I know America is generous. I don't have to be told. Every company I have worked for has an unbelievable amount of charitable giving programs.

There are two different forms of charity....that from individual people and that from gov'ts. Everything I have ever read has said that Americans as people are generous but as a gov't we tend to fall on the scrooge side.

The fact is that Muslims claim they are so big on charity, but the facts are the exact opposite.

I've never heard that comment.

According to their religion, Muslims that are able to are supposed to give 2.5% of their long term net assets every year to the poor. That's one of the 5 tenets of Islam, and its an individual thing (as opposed to country government thing).
