A compass pointing the way to Mecca is embedded in a new MasterCard aimed at Muslims.
Gulf state-owned bank Al Hillal in the United Arab Emirates has rolled out the new bank card which complies with Islamic laws banning charging interest on loans in a bid to appeal to the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims.
Islamic law or Shariah forbids ‘riba’, the charging of interest on loans, because it enables the rich to exploit the poor, creates social and economic tension and encourages risk, according to scholars.

That is how you control corporations. Where can I get one?

Edit @ Insanity: Money is made because merchants pay for the transactions. All credit card transactions have merchant fees. The one that have cash rewards charge more from the merchants. That is a price of accepting charge card as a method of payment.

It's called capitalism. Generally speaking, most of these cards are prepaid, so that the user doesn't incur charges. There are many other prepaid credit cards that also don't charge fees.

I couldn't care less. Let them have a credit card pointing to Mecca. Maybe they will follow it.

It's not a part of western culture therefore it makes you feel uncomfortable?

there is something wrong with the Physics of that claim; whether or not it pointed to Mecca would depend where on the planet you were
