Earlier this month, Luxembourg issued a $254 million, five-year Islamic bond, known as sukuk. Meanwhile, Hong Kong last month completed its first sale of Islamic debt raising $1 billion. That came after Britain in June became the first Western nation to issue sukuk, an Arabic word that roughly translates as “certificates.”

Did you know that Sharia law prohibits the charging or paying of interest on loans?

I did actually. Those of us opposed to Islam are not all relying on prejudiced emotional appeals.

Why is everybody rushing to change the economic system to accomodate a violent, reptile-brain ideology?

They shouldn’t be here, so kick them out.
