Hassaan Shahawy was student editor of SHARIAsource, the Harvard programme in Islamic law. You read that right.

Goddamn, it was better off just producing Psychology hacks and inhuman lawyers and managers.

#5 I don't know the specifics of what Shahawy is studying but among the frontiers of Islamic Law these days are:

- work around to avoid the discrimination against women in testimony, divorce and inheritance

- work around to allow interest based financing

there are a number of 'progressive muslims' working on these while, of course, a lot of them work on the killing infidel rules and stuff like that

#6 If they want to know how to work around the Islamic proscription of interest on loans, they should just look to Saudi Arabia. Ever since the oil money started flowing in in earnest, the kingdom, its central bank (SAMA), and almost all the banks have been on an interest-bearing basis.

I don't know what contortions they went through, but they did justify it.

#7 Thought Harvard already did this. O.K. Kenyan; not Egyptian. Picky, picky.
