That's an interesting grammatical convention you've adopted there.

I m sorry to say but u r totally mis-informative about Islam ........... Muslims not only BELIEVE in charity, but also Believe in forceful Charity (Zakat) which has to be given by every Muslim of sufficient earning, at the minimum of 2.5% of a person's profit in a time period has to be given, and if Not, it Has to be taken Forcefully by the Islamic Government that presides in the region. The additional charity (Sadqa) is totally apart from it, and is encouraged for ppl to give that also.

Muslim people are people, they believe in charity but people in general, some of them, does not believe in charity from their own greed. Pious people from all religion believe in charity. You seem to be a strange question. Muslims believe in charity, it is just that when a person (any religion) becomes greedy, they do not believe in charity.

I think you are very ignorant, first was your question which is why all terrorists are Muslims, and now this. and this shows how uneducated person you are.
we do believe in charity and it is one pillar of our religion which we call it Zakat, and it is a must for all Muslims depends on the income we get.
Islam like any other religion has good and bad people. so before you give such stupid question you should find out first the truth.

Not correct question, sorry.
Charity is the one of the pillar of Islam. At least 1 time per year you have to give zakat ( charity) from your income to poor people.
I think you better read something about Islam. People can find you ignorant about the subject

Don't believe in charity!! are you joking? where are you getting this from?
Ok, i will just give you one quick example to correct this misunderstanding.
All muslims are required to pay 2.5% of their income for charity every year - provided of course they are not elegible to charity and that is only a monetary example.
1 of 5 pillars of Islam (requirments) of being a muslim is charity!!

who is telling u all this? Charity is mentions as best thing/action to do in Islam. God says that the charity u give to needies, cools down my anger. so do give it off and on and once in a year is compulsory. then we have some occasions like on both Eids we do give a lot of charity in poor people and for your information that is compulsory too.
better u get guidence from some good reliable sources.

Actually, charity is one of the fundamental duties of Islam. You cannot not give to charity and call yourself a Muslim. They have a different method than we do, they calculate 2.5% of their yearly income after expenses, and give it to distribute among the poor.
