If sharia finance doesn’t directly fund jihad, why should I care?
a. Islamic taxation is an element of sharia finance and they need to be understood in tandem. b. Sharia finance poses a threat to American capitalism (and to European socialism) because sharia is an awkward, anachronistic system that would damage the global economy. The prohibition on charging interest creates a host of, presumably, unintended consequences including the distortion of the value of money and the overall economic failure of modern Islam despite untold oil wealth.
