This is a very disturbing article about the University Bank in Ann Arbor Michigan. The bank has recently implemented sharia banking, but to make matters worse they have even canceled their annual Christmas party and have stated that no alcohol will be served at after work gatherings.

I can’t believe I’m seeing some FReepers defending sharia banking in America. This nation is so doomed.
Once again we see how they use the freedoms of the West against us.
We just elected the most left wing president in the history on the United States. Choose your battles.
What do you suggest we do about a bank that doesn’t adhere to you beliefs?
Are you proposing violence against the bank?
More government regulations outlawing banks that do not charge interest and charge fees?
Government regulations that forbid banks from stopping the consumption of alcohol on the premises?
Government regulations that would forbid banks to stop having Christmas parties?
I hear you on the creeping islamification of America. Once you start the ball rolling on using government force against things you dislike, that ball may just roll back at you and crush you.
I never said anything about violence I said that sharia law should be made illegal.
Some people on FR are virulently anti-Mormon. Do we drive them from America? Why or why not?
I think a lot of people aren’t seeing the full picture, with all Sharia practices come a penalty. While the practice, such as not charging interest, may be fine and acceptable, not violating anyone else’s rights, the penalties that Sharia imposes for not following the practices do violate other’s rights.
If a bank chooses to just follow the practices and not impose the penalties, there isn’t anything wrong with that. If it had any other name, we wouldn’t recognize it. It is the penalties within Sharia that make it incomparable with a free society.
It is not sharia law that is being forced on anyone yet. These are business practices.
IE, it is already illegal to practice full Sharia law, with all its practices and penalties.
You’re trying to make a comparison between Mormonism and Islam? Wow. Just wow.
So it is OK, because it is not being forced YET. The idea is to try and stop it before it gets there.
Fasting and washing are not part of the LAWS of sharia. Making sharia law illegal needs to be done to send them a messgae.
But it does not have any other name and it needs to be recognized. Their plan is to destroy us from within and this is just a small step forward.
Where do you draw the line in using the power of the state to discriminate against a religion? Is there a clearly defined point that says this one practice is OK and this is not?
Mine is convincing a jury that actions of an individual, a group, a corporation caused me harm.
University Bank of Ann Arbor is imposing sharia law on you? LOL
Allowing freedom of religion for Islam will be to discriminate against other religions. You are standing up for an ideology that has NO concerns for the beliefs of anyone else.
Islam is not OK, look around the world.
Rude and cannot see past the day that you are in. LOL!!
Actually, they are. Sharia law has seven major areas:
With every piece of the law, comes a punishment. For example, in Sharia, a woman must remain covered- in our society a woman can freely choose it. In Sharia, however, comes a punishment for this if she doesn't, idreb or beating. The punishment aspect is what is already illegal in our society and not compatible. Thus, it is already illegal to practice full Sharia law in this country, it isn't however, illegal to freely choose to follow many of the practices of said law as long as you don't cross the line into violating another's right.
If you have a blanket law making Sharia law illegal, you are also making illegal private practices within it that don't violate other's rights.
Of course you’d never defend Constitutional government. It is abhorrent to you globalists.
