I linked to your piece in my blog post today at the Innovators-Network, as this is just the type of thing that is of interest to our readership. I look forward to more excellent, and useful posts at Texas Startup Blog. Alexander:

I have chatted with several major players in Islamic finance over the past few months and have some takes as well, especially in the area of sukkuks. Let me know if you wish to discuss.
