Newcastle and Wonga.com

[User removed 4]

Alan Pardew has told his Newcastle United players to forget all about the club's new sponsorship deal with Wonga.com.

He's told them to just get on the pitch and give it 4107%.

Talking about Newcastle, have you ever heard anything so stupid. Do they not release that part of this sponsorship probably helps to pay the over inflated player wages lol.

Newcastle United's Muslim players told wearing Wonga-sponsored shirts infringes Sharia law - Telegraph

Maybe being Musilm is the catch I could become religious for a cheap mortgage then that way if its a sin pretending to be mulim I will be forgiven because im Muslim, win win

I knew that part, but someone must make a profit out of it somewhere?

i understand you pay back a larger amount than the current market rate to make up the difference. ie you on a £200k property the bank buys it for you, and you pay the bank £300k for it over 300 installments. i believe long term you might do better of but at the beginning the payments would be about the same.

Sharia Law prevents the payment or receipt of interest.

Mortgages set up under Sharia Law create a type of lease or shared ownership situation.

back on the wonga/muslim thing, why is there an assumption that muslims have to observe sharia law. i've known a fair few muslims and i dont think any of them pay attention to sharia.

My experience as a mortgage broker is that they are Muslims when it suits.

They conveniently have a prayer meeting when you are chasing them for something, but are happy to fully embrace the current mortgage deals on offer from Santander, Halifax etc.
