What would it take to start a bank that didn't charge interest? Is it possible?

No clue how they work. I read that they can now be found in the US, as there is demand for those types of products. Don't even know if "bank" is the correct term for them.

Maybe corporal punishment or imprisonment for default? A painful public humiliation of 20 whacks with the rattan cane? Chop off a hand? Pluck out an eye? Haul your sister away because you used her as collateral for the loan?

Not sure if any of that applies but I wanted to illustrate that halal may exceed the norms of a judeo-Christian nation with constitutional protections.

judeo-Christian

that term is oxymoronic and puke-inducing

I know what you mean but it is what it is and I'm thankful we have it. I look around the world and there is no country I'd rather be in ... though after understanding how cortupt this government has become, Russia has looked inviting at times.

with constitutional protections.

Those don't seem to apply as much as they used to for some strange (((reason))).
