What does this have to do with sharia, anyway?

I think that Sharia imposes certain restraints on the way Muslims do business such as charging interest for loans. Most big Muslim owned companies are run by Christians.

In addition to the ad hominen attacks.
It's a poor substitute for confronting the opposing arguments.

Maybe you can help me:

I'm trying to find one single accusation against this company or the specific managers of this company.

Some evidence that this company has ever engangered port security anywhere, anytime, ever.

If you oppose the deal, then you must have some evidence to that effect, yes?

[Dominic Harr]

You mean concerns about handing over major US cities' port operations to a country which spawned 2 of the 9/11 terrorists and which denies the existence of Israel and backed the Taliban are racist?

Do you have credible evidence that this specific company, these corporate managers, have any connetion to crime, terrorism, or have ever threatened port security ever, anywhere?

I assume you would need that to oppose this deal, assuming you were basing your opposition on evidence . . .

> I haven't heard Canada, Australia, Germany, China or at least 10 other countries raise any concerns. Just us...

The others aren't exactly the premier terrorism target, are they?
