A theme you may have heard earlier here is in today's The National (Abu Dhabi).
For those of you don't know, Mohammed Daud Bakar is Malaysian. A very sharp fellow. He spoke at a conference I attended once. And gave a succinct insightful analysis of Islamic banking as well as the differences of opinion between the "Malaysian" and "Gulf" interpretations of which transactions are permitted.
The point of this is not that there is something wrong with Islamic banking. But rather that bankers can cut corners while claiming they are following the Shari'ah just like conventional bankers can do the same with whatever code of ethics they claim to be following. The pursuit of the buck (a form of shirk) affects many.
