One of the recipients of Zakat funds are islamic terrorists. Not a horrible idea in principle though, but I think it’s much more interesting that Swiss cantons have wealth taxes, because, you know, because Switzerland is a pretty decently working economy. In stark contrast to almost every muslim nation out there.
i’m between downvoting because it mentions “terrorists” (which are often just people trying to do right) and upvoting because it’s interesting information that switzerland has a wealth tax. i didn’t know that.
Maybe if your countries stopped bombing, invading us and murdering our children, we’ll be able to develop.
What country do you think I’m from? That may explain it for some countries like Palestine area, but it definitely does not explain why many muslim countries (where “muslim country” = >50% of inhabitants are muslim) have the weakest economies and the highest income inequalities.
IslamQA is not a good source. Even muslims debate on it.
What country do you think I’m from?
I was talking about europe/america in general. But you may not be from there.
Anyways i apologize for being combative.

You’re going to specify what you mean by muslim country. Do you specifically mean the arab world? If so, most if not all countries there have problems beyond just religion. Usually history of colonialism, [civil-]war or dictatorship, which unfortunately in my above point, most were caused or elevated more by those countries.
