I mostly like motivational speakers. I was exposed to a lot of motivational speakers in the Marine Corps. Those speakers weren’t paid motivational speakers, but they were absolutely as good at motivational speaking as anyone I have seen over the past 25 years. I have been to see a man named Zig Ziglar a few […]
“According to Iran’s Islamic penal code, men convicted of adultery should be buried up to their waists and women up to their chests for stoning. Stones used should not be large enough to kill the person immediately.” “Iran has implemented sharia law since Iran’s 1979 revolution.” “We enforce our rules and regulations within the framework […]
What’s Next? Shariah-Compliant Hotels (complete with zakat payments to Islamic charities and EEOC violations)
The hospitality industry has generally been haram under Shariah-Compliant Finance, but that is changing. Now we’re seeing a movement to expand Shariah-Compliant hotels into the West. A close examination of the mechanisms and practices surrounding Shariah-Compliant hotels illustrates just exactly why the the barbaric Shariah code is almost completely incompatible with Western values and laws. […]
Patrick Goodenough of CNS News has produced an exceptionally well researched and written piece on the issue of apostasy from Islam under Shariah law. It should be required reading and it gives good insight into the hardened attitudes of Islamic clerics… http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=47401
Periodically, SFW shines the light on the non-financial aspects of shariah, since the purpose of shariah-compliant finance in the first place is to promote shariah. Today we have two stories about human rights abuses under shariah authorities. The first comes to us from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, where a couple was sentenced to death for eloping… http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7997749.stm […]
Open, tolerant, and generous Western nations are being taking advantage of, warns a former Muslim from the Middle East who now lives in America. Muslims in Arab countries as well as some born and bred in the West are aggressively pushing to impose Sharia law, or Islamic law, in countries such as Britain and the […]
Shariah is not just law in the Western sense. Unlike Western legal traditions, Shariah covers every aspect of life. At SFW, our mission is to focus on the financial and economic aspects of Shariah. Shariah Compliant Finance is the opposite of free enterprise, for reasons which we delve into on a daily basis on this […]
Several Tunisian politicians and members of non-governmental organisations expressed unhappiness with Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s visit to Tunisia this week. The protesters called the chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars “a symbol of intolerant salafist ideology.” Some Tunisians say that Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi expressed violent opinions concerning Tunisia’s achievements in the field of human and […]
Note that CNN has whitewashed this story, referring only to “Saudi” law, not even the euphemistic “Islamic” law. The word “Shariah,” which accurately describes the law which resulted in this verdict and the whole legal system and the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, is never mentioned. Why has CNN chosen to […]
Olivier Guitta of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies has written a sobering piece for the Middle East Times about the spread of Shariah. He gives summaries of developments in Pakistan, Italy, France, Great Britain and Switzerland, with a particular emphasis on family law and the rights of women. Of particular interest was this […]
As reported on the blog, Terror Trends Bulletin, the Jihadists have won in Somalia by forcing a deal similar to that which Pakistan signed with the Taliban not long ago. Add Somalia to the list of nations ruled by Shariah. It is very important to make note of the fact that these “peace” treaties with […]
Another excellent article by friend of SFW, Alyssa Lappen. http://www.rightsidenews.com/200902263802/homeland-security/the-evils-of-islamic-political-ideology-suppression-of-women.html
Islamist politicians in Indonesia are attempting to impose Shariah on the entire country, including non-Muslims, with legislation which would basically entrench Shariah standards for food products. Critics of the bill correctly point out that it will directly impact non-Muslims. No doubt, this is exactly why the Islamists have introduced the legislation. It should also be […]
The Result of Pakistan’s Separate Peace With The Taliban: The End of Women’s Rights
The article below from Dawn.com needs very little introduction. It vividly describes how the brutal Taliban use Shariah against women. This article should be made required reading for every financial CEO in the West that has decided to embrace Shariah through Shariah-Compliant Finance. http://dawn.net/wps/wcm/connect/dawn%20content%20library/dawn/news/pakistan/Whither-Swats-women–il
