The govt. has responded to a number of letters from Muslims concerned about lack of halal student finance. We're disappointed.

- Muslims are tired of waiting - we were promised this in 2013 and we've been getting holding responses like this ever since.

Post-Brexit UK should be looking for any opportunity to support our economy. Islamic finance is a massive opportunity and the UK has been a leader historically. But if Muslim students can't even go to uni without compromising their faith...[2/4]
We cannot seriously claim to be a world hub for Islamic finance.
We're not asking for more favourable treatment - we're just asking for the same opportunity.

If you need help on structuring, talking to the community, coming up with cheaper alternatives etc. etc. - we're here (us and all other senior Islamic finance professionals). Talk to us.
But please, no more holding responses. 8 years is enough. [4/4]
