  • The White House’s Troubling Embrace of Sharia Finance

    The most insidious threat is the normalization of the political ideology that fuels terrorist groups: Islam. While TX Gov. Abbott is fighting back, recently reaffirming the state’s ban on Sharia law, the White House is moving in the opposite direction. It is actively promoting Sharia as a legitimate financial system. Hidden in plain sight on the White House’s own website, among glowing press releases about “trillions in great deals,” is a statement from Franklin Templeton’s CEO, Jenny Johnson. She praises the Trump administration’s policies for helping her company, a global asset manager, grow “leadership in global Sukuk and Sharia compliant investing.” Let that sink in. The Trump White House is celebrating, as a key economic victory, the expansion of a financial system based on religious laws that are fundamentally hostile to American liberty and Constitutional principles. It is a full endorsement of the financial arm of a political ideology we should be fighting, not funding.
