They know it is wrong, and they know how I feel towards some of the things which they do/don't do in their life. As far as doing it in a "polite way", I kind of have a problem with that, so I've just been avoiding talking to them since they bought the house. However, sooner or later, we will obviously have to talk and then please make dua may Allah put the right words in my mouth. Ameen.

If they know it's wrong and they know how you feel about it, then would they be expecting a congratulations from you?

Unless you wish to do nahi anil munkar, I would say not to broach the subject. However if they bring it up themselves, you can simply tell them that they know how you feel about what they have done so they cannot expect a congratulations from you.

This is unfortunately the problem nowadays... people do not realize that riba is a sin that is compared to being greater than incest with ones own mother.

May Allah save us from riba, Ameen.
