We'll grant that recently, Tucker has gone over the edge on quite a few matters. But Ace really, really, really, wants Tucker to be wrong on everything, so he makes s**t up.
...Tuq'r Qarlson also embraces the Islamic ban on lending money -- finding that the normal capitalist practice of loaning money for interest is "usury."
Weird how every one of his thoughts is pro-Muslim and anti-Jew, huh?...
Read some actual facts, Ace:
Catholic teaching historically condemned usury, viewing it as immoral to charge interest on loans, but this perspective has evolved to allow for interest under certain conditions. In contrast, other religions, such as Islam, strictly prohibit interest (riba) in all forms, considering it exploitative, while some branches of Judaism permit interest under specific circumstances....[AI-genned answer on comparing RC teaching on interest to teaching of other religions.]
So. The Catholics USED to condemn charging interest on loans, but wiggled a bit. Some Jews do NOT permit interest; others permit under specific circumstances.
Islam is an outlier on the matter, but Carlson is not wrong. Actually, Ace is embarrassingly wrong.
It happens.
