PIPES
One doesn't realise how bizarre jargon is, often enough, until one has to render it in another language.
Take PIPES. Just had to explain the phrase to someone not an English speaker, took a couple tries before I hit on a formula that clicked.

I can see the problem. Daniel Pipes is certainly a difficult concept to get one's head around, even in English. Trying to explain him in Arabic must be just awful!

Private Investment in Public Entities.
D'uh!
Of course, the correct abbreviation for its plural is PIPEs.

Just use Arabglish to give them the dawa on PIPES. That's how a khateeb would do it in a khutbah, assuming he knew his fiqh. Unless there is a fatwa against it in most parts of the deen.

Why don't one of you give me a tafsir on PIPEs in Arablish finance lugha.
