			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard on NPR &#8216;Marketplace Money&#8217; that Muslims don&#8217;t allow borrowing of money.<br />
I heard there were special Muslim-friendly borrowing institutions that have a system set up for Muslims to purchase housing, cars, etc.<br />
How do these work &amp; what is the word for these types of loans (I know &#8216;hadith&#8217; isn&#8217;t the right word)?<br />
Any &amp; all info would be appreciated.<br />
Thank you in advance for all your answers.<br />
<br />INTEREST=RIBA</p>
<p>[274-277] Those who spend their wealth secretly and openly by day and night, will have their reward with their Lord, and they have nothing to fear nor grieve. But those who devour interest315 become like the one whom Satan has bewitched and maddened by his touch.316 They have been condemned to this condition because they say, &quot;Trade is just like interest”,317 whereas Allah has made trade lawful and interest unlawfu1.318 Henceforth, if one abstains from taking interest after receiving this admonition from his Lord, no legal action will be taken against him regarding the interest he had devoured before; his case shall ultimately go to Allah.319 But if one repeats the same crime after this, . he shall go to Hell, where he shall abide for ever. Allah deprives interest of all blessing and develops charity;320 and Allah does not like an ungrateful, sinful person.321 As to those who believe and do good deeds, establish the Salat and pay the Zakat, they will most surely have their reward with their Lord and they will have nothing to fear nor to grieve.322</p>
<p>[278-281] O Believers, fear Allah and give up that interest which is still due to you, if you are true Believers; but if you do not do so, then you are warned of the declaration of war against you by Allah and His Messenger.323 If, however, you repent even now (and forego interest), you are entitled to your principal; do no wrong, and no wrong will be done to you. If your debtor be in straitened circumstances, give him time till his monetary condition becomes better. But if you remit the debt by way of charity, it would be better for you, if you only knew it.324 Guard against the disgrace and misery of the bay when you shall return to Allah: there everyone shall be paid in full, for the good or evil one has earned and none shall be wronged. </p>
<p>[282] O Believers, when you contract a debt for a fixed;325 term, you should put it in writing.326 Let a scribe write with equity the document for the parties. The scribe whom Allah has given the gift of literacy should not refuse to write. Let him write and let the one under obligation (the debtor) dictate, and he should fear Allah, his Lord, and should not diminish from or add anything to the terms which have been settled. But if the borrower be of low understanding or weak or unable to dictate (for any reason), then let the guardian of his interests dictate it with equity. And let two men from among you327 bear witness to all such documents. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her. The witnesses should be from among such people whom you approve of as witnesses.328 When the witnesses are asked to testify, they should not refuse to do so. Do not neglect to reduce to writing your transaction for a specified term, whether it be big or small. Allah considers this more just for you, for it facilitates the establishment of evidence and lessens doubts and suspicions. Of course, there is no harm if you do not put in writing the common transactions you conclude daily on the spot,329 but in case of commercial transactions you should have witnesses. The scribe and the witnesses should not be harassed:330 if you do so, you shall be guilty of sin. You should guard against the wrath of Allah; He gives you the knowledge of the right way for Allah has the knowledge of everything. </p>
<p>[283] If you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe to write the document, then transact your business on the security of a pledge in hand.331 And, if any one transacts a piece of business with another merely on trust, then the one who is trusted should fulfil his trust and fear Allah, his Lord And never conceal evidence332 for he who conceals it, has a sinful heart: Allah knows everything that you .<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
Follow the footnotes</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
