Can we skip King Charles?

Islam lets you molest children. That's what King Charles likes about Islam.

He's old, he'll be dead soon. The Queen dragged on so long because she didn't want her own son to be the King of anything.

Just look at the god awful art he's commissioned. He looks like a villain from Ghostbusters.

This is the guy who claims to be a descendant of Vlad the Impaler. He owns property in Transylvania.
King Charles III is connected to Vlad the Impaler, the historical figure who inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, and he owns properties in Transylvania, though not necessarily a castle. The connection comes through Queen Mary, the consort of George V, who is a common ancestor.6 While Bran Castle is often associated with Dracula, historical evidence suggests that Vlad the Impaler never actually resided there. King Charles has a property in the Zalán Valley, which is part of his estate in Transylvania, and he visits the region regularly. His interest in the area dates back to his first visit in 1998, and he has since developed a strong affinity for Romania, particularly Transylvania.
Is this actually true? No clue, I didn't personally trace his lineage.

Either way he's creepy as fuck. I wouldn't trust any child around him.

An interest free mortgage would save you a ton of money. Would almost be worth converting just for the savings alone. I'm sure you could be a non-practicing Muslim. How would they know? Is there a vetting process?

Zero need for converting. Simply acknowledge that it was traditionally frowned upon within Christendom just as much.

The Catholic Church, drawing from biblical teachings and early Christian tradition, condemned usury as a sin, associating it with greed and exploitation of the poor.
 
its ridiculous to have a religious belief be a requirement to qualify for a loan. Financial products should be required to be available to anyone who meets the financlal requirements. Furthermore, I don't even think these loans are magical - don't think for a second that they aren't using another scheme to get their cut.
 
@Nink: I always thought "usury" was lending money at exorbitant rates of interest in such a way as to take advantage of someone in desperate need, i.e. loaning a starving guy x amount of money to buy bread on the understanding that he'll repay you 5x the money at the end of the week. Just lending in and of itself can't be sinful because it takes into account the time value of money, and (e.g.) business loans are a great engine of development in free market societies

Eh I don't speak with too much authority on the matter. I merely base it off my limited understanding of Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' where the character Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, provides loans to Christians in a setting where Christians were restricted from lending to each other at interest due to the Catholic Church’s prohibition on usury.
 
@ChevChelios

From what I know (much as that may be) lending at interest at all has always been considered as usury in islam and, at least in relation to other jews, judaism. It also used to be the same in Christianity. which is why jewish money lenders in medieval Europe were so popular, Christians were banned from the market. Of course once the Renaissance came attitudes changed and Christians began to lend, which may have helped the rise of Europe. So if usury a sin? Well if you're from some desert religion, yes, at lease among your own kind.
 
As a complete side discussion: the bank of Canada will have a new $20 with Charles on it for 2027. It is some group of over paid idiots entire job to spend 5 years putting a new portrait on a bank note. And they can’t do 2 things at once, all work on the $5 with Terry Fox is delayed until the new $20 comes out.
