“Do I have to change my religion to get the best deal?” asked one woman. The answer is no: “A Lloyds spokesman said Islamic accounts were intended for customers who cannot receive or pay interest under sharia, but were available to anyone, regardless of their faith.”
How wonderful! You can avoid the overdraft fees as long as you submit to the hegemony of Sharia, you see. As long as you understand that Islamic law must be respected above all other laws and statutes, and are willing to comply with its restrictions, you can save up to £80 a month in overdraft fees.
The rapid self-destruction of Britain as it abjectly surrenders to Sharia while even its alleged foes of Sharia denounce and defame genuine opponents of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism would be funny if it were, say, a Monty Python movie. But it isn’t.
“Lloyds drops overdraft fee on Islamic accounts,” by Keith Perry, the Telegraph, April 25, 2014 (thanks to Maajid Nawaz):
Lloyds Bank has been accused of religious discrimination after offering free overdraft accounts to Muslims.

While many will have to pay up to £80 a month if they go into the red, Muslims were told they would escape the charges. The document said: “We are removing the monthly overdraft management fee of £6 from our Islamic Account, Islamic Student Account and Islamic Graduate Account. So, if you use an unplanned overdraft on these accounts, there won’t be any charges.”
One customer, Anita Milton, a nurse of New Eltham, south London, said: “I can’t believe that they’re thinking of offering one account for Muslims and making everyone else pay for the same service. Do I have to change my religion to get the best deal?”

I do know, that to get around Islamic rules, when loans are given in the Arab world, there is an “Acquisition Fee”...which can be built into payments on the loan. This, of course, is effectively interest.
Interest is evil, but it is also the fundamental bedrock upon which all capitalism is built. I don’t think that real progress could be made in a world with no interest.
the mooselims dont like LIBERTY!
at all
Saved us?. Yawn.
And life in the Uk is still pretty good as well, occasional stupidity not withstanding.
And we couldn’t care less what some Yank thinks.
Because if you then don't follow the dictates of the murder cult, they kill you for being an apostate.
So are they saying muslims don’t know how to properly manage a bank account?