315.The Arabic word riba&#8217; literally means &quot;increase in&quot; or &quot;addition to&quot; anything. Technically it was applied to that additional sum which the creditor charged from the debtor at a fixed rate on the principal he lent, that is, interest. At the time of the revelation of the Qur&#8217;an, interest was charged in several ways. For instance, a person sold something and fixed a time-limit for the payment of its price, and if the buyer failed to pay it within the fixed period, he was allowed more time but had to pay an additional sum. Or a person lent a sum of money and asked the debtor to pay it back together with an agreed additional sum of money within a fixed period. Or a rate of interest was fixed for a specific period and if the principal along with the interest was not paid within that period, the rate of interest was enhanced for the extended period, and so on.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, ‘Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.’ In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official, Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial ‘czars,’ ‘special advisor’s,’ and ‘officers’ he has chosen to come to the White House to have direct access to him. If one uses the criterion Obama laid out by which to judge his character, political ideology, and plans for the country, we can only conclude that the President is a far-Left extremist who disdains capitalism and free commerce, free speech in the open marketplace of ideas, Caucasian people who have accumulated wealth, and any dissent from the concepts propounded by his ‘regime.’ How do we know this? Look at his czars, special advisers, and officers. These are the ones closest to Obama.</p>
<p>John Holdren, science czar, advocates for population control using the most extreme measures, such as mandating the number of children Americans can have. He is also a proponent of ‘de-developing’ the United States, sending its agricultural practices and technology back to the 19th century. Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill elderly do not fit his definition of ‘human,’ and therefore can be expendable.</p>
<p>Cass Sunstein, regulatory czar and Harvard law professor, believes that animals should have the right to legal representation. If you try to get rid of rats in your home, a ‘concerned citizen’ could bring a lawsuit, with the rat as the plaintiff, to sue you for endangering a species. He also believes that if bloggers post something that turns out to be false, they should be prosecuted. In short, Sunstein is a Leftwing moonbat with Fascist leanings. Remember, Obama said to judge him by the people around him.</p>
<p>Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare czar, believes in using cost-benefit and comparative-benefit analysis to allocate healthcare resources. This means the fewer years you have left to live, the less cost-effective it is to treat you. Thus, most of those resources should be diverted from the elderly to younger people. This is the ‘rationing’ portion of ObamaCare that many of us have warned about. And this will be done even without the so-called ‘public option,’ which is not really what the debate about government control of healthcare is about in the first place. Even without the public option, the provision for rationing is inherent in the provisions of the bill, thanks to advisers such as Emanuel.</p>
<p>Van Jones, green jobs czar, is perhaps the most extremist of the extreme in the entire lot. As a self-avowed, self-identified Communist, Jones abhors liberty, the Constitution, the American way of life, and seeks to change it from top to bottom. Here is more on Van Jones.</p>
<p>Mark Loyd, FCC ‘diversity czar,’ supports Communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and believes that what Chavez did to squelch free speech in the media and seize the means of communication is a good model for the United States. His plan is to silence conservative talk radio by forcing ownership to change hands to minorities and by implementing a fee structure for licensing that will put most private broadcasters out of business. At that point, Loyd would make PBS, or NPR on the radio, the most powerful forces in broadcasting–controlled by the government, of course.</p>
<p>Due to the areas over which they have jurisdiction, the above-named ‘special advisers’ to Obama are the key players. Jobs, communication, healthcare, agriculture, population control–all of these amount to a major shift in the way America has operated as a Free Republic for over 200 years.<br />
Questions for consideration: Given these czars and special advisers who have offices in the White House with easy access to the President, how, then, should we judge Barack Obama’s ideas and plans for the country, just as he asked us to do? Why is a Communist operating out of the White House as one of Obama’s closet advisers? What can Americans reasonably expect over the next few years if the policies espoused by Loyd, Jones, Sunstein, Emanuel, and Holdren are implemented?<br />
<br />Amazing how you focus on the important issues &#8211;<br />
while others waste our time on unimportant issues like the economy, healthcare, war..<br />
.<br />
good for you !</p>

The World Wide Web brings much of the world&#8217;s knowledge into the reach of nearly everyone with a computer and an internet connection. The availability of huge quantities of information at our fingertips is transforming government, business, and many other aspects of society. Topics include search advertising and auctions, search and privacy, search ranking, internationalization, anti-spam efforts, local search, peer-to-peer search, and search of blogs and online communities.

		<description><![CDATA[During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, &#8216;Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.&#8217;
OK, we will.
