"Islam forbids interest (called riba). Muslims are not allowed to trade in interest and countries like Malaysia, UAE, Turkey and other Muslim countries have Islamic Halal Finance which is a substitute for interest driven systems and takes a profit margin rather than interest from the lendee."
Yes, indeed: In C. K. Meek's 'Land Law and Custom in the Colonies' - extracts of which are available on my web-site: www.firstsources.info, on the 'Land' page - he devoted an entire chapter (XIX) to 'Land and Muhammadan Law', and it's fascinating reading. Yes, farmers couldn't 'borrow' funds for equipment, plant etc., no, indeed, only dirty Jews lent funds for development; BUT they could 'sell' their farm to a Muslim, who would then let them 'rent' or 'lease' it back, i.e. as permanent peonage. In northern Africa, the British immediately set up Agricultural Development Banks, offering loans at much lower rates than the Muslim 'purchase price', and thereby destroying their scam.
Of course, once land has become Muslim, it belongs forever after to Allah (zakat) and can never be sold back to a kaffir.
He mentions halal killing too: 'toxic blood' ?! Blood is not toxic, per se, Kuranda, it's just blood, especially while it's still being pumped around the body (or do Muslims not believe that ? Do they believe that blood is dirty ?) The traditional method of slaughtering animals in the West is to do it as quickly as possible, and certainly not to let the animal linger even if it is looking towards Mecca and contemplating its relationship to Allah in the meantime. Halal is needlessly brutal, and I'm sure that PETA and the Greens have great trouble squaring their support for Islam with that aspect of halal. Maybe not. Nah.
