Welcome to "Not on Our Dime".com
I will forward http://NotOnOurDime.com to this blog. I will try to spotlight government spending that is wasteful, especially government spending that supports Islamic Sharia Law.
The first one is from the proposed Minneapolis City budget. http://anti-strib.blogspot.com/2007/12/minneapolis-city-government-sucks-part.html
"Beyond connecting people to jobs and preparing future workers, we need tocontinue creating more jobs by also supporting our entrepreneurs and smallbusiness owners, who are responsible for half of all new jobs created. We’llsupport these small businesses with more than $4.7 million dollars of businessfinancing tools that provide:* market-rate loans for job creation,*low-interest loans to purchase equipment or make building improvements,* loansto purchase and rehabilitate small commercial and industrial properties, and*alternative financing loans with no interest to business owners whosereligious beliefs restrict them from receiving traditional interest-based financing.".
Actually, the supposed Islamic prohibition against paying interest for money was devised in the 1940's by Islamic reliegious leaders. The Koran basically says that you should not charge "usery" or exploitive interst rates. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=F79F2C0C-F8F2-443E-B4E6-A691308A72AE
"Now teaching at Duke University, (Timinur) Kuran finds that Islamic economics does not go back to Muhammad but is an "invented tradition" that emerged in the 1940s in India. The notion of an economics discipline "that is distinctly and self-consciously Islamic is very new." Even the most learned Muslims a century ago would have been dumbfounded by the "Islamic economics."
