1. King Mohammed of KSA action to arrest his relatives for corruption deeds is ok, but whether King Mohammed going to spend what he gain from his relatives [jailed] on better life and enrichment of poor is the question of the World Social Scientists? Praying for King Mohammed's Conversion to Sect of Shi'a Islam warranties Allah's Grace for the people of the USA and KSA to make sure the intention of this jail task by the KSA King is pure for Allah and not to fill up the treasure locker of the palace to the heaviest weight it can hold funds!!!

2. Syrians, Sudanies, etc. are starving, they have not even pure water, millionaires are swimming in the sea, sit in spa and chat, have shower every day, drink from filtered water, cook with champagne, but these little kids drink polluted water, have no shower, have no tea to drink, as someone bombed their poor cottage, who was locked in an army copter, and could not even feel poverty, the taste of the polluted water, the head ache due to hunger, etc...If you want to donate the link is provided which goes to UN.

3. More than 2 m. people are experiencing a drought in N. Somalia. Lack of rain has led to wide spread crop failure and a decline in livestock production, so food insecurity is an emergency. Why not Rich Shi'a Muslims pay 10% of their left over income which themselves can spend on charity to these charitable Muslims? On the Day of judgment those who do not pay the "divine compulsory poor rights" which is in their wealth would be raised as smelly corpse.

4. Some world countries in 1970 had got permission to start developing Nuclear Power, now after 49 years, Iran which has not paid its Zakat for this mine of Nuclear assets which is from People's treasury and USA, UK, Europe, China, India, Middle East has faced with Bombing Crisis, fear from Nuclear outburst, or leakage, wars and children, who need parents and they are martyred or killed or disappeared, why? They aimed for rich economy, one gained the others did not or not at least as they thought, due to not paying their Zakat in the way of Allah, either by distribution of their education wealth, or by forgiving those bullied or by buying properties and waiting they increase in price, or by saving in banks with higher interests invested in pornography, or by extracting Oil shipping it and storing it in barrels to use just in case, etc. Which are all corruption...Worldy investment has prevented given divine charrity investment. 

5. Christianity, Sunni Islam and Buddhism lag Shi'a Islam in "Donation [Sadaqah]", "Khoms {20% equal tax for all […]}", "Zakat [? % on other […] assets]", the Chinese billionaire does not understand. 

​6. Christianity Law needs to be updated to Shi'a Islamic Law of Polygamy so the single mothers can share the rich men as husband.
