Spencer: Doing Business With Jihad
Just dug up a little more information on "Sharia finance" from Human Events via Robert Spencer's Jihad Watch. Some salient portions:
This is yet another manifestation of a stealth jihad phenomenon that is manifesting itself today in many areas besides finance: in Muslim countries, Muslims demand that Westerners conform to Islamic sensibilities, and likewise in Western countries, Muslims demand that Westerners conform to Islamic sensibilities. There is consistency, but no balance.
The most notorious example of accommodation to Islam is the increasing popularity of Sharia Finance, which Western banking institutions are rushing to offer to Muslims in the West even more quickly than they are rushing to open branches in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
There is, after all, so very much money to be made. Najib Fayyad of Unicorn Capital Turkey explains: “There are Islamic finance institutions operating in over 75 countries and with assets estimated at around US$700 billion, a figure which is growing at a rate of about 15% a year.” Some of the West’s leading financial institutions, including (besides Citibank and Goldman Sachs) Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Dow Jones, HSBC Bank, Lloyd’s, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Standard & Poors, have created “Sharia Advisory Boards,” staffed with Islamic clerics and scholars, in order to help them bring their financial practices into line with Islamic norms.
A benign exercise in multiculturalism? Not quite. Christopher Holton, Vice President of the Center for Security Policy, states that “America is losing the financial war on terror because Wall Street is embracing a subversive enemy ideology on one hand and providing corporate life support to state sponsors of terrorism on the other hand. . . ."
In April 2008, journalists Alyssa A. Lappen and Rachel Ehrenfeld warned that “the growing U.S. and European financial crisis gives Islamic banking and shari’a finance proponents increasing leverage over Western markets and economics. In reality, their acquisitions of ever-larger stakes in U.S. and Western strategic financial and other assets, amounts to economic warfare against the West.”

Words fail me, almost
The only comments I have are: 1) that West LegalEdcenter is an outfit which serves the legal and business communities here in the US and elsewhere; 2) that the fellow who killed all those soldiers at Ft. Hood, TX once gave a lecture on the importance of Sharia; and 3) that the liberal-lefties in the legal and business communities, etc. just lick all this stuff up like sluts in a porn flick and then proceed to kiss the arses of their conqueror/investors/business partners.
Oh, and also that so-called "conservatives" who have sold their souls - and America - to *state* capitalism and globalism are therefore equally damnable, for, their ostensible opposition to jihad and Sharia notwithstanding, they have joined the liberal-lefties in enabling those hellish Muslim doctrines.

Britons Weary of Surveillance
Well, here's to the day the Britons finally wise up and start shooting at the bastards, as we did in 1775.

What if. . .
all of the cosmos, as it swirls around us and expands away from us and obtrudes into us isn't "evidence" of chaos and chance and atheism after all?
What if all this is its own sort way of being formless and void, but about to be brought into lively order?
What if all the countless planets of all the countless galaxies are meant to eventually be host to a deified creature made in God's image, somehow producing everlasting spawn in a way that transcends human procreation?
What if the universe is intended to become teeming with life, ever expanding into the life of God?
What if "the earth is his footstool" is to be taken literally after all? That it really is the center of the universe, as it was there that "the firstborn of all Creation" created and redeemed His man and His universe?
What if. . .
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." (St. Paul, Epistle to the Romans)
