What is it with Minnesota and Islam? Taxpayers support the madrassa like charter school for Muslims and now have a state program where in essence the state is processing Shariah compliant mortgages for Muslims.

From IBD – Mortgage Madness

The Minnesota program, the first in the nation, will be administered by the state’s housing agency, which will buy homes, with taxpayers’ dollars, and resell them at higher prices to Muslim buyers.

To circumvent Islamic Shariah law, which, we’re told, forbids Muslims from buying or selling loans that charge interest, the transaction will have higher up-front costs, including the amount of interest that would have been charged over the life of the loan.

This is a clear mixing of religion and state, which runs afoul of the Constitution and should incite the American Civil Liberties Union to launch a complaint and file a lawsuit. Yet we’ve seen no word from the group that recently filed a lawsuit against a Muslim, mosque-based charter school that takes public funds.

Not only is this an affront to MN taxpayers of all other religions but it’s also an affront to private sector business. It’s also pandering from the state to a special interest group.
