Sukuk may be used to fund the &#8220;&#8216;car industry or the next  Olympic Games in London,&#8221; they said. <\/p>\n<p>They also said that profit  share, gained from sukuk, may be an alternative to the interest. They  underlined that sukuk system could help automotive sector and support  investments in infrastructure area. <\/p>\n<p>Islamic sukuk system is  similar to bonos of capitalist system. But in sukuk, money is invested  concrete projects and profit share is distributed to clients instead of  interest earned. <\/p>\n<p>Pope Benedict XVI in an Oct. 7 speech reflected on crashing financial markets saying that &#8220;money vanishes, it is  nothing&#8221; and concluded that &#8220;the only solid reality is the word of God.&#8221; The Vatican has been paying attention to the global financial meltdown  and ran articles in its official newspaper that criticize the  free-market model for having &#8220;grown too much and badly in the past two  decades.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Osservatore&#8217;s editor, Giovanni Maria Vian, said  that &#8220;the great religions have always had a common attention to the  human dimension of the economy,&#8221; Corriere della Sera reported today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=804b8e76-a257-870e-ba8a-fdbd9b337f30\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vatican says Islamic finance system may help Western banks in crisis as alternative to capitalistm.
