B corporations and socially responsible investing are shariah compliant investing rebranded for an islamaphobic audience.

Standard & Poors operates shariah compliant funds right over in Toronto and is also very popular in many markets.

Maybe it doesn't mean what you think it means, maybe you'll learn

Shariah compliant investing follows specifically and explicitly from a religious moral basis.

SRI seems much more concerned with issues of Social Justice and human welfare, in ways not always inline with Sharia principles.

If you say they are similar, the burden is on you to demonstrate.

Significant overlap in the concepts such as avoiding companies into firearms, profiting from conflict zones, tobacco sometimes and other vices.

Thats the demonstration. Shouldn't bother you that much.
