Didn't want to derail the other thread but you mentioned ribah being a reason why you felt muslims were soft. Just wanted to make you aware of one thing , any country that engages in the stock market or Trades engages/comes into Ribah by default.
Thus it seems clear that Islamic Banking and Finance is virtually indistinguishable from conventional banking and finance. What makes it Islamic is “Shari‘a arbitrage,” which consists of “finding an appropriate [classical] Arabic name for the Islamic analog product” and insisting on using it so as to “justify and lend credibility to the Islamic brand name” (El Gamal, 2006, p. 20). Zaman (2008, p. 10) concurs in this assessment: “It appears that no matter how the transactions are structured by the [Islamic Bank], as long as these are made into “contract” documents, these are termed as Islamic.”
You want them to outright just say that's what they are doing rather then just call them extra "fees"?. This hasn't got anything to do with stocism but here's you answer.

The only way Ribah wouldn't exist in a country would be if it was a majority muslim nation who pay high taxes rate to cover any fee. Even then in a way I still feel it's too similar to Ribah.
