Also, it was not the "money changers" Jesus threw out of the temple. It was the "money lenders" - specifically, usurers, those renting money as though it were a thing in itself. Another wording that got changed from the original to hide that particular sin of man. Islam also disallows usury, and there are a few pockets of traditional Islamic banking left where usury is not practiced. There are fees for services, but there is no making money just from having money.
