Quote: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.

 

It's not a religious law.  In fact it's not even a law.  They're convening a number of financial institutions to try to figure out a way to offer loans that would appeal to the sharia community.  That's really all they're doing.  


Also the great thing about America is that all customs are welcome here.  Or at least that used to be the case.  


And you might not care either way, but many who are up in arms about this would very much be applauding a community appealing to their religious beliefs.
