Here is Allyson Rowan Taylor of Shariah Finance Watch, discussing the phenomenon on Fox News. It is surprising and encouraging to see this topic aired on TV news at this juncture -- bravo, Allyson!

Hate to be a rat, here.
But I suspect that anyone not already familiar with Islam, shari'a, and shari'a financing did not learn much from that interview.

This was a very helpful item in understanding the means of financial subversion.
The Islamic Center of Boston (about which Pipes has kept a running story) has entered iinto funding through the Kuwait Bank to finance it's property. It's quite arcane in it's process. With it all, is the insider relationship with the Boston Redevelopment Authority. I just wonder how seconday and tertiary parties will be governed by the predicate agreements, if in fact it's subject ot Sharia Finance? It's been suggested in (deep in) the agreement that possible land could be used for housing...?
I just wonder how Sharia code would be binding on that.
I raise this, as the agreement was signed at a US Consular Office in Kuwait, not in Boston, and given that states' laws in the US vary, could a precedent be developing? You know what I mean here. Take for example the gay marriage issue and how "good faith and credit" get's imposed upon states based upon the action of one.
I may have drifted a bit, but there are really few warnings out on this, unless we read WSJ and some of other financial media.
Thank you for this presentation. Subversion and extortion are elements of warfare which we should recognize with the same alacrity of a bommb blast or a sniper report.

How can I get an e-mail to Allyson Rowan Taylor? I'm in a political group and we are trying to write up an anti-Sharia platform and I want to include some suggestions of fighting Sharia banking. Help! I went to the Sharia Finance Watch website and didn't see any contact info.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I seriously doubt that Sharia finance will go over here the way it has in Europe because we won't allow banking without traditional transparency. We're spending way too much money already following the money. I still worry about where my gas money is going and when the Japanese will come out with this water vapor car already: http://www.sonsofapesandpigs.org/2008/06/waterfuel-car-unveiled-our-2nd.html
Still, it's cool of FoxNews to air the story.
