BS"D

About a year ago I was watching a National Geographic special called "The Haj" which followed three converts to Islam on their first Haj. One of them noticed that there was a nearby town whose inhabitants were very poor and needy. He was so moved by the Imam's rhetoric on "charity" that he went out and bought food and other things they needed, and had it delivered to them. They were overwhelmed, because (and I can't believe they let the announcer say this) NO ONE HAD EVER DONE THIS BEFORE!

Just think. Every year, millions of "peace loving" "charitable" Muslims, with a town of starving people just a stone's throw away (just putting it in terms they can understand), and not one of them had ever bothered to help.

Those people know NOTHING of real charity. All their charities are solely for the purpose of spreading their ideology, and the wars it breeds.
