All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Since so many stupid people believe "capitalistic greed" (not the greed of unqualified would-be homeowners, perish forbid) caused the current financial crisis, it is, alas, not unreasonable to assume that there will be many equally stupid people who will believe the theocratic totalitarian poison of Sharia finance can be part of the cure.

Mark,
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't surprise me. I would expect them to basically use any incident of failure, no matter how minor, to claim that their system is better.
