So basically you are still paying interest, but kind of disguising it by calling it something else. I guess they must think Allah is too dumb to see through such a ruse.

They do this in other ways. Since Islam allows them to have multiple wives, in Muslim nations the hookers call themselves "temporary wives". Hiring her for the night is "marrying her". Then when you're done with her that night, tell her 3 times "I divorce you", by Islamic law you're now divorced, and Allah is fooled.

Not defending Islam, but don’t observant Jews do something similar? There is a wire that encircles much of Manhattan that somehow allows the entire area to be exempt from certain Sabbath prohibitions.
