Nope. USA's immigrants are Mexican so USA is in danger of turning into a fundamentalist Christian.... oh shit! D:

With the Mexicans, most of them abide by the laws of the state and federal government. They are in the country illegally, but most of them just want to work and provide for their families.

My brother is a cop, and from what he has told me, the majority of mexicans do not want to cause any problems. If the police get called, then their immigration status can get checked.

On the other hand, muslims want their own laws, their own courts, their own banks,,,,. Its as if the muslims want to establish a separate society within our existing society.

Go watch some of the youtube videos about sharia law being established in Britian. Some of the stuff is scary that is coming out of London.

They can demand all they want, doesn't mean they're gonna get it. I don't see how it's any different from the extremist Christians who demand abortion and gay marriage to be illegal.

Well, you've already allowed Muslims to have more than 1 wife, and you even pay benefits to them and treat them as a normal family with additional wives. So I'd say it's likely that you'll cave to this too.

Mexicans are Catholics. And you're wrong about why Muslim countries are shitholes too. It's Inshalla Fatalism. If you believe at any second God can jump in on a whim, matters not what you do, for you will succeed or not succeed, It's God's will, destiny is predetermined, why strive? Second almost everything about the modern world is forbidden/blasphemy. Third they only use half their population since women are locked down socially.

Muslims helped create the UK and its culture, so its only right that some of their cultural practices are recognized. Multiple wives is one of them and nothing wrong with it.

Oh yeah, I remember now, "King George Abdul, be a good chap and pass me that prayer rug. Then we'll go stone some rape victims, it'll be smashing good fun!"

There's nothing wrong with it when polygamy remains illegal for everyone else, but is allowed for Muslims?

At some point don't you have to wonder what the point of sharing a country is? Different food, different banks, different clothes, no dogs, etc. What is the point? Why not just live in a majority Muslim country?

If UK is the birth place and the economical centre of Islamic Banking, why not give compliant loans to students ? Is gaining profit by creating an industry OK while demanding a social service suddenly becomes "OMG they are not sharing a country", what about sharing profits of HSBC then ? :)

what a private company choose to do is their bussiness, but muslims shouldn't get special treatment from the government just because some bullshit book says they should. also, the brits should stop being such a bunch of pussies and tell the muslims to fuck off with their sharia bullshit, the UK aint their country and they can go the fuck back to shitfuckistan if they don't like it.

How about beating them when they get out of line, or them having to have their husbands permission to do anything like dress how they want, talk to whom they want, get a job outside the house, etc.

Oh and last but not least submit whenever the husband demands sex the way a rooster makes a hen submit.

You know its only right that some of their cultural practices are recognized.

There's nothing gained here. The people using the islamic banks would be using normal banks if they didn't have retarded religious beliefs. If anything there's a loss from the duplication of the banking system.

You didn't really answer my question though. Again, if you're going to do everything differently, what's the point?

Paying interest is against Sharia law, so muslim students in Britain are demanding interest free loans.

http://www.hudson-ny.org/2388/sharia-compliant-student-loans

The question I have, will governments be pushed into having separate laws for every group that stands up and protest?

If Christians, Atheist, Jews,,,, all pay interest on their students loans, why should Muslims get special treatment? Is it going to get to the point where we have laws and courts of atheist, laws and courts for jews, laws and courts for christians, laws and courts for muslims,,,,,? Depending on your religious beliefs (or lack of) that is the law the judge uses?

I respect the right of people worship the religion of their choice, but there has to be a line that society does not cross.

If they want to argue the merits of interest-free student loans fine... they can even use Islam as an example. If they want interest-free student loans ONLY for Muslims... well then they can kiss my ass.

If giving up the use of your savings to someone else for 10 years yielded no return and carried a risk of not being paid back, no one would lend their savings, they would self-invest or spend it. "Usury" is not evil, inflation is. No one should be able to issue money for themselves while everyone else has to work for it, it perverts the concept of trade and creates a parasitic upper class.

Welcome to the middle east. Little mom and pop fruit stands still exist but that's as far as it goes. They can't borrow money to build something cool like a Costco or 7-11.

Mexicans are Catholics.
Catholics are Christians. We're actually the largest group of Christians. There is more than a billion of us worldwide.

As a UK person, I'd demand that every single last one of them get deported back to the dust bowl they came from.

This is just one issue that pisses me off so much it makes me see red.

As someone who lived in the UK for 15 yrs, I agree with you!

So called islamic banking is conventional banking in all but name. It's just another step in the drive to dhimmify the local populace. I think we should allow muslims their sharia laws but they should go 100 percent. If a muslim is caught speeding, it should be 25 lashes. Robbery should result in their hands being cut off, rape means off with their jewels etc.. Let's then gauge their appetite for sharia.

How Sharia-compliant is Islamic banking?

......
The products that modern-day Islamic bankers have created are very similar to conventional products.

So similar, in fact, that to an outside observer they could be considered the same.

This is sort of a non-issue right? I think, regardless of political stripe, this is something everyone can get behind (telling them to fuck off, that is).

Interest free loans goes against the western business as usual mindset, so your American banks are probably going to fight the issue.

Personally, I would like to see interest free banking. I like the idea of buying a house, paying an exact set fee for the loan, and going from there.

Who knows, maybe the idea will catch on in the USA and banks will get some real competition.
