| #2 It is sad that sharia law has been implemented in Great Britain. It won't be long before the Brits won't have a culture or a country. Wall Street has had problems because of greed. Jumping into get rich quick schemes such as subprime loans has caused much of the problem. Merrill Lynch paid their last CEO 160 million bucks to leave the company. The amount some of these companies are paying their execs is just plain screwing the shareholders. |

| #1 "It is painfully obvious that Wall Street mavens who lust for better connections and expanded markets in the islamic world often have no clue to the backgrounds, connections, ideologies, or ultimate goals of some of the central officials and organizations involved in many "Islamic finance" or "shariah finance" vehicles. Neither does Wall Street, nor K Street in Washington for that matter, realize that shariah finance vehicles are seen by Islamists as perfect indirect mechanisms for funding the implementation of extremist shariah law and/or violent jihad." |
