I'm guarantee many millions more people care about Sharia Law than miniature Irishmen.

Bitcoin has enough challenges as it is. The press is constantly associating bitcoin with SilkRoad, money laundering, etc etc... The last thing bitcoin needs is to become the official currency of the 'jihad'. Hopefully it's NOT sharia compliant in any way at all.

You're not just ignorant, you're an asshole.  No I'm not a muslim.

Such an ugly ignorant comment.

Maybe improve your knowledge rather than defending your ignorance.

Thanks for the clarification; however, you are still saying that you want Muslims to be excluded because Muslims using bitcoin will deter ignorant people.

Bitcoin is opt-in. If Muslims want to use it, that's great. If ignorant people don't want to use it, then they can swim in their cesspool of dollars, but maybe they could overcome their ignorance and prejudice instead.

Fortunately, who you or anyone else thinks should use Bitcoin has little bearing on who is able to use it.

I hope it is not religion-compliant! And that it is not fantasy-compliant. And that is not horror movie-compliant. And so on.

Much as I share your lack of religious sentiment, I must say that the thought of some ultra-wealthy Saudis coming to the realisation that Bitcoin is Sharia compliant gives me a bit of a stir... in a good way.

[Gabi]

  I understand what you mean, and indeed, same here!

But i think that these rich saudis won't really care about that. 

[DobZombie]

I hope it's non compliant to EVERYTHING (except Satoshi's White Paper)

[UPENtXF]

Yes, this is actually a very important question. So, who will be the final authority on this, and when can we expect the final verdict?

[Gabi]

Actually no, it isn't exactly an important question

I've heard from good sources that even visiting bitcointalk is against Islam.

I wouldn't risk my god's allegiance for a few bitcoins.

The better question would be: Is Bitcoin Kosher ? 

Because if it is, there could be big money coming at us...

Lol ... coming at you in ways you could never imagine.

... someday you might want to notice who's sitting in the bull-pen of the opposition too.
