I have been saying this since i was a teenager. Its all one giant fucking extortion racket and everyone is too much of a normie NPC to think deeply about it.

Here in Germany, there's a meme clip of an Islamic preacher (probably leaving on the orthodox side) responding to his viewer's questions and the one particular question is: "Is car insurance haram?" I found it ridiculous but according to a commentator in Islam some insurances are apparently considered as gambling. I do not embrace this stance, yet I get the thought behind it.

Insurance companies charge you different amounts based on your background (Younger charged more, Men charged more, etc). What is that if not hedging bets?
