“The recession gripping the nation has taken less of a toll on American Muslims who follow age-old Islamic laws against paying – or charging – interest,”...

Yep...and that's why Islamic cultures continue to exist under economic conditions that prevailed in the Middle Ages.

Then there were no Islamic lending institutions but now they exist, such as Shariah-compliant Lariba Bank of southern California, founded in 1987. Lariba lends without interest and instead charges its clients rent on the property.

Hmmm...sounds like calling it rent instead of interest. If it quacks like a duck...

Islamic Scholar Warns U.S. of 'Two-Faced' Muslims

What idiocy. The infamous Bank of Credit and Commerce Intl (BCCI), also known as the Bank of Crooks and Criminals, was an Islamic Bank and Sharia compliant. Its bankruptcy is still one of the largest in banking history. Bad banking practices are bad banking practices whether the system is Western or Sharia compliant.

“Hah! ‘Shariah-Compliant Newspaper’ -— last I heard it was still in the original family, and they were always Lenin’s little helpers!”

Shariah– Islamic law – forbids investments in banks and mortgages as well as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, pornography or weapons.

[Actual 668]: Naturally they're ok with investments in oil on which all the rest floats...

I didn’t read the entire article, (too early for me to concentrate that long) but it’s my understanding from another source that there is no interest for muslims but there is for infidels. And they can call a loan at any time for infidels.

“If everybody was Shariah-compliant, there would be no recession.”

Of course there would be no women on the staff at the Bee, no women driving or voting, honor killings would abound, and California would be in the state of a moderately advanced 14th-century sovereignity. Yes, the advantages of sharia law are just endless!
