I am posting this discussion to better understand what areas of VC would be "legal" for a practicing Muslim such as myself. The principle reason for me not to enter the world of investment banking has been because of my religious beliefs. Briefly, Islamic finance strictly prohibits interest-born transactions, shorting, leveraging based on margin, etc. How much are these activities involved in VC? Could anyone please provide me with possible areas in VC where I could contribute?
I would appreciate any details you can provide. Thanks in advance.

I work for a VC whose founders are a Jewish man and an Indian but don't know if the Indian guy is Muslim.
The terms you're using are investment terms not VC terms so much.
You might want to do a search in www.google.com or wwww.yahoo.com and investigate this question a little further.
Good luck. Pay no mind to the postings on this board coming from people who clearing don't understand the meaning of being respectful to others.
