On June 7th, we posted an article about how Tennessee’s Republican governor and Economic and Community Development commissioner had seen fit to appoint a former Obama White House official who happens to be a specialist in Shariah Finance to their state’s office of Economic and Community Development. Her name is Samar Ali. SFW has documented […]
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
Regular, long-time readers of SFW may recall a posting from almost exactly 2 years ago in which it was announced that an attorney who had specialized in Shariah Finance had been appointed as a White House fellow by President Barack Obama: https://shariahfinancewatch.org/2010/06/23/shariah-compliant-finance-specialist-joins-white-house-as-fellow/ The attorney in question is named Samar Ali.

The Kind Hearts charity has officially ceased operations in a deal struck with the US Treasury Department.

Daniel Glaser, assistant Treasury secretary for terrorist financing, will travel to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

They say that truth is stranger than fiction and this report from CNS News confirms it. The Obama administration now says that it has conducted outreach to the granddaddy of all Jihadist organizations in order to promote “small business.” The Obama administration says that it has talked with members of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood in order […]
Congressional Report: Hezbollah has “several thousand” donors in the USA
A report issued by the House Homeland Security Committee indicates that Hezbollah has a large and threatening presence inside the USA and is successfully raising funds inside the USA to support its Jihad.

Some REALLY Bad Ideas on How to Solve America’s Debt Problems
Not surprisingly, the financial jihadists are promoting Shariah as the solution to America’s debt problems. We’ve seen this before. Back in 2008, in the wake of the subprime mortgage debacle and near-financial meltdown, the financial jihadists insisted that Shariah-compliant finance would have avoided the whole mess. Then, in 2009, defaulting on sukuk (Islamic bonds) just […]
American Jewish Committee Shills for Shariah in AIG Case
It pains us to have to post this article, but this is one of the most misguided examples of bad policy that we have ever come across. The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has sided with the Treasury Department and against the Thomas More Law Center in the AIG suit, which seeks to address the fact […]
There is general outrage in the US about the revelation, which the US Federal Reserve tried to keep secret, that a Libyan bank got 73 loans from the US taxpayers during the 2008 financial crisis… http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/top-business-stories/how-a-libya-owned-bank-borrowed-from-fed-in-crisis/article1966694/
State Senator Kevin Parker announced a bill today to create an alternative bond market that would be permissible under Islamic law by creating alternatives to the traditional interest-based bonds. http://www.vosizneias.com/74625/2011/01/30/brooklyn-ny-lawmaker-wants-to-attract-more-islamic-investmen%3C
Incumbent Ohio treasurer Kevin Boyce has handed control of his office over to his top staffer, Deputy Treasurer Amer Ahmad, who has a habit of hanging around people who are well-known for ties to Islamic radicals and terrorists. Ahmad does so in his professional capacity, as well as in his personal life, choosing to attend an […]
As if using NASA as a tool for “outreach” to the Islamic world was not enough, the U.S. government is now in the business of proselytizing for Shariah around the world. The U.S. Embassy in Dublin has sponsored a seminar on Muslim entrepreneurs and business in Ireland. A main point of the conference was the […]
Our federal government has been allowing U.S. taxpayers to take a tax deduction for donations to Viva Palestina, a group that aids the terrorist group HAMAS. Several months ago, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA) wrote the State Department, the Department of Justice, and the IRS, pointing out that Viva Palestina funds terrorism and is soliciting donations […]
From the New York Times via Jihad Watch: Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo should not investigate the financing of the proposed Islamic community center near ground zero, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said on Tuesday, reiterating his support for the project. “I think it’s a terrible precedent,” he said. “You don’t want them investigating donations to […]
The Economist Lashes Out on the Ground Zero Mosque
The Economist has run what amounts to a poorly researched hit piece criticizing opponents of the Ground Zero mosque. This isn’t strictly a financial matter and we usually try to limit our scope to issues surrounding finance here on SFW, however, because The Economist has been such a shameful shill for Shariah Compliant Finance in […]
As Dean of Harvard Law School, Elena Kagan banned military recruiters from campus because US law said they couldn’t enlist homosexuals. Well, she invited the Saudi’s “recruiters” to promote their legal code–Shariah– which calls for homosexuals to be murdered and women to be treated like animals. If Kagan tolerates promoting the injustice of Shariah law […]
Investor’s Business Daily has a great editorial worth reading. It seems that Obama administration officials are holding summit meetings with lobbyists at Caribou Coffee across from the White House. Caribou Coffee is a Shariah-Compliant business owned by a bank in Bahrain whose Shariah advisory board chair is the Jihadist Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi (banned from travel […]
For anyone who hasn’t seen the Senate confirmation hearings for Elena Kagan to the United States Supreme Court, don’t worry, you haven’t missed much. In fact, Kagan is being celebrated in the media for her sense of humor: http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/06/30/elena-kagans-one-liners-leave-lawmakers-laughing/ This is really too bad because we have information that at least three members of the […]
The Illinois State Police have revoked the appointment of a Muslim cleric to become a chaplain with the agency after learning about his documented ties to terrorist financiers. http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.6565/pub_detail.asp
The White House has announced the appointment of 13 men and women to serve as White House Fellows. Atop the list in the release issued by the White House is an attorney named Samar Ali.

Unemployment in America is hovering at just below 10 percent, so President Obama hosted a “Summit on Entrepreneurship” in Washington, D.C., in an effort to boost economic development … in Muslim nations. The president thinks more U.S. investment in Muslim lands and exchange programs that will bring Muslim women to America so they can work […]
The White House on Friday announced a “summit on entrepreneurship” to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama’s outreach to Muslims. The White House said it has invited participants from more than 40 countries over five continents for the April 26-27 conference in Washington. We guess the Treasury holding Islamic Finance 101 seminars […]
U.S. taxpayers funding terrorism: the ties that blind
What would you think if it was proven beyond doubt your tax money is getting into the hands of terrorists, not altogether accidentally? How would you feel if you discovered that the dollar you paid in income tax had been channeled by the federal government through a bank bailout law to Citigroup which then ‘invested’ in […]

Trying to make us play by their rules: Muslims protest full-head photos on drivers licenses
One requirement in Muslim countries is that women must be covered. This is applied and enforced to varying degrees with some countries insisting on complete and total coverage, such as with a burka or niqab (very popular with the Taliban) and others only requiring that hair be covered, such as with a hijab. There are […]
Several years too late, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has severed ties with the Muslim Brotherhood front group, CAIR (Council on America-Islamic Relations). For too many years, CAIR has been able to conduct influence operations against all levels of government and the media in the United States, including the Justice Department, the White House, Congress, […]
