Christian vs Muslim charity for the homeless?
We know of many Christian charities in the USA that offer services to the homeless. They pretty much force Christianity on the poor - you must go to services to receive a ticket to eat dinner every night or be present for prayers to get a blanket for your bed etc. Sure they will claim to not "force" religion on the poor but I am sure it is pretty hard to buck a system that is run this way when people are so desperate!
We refuse to donate to these places- not that we don't want to help the homeless - just can't accept the methods they use. Would rather buy a guy on the street a pair of shoes or give them some food (we have done both btw)
Why are there little to none as far as Muslim/ Islamic Charities? Do they exist? Are they not accepted by the United States of America or is it something else? I would like to know if they force their religion also?

Charity is one of the five pillars of Islam, and that charity does not require that the recipient be Muslim. In fact, an extension of tge Pillar of Alms is a social custom in Afghanistan called Pashtunwalli that views assisting someone in need as extremely honorable, regardless of the recipient's religion, nationality, or race.

Christian charities ask that you attend service to get aid. This cuts down on abuse of the system. Islamic charities.... require you TO BE MUSLIM in order to get aid.
