They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend. Say, “Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.” 1
just like christians and the good samaritan - they know it’s part of their core beliefs but… ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ they choose to keep giving money to anyone but the ones who truly need it.
why is it so hard for believers to actually hew to the values their beliefs are built around? so strange… it’s like, they believe in an all powerful deity but somehow think he won’t notice them ignoring the needy?
and it’s not all believers. goodness knows. but so many…
If you’re basing on Saudi Arabia or UAE, please notice that you’re basing on a country that is pro Israel, meaning literally invaded.
I’m not differentiating between any of the nutbags’ devotion to their invisible friends.
pro, anti, militant, orthodox, it’s all bullshit and doesn’t need further investigation.
if people would stop listening to their invisible friends and actually care for one another as neighbors, 99% of the issues driving world conflict would evaporate and leave us to focus on the things that are real threats, like climate, AI, equality etc.
but no, jamal and isaac and billions of others are too fucking obsessed about what THEIR IMAGINARY FUCKING FRIENDS THINK SO THEY GO 'A MURDERIN.
they don’t even care what their own holy books said. what their own prophets said. religion can build cathedrals and mosques, gorgeous, but it can’t stop pitting one pile of ants against the others, and as far as I can tell, it’s never going to stop until the species grows the fuck up or destroys itself.
give money to the poor any day. giving it to a church, temple, mosque etc., is just ignoring the truly needy.
I know right?

Are you using “Tu Quoque” here? basing on a “Hasty Generalization” I assume ?
