Right-wing opponents of the non-existent threat of Sharia law frequently warn that, if we don’t act now, the United States will quickly turn into Western Europe—which, they say, has succumbed to the slow creep of Islamic law. I thought that sounded like a lot of empty fearmongering, but then I saw this:
[The] Duke of York, Prince Andrew Albert Christian Edward, who is well known by the name Prince Andrew calls on Indonesia to plot sharia financing in the country.
During the meeting between Prince Andrew and Indonesian Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo on Wednesday, both parties are planning to discuss several policies on financial services including future sharia financing in Indonesia and partnership between UK and Indonesia in the development of financial market and protection toward customers’ assets.
Sound the horn of Gondor! It’s worse than we thought.
Well, that, or maybe permitting Sharia-compliant finance is really just a smart business decision, allowing UK companies to stay competitive in new markets. Just throwing that out there.
