I'm sure they expect unreasonable amounts, since much of that money goes into the pockets of the people who work there, often times excessive amounts.  That whole 10% thing started way back when...you'd invade a town, take all their stuff and give 10% of it to the King.  It was never intended to be a religious offering, but lo and behold it's ended up that way.  Sure, 10%...I'll take that!\n\nThen they'll make you feel guilty about not giving enough, saying "bad things will happen to you".  \n\nI'd say pick a church that closely matches your beliefs (if you're into all that) and should you choose to give them any money, give what you can afford, not what they're telling you to give them.

I too have studied the Islamic faith and I must say some of it is very good indeed honesty dont eat before your neighbour to takes ones life is to take the life of all mankindetc. But pissing in your clothes etc is very very funny. Killing the infidel unless he pays you well that is laughable A muslims lets you live because you give him money . Whoops you leave the islamic following and you can be killed and the Muslim that does it  cannot be punished.

I've included links to the Criminal Code Act and to one state's Islamic Shari'ah Penal Code.  These should help get you started.

a muslim that have millions of dollars can have 4 wifes, bcz he can give them the same amount of money and everyone of the wifes can have many child, so is much people to pay the food. fo normal people (poor ones) they only can have one wife.

no they are not,\nAllah (God) say in the Quran: "Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your home. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity". \n\n\nhttp://www.lamblion.com/New08.php\nhttp://www.thewaytotruth.org/

Good question! \n\nIslam prescribes a system of Zakaat (obligatory annual charity). Islamic law prescribes that every person who has a saving that exceeds the nisaab level i.e. more than 85 grams of gold, should give 2.5% of that saving every lunar year in charity. If every rich person in the world gave Zakaat sincerely, poverty will be eradicated from this world. Not a single human being would die of hunger.\n\nFurthermore, Quran encourages rich people in several places. to spend their wealth on poor peoples other than the compulsory 2.5 % amount  E.g. 2:254 , 8:3-4 , 3:92 , 9:99 , 2:3, 2:195, 4:39, 13:22, 14:31, 22:35, 28:54 2:43, 2:83, 2:110, 2:177, 2:262-265, 2:267, 2:270-274, 2:277, 3:92, 3:134, 4:39, 5:12, 5:55, 9:5, 9:18, 9:60, 9:71, 9:121, 21:73, 22:41, 22:78, 24:37, 27:3, 30:38-39, 31:4, 36:47, 41:7, 47:36-38, 51:19, 52:40, 57:7, 57:10-12, 63:10, 64:16-17, 73:20, 76:8, 92:18, 98:5, 107:7\n\n“And establish the Prayer and pay the Due-alms and bow with those who bow“ \n(Quran 2:43)

Pension funds vs Provident funds:\nhttp://www.blonnet.com/iw/2001/12/16/stories/0716g055.htm\n\n"The main difference between a pension and provident fund is the following:\n\n    * Under a pension fund at least two-thirds of the final benefit must be paid as a pension for the rest of the pensioner's life. A maximum of one-third of the final benefit may be taken as cash.\n    * Under a provident fund, the full amount of the benefit available at retirement may be taken as a lump sum cash payment, irrespective of whether the benefit is calculated on a defined benefit or a defined contribution basis."\nhttp://www.pension.co.za/prod_employee_difference.asp

I'm not a Singaporean but we do have something similar to CPF in Malaysia, it's called EPF. From my opinion on EPF, it's a good thing that the government made it a mandatory for people to contribute because not only that employees has a saving for the rainy days, but employers are also contributing. But the shitty thing is that even though it is our money, we are restricted to a certain degree of freedom in obtaining back the money and can only be obtained when we want to buy house, pay for our unsponsored children's tertiary education, etc. Usually people will grumble on how EPF is overcontrolling the money (hence the allegations that the people inside EPF is swindling the money). Overall, it is a good idea but I hope that the CPF body in Singapore won't take the advantage of poeple's money and give some degree of freedom for people to use their own money. Well, it's just my point of view.

It depends.\n\nSome funds are used to support charitable causes.  The leagues given collective baragining agreement defines some of this.\n\nLeagues do try to avoid the perception that they are fining players to generate revenue or exectuve bonuses.

More and more people are studying Islam and funding the trurth.!\n The teachings of Islam states that the Muslim community should coexist in complete harmony and tolerance with people of other religious communities. The Qur'an prescribes that as long as the other communities do not oppress the members of the Muslim community, they ought to coexist in love and tolerance. This has been demonstrated by Muhammed (PBUH) through his life. Even the subjects of a Caliphate have no right to hamper the freedom of faith nor the freedom of worship of the non-Muslim citizens. The ruler is liable for the complete protection of their lives and property. The Prophet (PBUH) has taught that it is an unpardonable sin to be unjust to non-Muslim citizens.

I think religion. In Christianity you can get people to give you one tenth of their income plus more by pointing out some old pages from Malachi and threatening them with hellfire. In Islam, the going rate is 2 and a half percent plus whatever else you can give. In Hinduism there is a going rate and I would imagine it is enough to keep the priests in good health. With politics you can be voted out of office. With religion you are always in office.

Yes, you can, but not all of them.\n\nSome Mosque like the ones in Mecca and Medina, you can't enter even if you were starving to death, but they probably bring the food out for you.  outside of these cities.  Because if you are not Muslim, you are unholy, unclean, Nijis.  so your feet can't touch their holy city ground, unless you convert! then you become clean! \n\ndraw your own picture.  These are facts, I didn't make anything up.  They are known for their hospitality, and giving or providing food for those who needs it is not out of the ordinary.
