FOSIS and other Muslim student groups have kicked off about the changes to Tuition fees because of the possibility they breach Islam's strict prohibition on interest.
Frankly LM has no sympathy whatsoever. Where have the ISOCS been over the years for the Muslim ummah organising or campaigning politically over causes like Palestine? The most useless Muslims are our students who sit on their arses or in the Student Union bar doing sod all claiming they don't do politics.
How interesting that a political decision which has caught FOSIS with it's pants down because they did nothing to politically campaign against it has come back to bite them. While I have seen campuses occupied by NUS students and Aaron Porter on the box regularly complete silence from ISOC's so serve you right you deserve everything this democratically elected government throws at you because of your incompetence and neglect.
Moreover, an indication of how supine and irrelevant Muslim students are politically is to watch the Govt reaction which implicitly will also be who cares, its not as if Muslim students despite their numbers have the ability to politically organise a campaign against politicians or letter write to their MP.

There should be no complaints that this doesn't conform to Islamic law as this is not an Islamic law based country. If these students would like to live their lives and all aspects of conforming to Islamic law then they should live in an Islamic country. In this case what they should be doing is lobbying the Muslim Council of Britain (or other similar body) to set up a group that they could apply to for loans that conform to the Islamic faith.
ReplyDeleteMuslims come to this country because we have one of the highest standards of living in the world. This standard of living has been created by our capitalist system.
ReplyDeleteMuslims want to come here, and live of our backs through the advantages that our culture gives them, yet they refuse to contribute.
If Muslims do not want to pay interest then dont get a mortgage or Student loan, we will not let you turn our country into some Islamic hellhole, the very ones that you turned your back on and left.
Just another reason why Muslims should never be allowed to step foot in the free west.
