A regime-affiliated religious foundation in Iran has boosted $500,000 the bounty it had offered for the killing of British author Salman Rushdie to $3.3 million from $2.8 million, after protests around the world over alleged insults to the prophet Muhammad, who is considered holy in the Islamic world. The 15 Khordad Foundation reportedly will pay […]

The web site Favstocks.com has published what amounts to propaganda for the financial jihadists. In an online article published on July 1st, the site “explained” “Islamic investing,” touting it as “socially responsible.” This affords us a teaching moment. We will go through the various aspects of the article and deconstruct the propaganda: ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• “Islamic fund […]

Financial jihadists have long held up Dubai as an example of the marriage of modernity and Shariah Islam. Of course, Dubai’s status as a world-class financial center suffered a severe setback when Dubai World defaulted on its Islamic bonds. Nevertheless, just last week, Dubai proudly dubbed its new tallest building, another modern marvel (though there’s […]
Since Shariah Law has such a great track record with women’s rights, it’s only natural that the Shariah Finance industry would target wealthy women in countries like Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia… Excerpts and LINK: A Cayman island based wealth management firm has established a fund that will target female investors in the Gulf.

Regular readers of SFW may recall our reports a few months ago about Hizb ut-Tahrir. Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international organization dedicated to the establishment of a worldwide Muslim Caliphate ruled by Shariah law. The organization held an event in Chicago calling for an end to capitalism and replacing free enterprise with an Islamic system […]
Recent moves in Indonesia, including plans by one province to stone adulterers to death, have raised concerns about the reputation of the world’s most populous Muslin country as a beacon of moderate Islam.

Raymond Ibrahim is absolutely one of America’s foremost experts on Jihad. His book, “The Al Qaeda Reader,” is especially a real eye-opener in terms of the critical role that Shariah plays in Jihad.

In what is most assuredly a case of semi-orchestrated “lawfare,” a Muslim couple in Canada has declared it a human rights violation that they were served salami containing pork in a grocery store. The grocery store chain offered to give them cash and make a donation to a charity of their choice to settle the […]
There are two news stories out of Malaysia this week which, at first glance, appear unrelated. But they’re not unrelated. They have a common thread: Shariah. The first item is about a 32-year old woman in Malaysia who was sentenced to caning by a Shariah court (a form of flogging) for drinking a beer: http://www.watoday.com.au/breaking-news-world/model-whipping-sparks-debate-in-malaysia-20090726-dxac.html […]

Ever so often it’s useful to remind ourselves of the fact that Shariah isn’t just some abstract, remote system isolated to a few Middle Eastern nations. It’s a global threat. We’ve recently seen numerous reports of Shariah courts operating in Britain. We’ve recently witnessed a Jihadi organization hold a conference in Chicago to support the […]

Sudan has been in the news for quite some time now due to the horrible genocide which has been systematically committed there for decades. This has been a cause that many prominent Westerners, including entertainers and actors, have championed in recent years. Sudan has also been the target of an effective divestment campaign. Unfortunately, there […]
The Irish Times published a short article overnight which highlighted a growing problem in the West: child abductions in which the children who are abducted are brought by a parent (usually a father) to that parent’s foreign country of origin. It has proven exceedingly difficult to do anything about these cases, especially in nations in […]
Yesterday a British newspaper attempted to spell out for its readers just what Shariah is. Their efforts were not successful. In the article, author Nick Harries, claims that in Saudi Arabia and Sudan, Shariah exists alongside secular law. This is completely incorrect. Shariah is the full and final authority in Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Iran […]
The article linked below is obviously not directly related to Shariah Finance, but it is an example of Shariah courts operating with authority in a supposedly “secular” nation, with that nation’s courts basically rubber stamping a ruling by Shariah authorities. In this case, the ruling involved burying a man as a Muslim, when his family […]

Iran is widely known as the nation which dominates Shariah-Compliant Finance. Iran has more Shariah-Compliant assets in banks and other institutions than any other nation on earth. This is not surprising since Iran is one of just three nations on earth that observes Shariah as the total rule of law. So what are some of […]
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 […]

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 […]
