I wonder if this 'sharia financing' is from the same bank that's been caught up in the Malaysian 1MDB fund scandal that's caught up a bunch of folks... Goldman Sachs, the Clinton Foundation, the Malaysian PM Najib Razak, diCaprio, etc.,...
Who is going to build it? I believe one problem (among many) with the failed mosque project was, no construction company (all unionized in NYC) would accept the project.
Do Islamist banks really not charge interest or fees for loans? I’ve had several mortgages in the past, as much as 7% and as low as 4%.
You can buy a whole lot more house for 0.0% interest. Celebrate diversity!
So what’s the catch?
