Canadians vote 82% against sharia law banks

Make no mistake; these banks/groups will charge 0% interest, but as was pointed out, the special fees will add up to an amount that equals teh bank had you gone there.

There is no discount or 'better deal'

I have to ask, has anyone here ever haggled or bartered with a Muslim?

Had a Friend who was a Cashier in a grocery store a while back, who had to
continually try to explain (& often to the same folks...over and over) that they
can't barter their till total at an Extra Foods. Does that count?

Close enough if you got the gist.

I used to love it when they would offer me "cash" as kinda like an added personal bonus...

Yep- I barter - and always when I buy shoes- I want an extra pair of laces thrown in. They wear out / break before the shoes do- send those young clerks into a spin - with I can't make that decision- well find one that can I say.

No more than it has to do with lapidation. If I loan you money at 0 interest,whetehr i call it halal or not, it is halal by definition, and thus fully conformant to Shari'a. So, if we ban Shari'a altogether, we'd be banning a lot of stuff, including vegan restaurants since they conform to Shari'a too whether they intend to or not.

Nope. The fact that a thing or action is halal is not the criterion. The criterion would be whether you permit or forbid an action BECAUSE it is halal.

An analogy is discrimination. If you're black and you get fired, that's not discrimination. It's only discrimination if you get fired BECAUSE you're black.

Public Banking Conference: June 2-4, 2013 – State budget deficits can end forever

By: Carl_HermanTags: *video/hyperlinks live at source*
Public Banking Institute is having our 2013 conference in San Rafael (Northern California) on June 2, 3, 4 to publicly present solutions in banking and money worth tens of trillions of dollars to Americans.

You literally have nothing more valuable to attend to (registration info here).

Among public banking’s available benefits:

State budget deficits end as state-owned banks create at-cost credit. The US has only one state with increasing budget surpluses: the only one with a state-owned bank.
State taxes can be entirely paid with ~5% public mortgages and credit cards.
Trillions in taxpayer surpluses are returned from documented government CAFRs (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report) as at-cost credit replaces rainy-day funds.
Truth in banking opens debt-free money: US national debt is ended forever, and we have full employment for the best infrastructure we can imagine (documentation here, here, here).
