There's an interesting inter-faith action going on in London and the US. Representatives of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are marching on bankers and presenting them with copies of the Torah, Christian Bible and Qur'an, as a demonstration against usurious interest rates (a cap of 8% is being advocated).

Jonathan Freedland explains.

The comments thread, as someone within it points out, is unfortunately primarily devoted to mocking a good idea because it comes from religion. Grauniad readers generally don't like religion.
