The Amana funds, invested according to Sharia, have more than doubled since 2003, to $1.3 billion.

1 And the financial powers that be think only to polarize and fragment by creating wars on ideological impulses! Damn them. Cheny has his crib all picked out and bought in Dubai. Let me tell ya buddy cheny. You dont rate a capital letter or the scum sucker shultz or Gramm or fifteen others I could post and wont. Just amazes me these old Reagan Guard warriors are still alive to orchestrate such debacles. Take MEcca and make it a pork rind cafe, is my call. lol What a bunch of limp wristed bed wetters. Might have hung the DC madam, but that doesnt mean that inside the beltway are a bunch of pedofile pervert S and M psychopaths matched only by the ROyal screw family in Saudi Arabia. |

1 you are absolutely 1,000 percent right on the money! thanks for posting that. & tieing Reagan into it. he was the start of all this. a Democrat could not have fixed it. they don't know HOW to do business. but we surely need an honest Republican in there. not sure about McCain. but I don't think he'll give the store away. he's honest. Obammy is a spoiled little feyish wimp. never had a real job or fought for his country. full of theory. but has no idea what the real world is like. Obammy needs to be kicked around in the business world and lose some money. & make some money like the rest of us. bet he's also limpywristed and light in the loafers. |

Obviously Allah prefers Islam, since He gave so much oil wealth to so many Muslims.
Either that or the most authoritarian religious system on earth happens to be centrally situated on the geologic clash between 3 continents. Take your pick. |

1 True enough. Georgie-Porgie and Cheney have purposefully tried to bankrupt the country. They destroy industries, r*pe the middle-class and corrupt foreign policy. They defend neither our borders nor our currency nor our best creative behaviors. Money_wh*re RepubliFats ... and sadly McCain also ... are true, neocon scum. Will noone rid us of this pestilence? |

I have only one question, and this comes from a high school dropout....
Where in the heck did some of these posters learn their language skills? |

did you read the article? it spells it out. and if it is not clear enough check out the Amana Fund. you can see how it is invested. the big points are no investing in pork (or related) companies, and lending institutions. under shaira law you give 2.5% of your earnings to a charity. that is the _tax_ paid. |

Thanks. That helped. Basically, they had invested in a sector (energy) which generally does well when there is a recession. It’s a good hedging strategy. Maybe one can look at other such sectors too. Though the 2.5% tax rate is not very exciting. Because, From what I understand this is a tax that the fund pays but the individual investors will again need to pay tax according to what ever tax laws are in place in there respective countries. So, if somebody is from Middle East this is a more lucrative fund then maybe for persons from other countries. |

He shorted them on freedom and liberty. But then again, that is what they want. There is a way out of this mess, but the pols don't want to do anything about it except for blaming American oil companies.

your welcome. but 2.5% of billions going to a charity is no pittance. |

True its a noble thing. But, I was speaking more from an investors point of view. |
