Jordan: New Fatwa bans credit cards because charging interest is “unislamic”

Hilarity…

So it’s ok to make infidels pay a Jizya tax to keep them protected from Muslims who hate them, but it’s against the Koran to charge Muslims interest on a credit card.  Wrap your brain around that twisted logic.

Jordanian Fatwa Dept Bans Use Of Credit Cards

Jordan’s General Department of Iftaa has issued a fatwa banning the use of Visa and MasterCard credit cards because they charge interest if the bill is paid late – and interest is forbidden by the Koran.

    Lack of logic in Islam's fight against interest on credit cards?
    So, what else is new? WHEN has Islam EVER been logical ?

    This is correct. Islam does prohibit the charging of interest. The Islamic world has to make all kinds of fancy financial moves to avoid this 'law'. Seeing as all modern economic theory is based upon the charging of interest on loaned money, this 'law' is one of the reasons why the Islamic world has such underdeveloped economies.

    The Jizya tax exempts the payor from military service. Please note that the concepts of taxation and conscription into military service are functions of a national government. Conflict between church and state is one of the issues that are the root cause of warfare between Islam and the rest of the world.
