No Alcohol, better think twice Ireland!

Every once in a while we come across a story that is really outrageous. Some or outrageous because they are inaccurate. Others are outrageous because they are simply offensive.
Today we bring to you an article from John King, an attorney with one of Ireland’s most prominent law firms, in which he makes the case that the financial crisis that occurred in the West, the US housing market in particular, would never have happened if the US markets were Shariah-compliant.

Gosh, if only we could have Sharia here...
Electricity wouldn’t have happened under Sharia.
Take this attorney and send him to the middle east, where he can bask in camel dung and live with people who think like the Obamadork.
He is absolutely correct. The grinding poverty in “Shariah nations” is perpetual. Therefore, there can be no great loss of wealth; no end to prosperity.
Not clicking on your blog, but to have a “crash” there has to be something worth crashing.
Here is the original link, btw.

Well, sure. The crisis also never would have happened if Stalin were in charge. At the first signs of trouble, he simply would have shot everyone involved.
Right then, let’s just ban finance altogether and revert to an economy based on bribery and extortion. Then we wouldn’t have these problems.
I hate t0 take the muslim side on anything... but.
He is right. Usury is not allowed under strict muslim law... of course it isn't allowed under strict christian law either.
Thus he is correct, because if no one owed money to anyone ... this wouldn't have happened.
Sales of Night Shirts and prayer rugs would be booming ,sales alcohol( OMG all the taxes ) would stop ,bars would close ,home brew would be up ,etc etc . They would not stop with Shariah in finances .
Of course, if every single person in the world were exterminated, we also would never have had the crash.
We would never experience any financial difficulties at all if we had remained hunter-gatherers.
Jerks.
Rumor is that the Marxists are working on that feature.
Ref: Russia, China, N. Korea. etc.

He’s right, it wouldnt have happened. Mostly because there wouldnt be an economy under sharia. Wouldnt be a lot of things.
He’s just getting antsy because he hasn’t had a good beheading case in a while.
Ah, the Irish - 700+ years of breathtakingly bad decisions. Why stop now?
And yes, I can talk, with a name like Dorrity.
I wonder if this fellow's law firm represents any Irish brewers or distillers? I think I'll try to find a client list, just for the fun of it.
Even the spectre of financial collapse should not stir ANYBODY to adopt shar’ia law, as along with the strictures on financial mismanagement, there are a number of features of that legal code that are absolutely inimical to the ideals of liberty and freedom.
Apparently the application of shar’ia law has also abolished the right to fail. That alone may make the appeal to some folks overwhelming, because failure is no longer their personal fault.
