But losses are endured by investor only.

Conclusion:
The IFIs are in full rise in the US because increasing Moslem population.
High Correlation with Broad Benchmarks: The Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes perform similarly to broader market indexes.
The events of 9/11 & Iraq created a certain distance between the US and the Moslem world, but the market of investment of the United States remained accessible.
Lack of receptive atmosphere and Scarcity of research: Need more awareness initiative from Islamic Institutions and more research funding for Moslem scholars.
