How do Islamic tax rates compare to European or American taxes?
Modern tax rates in the United States and Europe are extremely high. However, the tax rates are established by legislatures in representative democracies and are subject to legislative change and the will of the voters. Islamic tax rates are somewhat lower than most modern economic systems, but many Muslims around the world are paying both Islamic taxes to their mosques plus secular taxes to their governments. The effective tax rate on Muslims is hefty.