And that is precisely the problem with Obama.
In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official, Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial &#8216;czars,&#8217; &#8217;special advisor&#8217;s,&#8217; and &#8216;officers&#8217; he has chosen [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WxS4bO5yr9s/2.jpg" align="left">During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, &#8216;Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.&#8217;</p>
<p>OK, we will.</p>
<p>And that is precisely the problem with Obama.<br />
In order to understand Barack Obama one must look beyond the official, Congressional-approved Cabinet choices to the truckload of unofficial &#8216;czars,&#8217; &#8217;special advisor&#8217;s,&#8217; and &#8216;officers&#8217; he has chosen to come to the White House to have direct access to him.</p>
<p>If one uses the criterion Obama laid out by which to judge his character, political ideology, and plans for the country, we can only conclude that the President is a far-Left extremist who disdains capitalism and free commerce, free speech in the open marketplace of ideas, Caucasian people who have accumulated wealth, and any dissent from the concepts propounded by his &#8216;regime.&#8217;<br />
How do we know this?  Look at his czars, special advisers, and officers.  These are the ones closest to Obama.</p>
<p>John Holdren, science czar, advocates for population control using the most extreme measures, such as mandating the number of children Americans can have.  He is also a proponent of &#8216;de-developing&#8217; the United States, sending its agricultural practices and technology back to the 19th century.  Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill elderly do not fit his definition of &#8216;human,&#8217; and therefore can be expendable.</p>
<p>Cass Sunstein, regulatory czar and Harvard law professor, believes that animals should have the right to legal representation.  If you try to get rid of rats in your home, a &#8216;concerned citizen&#8217; could bring a lawsuit, with the rat as the plaintiff, to sue you for endangering a species.  He also believes that if bloggers post something that turns out to be false, they should be prosecuted.  In short, Sunstein is a Leftwing moonbat with Fascist leanings.  Remember, Obama said to judge him by the people around him.</p>
<p>Ezekiel Emanuel, healthcare czar, believes in using cost-benefit and comparative-benefit analysis to allocate healthcare resources.  This means the fewer years you have left to live, the less cost-effective it is to treat you.  Thus, most of those resources should be diverted from the elderly to younger people.  This is the &#8216;rationing&#8217; portion of ObamaCare that many of us have warned about.  And this will be done even without the so-called &#8216;public option,&#8217; which is not really what the debate about government control of healthcare is about in the first place.  Even without the public option, the provision for rationing is inherent in the provisions of the bill, thanks to advisers such as Emanuel.</p>
<p>Van Jones, green jobs czar, is perhaps the most extremist of the extreme in the entire lot.  As a self-avowed, self-identified Communist, Jones abhors liberty, the Constitution, the American way of life, and seeks to change it from top to bottom.  Here is more on Van Jones.</p>
<p>Mark Loyd, FCC &#8216;diversity czar,&#8217; supports Communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and believes that what Chavez did to squelch free speech in the media and seize the means of communication is a good model for the United States.  His plan is to silence conservative talk radio by forcing ownership to change hands to minorities and by implementing a fee structure for licensing that will put most private broadcasters out of business.  At that point, Loyd would make PBS, or NPR on the radio, the most powerful forces in broadcasting&#8211;controlled by the government, of course.</p>
<p>Due to the areas over which they have jurisdiction, the above-named &#8217;special advisers&#8217; to Obama are the key players.  Jobs, communication, healthcare, agriculture, population control&#8211;all of these amount to a major shift in the way America has operated as a Free Republic for over 200 years.<br />
Questions for consideration:  Given these czars and special advisers who have offices in the White House with easy access to the President, how, then, should we judge Barack Obama&#8217;s ideas and plans for the country, just as he asked us to do?  Why is a Communist operating out of the White House as one of Obama&#8217;s closet advisers?  What can Americans reasonably expect over the next few years if the policies espoused by Loyd, Jones, Sunstein, Emanuel, and Holdren are implemented?</p>
