What might a country look like with a "Sunnah" economy

Okay, let's imagine those Wahhabi's had their way, and Barack Obama declared that he was a "Sunni" and that all aspects of the American economy would now reflect the "Sunnah" of the 7th century Sahaba's and Taba Tabi'een....

1.  The Entertainment industry would crumble in one day.  Because of the Hadith that people "shouldn't make images of themselves". Where it is said in Hadith "Did you draw that picture of a person, then bring it to life"  (or otherwise get rid of it).  The only thing on television would be Arabic Hadith in written letter form.  No pictures of people, just calligraphy and maybe roses or something to make the border of the televised image.

2.   The banking industry would shut down.  People would demand no-interest loans.  Therefore banks would have very little to gain in holding people's money and distributing it.

3.   The housing market would crumble.  With no loans people would not be able to afford expensive homes.  On the bright side home prices would tumble and after a few years you may be able to get an 100,000 dollar home for just 20,000 dollars.

4.  Malls would close.  The only thing that would be left is a few shops selling plain white kamisses, black gilbabs, and an assortment of oils being sold by bearded men in high-watered pants.

5. Businesses would fail because people would expect them to give out products on credit or for free.  They would say it was the Sunnah to loan money to an indigent, and that there were blessings if that person didn't pay back then it becomes a sadaqat.  If the business became to successful they would expect the owner to give the money away to the poor rather then invest his capital towards other business.

6.  Only restaurants left would be the "Halal Mart".  And even it would constantly be threatened to be shut down, over suspicion on whether or not the meat was "really Halal".

7.  The record industry would collapse and all that would be left is "Nasheeds" (which is basically just drums and childrens voices or a man's voice).  Because the Hadith books state that certain instruments such as string (so no more keyboards or guitars) and wood (no more flutes and whistles) are forbidden.

INFINITE COME ON DAWG... THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN...
RACIST POLITICIANS... EVERY TIME ISLAM IS MENTIONED BY OBAMA... AMERICA IS ON ITS FEET AND ANGRY...

LAXCENTRAL:
EVEN IF IT DID.... it wouldn't work out in AMERICA...
ISLAM WORKS BEST IN COUNTRIES WITH A LOTTA NATURAL RESOURCES... OIL GOLD OTHER MATERIALS...
ISLAM WORKS IN IRAN... IT WORKS IN SAUDI ARABIA, KUWAIT...
ISLAM IS HAVING WORST LUCK IN BANGLADESH OR OTHER POOR COUNTRIES...
