Appeasement? If it's appeasement, then it's idiocy.

You only have two choices here. Either Obama is a fucking idiot, or he is a malevolent human being.

He is a true believer and appeasement is a part of his world view.

He just doesn't see it as such. Have you ever talked to a graduate of a peace studies program?

Read T.E. Lawrence's the 7 pillars of wisdom. When it gets to the part where Abdulla takes over Mecca and the Meccan merchants expressed dissatisfaction about the abolition of the Turkish laws, particularly those governing commerce, Abdulla admits (with a giggle) that they will have to look in the Koran to find something suitable. In the 1300 years before that, there were no sharia banking laws.

Ciccio,
I am aware Sharia finance is not actually official Sharia.

However, that is a technical point here, is it not?

Are we not dealing with intent?

What is Obama's intent here?

Epa,
Yeah, I see what you mean.

I don't see that shari'a law and shari'a finance are completely different entities. Instead, they go hand in glove.
