Yes all muslims pay tax. Do you think that any muslim in India can buy any product, any product, without paying tax? For that matter can any Indian buy without paying tax? Food, beverages, clothes, building matls, sports goods, cigarettes, alcohol, petrol, diesel, travel tickets, birth, death, marriage, you name it every damn thing is taxed in this country! So whether a muslim or a christian or a hindu or a buddhist or whoever, all those who are Indians have to pay taxes--indirect and direct both. It is hightime we Indians stopped being so idiotic like asking such stupid questions on forums like these. Basic issue is funding of religious schools; well for that matter many schools of other religions apart from madrassas too receive this funding from govt. The only problem is making sure that the purpose for which the funding is used is right. Sadly madrassas have earned a bad reputation. The solution here would be for forward looking madrassas run by moderate maulvis to open the madrassas for nonmuslims as well. Start inviting nonmuslim students to study Islam and then find out if the teaching is all about hatred toward other religions. I am sure this will not be the case. I hope somebody somewhere takes cognizance of my suggestion and moves this forward.
