Newcastle Utd breaking (sharia) law
The MCB has come out saying it's against Sharia for Muslim players to wear the new Newcastle Utd shirt with the Wonga.com sponsorship logo.

I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but would this also preclude sportsmen and women wearing, say, banking sponsorship? RBS, Barclays, Santander, etc.?

Possibly. But then you could argue that Barclays etc provide a banking service, whereas Wonga specifically profit from money lending and serve no other purpose. But i'm guessing.
Of more interest was this:
Interest free mortgage? I'm converting
Of more interest was this:
Under Sharia law, a Muslim is not allowed to benefit from lending or receiving money from someone, which means that earning interest is not allowed. Muslims comply by interest not being paid on Islamic savings, current accounts or Islamic mortgages.

I wonder if I could convert and not be very thankful

So as long as it's not called 'interest' then it's Sharia?! That sounds like a fudge of the highest order! At the end of the day the bank is still profiting from lending money, so it's breaking the spirit of Sharia no?

As we don't practice Sharia law in this country and are not likely to in the near future who actually gives a toss? those who are moaning about something as trivial as this really need to give their heads a good ******* shake!

We're talking about a political movement, an ideology, a legal system sliding in under the cloak of religion. The sooner you and people like you get this the better. You're useful idiots. It's Islam being discussed. Islam, Islam, Islam.

Well,I'm pleased we got St Jame's Park back, and the MCB can go suck on my Pork sword.
Player's never complained when they played with Virgin money on the strips.
New shirt prices have been announced £39.99 or £358.99 payable over 12 months installments.

We are not governed by Sharia law, so they can go take a running jump as far as I'm concerned.

Alan Pardew has just been reported as telling his players not to worry about the fuss surrounding the Wonga sponsorship deal, and instead concentrate on giving 4,251% on the pitch

Well a quick search seem to reveal that the banks buy the house, and then sell it to the person at a profit.
But, the persons name is registered on the goods from day 1, but they provide some kind of collateral.
They cannot be charged fees either.
Now here's how I see it.
That law does not permit interest charges/fees etc.
So house A is being sold for 100K
They prefer to pay 200K for the same house of say 15 years, rather than paying a certain amount for 15 years?
Very weird, because they're still paying 'fees' at the end of the day.

And to Urban, yes that's what Pete and I were getting at earlier in the thread - it's not called 'interest' so it's okay!

Part of the tradition was the whole family would pool money to buy property.
So everyone would put in to buy the first son a house, then the second etc, each eventually gettign their money back (I think this is the way it worked). Daughters are married off to the sons who have got this sort of support.
It's fairly medevial in approach but it does mean that islamic families are generally a lot closer than most.

No different to Jonathon Edwards initially refusing to compete on a Sunday.

Unless we should put in laws that forbid different parts of our society having traditions and concepts of their own?
