Sharia Board jokers

("jokers" refer to wild cards in a deck of cards. In Egyptian political culture the older brother of Sayyid Marei was also referred to as a "joker" because he appeared on so many important and irrelevant policy committees in the early Nasser period. I extend this meaning to refer to our learned religious scholars who extend themselves to many banks' supervisory boards, for which they are usually renumerated)

(just looking at the web page of IFIS to which we all had brief access Nov 2-7: http://site.securities.com/ifis/shariah.html?&rpp=100&offset=1 so I started to look at the concentration of ulama on the 268 sharia supervisory boards listed of Islamic banks. Below is just the first page of the first 100 boards. I ran out of time, looking at just the first ten sup boards on the 1st page, but downloaded all 3 pages and put them together in a text format from which one can search names, so as to find that Nizam Yaqoubi, for instance, is on a number of additional boards not included on this first web page.)

 

 

Sheikh Nizam Yaqouby has 20 entries out of first 100 banks

 

Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo has 9

 

Dr. Mohd Daud Bakar has 9

 

Sheikh Ahmad Bazie Al-Yaseen has 3

 

Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Abdulrazaq Al-Tabtabae has 4

 

Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Fawzi Faldullah has 2 (Kuwait)

 

Sheikh Professor Ajeel Jassim Al-Nashmi has 4

 

Mufti Abdul Kadir Barkatullah has 4 (UK)

 

Mufti Muhammad Nurullah Shikder has 2 (UK)

 

Dr. Abdul Latif El Mahmoud has 5

 

Dr. Mohammed Ali El Gari has 15

 

Dr. Mohammed Imran Usmani has 4

 

Sheikh Abdullah Bin Sulaiman Al Manea has 8

 

Dr. Abdul Sattar Abu Ghuddah has 20

 

Sheikh Mohammed Taqi Usmani has 5

 

So far I have only looked at the boards of the first ten out of first 100 of the 268 or so boards available on this web sheet. Will now try to download everything into a single text file for further analysis….
