    Difference being us "invaders" have long established the new way of life in our respective countries where we reside, now these Islamists want us to change how we have lived for a long time.

    If I were an Australian Aboriginal I think I'd probably find this comment hilarious.

    If a Muslim banker wants to give Muslim people interest free mortgages, isn't that okay? Seems to me it doesn't need to be enshrined into law.

    this would be the same thing as if the domino's pizza founder wanted to give christians discounted pizza. i don't see a problem with it. some view it as preferential treatment while others may view it as "looking out for your own"..

    if the muslim banker runs the bank, can't he set his own interest rates?

    The article's title is misleading. First of all, Muslims aren't looking to go OUTSIDE of the already established law of the land. They just want to add certain legal procedures that would not necessarily contradict the law as it is:
    1. Family law: which would include things like inheritance, divorce, marriage, etc. This is just strictly between the family and as long as no one is getting treated ridiculously unjustly and all parties involved are in agreement to these laws, then it really should be none of anyone's business.
    2. Islamic banking actually is getting a lot of interest in non-Muslim countries. There is actually a system in place, it's not just loans without interest, that ensures the bankers get their money back, with profit, and that the loanee is not abused by insane interest rates. considering that a large role in the latest economic collapse was played by such loans, many corporations are interested in Islamic banking. I would be against it applying to ONLY Muslims though - I think that's discrimination. If people opened Islamic banks in Australia, it should be open to everyone.

    I mean give it to everyone at that rate type deal. If a Muslim wants to bank based on those laws for everyone, he or she should be able to!

    are you basing your argument on religion or not?

    it is an example of how one country favors those of one faith over another. same as what people on here seem to be implying is happening in the original post.

    in this country you have freedom of religion, that is of course, unless you are Muslim...

    Gonna have to disagree big time on that one.

    I guess that's why they are allowed to pray on Madison Avenue and close traffic? Muslims are given equal provisions, same as any other religious group.

    I feel no guilt for this. Nor slavery. Not my fault, nor my job to "make it right."

    Enough... we're all equal and anyone sayin they're gettin shortchanged is selling somethin...

    yeah what about that mosque/cultural center near ground zero?

    what about that douchebag preacher who threatened to burn the koran, then relented, then burned it anyway setting off riots causing deaths in the arab world?

    what about the burning of the mosque construction site in kentucky?

    real tolerance here in the states... :roll:

    Me supporting Obama had nothing to do with white guilt.

    It had to do with John McCain selling his soul and Sarah Palin being a fucking idiot.
