Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read.  The Shariah Finance industry is growing -- reported to soon reach $1 trillion -- at our expense both in our blood and treasure.  You will certainly want to read about, "This man, Mufti Taqi Usmani, as head of AAOIFI's Shariah advisory board, will now be the chief watchdog of the Shariah-Compliant Finance industry-and Ernst and Young is celebrating it."

"The accounting/consulting firm Ernst and Young is leading the parade  and credits the Accounting and Auditing Organisation for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) for future success."

" [...] Usmani referred to Americans in Iraq as "stinking atheists" and "the worst ever butchers and vultures of the world"who are "clawing off the flesh of bodies of innocent Iraqi Muslims."

"According to what Usmani has said and written, aggressive jihad against unbelievers is an Islamic obligation and, as such, does not need any justification."

"For a non-Muslim state to have more pomp and glory than a Muslim state itself is an obstacle, therefore to shatter this grandeur is among the greater objectives of jihad."

"For Taqi Usmani, offensive jihad can be postponed for a time only in cases when the Muslims in question are not strong enough to battle or otherwise challenge the infidels. And so, he advises the Muslims to live peacefully in countries like Britain, for instance, but only until they gain enough power to carry out jihad.[...] "
