Yes. It is rather about the principle in itself. When does it come to
be usury ? In other words, taking advantage of someone who has
misfortune. No need to be christian or muslim, this goes back to

cases a form of colonization. Much can be said about this, but by far
it exceeds the context of this mailing list.
