And that’s perfectly acceptable. At the end of the day, we just have to make sure that any action or inaction on our part towards others is justifiable in front of Allah on the day of judgement.
By the way, the tax money thats being used for donation is not muslim tax money its multi religion citizens tax money. Even if its muslims tax money it can be donated to build non muslims places of worship. This expalains why God saved non muslim worship places See 22:40.
Why would God do something that he doesn’t want us to do? God has helped saved places of worship of different religions so how can it become a sin for us? ( 5:2 not relevant here as explained earlier.)
Because other roads are being used for other things- it’s an unavoidable thing- if you could make it so roads were specific and roads to temples were made only by the state and all other roads by someone else- but it is obviously only possible to a certain extent
You think that they don’t, but they do. Moral ethics are universal – gauge for wrong and right has been inherently placed in humans. Of course we can desensitize ourselves by repeatedly ignoring the voice of our conscience, but in general we know it very well.
homosexuality, theft, rape, murder, zina etc. which all are lesser sins than idol worship/polytheism.
Despite differing interpretations of this Hadith, yet no one interprets it into stopping anyone from praying according to their religion (whether polytheist or not). Therefore, this does not add to the discussion of polytheism that we are having. Coming to the Hadith, in the end it talks about lowest level of faith. In principle, a faith only reaches lower level when someone is in a position / power / control / authority to do something and yet he/she doesn’t do it accordingly. For example, In all ibadah, relaxation is given on this principle, if someone can pray standing and has power to do so, yet he chooses to not pray standing, this will lower his faith. However, a person who is required to pray standing but has genuine excuse like sickness to not be able to stand, but has no option other than praying while sitting, this will not lower his faith. Similarly, when a person has authority/responsibility over someone, then any act of evil done in front of him, he should stop that act with hands (like father stopping a son from an evil act) and if despite having authority a person only considers it bad in his heart only and doesn’t say anything against it or try to stop it, this will lower his faith and this is what this Hadith is talking about. We all have a certain domain of responsibility within our domain of action/daily life.In no circumstance, a person who has no domain of responsibility/authority over others, has any obligation like this.
