In the name of which God???

When Christians do it, it's alright, it appears...

Maybe it's worth thinking about the Western / Capitalist god 'mammon' vs the Muslim rules about how to create, manage and distribute money.

'Usury' or the practice of lending money at interest is the capitalist prerogative and assumed to be 'ok'.

When US banks replace Islamic banks, it's not 'jihad' but 'liberation' and 'democracy'.

Only 'economic democracy' will reveal true godliness!
