Analyst's note:  You absolutely must read this entire well research and stunning article.  Then please contact your federal representatives .... NOW! This article is about greed, political correctness, fraud and ultimately about treason involving a number of American companies as well as the American Bar Association as they participate in another form of dhimmitude with a cunning Islamist enemy.

Most Americans, after reading this entire article which names names, dates and situations, will consider what is being reported here as nothing less than treason.  Our Islamist enemy is successfully introducing yet another "trojan horse" into the American and European national economies .  This time the Islamist enemy appears to have its eyes "[....] set on the pension funds of Europe and the Real Estate market in North America through programs like the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate (AFIRE) which represents approximately 200 investing organizations from 21 different countries ..... a not-for-profit association headquartered in Washington, D.C."

America needs to quickly connect-the-dots on Islamic Finance and this article by Gary H. Johnson, Jr. does much to help provide that service as a "[....] first step toward understanding the current global economic world order."  We can see by this article has all the major players including the country of Iran.

Ibn Omar, may Allah be pleased with him, heard the prophet saying: “I have been ordered to fight people until they say that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger, and they uphold the prayers, and pay the Zakat. If they do this, their lives and properties will be safe, except for what is due to Islam, and their accounts are with Allah.”
 
-Al Bukhari and Muslim, Sahih Hadith Tradition.

 

This passage from the Sunna tradition of the prophet of Islam is one of the primary sources utilized by Shariah Compliant Finance (SCF) advisers and scholars to justify their existence as peddlers of fortune and influence in international business today. Let's be frank. The reason SCF is presented to the world as an “ethical” or “socially responsible” vehicle is not because Islamic Finance limits usury through interest-free products or provides bankers with halal ways and means to profit. The reason SCF is considered socially responsible is because it is a wealth redistribution scheme. One fortieth or 2.5% of the funds are up for grabs; that is, redistribution to the Islamic faith via Zakat. And, while this holy laundering may feed a few hungry children, the Holy Land Foundation trials showed Americans that Zakat charities are possible avenues of support to jihadi cultists. What is certain is that the inability of American and other Western governments to gain complete oversight into the full scope of Zakat redistribution provides an opportunity for unscrupulous behavior.


The Hadith tradition reproduced above was drawn from the Zakat Rules manual of Minhaj Advisory, p.9, which serves as a Shariah Supervisory Board of sorts for the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC). The goal of the DIFC is to mainstream SCF into the global economic order. To achieve this, the DIFC has partnered with the American Bar Association.

 
[....] Further information for the event is laid out in a link to a DC Bar portal “for lawyers.” According to the DC Bar release, the May 26, 2011 seminar was an “off the record” discussion:
 
This Off The Record Brown Bag Program is sponsored by the International Investment & Finance Committee of the International Law Section and in cosponsorship with the Corporation, Finance and Securities Law Section.
Note: Remarks made during "Off the Record" programs may not be used for publication.
 
Naturally, when international and domestic legal concerns collide on any topic relating to Shariah in this day, questions will arise over why remarks made during a DC Bar-sponsored seminar would be out of bounds for consumption by the American people or, for that matter, legal briefs, collegiate journals and company newsletters.
 
The DC Bar portal did not list Nabil A. Issa as a speaker. Speakers for the event are listed as:
 
Farhad Alavi, Partner, BHFA Law Group, PLLC, Washington, DC
Andrew Metcalf, Partner with King and Spalding, New York
Babback Sabahi, Attorney-Advisor, SEC and Adjunct Faculty, Georgetown University Law Center
Michael S Snarr, Partner, Baker Hostetler (Moderator)  
 
To determine if Nabil A. Issa was an unnamed participant in the panel discussion, I contacted the DC Bar to investigate the matter. According to a “Senior Information Specialist” in the DC Bar organization, a substitution was made for King & Spalding 48 hours before the seminar. No names could be discussed in the exchange, but what became clear was that the original registration listing for King & Spalding did not name Andrew Metcalf as its representative.   Upon further inquiry about how many people were in attendance at the event, it became apparent that an exact number could not be determined by the records and registrants; however, the Specialist's off-hand estimate was that the conference room used for the seminar was large enough to hold between 40 to 50 people.
 
[....] Shariah Sways the American Bar Association
 
By tracking the firm's lead Islamic Finance Partner, Nabil A. Issa, King & Spalding's involvement with AFIRE is now its signature; however, this essential tangent does not explain what transpired in the DC Bar Conference room on May 26th.   Perhaps a look into the relations of Farhad Alavi and Babback Sabahi might yield a clue or two.
 
Farhad Alavi is the “FA” in BHFA Law Group, PLLC. The “BH” is Babak Hoghooghi, the founder of the Iranian American Bar Association (IABA) and a founding trustee of the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IAPAC). Hoghooghi's inflential PAC serves the interests of Iranian Americans in a non-partisan, secular agenda with a steady determination to avoid seeking influence on foreign affairs. However, through the combined efforts of the IABA toward Homeland Security and the advocacy outreach efforts of his Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans toward the State Department, the visa restrictions of the 2002 National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS) was abolished in late April and replaced with a more amenable two-year, multiple entry visa system in mid May. This radical departure from the Bush policy may eventually find its way into controversy. Farhad R. Alavi is currently on the Board of Directors for the IABA. A talented young attorney, Alavi's practice focuses on domestic and international trade, “compliance with U.S. customs, sanctions regimes and U.S. anti-boycott regulations, as well as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.”   The BHFA facebook page shows him to be a regular contributor to menalawyer.com and an expert in his field. At 12:44pm EST on May 26th, Alavi wrote:
 
Just spoke on a panel at the DC Bar about Islamic Finance with Andy Metcalf of King & Spalding New York and Babback Sabahi of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Discussion centered on the basics of Islamic Finance, how do you structure Sharia-compliant deals, and how regulators address this method of financing.
 
