Actually it is YOUR post which is full of crap and incorrect facts. I will expose your incorrect facts, and from this exercise, hopefully you will learn to be more careful when you accuse me of things, which you have done in the past before and now you continue to do.

If you're a poor high school drop-out kid, or only have a HS diploma and have to support yourself on a low wage job, it's difficult to scrape together the money to get a passport,

Please don't speak out of your butt.

A passport "costs" $100. That's it. You are telling me you can't make $100 working for kinkos?

All these ghetto kids save up money to buy expensive basketball shoes. You don't think they can save up $100? Minimum wage is about $8. That's 13 hours of work. Oh my gosh! How in the world can they work an incredible 13 hours!

let alone save the nearly $2000 it costs just for the plane ticket to a Muslim country.

What's up with the incredible numbers you are using? Do you think lying will help establish your point? Do you think using incredible numbers will show how my post shows a 'lack of knowledge'? Puh-lease. You are seriously ticking me off.

A ROUND trip ticket to Pakistan costs $1000. So your figure is double what it costs. I would know, because I routinely travel back and forth. Yes, sometimes it's $1300-1400, but you can easily find tickets for much less if you try hard enough. But it is not $2000, so stop blowing air.

So its $1000 ROUND trip. Considering the fact that you don't need a round trip ticket at all, that is about $650 or $700 we are talking about.

So in order to make hijrah, a 'ghetto kid' needs about $1000. And he might want another grand to sustain himself in the first few months. So we are talking about a net total of $2000. Based on minimum wage, he can make that much in less than two months.

Also, you need some kind of education to teach English in a foreign country. They don't just take anyone. My sis worked in Taiwan teaching English, but they only let her because she had a good education. If you don't have that education, those jobs aren't open to you.

Again, stop speaking without knowledge. Seriously. You have a tendency do to that, and it's irritating.

Somehow because you know about Taiwan, now suddenly you have knowledge about all Muslim countries?

In Saudia, you can make $40 an hour (!!!) just teaching English, even without having a high school degree. I PERSONALLY know of a high school student who did this. You don't need to work for one of the big companies in order to tutor English..there are Arabs who will hire you privately and pay you big bucks to teach them English, all based on your accent.

Forget that, come to Pakistan. You can make 50,000+ rupees working for a call center. I know this, because I have friends who did that. You don't need any high school degree to do that. You just need an accent.

So your whole argument is destroyed.

Poor people scrape up money to bury their dead, do they not? Surely they can scrape up money to make hijrah!

OK let's say that a person can't scrape up a measly $2000 to make hijrah. Then he can get a free ride from the US military. They station him in Iraq. Nothing prevents him from going AWOL and disappearing into the country.

There is absolutely no excuse or justification for joining the kaafir armies of taghoot.
