Wow, yeah, the big "difference" is when a person wants to buy a car or house and needs a loan, rather than charging interest, Islamic bank buys the vehicle or a house and sells it to the individual at a price higher than market value, and retain ownership on the car or a house until the money is paid - which is basically interest rates but they pretend it is not.
Or they give a corporate loan in which, in addition to repayment of the loan, the bank earns a share of whatever profit the company makes.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
