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.

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.

Please inform me which part of my comment you imagined to be racist.
Mostly the beginning. But also the end
"It's not racist if it's true!!!!"-ass comment.
Is terrorist what you call all brown people?
Those who do not possess enough wealth to meet their basic needs.
Individuals face financial hardship but have some resources that are insufficient to cover their necessities.
Individuals employed to collect, manage, and distribute Zakat.
Individuals who are inclined towards Islam or those whose hearts need to be softened towards the Muslim community.
To help free individuals from slavery or captivity.
Those in debt who cannot settle their debts with their current resources.
Individuals engaged in activities that benefit the broader Muslim community, such as scholars, educators, and those defending the Muslim community.
Travelers or strangers who are in need while away from their homes.
Seems bribery.
Bribery for what
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.
What's wrong with the word "terrorist" in this context?
