The designation of individuals and…while Islamic entities are reregulated.
financing restrictions act as a capitalist tool for dispossession that legally and discursively produces Islamic institutions as Others whose money is differentiated and placed in a state of exception under a racist and exclusionary imperialist gaze

Maintaining the ideal climate for…legacy of the colonial present
the association of aid with terrorism subjects middle eastern POLITICAL ORGANIZATIONS TO RACIALIZED AND FEMINIZED NORMS OF EXCLUSION AND OTHERIZATION. THIS MASKS THE ONGOING INEQUITIES OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM, politicizes the value of life and money, AND disperses SOVEREIGN exceptionalism to bureaucrats.

By rendering humanitarian aid and terrorism… which Islamic finance is a part.
this system ENSURES THAT AID BECOMES AN AVENUE FOR MILITARIZATION, INEQUALITY, AND BIOPOLITICS. THE HUMANITARIAN EXPRESSION OF BIOPOLITICS IN THE WAR ON TERROR ENSURES ENLESS WARFARE AND RADICALLY DEVALUES LIFE.
