Its been around for a decade in America

“Guidance” is a group that does it.

I know several people who have shariah compliant home loans that have managed to weather this storm much much better then those who bought their homes with ARMs

Do a bit of research on it. It actually makes quite a bit of sense

It’s nothing terribly sinister. In order to make loans Shariah compliant, lenders and borrowers have to jump through a few extra hoops to make it look like no interest is actually paid. The interest is disguised as rent and fees, but the whole thing is kind of a sham.

I know Citibank offers these types of programs. Of course, given the extra administrative costs, a borrower in a Shariah-compliant loan ends up paying a higher interest rate, if you crunch the numbers. An non-Muslim could take one of these loans if they wanted to, I suppose, but that would be a foolish move on their part.

Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital and author of ‘The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets,’ says a big-government Obama administration will lead to an economic collapse on par with the Great Depression.
