I recognized person mentioned at the end of the article: Tarek El Diwany (same first name as me spelled differently) had a part in the "Four Horsemen" documentary (https://youtu.be/5fbvquHSPJU?t=3479 https://youtu.be/5fbvquHSPJU?t=3479). I found an article about him in https://meic.cfainstitute.org/2012/03/21/islamic-finance-tarek-el-diwany-on-the-problem-with-interest/ https://meic.cfainstitute.org/2012/03/21/islamic-finance-tar... .
- stef25 8y agoThe hypothesis that the war on terror (pointless as it may be) is actually driven by Western banks and the concept of intrest and that the solution lies in sharia banking laws is quite something to get your head around.
- tareqak 8y agoEl Diwany isn't saying that the solution is sharia banking in that part of the "Four Horsemen". Instead, he is rightfully calling out that there is a mismatch between public intentions and the actual incentives.
- ataturk 8y agoIt's driven by the intelligence agencies and large corporations looking to make billions off of pain, suffering and destruction. It's the same as it has always been! It's just another imperial disaster that human history is replete with.
