Usury

Usury, in it's original meaning, is the practice of taking interest for monetary loans. It was originally condemned in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Usury is condemned in Judaic Religion, but was allowed to a limited extent when loans were made to outsiders.

Usury was originally condemned and forbidden in Christianity. Over a period of many years, Christianity relaxed their stance on usury.

Usury is condemned and forbidden in Islam. The Islamic condemnation of usury may be one of the driving motivations for escalating conflict in Islamic Countries. Neoliberalists are quick to point out that both Capitalism and economic development are missing in Islamic Theocracies. Having 23% of the world's population unavailable to western Capitalism has to be driving them wild with envy! It's just heartbreaking so see those people suffering when neoliberalism could do so much there.
