#1 Only the communist Chinese come anywhere near Muslims in terms of the strenuous syntactical gymnastics they contort themselves with to avoid using the dreaded "C' word (i.e., Capitalism). Much like the Frenchwho are legally obliged to coin a Gallic-sounding word if native Français does not possess a similar termIslam would sooner reinvent the entire financial wheel than borrow a single free-market lug nut.

Our one great hope is that Islam manages to create so many obstructive and burdensome layers of superfluous regulatory legalese that they will continue to cripple their ability to compete just as they have for so many previous centuries. The never ending Muslim quest for ever greater Islamic "purity" would seemingly guarantee this, so here's hoping.
