the more i learn about money and the economy, the less i know. one thing i do know is that the current riba backed money is one of the greatest fitnah known to mankind. can someone explain this please... where does the money that pays of the loans and interest to the banking corporations come from? it cannot come from the same source as the original loan as that would just create further interest based debts. does that mean the money has to come from the 'outside', ie from the money of another country? and the money of the other country will also have been generated as an interest based loan so does that mean on a global scale there will always be debt owed to the banking corporations? please explain in laymans terms!
