I can’t believe I’m seeing some FReepers defending sharia banking in America. This nation is so doomed.
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.
I can believe I'm seeing FReepers rushing to embrace the government to protect them from a small bank in Michigan.
