to 68 total nations. Nothing is more illustrative of the march of […]
We wonder if anyone at Dow Jones even knows what Shariah is… “Dow Jones has launched a new Islamic index, which has been simultaneously licensed to an exchange-traded fund (ETF) provider in the US. The Dow Jones Islamic Market International Titans 100 Index will track 100 companies outside the US which have passed sharia screening […]
Shariah-Compliant Finance as a Safe Haven: Myth and Reality
Promoters of Shariah-Compliant Finance routinely violate the trust of investors when they proclaim that investing according to shariah principles has provided a safe haven from the recent and current financial crisis. Could any other sector get away with such lies? The lies emanate from the entire range of shariah practitioners, from individual investors themselves all […]
The Washington Times weighs in on Shariah-Compliant Finance
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 […]
HSBC’s Shariah Man
Two days ago we linked to an article about financial giant HSBC’s continued and growing embrace of Shariah-Compliant Finance: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2009/02/25/hsbc-expands-its-embrace-of-barbarism/ Today we would like to elaborate on HSBC’s connections in this area by focusing on the firm’s close ties to a creepy Mufti who has no business being associated with any respected Western financial institution. […]
Dow Jones Islamic Market Index marks 10th Anniversary
The Dow-Jones Islamic Market Index is 10 years old. Excuse us if we decline to join in the celebration of one of America’s financial icons helping our enemy’s threat doctrine infiltrate our financial system. Dow Jones’ due diligence with regard to that entity has been nothing short of LOUSY. Case in point: they brought on […]
Just when we were glad that some in the media were taking a critical look at Shariah-Compliant Finance, Barron’s comes up with a real stinker–an article which amounts to a celebration and promotion of Shariah. As usual, this occurs without the article actually ever defining Shariah or identifying any of its characteristics. This probably should not […]

Friday, 28 November 2008 12:30pm Dow Jones Indexes has launched the Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) ASEAN Index – the first of its kind that represents the performance of Shari’ah-compliant companies in six of the 10 member states of […]
The Dow Jones Islamic Market Index is expanding. The make up of this index is curious indeed and seems to reflect the ambition on the part of the sharia Islamists to expand the influence of sharia into non-Muslim countries. Countries like Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, South Africa, […]
