Here is video of Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy speaking this morning at the Coalition to Stop Shariah press conference at the National Press Club in Washington. My remarks at the same press conference are here. The press conference was held to protest against the Treasury Department's "Islamic Finance 101" seminar, which as far as I know took place today as scheduled. But of course, we won't be giving up on this.
The most dangerous aspect of Sharia Finance is that it requires the payment of Zakat (Islamic Charity), which is administered by the government in Islamic countries, and by Imams and other religious authorities in non-Islamic countries.
Zakat makes its way into the coffers of nice Islamic Charities which contribute to the Jihad.
If we allow Sharia Finance to gain a foothold in our economy ...
We will be financing our own murders.
This war is bound to blow up. Conflict is such a part of human nature that humans need to have little ones to have an outlet. Sports tend to provide a constructive channel for this basic part of humanity. Much of the areas of the world that provide our enemy with soldiers do not have enough of outlets of these type. If we allow the war to quiet down, we will pay a much steeper price when it has not been bottled up.
Very nice Robert. I'm spreading the word as best I can. This has been sent out too all on my e-mail list.

No discussion of Islamic Finance is complete without mentioning Taqi Usmani.
This article by Paul Sperry sums him up nicely:

The damning book by Usmani is available online here:

And one more lovely little nugget (http://muslim-investor.com/mi/bio-delorenzo.phtml):
A course for Dow Jones University was developed by a team that included both Usmani and one Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo.
Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo just happens to be one of the speakers scheduled to speak at the Treasury's "Islamic Finance 101" forum that prompted this protest. See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/?pageId=80003
Oops, the trailing paren got added to the URL describing the lovely collaboration between Jihadist Usmani and DeLorenzo:

I wonder what role Mr Tax Crusader himself Grover Norquist has in all this?
Shariah finance itself is something that bears study, and this is a good place to start

The liberal multiculturists have succeeded in screwing up most of the counties of the world. They currently are on their final glide path to oblivion in Europe with Sharia law. If they are successful in introducing Sharia law in any form in the USA, it will be the proverbial camel's nose under the tent, and we will also be on the final path to oblivion, death, and destruction.
I am very pleased that both Robert and Frank are on the case.
