#1 Islamic banks are unaffected by the sub prime mortgage crisis we were told by the arabs, US government to study the salient features of Islamic banking to ascertain how far it could be useful in fighting the ongoing world economic crisis.Islamic banks as a safe haven because these are immune against such crisis due to inherent business ethics within Islamic banking. Looks like another fable of islam to me.

#3 We all know that Muslims, especially Arab Muslims, can be trusted to behave in a calmly rational manner---never forgetting that their personal good is inexorably connected to the long term good of their neighbors and the Islamic Uma in general.

#4 The ancient Israelites were also forbidden to charge interest on their own people but could do so on foreigners. Citizenship was a prized privelege with benefits that excluded those outside their framework opf law. The people were allowed to keep most of the fruits of their labors, except for the 10% tithe of crops and all goods, given to support the widow, orphans, poor, and the system of judges over them. Restitution on crimes such as theft was also double or even 10 times the loss incurred, repaying the victim. Maybe its time Americans take back America from greedy globalists and rebuild from the bottom up? Patriotism is NOT paying more taxes and should be rewarded by not allowing others to sap our strength.
