Dear Usman,
Thank you for your comment, but upon reading the full interview and the comments, I really don't think that you get it. You put yourself forward as a FRM and CFA but in terms of the article, there does not seem to be a good grasp of either. For Example
1 You say that Islamic Funds will not invest in Tobacco stocks, I can only assume that this is as per the article that this is because "smoking causes cancer" but most islamic funds are top heavy in Military and munitions, for example KSA invests 10% of its GDP in Arms military and munitions:

How do you justify this discrepancy?
2 The interview is with Dr King who is a medical person, how do you justify her taking a personal crusade against tobacco companies in terms of portfolio management when her area of expertise is neither finance trading or portfolio management?
3. In your comment to me you state that I should sell my tobacco stocks and take "a leveraged short position in crude oil futures" I would like to know how you justify this statement as a FRM and CFA why do you think that I should do this?
I await your response,
kind regards,
Mary
