There is no separate Islamic economics, it is simply semantic workarounds to comply with the Koran (i.e. no "interest" per se, just "prices" change if paid later)

However, it is genuinely dangerous because it removes the barriers to modern economic tools and techniques posed by "sharia compliance" to the oil-rich demons of Saudi et al.
