Quote: If we want to get real about the money that has the blood of innocents on it, then my income does as well because it gets taxed by the government. The money is then used in part to fund the military. Of course, all countries do that as well. I looked into living in "muslim" countries, but it seems I would just be paying someone else to hurt and kill muslims. We cannot get away from it, brothers and sisters. Our people are in trouble.
Asalaamu alaikum,
I'm certainly not accusing you of putting this in the "too hard basket" (though your words could very well be interpreted that way ) but there is a difference between the tax that is taken out of one's income and the deliberate funding and supporting of companies that support the Zionist cause.
I know I have no real say in where my tax money goes - but I have a definite say where I spend my net income.
I guess it depends on one's convictions. Many people refuse to buy cosmetics that are tested on animals not knowing that some of their tax money may be going towards government funded scientific experiments that use animals.
We do what we can.
