    Acts 4:34-36

    “For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need.”

    They mean this Christianity, right???

    Ha… this is an obligation in Islam. I rather my tax dollars help the needy than help my nation and or other nations bomb nations.

      this is an obligation in Islam.

      Obligation doesn’t mean they’ll ever apply it. They only ever mention such when it’s convenient, to make themselves look like better people. All Abrahamic religions are this way(doesn’t mean any other religion’s any better either). I live in a muslim country, it’s just another tool of the state & the ultra rich to control people.
