At the same time, sharia finance initiatives are giving Islamic interests increased control over Western economic life.

This is so much the case that I do not know whether by the English Law, but certainly by some Continental Laws, the maximum time is fixed for which a man is allowed to sell his laboring power.

What we need to do is we need to create new international standards of behavior - not just national laws, because this is a global problem.

...what will be the outcome of this kind of thing? Holton predicts that "at best, the result could be Muslim enclaves in Western communities in which sharia supercedes native law."

That would be entirely in line with the stealth jihad goal of Islamizing American society.
