Iraq's chances of thriving are much better than most of the media would have us believe... After years of trade sanctions, and rampant counterfeiting, the Iraqi Dinar has plummeted from its pre-Gulf War value of over USD$3, to mere fractions of one US cent. What was once the equivalent of more than $82,500, can now be purchased for around $50. Can Iraq's economy achieve, in a free market, what it once achieved under a brutal dictatorship?.Fancy betting on Iraq's future? Then think about buying some dinars.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Islamic banking is based on shariah law - part of which says that the payment of interest (making money from money) is forbidden. But hey - you know eveything Peter - who am I to disagree.
ReplyDeleteI didn't say 'invest.' I said "bet."
ReplyDeleteSheesh!
*All* currency trading is a bet - one does not *invest* in currency.
ReplyDeleteThe FX Market is known as the Rich Man's Casino for a reason dear.
Shariah Law is on offer from Labour - Interest forbidden on student loans.
ReplyDeleteIslamisation of NZ is well underway.
- Shariah Law for students
- the population being softened up to come to love convicted terrorists like Ahmed Zaoui
- watch that if Labour win - the introduction of hate speech laws. Zaoui wiull be transformed into a freedom fighter.
"too right", you must have access to information the Immigration Service hasn't seen, as a thorough check into Zaoui's background by them came up clean. Or maybe you're a member of the SIS?
ReplyDeleteTo what convictions are you referring?
