#2 Yep.. they don't trust the hindu kaffir banker with their money but they trust the maulana and his friend to invest it for them.

#3 Same thing happened in post-commie Albania, whole country taken in by a pyramid-scheme.

I dunno. Some times I figure good plumbing is some sort of quantum accident.

#4 No wonder they're so poor, no loans either for them, or by them, a sure formula for poverty.

#5 "Muslims are not in the mainstream...and the government, too, does not help them. Due to religious restrictions, they can neither take loans from banks to start some business nor can they give loans to anyone since both involve interest, which is an offence in Islam," Muslim religious leaders had said five years ago.

These religious leaders take a verse from the koran that bans usuary and apply it to the banking sector. This is not by accident. They wish to isolate the community from the mainstream and garner the resources for themselves. They will of course blame the Indian government for not helping them and demand assistance, which they can pocket.

#7 "instead of interest, which is prohibited in Islam"

So Islam perpetually turns back the clock on human rights, technological advancement, AND financing. Can anyone possibly wonder why it produces such backward societies?

#8 Hmph. Dividends are distributions of profits, so why not invest in the stock market. Of course, in thier mind, they'd want an ISLAMIC stock market.

Why? Because they don't trust the Kuf...

oh, never mind
