#2 Muslims are also not allowed to give or receive interest on savings or loans. The Islamic Bank will treat interest as a rental fee.

#3 What a stupid move. I guess I really don't have a good take on the Brits-I had never thought of them as particularly smitten with national suicide. Islamic Bank of Britain??? Astounding.

#4 Well, folks, this makes perfect sense! If you don't want total confusion and economic collapse, you'll need an established Central Bank - how can you properly run a country without one? Duh! Sheesh, it's so obvious, yall.

#5 Actually, it seems like a good idea to me. Makes it easier to follow the money trail.

#6 If shari'a law is allowed by one area of British law, how easy will it be to keep it out of other areas of British law? Precedence seems to make a pretty big deal in court cases here in the US; would I be wrong in thinking it would do the same in Britain?

#7 The Muslims probably objected to interest being earned on their welfare payments going to the Dhimminis.

Well said, Frank.

jules, why is it that no one seems to understand how this is the camel getting its nose into the tent? Excellent observation!
