This is a mock Boycott of Islamic goods. Sounds strange but believe you me, I feel it.
There was a discussion on Sunniforum on "Tales for Children", and there is one here "Where does Allah live" They are both connected as parents are wanting to know what to do for their children.
In both of the forums, the issue of cost has come up. The cost of Islamic School fees is one thing where we dont have much of a choice. But the cost of Islamic goods is another.
I take my children to the Islamic shops as much as possible and spend a lot of money there, but it amazes me that the cost of these items are SKY HIGH, WHY?
We walk into a non Islamic store and the same item (This time without the islamic appeal) would be less than half the price. WHY?
Story books cost an arm and a leg, WHY? an Islamic colouring book with 20 pages will cost £5 and a coluring book with 1000 pages will cost £1 in the Non Muslim Shops, WHY?
Halal Sweets cost a bomb, the same Haram Sweets are pennies, WHY?
Islamic Clothing is so expensive, we rather dress our Children in Kuffar clothing, WHY?
Fragrances in Harrods will cost £30 for 100ml bottle yet a copy of the same fragrance will cost £10 for a 5ml bottle, imagine if we had bought 100ml of the Muslim copy, it would cost us £500. WHY?
We get fooled into buying attar that cost £3 for a 6ml bottle when we could go to Selfridges and get the same/even better fragrance for £20 for a 100ml bottle. Do the Maths.
It so sad that Islamic products have copyrights and the websites that are there to guide us also have copy rights, WHY?
I understand in somecases that the cost of material needs to be considered and that they can buy in bulk, but what do all these Islamic nations do. What do the Kuffar do, they import and export goods. Why cant we do the same thing.
Should the prices come down or should these business people be allowed to drive in their Mercedes and BMWs (Not that I have seen any one, just a figure of speech)
It is cheaper to live the life of a kafir. How sad.
