From the snippet:

To help close the home ownership gap among Muslim immigrants, the state’s housing agency is launching a new program offering Islamic mortgages.

Let me see if I understand this. The state agency is launching a program of interest free mortgage loans for Muslims in Minnesota?

That’s insanity. First, I would assume these loans are funded by taxpayers, either at the state level, or through a federal program the housing agency is participating in.

So taxpayers who are not eligible for these loans are funding them, while struggling with their own, non-interest free, mortgages?

Everyone involved in this should be in prison.

Preferential treatment for one group, based on religion - wouldn’t there be any lawyers to take this on?
Looks suspiciuosly illegal to me, but then I’m not a lawyer …
