Proposed Changes to the Koran: Part 1
by Mr JugglesMy knowledge of Islamic doctrine is admittedly limited — I’m the same guy who thought that “Mecca” was a low-carb energy drink until early last week. Apparently, the Koran prohibits the paying or receiving of interest. It’s high time for Muslim leaders to update that belief because they’re missing out on the American dream and the greatest invention of the modern age: sophisticated financial products. Why should I be able to own 6 condos in Miami (and a duplex in the Valley) while Muslims everywhere are forced to barter for housing?
It just seems like the type of situation where Muslim leaders should get together and say “Ok, from now on, this rule only applies to excessive interest. No loan sharking but that mortgage from Countrywide is A-OK.”
I bet Mohammed would have been all about 4.4% fixed rate mortgages. He was only pissed because he had bad credit and the best he could do at the local medieval mortgage broker was a 7.8% 5/1 ARM. No way you want to put that kind of financing on a herd of mangy goats; you can’t get gap insurance on them! I’d be pissed too.
I really like what you guys are usually up too.
This type of clever work and reporting! Keep up the very good works guys I’ve included you guys to my blogroll.

not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself
and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas
out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thanks!
