Re: have anyone read this horrible book…
Actually the Jewish Tanakh also forbids usury (interest), Ezekiel 18:13 even seems to suggest the capital punishment for it.
Deuteronomy 23:19
Exodus 22:25
Leviticus 25:36-37
Ezekiel 18:8-9, 13, 17](Ezekiel 18 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre)
Ezekiel 22:12](Ezekiel 22 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre)
Psalm 15:5](Psalms 15 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre)
Proverbs 22:7](Proverbs 22 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre)
Proverbs 28:8](Proverbs 28 / Hebrew - English Bible / Mechon-Mamre)
Nehemia 5:1-19
Christian canon is not exactly in favour of it either…
Luke 6:35
Matthew 25:27](http://php.ug.cs.usyd.edu.au/~jnot4610/bibref.php?book=%20Matthew&verse=25:27&src=KJB)
Luke 19:23
The Hindu Vedas/Manu-Smriti and the Buddhist Jatakas are also against it.
It’s time devout Jews, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists switched to Islamic banking.
