i am sorry i can not agree with you,saying that i am no perfect myself but like sister Houda said right is right wrong is wrong.
Living in a non muslim country has nothing to do with our daily way of life let me explain
Allah forbids certain thing like haram meat etc...but gave us alternatives even the most important thing in Islam like prayer has alternatives when faced with harship and allah knows best.
See it all depends on what you are after? driving a fast posh car or getting to your business using public or simple transport. owning a house or working toward heaven?.
Living in a rented accomodation is sometime better than owing thousands of pounds to the banks. you may end up paying up £700 a month on interest alone if you decided to buy one.
i remember in the 80s interest rates jumped to 15% and millions lost their homes see???
can you imagine one million customers pay £700 each per month that is equal=700 million pound a month which may easilly go toward weapons/cigarettes porn business gambling weapons that may kill your own brothers and sisters etc..
would you rather live in a rented accomodation or pay global companies that maybe sponsoring terrorism against innocent people???
think???
