Islamic Banking in America?

I have been a shareholder of HSBC for ten years. I have no objection to the banks determination to open markets further in the Middle East.
In fact while HSBC does a great deal of business in the Arab world it is also a member bank of The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and maintains offices in Israel.
One can only wish that those involved in the diplomatic process were as astute as HSBC in bridging the gap between cultures.
