Firstly No I would not buy products that were made by Child labour but Last I checked there were still quite a few American,British,Italian and other European companies that had all there products made in these countries.Case in point Gap,Victoria Secret,H and M,Marks and Spencer and the list goes on. It is human nature to point fingers and say that these people are wrong but the reality of the situation is if the very people who say no to products from these places stood up and said that there has to be accountability across the board things would stop happening. As to your ex Muslim statement if you had even common sense to understand what Islam was about you wouldn't be so keen to call yourself and Ex Muslim.Also quick point Islam is not anti free thinking it is people who are uninformed like you who believe it to be. Islam states learn before you follow not the other way around.

you're "holier than thou" suggestions-set does not help your arguement. i think of that a lot of persons dont be conscious of lots approximately carpet making in those international locations, they only seem at a quite carpet and purchase it. the certainty approximately newborn hard artwork is that even if that's "undesirable" from a western viewpoint, working in those factories is frequently lots extra suitable than the alternative for those little ones. If those young little ones didnt have those jobs working in those factories do you be conscious of the place they could be? they could be on the streets prostituting and begging. So the answer to the project isn't in basic terms to irradiate newborn hard artwork and don't something, no that does no longer be helping them in any respect. Its the style of problematical concern to remedy. I agree, those young little ones might desire to truly be dealt with extra suitable, so lots extra suitable. however the certainty is that its a multifaceted project that calls for an exceedingly creative and dynamic answer.

I tend to look into the products I buy. Not all carpets are made by children.
My husband wove carpets with his siblings when he was a kid. His mother made them do it to keep them out of trouble. They didn't go sell them...it wasn't like slave labor or something.

this is not entirely true. i know families who, yes the children help, but are NOT made to work as in a facroty. it's just learning the family trade after school like any/every child should do.

No. I can buy them cheaper here in Australia. Im sorry but, if thats how they want to treat their kids then, i cant support that by buying carpets from them.

Only if they were not made by exploited labour of any kind, and even then only if they arrived by air.

I don't buy them. I don't buy coke products because of what they treat their workers like in South America.

Why is this in the religious section? Shouldn't it be in a political section?
