Thread: Catholics sell school, comply with sharia law to create firs

WEST WARWICK — Rhode Island’s Islamic community paused yesterday afternoon to mark a milestone: the purchase of a former Catholic school and adjacent gymnasium building to serve as an Islamic elementary and middle school.

The Islamic School of Rhode Island — the state’s first and only — had been renting space from Sacred Heart Church for the last five years. But, on Nov. 19, the Islamic School bought Sacred Heart’s former school and gym for $750,000.

Yesterday, the school held a dinner in the gym to celebrate the purchase. Among the guests was the Rev. Richard A. Bucci, pastor of Sacred Heart, which extended an interest-free mortgage to the school.

That would be a sharia compliant mortgage since interest is not permitted under sharia law.

The Islamic School is much like any other Rhode Island school for youngsters from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade.

Yes, except for teaching karate, kickboxing, and the holy text of the Qur’an like this:

Sura (5:51) - “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.â€

Interest-free mortgage to a group that denounces Christianity and wants to destroy us through violence? Has the church thought about their parishioners that are losing their homes left and right?

Nahhhh, they saw the $$$$$$ and ran with it.I'm sure they worked out a sweet deal for the interest. The Catholic Church NEVER does something for free.
