Pssst! Wanna know how you can go into the red at your bank without much of a penalty, while most people are being shafted right, left and centre?
Easy. Convert to Islam.
Here’s how.
Religious discrimination? You bet!

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

A bank account where an overdraft costs everyone except Muslims an arm and a leg?
ReplyDeleteHmm!
Should your really be following up dubious stories from the Allied Press? I doubt if this story will stack up - particularly since you are comparing apples (interest bearing accounts) with oranges (Sharia compliant accounts) (Yes, I know these are cobbled together, like Credit Derivatives, but they are NOT the same as interest bearing accounts, so please do not give wind to these prejudices (we have enough of our own).
ReplyDeleteIt's the Daily Hatemail... I'd take anything from there with a Dead Sea-sized pinch of salt, to he honest.
ReplyDeleteSo just go in the bank and shout Allah hu akbar when you start your account.
ReplyDeleteSadly no, on a sharia account, overdrawing does literally cost a hand first off then the arm and a leg for a second offence. Just don't try overdrawing a third time anywhere near a pile of stones.
