Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen explain how, "in their urgent desire to find new markets, Americans have opened the door to Islamist expansionism." From the Washington Times:
It's time for the United States to limit financial transactions that involve American companies to governance by secular laws. The swelling oil revenues of the Gulf states have created demand from those markets for U.S. investments in banks, real estate and industrial stocks. Most has been invested according to the usual financial guidelines, but the recent surge in revenues has also stimulated the demand to impose Islamic law (sharia) on financial investments.In their urgent desire to find new markets, Americans have opened the door to Islamist expansionism. The Dow Jones Islamic Markets index and Islamic U.S. banks and financial products, which are catering exclusively to Muslims, only advance the Islamic impetus to impose sharia-governed banking on the West. For example, Michael J.T. McMillen, a partner at Dechert, and "a pioneer in the burgeoning Islamic banking and finance market," aggressively solicits and accommodates sharia compliant transactions. If Islamic investors want to abide by sharia, nothing prevents them from doing so. But there is no reason for American banks, businesses and investment firms to introduce Islam or any other religion into the U.S. capital markets.
Read it all.

"The Dow Jones Islamic Markets index and Islamic U.S. banks and financial products, which are catering exclusively to Muslims"
Isn't this discrimination?
My bad ... only if it just catered to non-Muslims
would it be discriminatory.

Usurpation of U.S. civil law by any other judicial code is clearly unconstitutional and thereby illegal.
Who will pursue this case in order to safeguard our constitutional freedom? You guessed it: nobody. It's pretend-time once again, just as with the willful non-enforcement of our border laws.
I've said it before (and nobody has ever bothered to comment, so maybe intellectual cowardice exists in here much like physical cowardice pervades Dhimmitude beyond this BLOG), but I'll say it again anyway:
Islam, and the practice thereof, is a crime in that it violates the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE PART I--CRIMES CHAPTER 96--RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS.
Look it up (http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/laws/majorlaw/rico/rico.htm) and you'll see that it's applicable.
I'm getting discouraged. It's almost as if those of us in here perversely enjoy witnessing the systematic self-dismantling of the Free World by us, at the arrogant behest of these awful and subhuman animals who proudly call themselves Moslems.
Pussies.

Memo to Sensitive Souls:
1) Set up bank.
2) Welcome deposits from Muslim customers.
3) Offer special "Muslim-friendly" accounts, which you can assure your Muslim customers will not violate any principles of Islam.
4) Refuse to pay interest on Muslim accounts for that would be wrong, that would inveigle them into doing something they should not do.
5) If they complain and insist on the payment of interest, make sure that the entire relevant Muslim community knows -- especially the local Mosque. Act bewildered, act confused. Say that instead of giving interest, you took the accrued interest and donated it to the sweetly non-denominational United Way, and surely Muslims do not really contribute only to fellow Muslims, as is rumored -- do they?
6) After those accounts are closed by the dissatisfied Muslim customers, advertise for others who have not yet heard about your Muslim -friendly banking services.
7) You need not be a bank to perform this service. You may simply be an impecunioous individual, borrowiing from a Muslim institution or individual, and then refusing to pay interest because, again, it would be an insult to attempt to inveigle Muslims into being tangled in the receipt of interest. So you wished to spare them the agony of it all.
8) Repeat, as many times, in as many contexts, in as many ways, as you wish.
9) Sweeten to taste.

What these corporate CEOs and shareholders DO NOT UNDERSTAND, CANNOT UNDERSTAND, AND DO NOT WANT TO UNDERSTAND is that Islamic mosque leaders will turn around at one point and make sure that their followers attack western corporations, seize and/or destroy their production facilities and output, and eliminate whatever assets they have access to. The CEOs of the world (and in particular of the United States), deluded officials of America and the EU are all in denial, each of them insisting that THEY will be the exceptions and succeed in profiting off the Islamicized nations. BUT---
Corporations will not be tolerated by Islam. Neither will the infidels who run them.
The elite of the west must learn to, first, accept it and, then, get over it.
