  3. Sharia bans charging interest period

  4. You assume these guys have any idea what they're doing. Besides, interest has always been a thing in Islamic countries. They just have that rule so bankers can oust their rivals

  5. @Marcial Abrahantes  it's because the recipe and process doesn't and the demand is steady because people drink it like water.

  12. Islamic finance is an oxymoron. Sharia bans all interest.

  13. Turkey can't even afford concrete, let alone a gold reserve

  14. @Loredana Godorogea  cost of living is high in that city, you're deliberate vague on timeline, quality of cheese varies wildly, and your statement couldn't be more useless if you tried

  15.  @omedyie5066  no, I'm just telling you to quit backseat governing in the most assholistic way possible

  16. That's an absurd way to put it. The whole population has trouble with authority and envy his job. Most Turks are associated with him in the loosest way possible because they vote for lesser politicians that take bribes from the government.

  17. That's not how it works. Elections are stacked in favor of the incumbent, and larger losing parties are incorporated into the government or bribed or purged.

  18. Turkey has been living beyond its means with borrowed funds for 20 years and is now running a transparent Ponzi scheme

  21. They're stacked in favor of the incumbant. They serve the role of revealing which lesser politicians need to receive bribes in the form of government jobs. When the incumbent dies, they fight

  23. It's been rigged for ages. They have a party list system, meaning any number of parties run and after the election the parties form a coalition that reflects most votes. There are no barriers of entry forming a party, so most are tiny things with local politicians. However, the threshhold for getting seats in Parliament is as high as possible, so small parties much latch onto larger parties or simply throw out their votes. The incumbent President controls police censorship, national budgets, an appointment powers to any government job so the incumbant ALWAYS wins. The elections serve the purpose of finding who needs a cut of the government's power and money.

  26. Quit blaming idiot politicians. Like most Islamic states, Turkey was living far beyond its means using borrowed funds for decades.

  27.  @crtpo1809  but then Turkey would break the myth that they're a middle income state

  28.  @Paltheus  in theory, but Sharia is the given reason why Ankara cut interest rates. Of course, the real reason is because it's all a Ponzi scheme
