I do not agree with this Islamic bank concept. have you ever heard a Hindu bank, or a Jews bank, a Sikh bank, a Christian bank for that matter? it is ridiculous.

It's a money making racket, like any other. It is taking advantage of the programming that muslims have been subjected to, that is getting paid interest is bad. So, you have a captive market of people who don't have to be offered competitive interest rates. Basically, Islamic banking, instead of charging interest, they pay/charge you a percentage of profit/commission. For some reason, as long as you don't call it interest, it is not interest. In this day and age, where inflation eats away at the buying power of your money, not being able to get interest on your savings is like giving money away for free. At the very least, you need to consider that aspect. (Inflation during the gold standard era was low). But as an American businessman once said, a sucker is born every minute.
This tactic was used by the Medici in Medieval Italy to get around Rome's usury laws (like Muslims, medieval christians were also not allowed to charge interest on loans. That was a jewish thing). The Medici instead charged/paid commissions for currency conversions (you took a loan in one currency, paid it back in another and a commission was ostensibly charged on the conversion).

There is no Hindu or Jewish or Sikh or Christian system of banking. Do you know why ? - Because these religions do not offer a comprehensive SYSTEM of banking. The scriptures of these religions do not discuss economics or a way to conduct banking. ISLAM is the only faith to speak in detail about every aspect of running a bank. This is not a Muslim bank. This is an Islamic bank - it is a SYSTEM.

The Population of India is 80 % Hindu. So, by the Law of Proportional Representation, 80 % of the Public Holidays should be Hindu Holidays. yet, the Post Office observes 4 Islumic Holidays, but ONLY TWO HINDU Holidays !!!!!

In Business there is something called "opportunity"
Islamic Banking is growing at a rate of 10-15% per year and with signs of consistent future growth.[12] Islamic banks have more than 300 institutions spread over 51 countries, including the United States through companies such as the Michigan-based University Bank, as well as an additional 250 mutual funds that comply with Islamic principles. It is estimated that over US$822 billion worldwide sharia-compliant assets are managed according to The Economist

On Judgement day three types of person will be called for trial first 1> King 2> Priest who preach religion 3> Rich man
They will have to justify their power and if proven guilty will be thrown to the hell-fire; That is the place where King have to justify their attrocities, priest have to justify their so called call for Jihaad and rich has to justify their proper earning and spending;

Hindu bank could be established if you prove that there is a religious binding on spending or earning or lending money specified in the hindu scriptures which most of the hindus follows

@thisthat - you should know that I am among you but I accepted this coz I felt better; You didnt coz you felt that good so I dont have any problem with that; Any way 700 years of Muslim rules if they would have started breaking temples and started forcibly conversion let me know how many temples would have survived and this date the population ratio would have been reversed.Look at the Xtian countries all with full majority;
