How do they pay for the golf r and S3’s and do any Muslims on the U.K. have a normal mortgage ?

The government can’t offer interest free loans to Muslims only so what are they expecting them to do ?

For such a modest minority they do seem to have a lot of issues.

I suggest people with such beliefs save up and enter higher education later in life. People cannot have it both ways and play the woe is me card.

My dude. Where do I even start with this post. I’m whiter than angel cum and I think all religion is bks. But surely you can Google satisfactory answers to your questions. In fact your sweeping characterisations indicate to me that you’re really quite prejudiced, and I’m inclined to think you’ve started this post because you want to continue your prejudice, not learn from it.

Aren't there "different products" from high street banks for Muslims that don't have "interest" as such but end up kind of costing the same as one that does?

Plenty of them on here. They'll have a nice little circle j**k, fapping to each others thinly veiled islamaphobia.

Learn something new every day, I had thought the restriction was on earning interest, not paying with interest? In any case, I'm sure a financial institution out there will have a financial product available for people who wish to borrow money without paying interest.

hehe

Strangely enough it’s a non-issue for the vast majority of muslims. 3 of my kids currently have student loans and I have a mortgage. However let’s not distract mrporsche from a good fap.

Pretty sure the Christian Bible suggests we ain't allowed to kill, steal, covet our neighbours Ass etc..etc... The sanctity of marriage must be obeyed till death do us part? Surely divorce should be illegal. Glass houses/bricks?

Its easy to cherry pick pieces of ancient texts and mould them to our own agenda to make spurious points about people we don't know, but people are just people. We are all the same given the chance, faults and all. Peace, gbn

Loads of people on here are fully paid up members of PETA, gay rights advocates, you name it they're it if it's something involving Islam.

Proper funny to watch if it wasn't so fking tragic.

That’s the weirdest way I’ve ever seen someone say “wait?! Me?? No you misunderstand me, I was genuinely interested in learning about how other cultures reconcile the needs of modern life with their religious beliefs!”

You should stick around. We need more like you here.

So are you saying you are incapable of seeing a news article and then looking up some more information on it.

Or doesn't that fit your thinly veiled racist agenda?

That’s how I understand it from Muslim friends. They’re not called ‘admin fees’, but they’re essentially the same thing, (if my understanding is correct), and these ‘admin fees’ work out costing about the same as the interest would do.

It's called Sharia finance - not that hard to look up and find on the net.

I suspect plenty of muslims read Pistonheads, maybe one will help you with an answer, if they hold their nose and ignore the rest of your post.

Imagine a world where you could just get on with your weekend instead of having to find reasons to justify disliking people. Get a life.

Why can’t these individuals or the Muslim finance council find that then ?

The artifice is suggesting the government needs to do something specific to help Muslims students.

Yet everybody here is suggesting that sharia finance is simple and any fool can look it up on google ??

The same world where I could take a student loan from the government like thousands of others ?
