Government to introduce Sharia compliant student loans for Muslims

So that's 6 years of a student finance system that many muslims were unable or unwilling to take out loans to fund their studies

They made their choice then.

If the loans were considered un-Christian

It wouldn't have even been a consideration

By that do you mean they don't care about Christian interests or do you mean it wouldn't have been a consideration if it was un-Christian?

they don't care about Christian interests (and rightly so)

In a few years, we'll have halal cars, halal flats, halal roads, halal schools, halal computers, etc.

You do know the composition of the House of Lords? And how many MPs (and cabinet members during the coalition) boast about their christian faith?

Of course I do this doesn't mean our laws are based on Christianity (and given the laws we are currently seeing this I don't know of anyone who would make such a claim)

And yes I do and I have little time for them as well.

But your post smacks of whataboutery that has little relevance to the Issue.

I) we had a method of taking loans
2) some muslims chose not to use this (this is their choice)
3) Now we have 2 parallel systems (which are really the same) but the extra cost for running this will be burdened by ALL students


If you follow my posts you will see I have no real issue with this other than all students footing the bill for a minority.

The government has announced a Halal scheme to encourage more Muslims to attend university, specifically, student loans that don't garner interest.

The good news is everyone can apply, so we can all have Halal loans. While the set up is different the amount paid back is said to be the same, as it will be classed as a charitable donation and the loan itself will be drawn from a community fund (that's the public purse to you and me). Hopefully the scheme will be self sufficient within a few generations after enough loans have been repaid in. I mean after enough charitable donations have been made.

Of course, details are still being finalized, the government is currently working on a way to make the 'charitable donation' legally binding...legally binding charitable donations, that must be paid and is deducted from your salary. Isn't that a fun thought, it's just a 'wizard' idea. Kudos Cameron !

Is this a step in the wrong direction if we want to encourage integration, or is that not a thing anymore ?
