It does not make them virtue signal if we look at what Islam teaches. As a matter of fact, being rich in Islam is a burden/test in its own way (we can see one reason why, as per this very article, and the fact that the rich will be ask

It's not just Hawking, you'll hear similar arguments from Dawkins, Harris, Kraus, and many more, and guess what, from a purely atheistic materialistic point of view, they're right. They have made the arguments like incest can

Maybe we should consider for a second that the law is broken (hint: it is).

As usual, these laws show the broken underlying system and then trying to patch it with more broken patches.

The fallacy that articles like this fall into is that they group all religions into a single group and treat them the same. There are many rich Muslims for example, and they don't feel the need to "lose their religion" after

> Saudi Arabia and UAE also have high inequality That's despite of their religiosity (to be more specific, against the teachings of Islam), not because of it.

Not sure where people do that. I know for a fact that in the UAE at least, leaving the car idling will incur a violation.

So what do we call the ideology that drives the murderous occupying state that exists today under the name of "Israel"?
