Understanding Shari'a Finance by Patrick Sookhdeo Ph D Dd Dd

The last twenty years have seen a distinctively Islamic financial system become a major player on the world economic stage.

This book explains how this movement is part of the Islamist agenda to subvert and subjugate Western systems under the rule of Islam, and draws out its implications for global finance and politics
