OK, I just made this up... I'm sure it's been thought of before but I've never heard it. It's really lame, but I chuckled.

Question: Why is Islam incompatible with Capitalism?

[spoil]Answer: They're not allowed to draw a profit.[/spoil]

Please don't kill me!!!

haha yeah, that is good, though, and this is boring.

[spoil]the joke would technically work better if you made the question 'Why is Islamic banking incompatible with capitalism?'. It should then cover you for any fatwas![/spoil]

Ditto ...

[spoil]Just to put the matter straight, Islam and Islamic banking are ALL IN FAVOUR of making profits -- indeed, the market place to buy/sell goods is about profit. It is only interest on money which is forbidden .. since the aim is for profit (and thus risk) sharing.[/spoil]

Well you are also allowed to draw the Prophet, but no joke bears that close an examination.

My comment was purely to help prevent nekokate being issued with a fatwa (!!), because in the case I mentioned there would be some question as to her desire to cause offence.

I hope that's helped clear this important matter up.

I saw someone stealing my mum's garden gate today. I didn't say anything, though, cos I didn't want them to take her fence...

[spoil]I think I get it .. a play on "offence" / "her fence"[/spoil]
