Islamist Radicals Working To Implement New Golden Rule: He Who Has the Gold, Makes the Rules
While liberal pols’ and journalists’ antagonist in their ongoing demon of the week drama is currently oil speculators, other more insidious market actors could be in action causing deeper and more lasting harm.
According to a recent post on the Terror Finance blog by Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen, the war on Islamic Fascism should also include an understanding of Shari’a finance and its role in subverting Western economies. Money quotes:
Rising oil prices and the West’s dependency on Middle East oil, combined with willful blindness and political correctness, provide a surge of petrodollars, making financial and economic jihad so much easier to carry out. Moreover, according to Shari’a, Muslims hold all property in trust for Allah. Therefore, under the Shari’a, all current and historic Muslim acquisitions everywhere, including the United States, belong to the ummah, in trust for Allah.
So, if high oil prices aren’t enough to convince you to support domestic oil production, maybe the threat of our sworn enemies using proceeds from $4/gallon gas against us will. While all Muslims may not uphold the command to hold property in trust for Allah, enough might to work implement the jihadist market menace.

Another reason we should become independent of foreigin oil. It is just like the Middle East threatening oil shortages if Iran is attacked. We have made hostages of ourselves. Thanks Dimwits, we won’t be a “super power” soon, I know that makes you happy.
Many Germans during the post-WWII prosperity of the fifties and sixties said that it was so much easier to buy France than invade it.

Robert,
I think the R’s can take just as much credit or blame for the current pickle we are in now. The same “R’s” that claimed to be fiscally responsible, but when in power behaved like drunken sailors on liberty ashore in the Phillipines.

Drill Here. Drill Now. Screw the Terrorist!!!
Reply to No. 3: Your right, to a point. The Reagan “R”s did a great job. The “R” you are referring to are “R”ino’s in the party mix. But any similiance to an “R” is better than any “D” as in Dimwit, anytime. With a RINO, you may or may not get some conservative views but with a “D”imwit, all you will get is ultra left wing liberalism at its best. “BO” has the potential to redefine “socialism” that will definitely bring down this great country.

Drill right through the polar bears if they get in the way.
Simple, please, do not compare Republicans pi$$ing our tax dollars away with sailors drinking on liberty. The sailors after all, are spending the money they earned.
Robert, do not be under the illusion that being energy independent will take any petro dollars out of the hands of terrorists. India and China are more than able to suck up any oil that we don’t buy. The two of them are sucking up much of the raw material in the world now: Iron, copper, etc. Those prices are going thru the roof.
Being enegy independent will however, save us from the agony of a shortage in the rest of the world should we have to slap the krapp out of Iran and they close the Straits of Hormuz.
Reply to No. 7: When I talk about being independent, I meant not being held hostage by the Middle East. I know there will always be a demand but we will control our own “supply and demand”.
I concur. I just didn’t want anybody to think our energy independence would put a dent in the money going to terrorists from Muslim supporters with oil ties.
