@WinterHold Christians prohibited interest bearing loans for a long time, but eventually accepted it because they understood it was a benefit to society and there were so many workarounds that the prohibition didn't accomplish anything.
Islam prohibits interest bearing loans, too, but then there's Murabaha, which is just a convenient work around. Exact same result and exact same amounts of money change hands. It's basically an interest bearing loan by another name. Hypocrisy, anyone?
So, just like the Jews, you can talk about not doing something all day but all you are doing is finding ways to skirt your own rules.

Why is it so?
