About a week ago, while looking at the old dampened pages of newspapers stashed away somewhere in an inaccessible corner of my room, I had to take a pause. While leafing through the long forgotten pages, I stumbled on a piece of writing with the headline “The world has come a long way,” I muttered after reading its headline, ‘A ray of hope’. Now, the headline seemed to carry no significance to me in the context of the bleak global political and economic scenario that surrounded us.

Shaukat Tareen was installed as Advisor to the PM with the role and status of the Finance Minister with great fanfare. He has failed spectacularly unlike his two predecessors whose arrival or exit was un-dramatic. The confused nation wonders, why? Pakistan was reported to be over flowing with money and the foreign exchange reserves at all time high.
What happened?
What caused the downturn that may well become a meltdown?

All those who doubted the presence of bigotry in America were proven wrong during this election season. We all saw and heard it time and again as Obama was “accused” of being an “Arab” and a “Muslim” – as if being an Arab and Muslim is a bad thing. To some Muslims’ dismay, neither the Obama campaign nor the McCain campaign tried to put an end to such rhetoric by asking the obvious:
“So what if he is a Muslim or an Arab?”

This article helps understand the true nature of the current financial crisis. It could have been purely an American problem but it has become global because so many countries have been lending ever more money to obviously bankrupt America. If Europe stays afloat,America will recover, but it will take a couple of years before a post-America Financial World takes shape. Will Europe join the Middle East and the Far East or a new bi-polar financial system emerge? We are living in interesting times!

A number of experts and officials of Islamic banks and financial institutions have confirmed that Islamic banks have not been affected by the global financial crisis, and that any effects would be limited due to the nature of Islamic banking.
Experts have said that Islamic banks are untouched by the current crisis due to the nature of Islamic banking especially that it does not deal in debt trading and distances itself from market speculation that takes place in European and American banks.
