“Really? I love Muslims! I do a Bacon Explosion to die for.”
Christian banks are on the way - soon...
“I’m a Muslim,” the man responded.
"Oh, well that's nice. I'm an American, and my community is of Americans. Tell me sir, are you an American first or a Muslim first?"
"Why, a Muslim first of course."
"Wrong community. Good day."
He should have CONTINUED to say, “So what?”, but then he might have realized that they know where he lives, where his kids go to school, his wife’s daily routine,etc., and decided he’s been punked....or maybe it’s just about the money, after all/s
Besides the NYT trying to disingenuously promote Shariah through association with non-usary activities, in fact usary, per the article, is not being avoided at all. Instead, the bank merely creates a fiction whereby the entire cost of a house, plus 30 years of interest rates, is added up and then divided across the time payments of the loan. So where is the denial of usary here? Why not just call all of the interest each month chocolate drops, and make the loan agreement include chocolate drop payments? The whole article is a fraud, designed to shove Shariah in everyone’s faces as some sort of reasonable but profound power that even banks must obey. You should read the article, though - the NYT makes more favorable quotes towards faith in God than they have in the entirety of their last fifty years of articles about Christianity. What brazen hypocrites they are.
“In one variation, the bank actually buys the house at a qualified customer’s direction, and then sells it to that customer through monthly installments modeled on the payments of a 30-year mortgage.”
Hmmmmm... Does this mean that if a restaurant puts out a Muslim menu labeling pork as beef that it is ok for the Muslim to eat it?

I don’t give a crap what banks do as long as it doesn’t affect me.
Sharia = no interest payments.
The Muslim US president is eliminating interest deductions from income tax to conform the tax code to Sharia law.
Really.
