Quote:That's what it sounds like to me.  The government is trying to break down barriers that would prevent banks from creating loans that would fit with the sincerely held religious beliefs of Sharia Muslims.  If this were "Christians" instead of "muslims" I imagine people would be calling this a good thing.  But since it's Muslims... 

No, I wouldn't care either way. I think everyone should pay their way. I guess the idea of a law such as this is just a very foreign concept to me.

 

I see this the same as when you go to a foreign country yet don't try to learn the language or local customs and laws and expect everyone there to accept your language and customs and you don't observe their laws. When you live somewhere it's what you do. When I lived in Germany I tried to learn as much of the language I could and obeyed their laws even if some didn't make sense, and was respectful of their customs.  

 

But I guess if it's a religious law....can't offend anyone who has sincerely held religious beliefs. Oh wait. That's already happening.
