This book explains how this movement is intended to bring Western systems under the rule of Islam, and draws out its implications for finance and politics.

The last twenty years have seen a distinctively Islamic financial system become a major player on the world economic stage. Many Muslims have rejected Western financial products and institutions, believing them to be incompatible with sharia, and have generated a wide range of alternatives. 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.
