Shariah law is like a mysterious other for most Westerners, who may know of its intolerance of other religions and its criminal codes that call for stoning adulterers and the cutting off of limbs for petty thieves. But few know there is a portion of Shariah that includes a thriving area of finance deals for real estate and business transactions taking place all over the world with Arab money.
President Donald Trumps pick to head the FBI, Christopher Wray, surely knows something about this segment of Shariah. Wray is a litigation partner at King & Spalding, which is one of the leading conduits for Shariah-compliant Islamic deal-making around the world. The firm prides itself in its connections to wealthy Middle Eastern investment groups.
According to its website, King & Spalding is a global leader in Islamic finance and investment. It was one of the first American law firms to aid Islamic investors in accumulating assets in the West. The King & Spalding website states:
Our work in the Middle East and our experience with Islamic finance date back to the early 1980s. In 1995, we were the first law firm to establish a dedicated Islamic finance and investment practice group. Our award-winning group has been successful in developing the legal architecture needed by our clients to break new ground in this specialized field. We are the only law firm with recognized experience and the depth to structure and implement sophisticated Shariah-compliant investment and financing transactions in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.

THANKS FOR NOTHING!
Had me worried for a minute...LOL
I don't lie/make things up.
Sorry about that...was getting a damned MALWARE alert and hit the wrong post to reply to. :-(
No problem...:^)
Sometimes we end up bound by our misunderstandings about God
Thanks for being understanding! :-)
True and that goes for ALL religions, I guess; though some supposed “religious, GOD given laws” are crazier than others. :-)
Still trying to work out which applies here.
Either
1) You have had a better experience in dealing with the lawyers at this firm than I have, or
2) Given the quality of your answer, you may actually be a big enough jerk to work there. If so, I’m sure you fit right in.
Perhaps there is a problem with your computer.
Agreed
Enlighten us.
Why did you need K and S help?
My laptop is just fine; thank you. It’s your link that stink
Yet you are the only one reporting a problem with the link.
I never have and never would need their help. I don’t get to pick who the other side uses.
America doesn't. Individual companies may choose to.
Have taxpyer-funded airports and colleges installed foot baths for muslims? Have public schools made special accommodations for muslims? Has the U.S. paid for mosques in muslim countries?
What does any of that have to do with this particular financial firm doing business?
Did you lose ?
