#1 Devon Ave - little Pak/India avenue.

When they each exploded their first nuke, they celebrated, but they do get along and shop at the same shops.

But I haven't read the local papers nor watched the local news in awhile so things might have changed.

#6 free enterprise, baybee. I don't see much of a problem with this, personally. No doubt the bank sells the house back at a profit equal to the current fixed interest rate. As long as non-muslims can get the same deal without religious discrimination, so what?

I'd think the Islamists would find it more alarming than we do. Homeowners make good citizens.

Yes, but you have to blow yourself up to qualify.

#8 steve..lol! The children blow up so quickly.

#9 Devon Bank said it uses the Islamic "murabaha" trade model to avoid problems that make traditional loans objectionable to devout Muslims.

What I wanna know is, why is it that just about everywhere Muslims are involved in something, it is always everything and everybody else that is supposed to bend to their will?

Interest is perfectly legal here, so get over it. If ya'll can't, go find someplace else to live. Asswipes.

#10 Melting pot or 57 flavors?

You know where John (Duke) Wayne and I stand, partner. Got that, pilgrim?

#11

cost plus an agreed-upon profit

In other words, interest.

Another name, another scheme to figure it, but it's still, in the end, INTEREST.

Call a horse a camel all you want; it's still a horse.

They're f*cking hypocrites.
