Muslims in many countries are excused paying bank charges

[aaken]

Even the thread name is wrong. Muslims are not excused paying bank charges, there are special bank account types for muslims in which they do not get any interest. They do pay the bank account charges. They just don't get any interest. Posting an article without even reading it

What's the big deal.

Maybe you should go back to your Daily Mail.

Interest charges are bank charges.

As for not reading the article, i did. May be it's the English language that you have difficulty in ?

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. These bank accounts (which already exist, at least here in belgium) you're talking about won't earn the owner of the bank account an interest. Ergo, it is the owner of the bank account who does not get the interests from the bank, not the other way around. I'll try to be even more clear. The muslim that opens such an account will pay his bank charges (for account opening, annual fees for the bank account, fees for the credit cards, fees for the ATM card and so on). But he will not get the interest rates. If the muslim guy asks a loan to the bank, he will pay the interests on the money he's borrowed from the bank. Ergo these "muslim spongers" are not getting any free hand out. I think you've been confusing the interest rates on a loan from a bank with the interest rates of a normal bank account.
