Useful Idiots



U.S. National Sharia Finance

What did I tell you? Don’t ever doubt me! The first step in a National Islamic takeover will soon be in place. Once the country’s finances are governed by Islamic law, as it has already in the state of Michigan and Minnesota, then soon everything else will fall into place, because every corner of America has already been infiltrated by Islam. Before American citizens even know what has happened Islam will be in control of their neighborhoods, town’s cities, counties, states, and country.

Large financial institutions like AIG, and UBS, are already Sharia Compliant. Obama plans on Nationalizing Islamic Sharia Finance. Once this step has been taken, there is no going back. There is no Undo button in Islam. Not without a bloody fight anyway.

The Obama administration has just announced its appointment of 13 new White House fellows – and the first person featured on its short list is a Muslim attorney who specializes in Shariah-compliant transactions. Sharia Finance.

"This year's White House fellows are said to be comprised of some of the best and brightest leaders in our country," Michelle Obama said in the June 22 announcement. "I applaud their unyielding commitment to public service and dedication to serving their community."

Samar Ali of Waverly, of Tennessee., is the first name appearing on the White House list. She is an associate with the law firm Hogan Lovells – a firm that claims to have advised on more than 200 Islamic financial transactions with an aggregate deal value in excess of $40 billion dollars.

According to Ali's biography posted on the White House website, "She is responsible for counseling clients in Sharia compliant transactions, on mergers & acquisitions, cross-border transactions, project finance, and international business matters. During her time with Hogan Lovells, she has been a founding member of the firm's Abu Dhabi office.”

Hogan Lovells lists Ali's experience "advising a Middle Eastern university in the potential establishment of a Foreign Aid Conventional and Shari'ah Compliant Student Loan Program and advising a Middle Eastern client in relation to a U.S. government subcontract matter."

"Our team members are at the forefront of developments in the Islamic Sharia finance industry," Hogan Lovells boasts. "We help set standards for the sector. We have also advised on numerous first-of-their-kind transactions, such as the first convertible Sukuk, the first equity-linked Sukuk, the first Sharia-compliant securitization, the first international Sukuk al-mudaraba and Sukuk al-musharaka, the first Sukuk buy-back, and the first Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) guaranteed Islamic project financing."

Promoting Islam and Shariah
The White House notes that Ali also led the Israeli-Palestinian Modern Voices for Progress Program and is a founding member of the first U.S. Delegation to the World Islamic Economic Forum. Ali was listed as a member of the British delegation to the World Islamic Economic Forum in 2009 and as a U.S. delegate in 2010.

Shariah Finance Watch blog noted, “It was at the World Islamic Economic Forum where key leaders declared Shariah finance to be "dawa" (missionary) activity to promote Islamic law and Shariah Finance."

In fact, the president of Indonesia, H. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, delivered a March 2, 2009, keynote address to Islamic leaders at the World Islamic Economic Forum in Jakarta during which he called for Islamic banks to do "missionary work in the Western world.

"Islamic banking should now be able to take a leadership position in the banking world.” He added, "Islamic bankers should therefore do missionary work in the Western world to promote the concept of Islamic superiority and Shariah banking, for which many in the West are more than ready for now."

I will always be Muslim

According to Vanderbilt Law School, Ali's mother immigrated to the U.S. from Syria, and her father is Palestinian. He left the West Bank town of Ramallah at age 17.

America.gov reported that Ali said her parents taught her to "never forget where we came from and to never forget where we are now. I will always be Arab and I will always be Muslim," she said.

Creeping Shariah
Shariah already is moving into some elements of American society, with a lawsuit pending over U.S. government involvement in a financial institution that accommodates Shariah requirements in its business operations.

The Treasury Department sponsored and promoted a conference titled "Islamic Finance 101." Islamic finance is a system of banking consistent with the principles of Shariah, or Islamic law. It is becoming increasingly popular, having reached $800 billion by mid-2007 and growing at more than 15 percent each year. Wall Street now features an Islamic mutual fund and an Islamic index, even though anti-American terrorists are financially supported through U.S. investments – creating a system by which the nation funds its own enemy.

