Gordon Brown wants UK to be the international financial center for Sharia products
After Dutch MP, Geert Wilders was declared "persona non grata" and deported from UK because his presence was threatening community harmony, I found that Times On Line published an article (which herroyalwhyness pointed out to me was written in March 2006) in which it was reported that British PM, Gordon Brown had:
given Muslim leaders private assurances that he wants to create a "level playing field" in the economy, so that more and more "sharia compliant" financial products can be offered to British Muslims.
so as to:
help make London the natural home for Islamic funds from around the world, and increase the inflow of investment from oil-rich Middle Eastern countries.
Why this is important now? Because in the present economic crisis, this phenomenon can spread to other countries, such as US:
American financial institutions report the losses that forced them to deplete their cash reserves, CEOs are begging for loans from oil-rich Middle East nations that have benefited from the rise in oil prices in recent years from $30 to nearly $100 per barrel. As one former Wall Street executive lamented, U.S. business leaders are “lining up to kiss the ring.”.
But of course, this would threaten free business in cases when they are in conflict with the Sharia. As Melanie Phillips puts it:
Acceptance of Sharia finance furthers the Islamist objective of gradually legitimising Islamic Sharia Law more generally in the west (...). The most important point to grasp is that Islam recognises no authority superior to sharia.
