Yes, and? Does that give an excuse to exploit most of them (which is what usury, interest, insurance, etc. are), only to have a few benefit?<p>As I pointed out, Islamically, the rich people of the community would be responsible to aid the society. A tremendous amount of wealth is in the hands of a tiny, tiny minority of the population. They can put their money in interest bearing accounts and bonds, and live purely off of interest. This is exploitative, and not fair, and makes the problem worse.
