I'd never claim to be an expert on any religion, let alone Islam, but I think the problem

is not with lending, even with lending with interest, but with lending at rates that are considered exploitative or immoral. And I don't think there's a hard-and-fast rule on what constitutes exploitation or immoral lending, it's up to personal interpretation.

That's modern Islam, anyway. I don't think it always used to be like that, but stuff changes over time innit.
