Nterest-based financing of house and car is prohibited : what if the Islamic financing is more expensive ?

Fatawa Question

General, short : someone may say that Riba was prohibited to prevent usurping of the poor by the rich. If the claimed "Islamic" solutions to home financing are much more expensive than mortgage, wouldn't that be against the wisdom of prohibiting Riba ? 2. More specific, long : what is your opinion in purchasing a home via : a) An "Islamic" financing system. For example, as explained in http://www.lariba.com/financing/home-mail.shtm#Overview : b) Another "Islamic" system if you deem the above site "un-Islamic". If you know specific web sites that you recommend, please suggest. c) Regular mortgage if it was much cheaper than all the "Islamic" alternatives.
