Re: Muslim donation to Israel
Muslim Queen, I have no idea what you are refering to? Let's stick to the topic at hand.
First, can anyone PROVE that companies are "Paying" Israel 12% of their profits? With an EGYPTIAN as one of the 10 largest shareholders? Why are Muslims willing to accept this "fact" as truth?
The answer is that Muslims from the time they are little are taught to hate Jews, and to hate Israel. There are 14 Million Jews in the entire world. Thats it. There are more Muslims in Karachi than all of the Jews in the world. Yet the Jews are somehow made to be the root of all evil in the Muslim world. Amazingly enough these 14 million people must be furiously creating evil night and day to so thoroughly enslave 1.2BILLION Muslims. Look at Israel on a map. It is a speck of desert. A tiny tiny little bit of land. And Israel is completely surrounded by HUGE Arab/Muslims nations.
The answer is that Muslims are masters of their own destiny. Don't blame the Jews. Don't blame wild conspiracy theories. Don't allow crap like this to perpetuate. Blaming the Jews is a convenient excuse for failure. What is the underlying message of this thread? " The Jews are so wealthy and powerful that every product you use, and every large company sends them money to keep Muslims oppressed." Talk about a defeatist attitude! Muslims are economically powerful, but they cannot quite figure out what to boycott or why, and then you post something like this and to some uniformed kid it sounds good. Now worst case, you stop a Muslim kid from smoking. OK fine.
But in the mean time you have convinced him he is a loser because the Jews control everything. But, I suppose blaming an enemy is a far more convenient excuse for almost everything. Really gets you off the hook entirely. What am I railing about? This pervasive sense of victimhood is self defeating. Everytime crap like this goes unchallenged, young peoples sense of inevitability increases. Why should a young Muslim man make good choices when he is convinced that every wealthy and powerful corporation in the world is working against him?
