    It's the borrowers paying the interest not the banks .


    The Torah and later sections of the Hebrew Bible criticize interest-taking, but interpretations of the Biblical prohibition vary. One common understanding is that Jews are forbidden to charge interest upon loans made to other Jews, but obliged to charge interest on transactions with non-Jews. However, the Hebrew Bible itself gives numerous examples where this provision was evaded


    Originally, the charging of interest, known as usury, was banned by Christian churches. This included charging a fee for the use of money, such as at a bureau de change. However over time the charging of interest became acceptable due to the changing nature of money, the term 'usury' came to be used for interest above the rate allowed by law.[citation needed] The notion of "Christian finance" refers to banking and financial activities which came into existence several centuries ago.

    Best price on Lib Dems is 1/2 for the North Shropshire election.

    I think it's fair to say that there are similarities between the past and present, as actions in Eastern Europe, such as the Ukraine and Belarus, and latterly Poland prompted the exodus of Jews, that then settled in Germany. They were probably wary of travelling much further, due to the attacks on jews in Ireland and Wales at that time.

    So you can pretty much add a fair percentage of the jewish deaths in WWII to the already massive tally from communism.
