I'm Muslim, Mr. "Intelligent". Go look up usury, Islam, and Islamic banking.
Usury is usury-- there is nothing in the bible about 5%. That's a subjective qualification you yourself are making. It's like saying a little adultery is fine. You have posts in this very forum talking about being fundamental with your piety-- you can't pick and choose what you read in the bible, you've said. Well....to me it sounds like you're currently picking and choosing.
Your lack of firepower in this discussion isn't your fault-- it's simply a line of attack that conservatives of Christian faith never receive. For the third and final time-- I encourage my American readers to question themselves as to why.
Dala...usury is defined as lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. I'm telling you right now, 5% (standard student loan) is not unreasonably high. And I assumed when you references Jesus that you were talking about the Bible. I'm clearly not a follower of Islam, so I don't see where I would care what the Islamic viewpoint on usury is. It's not a relevant issue. The only reason the Jesus issue would be a relevant point for me is because I'm a Christian, and I rather detailed why I don't think student loans would be considered unreasonably high interest. The Bible does not say lending money with interest is wrong, it says it's wrong for believers to do that with other believers. The context matters there.
