Sharia Finance: Last Gasp of a Doomed American Economy
November 11, 2008 | From theTrumpet.com
Forget forced Islamic compliance and the risk of extortion; America
may not be able to survive without sharia money.
Over the next year, the U.S. government will need to borrow somewhere
in the neighborhood of $1 trillion, the most ever by far. Estimates
go as high as $2 trillion, depending on how quickly the economy cools
and how fast tax revenues fall. The simple question most of America
has not asked is this: Where is the money going to come from? The
federal government already knows the answer to that question, and it
has implications Americans are not ready for but will soon be faced
with.
America is going cap in hand to Middle East oil exporters. What
government officials are not telling you is this: Islamic money comes
with strings attached. Yes, sharia law “stipulates that money must
not be used for a purpose incompatible with Islam” (Financial Times,
April 26, 2007; emphasis mine). America will increasingly have to
comply with sharia law, and what that entails isn’t pretty.
Sharia law is the religio-political-legal code that political Islam
seeks to impose worldwide. With regard to banking, it bans the
payment and collection of interest (a principle taught in the Bible
as well), restricts what type of companies investors can be involved
with (meaning no pork or alcohol handlers, etc.) and, in some cases,
is blatantly used for the express purpose of working toward
overthrowing the U.S. Constitution and government in favor of Islamic
rule.