In his July 2008 essay, "Financial Jihad: What Americans Need to Know," Vice President Christopher Holton of the Center for Security Policy wrote, "America is losing the 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."

Holton referred to Islamic finance, or "Shariah-Compliant Finance" as a "modern-day Trojan horse" infiltrating the U.S. He said it poses a threat to the U.S. because it will legitimize Shariah – a man-made medieval doctrine that regulates every aspect of life for Muslims and their subjects – and will ultimately change American life, culture and laws.

Deception
Some advocates claim Islamic finance is socially responsible, because it bans investors from funding companies that sell or promote products such as alcohol, tobacco, pornography, homosexuality, gambling and even pork.

However, Islamic financial institutions also require industry participants to adhere to tenets of all Shariah law. According to Nasser Suleiman's Corporate Governance in Islamic Banking, "First and foremost, an Islamic organization must serve God, [that reference of course is to the Muslim god Allah] it must develop a distinctive corporate culture, the main purpose of which is to create a collective morality and spirituality which, when combined with the production of goods and services, sustains growth and the advancement of the Islamic way of life and superiority."

Three of the nations that are ruled 100 percent by Shariah law – Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan – hold some of the most horrific human rights records in the world, Holton said. "This strongly suggests that Americans should strenuously resist anything associated with Shariah."

Tenets of Shariah
In his essay, "Islamic Finance or Financing Islamism," Alex Alexiev outlined some of the following tenets of Shariah taken from "The Reliance of the Traveler”:

The Classic Manual of Sacred Law:
A woman is eligible for only half of the inheritance of a man

A virgin may be married against her will by her father or grandfather

A woman may not leave the house without her husband's permission

A Muslim man may marry four women, including Christians and Jews; a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim

Beating an insubordinate wife is permissible

Female sexual mutilation is obligatory

Adultery [or the perception of adultery] is punished by death by stoning

Offensive, military jihad against non-Muslims is a religious obligation [supporting my stand that all Muslims are terrorists]

Apostasy from Islam is punishable by death without trial

Lying to infidels in time of jihad is permissible [supporting my stand that all Muslims are liars]

A lesson in Sharia Finance
Alexiev wrote that many Islamic financial institutions claim Shariah-Compliant Finance. "Sharia Finance derives its Islamic character from the strict observance of the ostensible Quranic prohibition of lending at interest, the imperative of almsgiving (zakat), avoidance of excessive uncertainty (gharar) and certain practices and products considered unlawful (haram) to Muslims.” However, he said, "[E]ven a casual examination of the reality of Islamic finance today reveals it to be a bogus concept practiced by deceptive ploys and disingenuous means by practitioners that are or should be aware of that, but remain predictably silent."

Shariah financial institutions have funded militant Islamic Jihad for more than 30 years. Alexiev cited Islamic Development Bank's hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Hamas in support of suicide bombing. Bank Al-Taqwa and other banks and charities run by Saudi billionaires are funding al-Qaida.

Additionally, Shariah law mandates that Muslims donate 2.5 percent of their annual incomes to Muslim charities, which are Terrorist Jihadists organizations. When 400 banks regularly contribute to such charities, potential financial sums can be virtually limitless.

'Useful idiots'
If Western banks endorse Shariah, they will "end up becoming what Lenin called useful idiots to the Islamists or worse," Alexiev wrote. "And it is a very thin line between that’ and outright complicity in the Islamic agenda of world domination."

THE BOTTOM LINE: “USEFUL IDIOTS.” Is that what we have become? Islamic Jihadist Terrorists are financially supported through U.S. Sharia Financial investments – creating a system by which the nation funds its own enemy. Yes, that is what we have become, useful idiots… useful in our own demise.

I truly believe that we are approaching the part of the slippery slope from where there is no return, at least not without a bloody war in our own streets. And if we continue to finance our enemy then we will loose in any case. I don’t see this turning around anytime soon, maybe not at all.

I am so blessed that I was born before the war that was fought to protect our freedom so that I could enjoy and experience it. Moreover, I think I will be gone before freedom has been completely lost. On the other hand, I am so sorry that my kids will likely see the last of their God given rights and liberty slip away and my grand kids will never have known freedom at all…

May God be with us …
