Imagine the hundreds of billions Americans could save on their home mortgages each year if a new Constitution adopted Sharia Law rules concerning interest. But would it be wrong to cherry-pick just that provision?
The new constitution I would want to see would absolutely allow Muslims or anybody else to form their own community and organize it in such a way as to eliminate interest. If Muslims should gain a majority in a state legislature, they could organize the state banking institutions to operate sans interest. But they wouldn't be able to force such concepts onto anybody else, and they wouldn't be able to initiate a federal policy because that would not be authority given to the federal government to do.
