The Saudi Prince "The prince is hard-working, even driven. In accordance with Muslim teachings, he does not drink, smoke or gamble. He also does not invest in tobacco or alcohol stocks; he has extensive holdings in hotels but insists that the portion of his income generated from drinking, smoking or gambling in those establishments be placed in a separate fund and contributed to charity. Walid said he felt no similar qualms about profiting from his investments in banks, which earn money by charging interest, a practice prohibited under some interpretations of Islamic law. "I do not believe that banking and charging interest is against religion," he said." Theo writes: The prince appears to be a little bit confused. This practice (money-lending), is called usury. Let's get this right, he doesn't drink, smoke, or gamble, but he has a fleet of wives, has usurious tendencies, and refers to himself as the Warren Buffet of Arabia? Sorry, homey don't play that! He'd better reduce the caffeine in that bedouin coffee!
