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 Trump’s 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 Shari’ah-compliant investment and financing transactions in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.”

He was a US attu for northern Georgia. He has been involved in investigations
What makes you think he isn’t qualified
If this connection to the nominee is just business dealings I don't have a problem with it.
Show us where Wray has handled any such business
Wray is a litigator known for handling battles between the govt and YS businesses mostly over eegulatipns
Thank GOD for the all caps title ! I might have missed it.
I used to read WND years ago. It got weird.... I suppose some of its articles okay, but why wade thruough idiocy? Life is short.
Trying to taint Wray with sharia connection is not even grasping at straws, it’s grasping at teensy tiny straws that have to be seen under a magnifying glass.
That is insane
You don’t have a choice of who your boss is.
From your view point ZERO agents are good
Based on what? Mr Texas commenting on stuff he has no knowledge of
Erma Gawd
You don’t understand law firms do you?
He was a US litigator. He defended businesses from the overzealous mess of US govt regulators
First of all, you don’t know me so you have no idea of what I know and what I don’t know. So the first part of your sentence is simply ignorant.
Second of all, being an expert on international settlements does not make one a Muslim.
And thirdly, if all of the Muslims in the world acted like you thought they acted, we would all be dead a long time ago.
You might want to consider having someone edit your posts because they are hardly worth reading.
If you have those questions do your own research
The answer to number is no. K and S is a large law firm the does many forms of law
You are certifiable
Pick up the phone Alex and Toger want to talk
Big banks who do business in the ME have sections for sharia-compliant finance.
Because they thrive on drama. They are the permanent nay sayer class
There’s no distinction between what you say about him and a Democrat troll.
Well I guess you better go tell that to Dearbornistan.
Where there are large mussie enclaves they practice sharia. Just like some Orthodox Jews use their own courts. That is not yet against the law. If said people agree to have a separate panel pass judgment on their disputes there is ZERO you can do about it
You cannot prove close ties. All you can do is say Comey was his supervisor
Either you have never worked for a big organization or you need to have your mess checked
Wray is not a D.C. lawyer
So what? The director of the FBI is a manager
FWIW he is not listed as part of their Islamic finance team:

Rather, his focus is here:
Mr. Wray chairs the King & Spalding Special Matters and Government Investigations Practice Group, which represents companies, audit and special committees, and individuals in a variety of white-collar criminal and regulatory enforcement matters, parallel civil litigation, and internal corporate investigations.