In Yemen, the parliament has set a new minimum age requirement for marriage. That age is 17. This should be seen as a progressive mood to protect the rights of women. Unfortunately, the promoters of Shariah do not see it that way at all. They are saying that the new age requirement violates Shariah law. […]
Iran’s Religious Persecution
Not enough attention is paid to the fact that Iran is ruled by Shariah and, as a result, women’s rights there are dismal, human rights overall are medieval and religious minorities are persecuted. The persecution of religious minorities is a requirement of Shariah. There can simply be no separation of the fact that Iran has […]
THIS is what the Archbishop of Canterbury wants to allow to infiltrate into British law? “According to a Council on Foreign Relations report, David Powers, a professor of Islamic law and history at Cornell University, explained that the Quran permits men to use physical force against disobedient wives in some circumstances. A woman may ask […]
Dr. Zudhi Jasser, M.D. has an excellent article detailing the abuse of women under Islamism. He puts the grizzly murder of Aasiya Hassan at the hands of her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, in proper perspective. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.2543/pub_detail.asp
Evidently Saudi Arabia doesn’t understand Islam
While reading the morning news on the internet about an hour ago, we came across an article in The Denver Post entitled Trying to Understand More About Islam’s Teachings, by Gail Schoettler, a former Lt. Governor of Colorado and U.S. ambassador. http://www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_11682250 Ms. Schoettler recalls the horrific case in which the Islamic Courts in Somalia executed […]
Saudi Arabia’s delegate to the UN Human Rights Council is a liar. He claimed yesterday that the violations of human rights that occur in Saudi Arabia occur due to isolated, individual and tribal factors and IN SPITE of “Islamic law.” This is complete and total nonsense. Everywhere in the world where there is Shariah, human […]
Not surprisingly, 2 of the top 3 nations for persecution of Christians practice Shariah. Most worrisome is the fact that Shariah actually seems to be spreading. In places like Somalia, it is now establishing a firm foothold as Jihadists consolidate their power… http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=87894
Life Under Shariah
Close shave The state-run Anatolia news agency says a Turkish man sentenced to public beheading in Saudi Arabia for insulting Islam, but pardoned by the king, has returned home. Anatolia says a large crowd welcomed 30-year-old barber Sabri Bogdan back to his hometown of Hatay, in southern Turkey, yesterday. King Abdullah pardoned Bogdan following requests […]
The Free Muslims Coalition posted an article on their web site on 6 January which we overlooked. Though this article is a few weeks old, its message is timeless and is well worth reading: “Islamic Government” is Un-Islamic and Shariah Law is Unjust http://www.freemuslims.org/document.php?id=459
The Third Jihad
“The Third Jihad” is an excellent and compelling sequel to “Obsession” that will be released in May. But you can view large portions of the documentary in four parts on YouTube:
WomenOntheWeb: Is the Banking Bailout Helping Fund Terror Groups?
A web site named Women on the Web just published an article related to Shariah Finance. It was not particularly well done unfortunately. Since I was quoted in the article (see link below) I felt the need to preface the link with some comments: As one of the people interviewed in this article, I feel […]
In northern Nigeria there are “Shariah Police” tasked with making sure that everyone and everything is “Shariah-Compliant.” These are their words, not ours. This is the same doctrine that the Jihadists are attempting to infiltrate into our society and culture through our financial back door–using the same terminology (Shariah-Compliant). The report from the BBC: Shariah […]
The true nature of Shariah
Though this blog is dedicated to Shariah-Compliant Finance, no discussion of Shariah-Compliant Finance can be complete without constant reminders of the brutal, primitive doctrine which underlies Shariah-Compliant Finance. Shariah is an all-encompassing code of life that covers and applies to all aspects of Islamic individuals, culture, society, finance and law. The nations that apply Shariah […]
In an episode that definitively proves that truth is stranger than fiction, the International Monetary Fund has congratulated Sudan for its fiscal restraint and efforts at improving tax collection… Sudan is one of three nations on earth that practice and enforce strict Shariah, the other two being Saudi Arabia and Iran. Sudan is a state […]
The good folks at Family Security Matters have an excellent interview posted this morning with Nonie Darwish, a former Muslim who has written a book on the threat of Shariah. The book is titled Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law. There are many informative aspects of this interview, but no passage […]
