Why do muslim store owners sell alcohol, lottery and porno?

Buying and selling wine For Muslims, when something is made haraam, this means that thing is harmful to one’s health and contribution to the community. That also means Muslims aren’t supposed to encourage others to consume in any haraam, irrespective of who they are. Dealing with the alcohol trade comes under the haraam category. The Prophet Muhammad forbade people from all actions related to the wine industry, including pressing wine, drinking it, serving it, selling it or buying it. This severity is to stop the expansion of harm caused by alcohol.

So why do they sell this stuff if it is against there religion?

Here's a quote and a possible reason:

I live in Harlem and I have faced many Muslim corner-store and liquor-store owners – many of them from Yemen – about selling alcohol in the community. The excuses that I have heard are weak and unacceptable for a Muslim, excuses like: “The Yemeni Business Committee allows the selling of alcohol to non-Muslims…”

So I guess we are considered infidel's and they don't care about non-Muslims. I personally think they are Hippocrates and I'm not treated that well when I go into some of these stores. I can say that I know a few of the store owners who are friendly and respectful but for the most part they could care less about any American. Just here for the government handout.

I'm sure I will be called a racist about this but, I know when someone has animosity towards me.

What are your thoughts?

Why does anyone else do it? For $$$.

For the money,
Christians aren`t suppose to charge interest on money they lend to other christians, but they do, even ones religion takes a backseat when it comes to money.

Just because they're from the middle-east doesn't mean they're muslim or jewish. (but they probably are.)

Same as if you're from the U.S. or England you aren't necessarily a racist hypocritical asshole. (but you probably are.)

well that's kinda like asking why lots of Christians have sex before marriage when they are not supposed to,

they just do,

We do charge interest? Funny, I never have charged interest on loans. In fact, I don't usually even get the money back and I don't ask for it either so...dunno what "Christians" you are talking about.

I'll give the shirt off my back, but i'm keeping my underwear.

They do it because money is their god.

In my neighborhood, every liquor store is owned and run by Arabs. But they're not Muslims, they're Chaldean Christians.

Every nail salon I've ever been to is owned and run by Vietnamese, go figure?

I used to work for a Mormon couple who owned and ran a bar!

Because it contributes to the decline of non muslims.

Oh yeah, and because they can make money from it!

I'm sure you don't believe every single person with a muslim name who makes a living by selling un-Islamic things are actual practicing Muslims.

Also, maybe you need to look into the people who are actually running the alcohol, lottery and porno industry...especially the porn industry. Or do you feel it is too controversial to point them out?

It just goes to show that there are people of every religion who claim to be a part of that religion, but who don't practice what that religion calls for.

People who claim to be Catholics yet practice artificial birth control.
People who claim to be Jewish but who eat bacon.
People who claim to be Muslim but who drink alcohol.
People who claim to be ...... etc etc
It's the nature of humanity.

i completely agree
a very rare event i must say

..and then the whole religion is judged by the acts of people who are not even practicing the religion.

The answer is one of greed and personal choice and how an individual and or his sect can bend the basic rules of his or her religion to suit personal desires.

One of the best examples is something I saw just last week on the internet. It pictured several pictures of head-scarfed Muslin women sitting in various places with thongs and butt cracks showing above low-cut jeans.

Why ??


.... so I dont have to make two more stops !!!!


KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN !! ......... HIGH FIVE !!

In my opinion it is because they hate society, especially western society. I don't care how much you talk about God or history (religion) or how much faith you have - if you do not consider yourself a servant of God you are not holy. Now this comes into the debate of the new testament, the muslims are saying 'who is this Jesus man?' The one who teaches that you should be a servant of your neighbor because in that you are also serving God. So if you take literal action to show disrespect to people under the sun than you are not standing by the new testament, and that's why they give the excuse to go around hating everyone. I am scared they can set a curse, it is such a bummer that people can be so negative they harness up the evil energy and set a curse on someone, it would be nice to learn how to initially get out of it or turn it around somehow.
