Islamic Finance 101

Hosted by the U.S. Department of Treasury

In association with the Islamic Finance Project - Harvard Law School

1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Seminar at the US Department of the Treasury:

“Islamic Finance 101″

November 6, 2008

1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Department of Treasury, Washington DC

Purpose: This forum is designed to help inform the policy community about Islamic financial services, which are an increasingly important part of the global financial industry. The Department of the Treasury, working with Harvard University’s Islamic Finance Project, will host speakers from academia and industry to share information on the development of Islamic finance, both in the United States and globally. The primary audience of this seminar is comprised of staff from U.S. banking regulatory agencies, Congress, Department of Treasury and other parts of the Executive Branch. For some in attendance, this may be their first and only opportunity to learn formally about Islamic finance. We expect about 100 people in the audience. The presentations will be short and focused, directed toward policy makers rather than academics.

A background-and-fact sheet from USA - Stop Shariah is HERE.

Go HERE to read information about the coalition formed to protest the U.S. Treasury's seminar. A bit more about the protest:
Leading members of the Coalition will be holding a press conference at the National Press Club’s West Room at 10:00 a.m. They will be calling upon the Treasury to cancel the seminar it is co-sponsoring that afternoon with the country’s most prominent academic boosters of Shariah-Compliant Finance: Harvard University Law School’s Islamic Finance Project.

Thursday’s “seminar for the policy community” is entitled “Islamic Finance 101.” It will be held in Treasury’s headquarters building next to the White House and - judging by the slated speakers - it will amount to little more than a vehicle for promoting Shariah-Compliant Finance. Apparently, there will be no discussion of the seditious nature of Shariah, which explicitly seeks to destroy the government and Constitution of the United States in favor of a global theocracy.

Speakers will include Robert Spencer, renowned author and expert on Shariah law, Jihadwatch.org project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center; Frank Gaffney, Center for Security Policy; Dan Pollak for Mort Klein, Zionist Organization of America; Andrea Lafferty, Traditional Values Coalition, and others. Speaker updates will be listed at www.usastopshariah.org

Members of the Coalition include Concerned Women for America, ACT for America, Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity, the Zionist Organization of America, Traditional Values Coalition, Center for Security Policy, Endowment for Middle East Truth, Unity Coalition for Israel, Let Freedom Ring, Christian Solidarity International, Tradition Family & Property Inc., Women United, Jewish Action Alliance, Florida Security Council, Society of Americans for National Existence and the Center for Security Policy.
Is the U.S. Treasury looking to infuse our financial infrastructure with shari'a-finance funds?

Another kind of bailout?
