The reason I'd like to outlaw interest is simply to give everyone the chance to start with a clean slate again, rather than having kids pay for their parents' follies in decades to come.
That's precisely why I'm against outlawing things.
I don't think it is nice to organize an externally imposed government and impose, by force, things which I think are moral. It is counterproductive, unlikely to succeed, and has huge deficits in the morality department. Inevitably, attempts to outlaw things create worse problems than they are trying to cure.
And, as you note, the banking cartel has befriended big government wherever the two are found, and has perverted it to the purpose of protecting usury rather than regulating or preventing it.
The admonitions against usury are not only found in Islam. They are also found in the foundation works of Judaism and of Christianity.
Usury is wrong, but so is a Spanish Inquisition to prevent it.