Professor Babback Sabahi teaches a course in Islamic Finance Law with Professor Ali Adnan Ibrahim at Georgetown Law. Sabahi holds degrees from the University of Tehran and Shahid Beheshti University Law School in Iran as well as a Juris Doctorate from Boston University and an LL.M. from the University of Pennsylvania. He has worked at the IMF, the World Bank as well as the Bureau of International Legal Services in Tehran. Sabahi also served as an associate at Mayer Brown LLP; but, for the most part his career record is that of a technocrat.[....]

 

Some of our politicians are "in bed" with our enemies.-- both socialist, Islamist, and one-worlders.  The sharia threat to America and destruction of our own U.S. Constitution is being funded by U.S. Taxpayers because of federal gov't activity.  The "American left" is working with socialist and seditious and secretive Muslim Brotherhood to bring about "change."  Financial jihad is helping to fund the stealth jihad being used against our nation.  We have those who are working from within to destroy this great country.  Sharia compliant finance is being used to help in this seditious effort.

 

Those who endorse Shariah become what Lenin called useful idiots or worse to the global Islamists jihadist who's  mission it is to destroy you, your family, your way of life and your nation on their way to reestablishing a global caliphate.  In addition to reading this entire article by clicking on the title above, please search within this site on the term "'sharia" and learn more.  Now will someone please explain the reasoning behind why one Samar Ali of Waverly, Tenn. - a Sharia law specialist -- is appointed as a White House fellow?  My guess is that it is not to better understand our jihadist enemy.

Also learn more about Iran and their Christian anti-Christ we know as the madi or 12th imam. 

As we come to understand this enemy, one could thus absolutely make the case that knowing participation in sharia financing is, for an American, an act of treason.  Both our domestic and foreign policy should reflect such.)

Islamic finance and Islamic banking, which are among the fastest growing financial industries in the world, are best understood in their political and cultural contexts, and by what formed their theoretical origins.

To begin with, Islamic banks are based on a corpus of doctrines called “Islamic economics,” which claims to be based on the Quran, but is actually the creation of the Islamist thinker Abu’l-A’la Mawdudi (1903-1979).

Mawdudi is both the father of Islamic economics and (together with Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood) the father of modern political Islam. His crucial contribution to the development of Islamism has been highlighted by Seyyed Vali Reza Nasr in “Mawdudi and the Making of Islamic Revivalism,” while his role in the birth of Islamic economics has been studied by Timur Kuran in “The Genesis of Islamic Economics.

All aspects of life and all realms of society are therefore seen as battlegrounds between Islam andkufr(impiety).

In this context, Timur Kuran maintains that “bringing economics within the purview of religion was central to Mawdudi’s broader goal of defining a self-contained Islamic order.” Such an approach refuses to modernize Islam, choosing instead to Islamize modernity. Muslims had to distinguish themselves from the “others”: their alimentation, their dress code, their sciences, their entire way of life had to be different from the West.

Thus, Islamic economics was born -- by the attempt of Mawdudi to give birth to a new Islamic order purged by Western influences.

Although the successive developments of Islamic economics sometimes took different directions, the birth of Islamic economics is located in Mawdudi’s attempt to create an Islamist ideology that would be alternative to the West, not one that should live with the West. The idea of a Western civilization wholly different from the Islamic is not therefore an invention of Samuel Huntington’s: Muslim intellectuals such as Mawdudi spent their entire lives arguing this thesis.

Mawdudi’s views quickly spread not just in the Indian sub-continent, but worldwide. The message of Mawdudi, for example, inspired the dictatorship of Zia ul-Haq, who ruled Pakistan from 1978 to 1988.

The leadership of Mawdudi’s movement was -- and is -- composed of intellectuals and professionals, who successfully propagated his ideas in the Muslim communities in the West.

In Western Europe, Mawdudists (under a number of different labels) currently control a vast network of mosques and associations, from the UK to Italy. Oddly, European authorities consider them as the legitimate representative of Islam. In May 2009, Queen Sonja of Norway visited the Islamic Cultural Center in Oslo, an institution controlled by Mawdudi’s Jamaat-e-Islami. A Socialist female politician, Heikki Holmås, had already paved the way in 2004, visiting this mosque during her electoral campaign. The “elective affinities” between radical Islam and the Left, explored by David Horowitz in his book “Unholy Alliance,” are among the most remarkable cultural events of the last decades. Given the friendly relationship between the Norwegian establishment and the Islamists, Mawdudi might even be a good candidate for a posthumous Peace Nobel Prize.

In 2008, Qaradawi called for Islamic finance and economics to replace capitalism.
