Islamic finance in Europe (18)

Continuation
The author writes that:
Thus, historically, Islamic finance has developed over a long period of a profound rethinking of the:
§  cultural;
§  religious;
§  and social
identity of Muslims and with the affirmation of its distinctive characteristics.
The 1970s saw the industry experience its first major development.
It appeared on the global stage, when a huge inflow of liquidity into the Gulf States was used to support the establishment of several institutions offering Islamic financial services (IIFSs).
Since then, Islamic financial activity has grown significantly, both in terms of volume and scope, as discussed in Section 2.
