Abstract
Since the global financial crisis of 2008, interest in the Islamic banking and financial system has sharply increased. After the near collapse of the world financial system and the bankruptcies and government bailouts of several long established financial institutions (see e.g. Plosser 2009; Poole 2011; Duska 2009; Jameson 2009), attention has shifted to the newly emerged Islamic banking system. The focus of examination is whether Islamic banks have been impacted by the financial crisis in a similar manner to the conventional banking system.
