Nothing stops anyone from being against arms, tobacco, alcohol, and any oppression in Middle East. If you are trying to say that sharia and the Middle East are somehow equivalent or one is a subset of the other, then I disagree.

I wasn't making an assertion either way about Sharia banks. I just think it's good to have an open discussion about ethical banking in general.

Who said anything about Shariah finance being tied to the Middle East?

You're assuming that every Muslim endorses every Middle Eastern government, then?
