Horizontal and Vertical Integration, Shariah-style
If any of you had any doubts as to the true purpose of Shariah Finance (to promote Shariah itself), the article linked below should go a long way toward convincing you. A large Shariah bank in Kuala Lumpur (one of Shariah’s epicenters), CIMB Islamic, has announced a new financing program aimed specifically at small and […]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blasts free market capitalism at OIC economic conference
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was a featured speaker at the Organization of the Islamic Conference economic summit about which we reported on 9 November: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2009/11/09/islamic-state-leaders-converge-in-istanbul-for-economic-summit/ In his address to the summit, which some so-called US “allies,” Ahmadinejad called for a replacement of capitalism by an Islamic system of economics. This makes sense since Iran has […]
The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Fort Hood Jihadist, Nidal Malik Hasan wired money to Pakistan. This obviously raises some major red flags since Hasan apparently had no relatives there and Pakistan is the epicenter for Jihad and a focus point for many Islamic charities which fund Jihad. Excerpts from the DMN article: Authorities […]
Noted author and columnist Ralph Peters, who is also a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, recently appeared on Fox News to discuss the terrible Jihadist massacre at the Fort Hood army post.

Hizb ut-Tahrir banned in Bangladesh after attack
Hizb ut-Tahrir, whose American wing held a conference calling for Islam to replace capitalism in Chicago over the summer, has been banned in Bangladesh. This brings to 20 the number of countries that have banned Hizb ut-Tahrir, which claims to be peaceful but admits that its goal is to see the establishment of a global […]
Regular readers of SFW may recall our reports a few months ago about Hizb ut-Tahrir.

The organization held an event in Chicago calling for an end to capitalism and replacing free enterprise with an Islamic system […]

Islamic Finance comes to France; Promoters Worry About “Prejudice”
Islamic finance is making its way into France, but its promoters worry that retail establishments for Shariah-Compliant banking and finance will be inhibited by “prejudice” against Islam. Prejudice against Islam has NOTHING to do with opposition to Shariah-Compliant Finance. The problem is SHARIAH itself. Shariah is a barbaric doctrine which is inherently damaging to human […]
Yale Criticized For Nixing Muslim Cartoons
The Jihadists are winning. They have successfully intimidated a bastion of free thought and free expression in the United States into suppressing a book about the cartoons of Mohammed that stirred up so much controversy (and outright violence) a couple of years ago. Under Shariah, these cartoons are considered “defamation” and the Organization of the […]
Iranian financing is prompting calls to end the construction of a new mosque in Copenhagen, Denmark. It seems the organization behind the mosque mislead the nation when they claimed that the mosque’s construction would be financed entirely by Danish Muslims. In actuality, nearly 30% of the cost of the mosque will be financed by “two […]
Halal search engine will prevent Muslims from visiting forbidden internet sites
A new search engine is about to be launched, ImHalal.com, and we have a feeling that ShariahFinanceWatch.org won’t be showing up on any searches there. ImHalal will prevent Muslims from finding internet sites which contain content which is considered “haram,” or forbidden under Shariah law. The founder of the search engine claims that the site […]
Islamists are expert at using Western legal systems to make us play by their rules. It is the ultimate in irony that they use Western legal liberties in their efforts to impose Shariah, an oppressive, totalitarian legal doctrine. Tariq Ramadan, an infamous Islamist scholar, provides us with an example. Ramadan, who has always claimed to […]
EEOC Says Muslim Workers Suffered Discrimination
Federal officials says a JBS Swift & Co. meatpacking plant in Colorado was wrong to fire more than 100 Muslim workers who walked out during Ramadan last year in a dispute over prayer breaks.

Diana West has a great article over on Town Hall today about Yale’s decision to censor the Mohammed Cartoons. She makes a convincing case that Yale has done so because it is seeking the same donations that schools like Harvard has received from Shariah-promoting Jihadists… http://townhall.com/Common/PrintPage.aspx?g=341e746b-1570-4a49-b2a3-8a00807c770d&t=c
Earlier today, we posted a link to an article which mentioned that a Kuwaiti Islamic Bank had entered into a joint venture with Colorado-based real estate company UDR: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2009/08/17/shariah-compliant-sovereign-wealth-funds-resume-investing-in-west/ We were curious as to what, if any, restrictions were to be imposed on the real estate properties in which Kuwait Finance House invested here in […]

British show the rest of Europe how to be good dhimmis
Some folks in Europe are less than enthusiastic about Shariah-Compliant Finance. Perhaps this is because the basis of Shariah-Compliant Finance, Shariah itself, is a barbaric, ancient doctrine which inherently abuses human rights. Never mind that, the British are “flexible” when it comes to Shariah-Compliant Finance and the UK is fast becoming an international Islamic finance […]
Islamic finance industry thriving in Malaysia
SFW has devoted a great deal of attention to Malaysia as of late because there has been a barrage of news related to Shariah-Compliant Finance there. It does appear that Shariah-Compliant Finance is growing by leaps and bounds in Malaysia and the growth of Shariah-Compliant Finance anywhere is absolutely nothing to celebrate. Wider Shariah-Compliant Finance […]
