Is this where someone points out that not every adherent to Islam is a terrorist?

I am assuming he understands it, but is not suggesting it is superior to out system.

[jmaroneps37]

And...?

[Innovative]

This does not mean that Wray is pro-islam terrorism.

No interest allowed under Sharia Law.

So to make a loan Sharia compliant, they lie.

The document says the amount borrowed is the principal plus interest due on the loan. Its magic. See no interest.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

That makes him a NO in my book.

[Not A Snowbird]

Not seeing an issue here. It’s just structuring of financial transactions to be compliant for the Muslim community. It’s not like he’s going to insist that everybody at the FBI start wearing burkas.

[HLPhat]

 connections to wealthy Middle Eastern investment groups.

 

Gee. Why is that not surprising. 

 

"Wray was nominated by President George W. Bush as assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal Division, according to the Justice Department. He held that job from 2003 to 2005.

Wray, a Yale Law School graduate, served on the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force and oversaw the Enron Task Force"

This one reason why many here have always called WND WORLD NUT DAILY.

I know about the Islamic finance "codes", which whoever wrote this may or may not, but is using Sharia Laws to impugn/smear Trump's pick with.

Muslims have their own "usury" laws. And FYI...so did Christians, which is WHY only Jews were allowed to be bankers/lenders, for many 100s of years, in Europe.

It is even alluded to in Shakespeare's THE MERCHANT OF VENICE !

[virgil]

How is he qualified to be FBI Director?

[Lurking Libertarian]

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.

King & Spalding, according to its website, has more than 900 lawyers. I doubt that Wray, who's in their litigation department, has anything to do with Shariah-compliant financing, which would be handled by a different department.

[dangus]

What other partners do at a law firm indicates absolutely ZERO about someone, unless those partners are doing something illegal.

[Responsibility2nd]

I have a problem with Wray and his law firm having ties to Islamic investors.

Show me where wealthy muslim individuals and companies aren't funding CAIR type organizations or are not fronts for islamic terrorist groups, then I'll change my mind.

But Wray having a profitable business relations with Sharia friendly investors is a deal breaker.

As FBI director, will he give a wink and a nod to these "business associates"?

[SubMareener]

So, let me get this straight. The new FBI Director will understand the Shariah-based financing networks that fund Terrorism and this, some how, is a bad thing?

[Noob1999]

Article says he’s a litigation partner, not a muzzie deal maker.
Need more info!

[PAR35]

King and Spalding would probably be my last choice among the big Atlanta law firms.

[snarkytart]

this post and this website lol

[Hostage]

My questions are laid out as follows:

1. If Shariah Compliant Investing (SCI) the only legal area that is practiced by the law firm of King & Spalding?

2. If the answer to no. 1 is NO, what percentage of the firm’s practice is devoted to SCI?

3. With respect to no. 3, was Mr. Wray actively involved in SCI cases and if so, what percentage of his time was devoted to SCI?

4. If Mr. Wray was involved in SCI cases with King & Spalding, did he actively seek out relationships, contacts, contracts, dealmaking with SCI clients? Was he instrumental in establishing SCI with King & Spalding?

5. Is Mr. Wray a Muslim?

6. Does Mr. Wray believe, tolerate, or sympathize with Sharia law and its radical elements?

7. If Mr. Wray is confirmed as Director of the FBI, will he focus efforts on Islamic Terrorism including Sharia advocates as harboring radical Islamic elements?

8. What is SCI? Does it have any connection to Islamic terrorist elements? Did Mr. Wray have any knowledge or suspicion that his firm’s SCI clients might have ties to terrorism? If so, what was Mr. Wray’s position on this line of work of his firm?

[Chaguito]

This article has a point, I assume?

[Candor7]

Sharia law is a form of ecclesiastical law. Implementing any Sharia Law in local, state or federal government would abrogate the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States.

Wray surely must know this. Or he will preside over the beginnings of a Civil War in America.

Oh FFS. You can find this six degrees of separation with every person in the world. Not productive or informative.
