Michigan court ruling boosts Islamic finance

By

District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff said that “the plaintiff did not prove that AIG’s sharia-compliant businesses engaged in religious indoctrination” and drew a “distinction between sharia-compliant business as a financial model and overall Islamic law.” But in actual Islamic law, no such distinction exists. And that’s what’s wrong with Zatkoff’s ruling, and the reason why, if […]

UK: Muslim who killed girl in hit-and-run attack fights to stay in country

By

There have been several other hit-and-run incidents involving Muslim drivers over the last few years. Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar explicitly grounded his action in the teachings of the Koran.

Musharraf: Pakistan’s blasphemy laws must not be scrapped

By

Musharraf intends to re-enter Pakistani politics, having founded a new party last year: the All Pakistan Muslim League. Obviously, if he is campaigning from that angle, he can’t remain silent on the blasphemy issue, and given the popularity of the laws that the aftermath of Salman Taseer’s assassination has made so clear, denouncing them would […]

By

Popular will may be the way to new woes.
