Anyone can take these loans, if they want. Most people have no interest in doing so as there are several disadvantages to structuring a mortgage this way (you don't get interest deductions on your taxes and the actual interest rate is higher than on a regular mortgage)
Where is the ACLU and their usual church/state whining??
This has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment nor the separation of church and state.
so you're saying there is nothing different about thi
s loan instrument, it's just being marketed to muslims on the basis of there technically being no interest involved?
IOW, this particular practice would have a special appeal on that basis, but it is not designed for them specifically?
Fine, I have no problem with that.
It's kind of goofy from their POV because anyway you cut it, money costs money (i.e. interest). Just dressing it differently.
