Canada: Sanctioned Iranian bank accused of funding Hamas and Hizballah allegedly wires millions into the country

Nov 26, 2020 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 3 Comments

Alireza Onghaei, the owner of ONG Currency Exchange Inc., on Toronto’s Yonge Street is accused of funneling millions of dollars into Canada from Iran. Exactly how the transfers are being allocated isn’t yet known. However, it is likely that the Iranian regime is working to expand Iran’s influence via its proxies. A CSIS spokesperson said […]

Indonesia: “Born-again” Muslims driving social changes, encouraging Muslim-targeted housing and Sharia banking

Sep 1, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In “moderate” Indonesia, Sharia is fast becoming the center of every aspect of life, thanks to the efforts of so-called “born again Muslims” who are shifting the country’s economy to ground it in “conservative Islam.” One “born again Muslim,” Arie Untung, states: “We have become some sort of like endorsers, the endorsers of Allah.” Indonesian […]

Expect Muslim Google or FB as sharia spreads through “Muslim tech” startups.

May 23, 2019 9:45 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Sharia compliant internet platforms will soon be more widely available if all goes as planned with Asian Muslim technology companies which are advancing unique sharia compliant technologies that will “uphold Islamic values.” The idea of “Muslim Tech” is expected to vigorously expand…. “The prospect of a Muslim Google or Facebook is not unrealistic. The Islamic […]

UK banks’ lobbying group urges government to prioritize Islamic banking ahead of Brexit

Sep 19, 2017 9:01 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Eager to safeguard the sector’s growth at a time when London is fighting to retain its status as Europe’s financial hub,” TheCityUK — which represents Britain’s banks and financial institutions — is now calling for the government “to make sure legislation is in place so that corporate Sukuk’s [Islamic bonds] can thrive.” This directive indicates a new, […]

“Muslim housing project” planned for Montreal

Nov 18, 2016 2:38 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The proposal to build up to 80 homes became a hot issue in the legislature, where members unanimously adopted a motion Tuesday directing the Minister of Municipal Affairs to inform municipalities that “no real-estate development can be based on religious or ethnic segregation.” Bravo to those in Quebec who have denounced this scheme for houses […]

British MPs face booze ban as Parliament moves to building governed by Sharia

Aug 8, 2016 2:55 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

British MPs are facing a six-year drinking ban after a committee decided that they will move to an office block that is operating under Islamic law while the Palace of Westminster is being refurbished. The committee’s recommendations were leaked. Back in 2014, it was announced that Britain was launching the first Islamic bond scheme in […]

U.S. stopped blacklisting domestic terror charities under Obama

May 14, 2016 12:35 pm By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong? “U.S. Stopped Blacklisting Domestic Terror Charities Under Obama,” by Eli Lake, Bloomberg, May 12, 2016 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur): The last time the federal government designated a U.S. charity as a front for terrorist fundraising, President Barack Obama had been in office for less than a month and Osama […]

UK: Three government buildings now ruled by Sharia, alcohol banned

Muslims in Australia give $35 million to fund jihad terror

Nov 4, 2015 8:12 am By Robert Spencer

“Australia is on high alert for attacks by radicalised Muslims or by home-grown militants returning from fighting in the Middle East, having raised its threat level to ‘high’ and unleashed a series of high-profile raids in major cities.” “Home-grown militants returning from fighting in the Middle East” should not be allowed to reenter Australia.

Seattle considers development of Sharia-compliant financing

Oct 1, 2015 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

It is a dogma of the American public discourse that Sharia is entirely benign and completely compatible with American laws and mores. That is why the mainstream media tried to destroy Ben Carson over his remarks about Sharia and a Muslim President. But Carson’s surge in popularity testifies not, as the media would have it, […]

New York: Federal jury finds Jordan’s Arab Bank liable for jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings in Israel

Sep 23, 2014 5:50 pm By Robert Spencer

“Jurors found the bank liable for transferring cash to operatives and handling $5,300 death benefits ​​to families of suicide bombers from a Saudi charity group.” It is good to see the financiers of jihad terror being held to a small measure of accountability. “Jury finds bank liable for suicide bombings in Israel,” by Selim Algar, […]

Jordanian bank faces Hamas funding claims in NY trial

If the full story of jihad terror financing were ever revealed, it would no doubt include many people of great wealth, power, and influence, who hold the same beliefs as those whom they’re financing. “Jordanian bank faces Hamas funding claims in NY trial,” by Camilla Hall, Financial Times, August 10, 2014: A landmark terror financing […]

As noted in a previous report, “A sovereign sukuk is the centrepiece of Prime Minister David Cameron’s bid to position London as a leading hub for Islamic finance, as competition heats up with financial centres in the Middle East and Asia.” This is what is behind the Cameron government’s utterly supine response to Islamic supremacist […]

Minneapolis loans over $1 million to Muslims in Sharia-compliant loans

Jul 1, 2014 10:57 am By Robert Spencer

This is wonderful and multicultural and all that, and it will have the effect of encouraging Muslim businesses in Minneapolis and the surrounding areas. This, in turn, is likely to increase the Somali Muslim presence in Minneapolis. Recently we learned that the Minneapolis FBI is investigating Muslims traveling from there to wage jihad in Syria, […]

Darrell Issa shows ignorance of Islam in Donnelly-Kashkari spat over Sharia

May 12, 2014 11:16 am By Robert Spencer

The U.S. today suffers from a bipartisan cluelessness. Few Republicans and virtually no Democrats have a clear and full understanding of the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat. Politically correct nonsense rules the day, and hamstrings our resistance to jihadists and Islamic supremacists. Darrell Issa is the latest case in point. “Darrell Issa Shows […]

“Do I have to change my religion to get the best deal?” asked one woman. The answer is no: “A Lloyds spokesman said Islamic accounts were intended for customers who cannot receive or pay interest under sharia, but were available to anyone, regardless of their faith.” How wonderful!
