“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 aggression and intimidation in the school […]
Darrell Issa shows ignorance of Islam in Donnelly-Kashkari spat over Sharia
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 […]
UK: Lloyds drops overdraft fee on Islamic accounts
“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! You can avoid the overdraft fees as […]
UK plans Sharia-compliant student loans to get more Muslims into university
The British officials’ reasoning here is clear: they think that jihad terrorism is a product of ignorance and lack of opportunity, so if they adopt Sharia-compliant loans to make it easier for Muslims to get a good education, they will be able to stave off jihad terror, the goal of which is to make them […]
UK: Islamic bank to open at Oxford
This report is from Iran’s state-controlled Ahlul Bayt News Agency, but there is no reason to doubt its authenticity. Baroness Warsi’s statement that “London is already the Western capital of Islamic finance, but we want to go further – we want Britain to become a global hub of Islamic finance” gibes with David Cameron’s statement: […]
HSBC gets slap on the wrist: $32,400 fine for laundering millions of dollars for Hizballah
“In December 2012, the bank agreed to pay a $1.9 billion settlement for moving money that a 2012 Senate report found had likely helped drug cartels and a Saudi Arabian bank the CIA has linked to al Qaeda.” This rogue pro-jihad bank should be shut down. Instead, a token fine. “HSBC Gets Small Fine For […]
David Cameron: “I want London to stand alongside Dubai as one of the great capitals of Islamic finance anywhere in the world”
Britain’s eager and active engagement with Sharia finance will make it ever more difficult for it to resist imposition of other aspects of Sharia. An update on this story. “London aims to ‘stand alongside Dubai’ as Islamic finance hub,” from Al Arabiya, October 29 (thanks to Lookmann): The British Prime Minister David Cameron wants London […]
UK encouraging banks to offer Sharia-compliant services: “We want to be the leading Islamic finance sector outside of the Muslim world”
Banning people who speak critically of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism. Letting in imams who speak positively about jihad terror and tearing infidels limb from limb. And now this: trying to rival Dubai and Kuala Lumpur as a center of Islamic finance. It looks as if the rulers of Britain have decided to make Britain […]
UPDATE: J. Jill, PODS Moving and Storage Caribou Coffee, Church’s Chicken owned by Muslim Brotherhood-linked bank
UPDATE: Jihad Watch reader Christopher has just informed me that Arcapita no longer owns either Church’s Chicken or Caribou Coffee. Arcapita sold off Church’s back in 2009. They held an IPO for Caribou Coffee in 2011 and subsequently divested all of their shares. ———————————————- One that used to boast the genocidal Jew-hating Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi […]
