How is it fair that some people can avoid fees and interest and others have to pay? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2523599 Religion should not be used like this. So don't pay interest or fees. No one is stopping you from not buying things which have fees or interest attached. It's not like these people are 'avoiding' paying such things, per se. Just like religion isn't 'being used like this' per se. It just is what it is, and these people are sticking to their guns. Everyone else should have stuck to theirs as well... but nope, didn't happen that way. Sorry bub. All they will do is raise the price of something else to compensate for the loss, so really this isn't going to gain the average person much if anything. 'Cause the bankers got EVERYONE by the balls at the end of the day. |

| prisonerno6 User ID: 24357052 United States07/21/2015 05:30 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The mayor of Seattle and his housing committee have unveiled a plan to increase housing in the city, with a portion of the plan proposing the offering of Sharia law-compliant loans for Muslim residents. Quoting: christian Among the number of ideas offered to make housing more affordable for Seattle residents is a segment that addresses Muslim beliefs, as Sharia law forbids usury for its adherents. “For our low—and moderate—income Muslim neighbors who follow Sharia law—which prohibits the payment of interest or fees for loans of money—there are limited options for financing a home,” the proposed plan reads. “Some Muslims are unable to use conventional mortgage products due to religious convictions.” “The City will convene lenders, housing nonprofits and community leaders to explore the best options for increasing access to Sharia-compliant loan products to help these residents become homeowners in Seattle,” it says. Arsalan Bukhari, chapter executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the Puget Sound Business Journal that he believes that there are approximately two hundred Seattle residents who identify as Muslim that avoid taking out home loans because of their religion. “[T]hey don’t want to pay interest,” he said. Mayor Ed Murray mentioned the proposal at a recent press conference, which will go to city counsel for consideration. “We will work to develop new tools for Muslims who are prevented from using conventional mortgage products due to their religious beliefs,” he said.

User ID: 1138320 United States07/21/2015 05:35 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A great way to facilitate these loans would be to: charge any non muslim additional fees and higher rates to subsidize said sharia loans.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 53606355  Greece07/21/2015 06:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wtf...here in Greece Muslims from Thrace have privileges too. Their children can go to the medical school(including other top schools), having C/D grades while all others must be like A+ students. And all "minorities" have similar privileges too, while we pay for them, at least us that have jobs and pay our taxes, our loans and our cost of living having no help. This smells like a bigger plan to make us hate them and drag us to a WW3, can't find any other rational explanation. |

Wouldn't fly. And this won't fly and they know it, unless they give everyone and Muslims the same deal they wish to give Muslims. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53606355 The PTB bankers want to replace Christians with Muslims because Muslims can more easily controlled by their Mullahs and Shariah law. Look at the Taliban. They keep the population is line with hardly any cost or rebellion. Christian preacher can't do that. Christians would rebel. That's why they are promoting Muslims. |

| deanoZXT User ID: 66505870 United States07/21/2015 06:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are like 5 muslims in Seattle. The rest are northern european gay men and she-men.... Quoting: TheToolMan  I've lived in the Metro Seattle area forever. I've never seen Muslims in Seattle or the Tacoma area. Maybe their is a plan to move them in soon... Most of the foreign people are Mexicans, Ukrainians and India Indians. By foreign I mean non American speaking. There are lot's of other "minorities" in the region, but they've been established for generations. All though the true minorities in the Seattle region are white, straight, republican men. -Everything's more awesome when you lean into it. |
