Comment on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid

  I’m actually Sikh, but I would assume that Muslims, Christians, and Atheists alike, also share basic human values like don’t give money to companies that use child labor, sell weapons to terrorits, encourage dangerous addictions, etc. I don’t really care if the ETF is targeted towards a specific religion or not. My main gripe would be seeing their stock exclusion list for haram stocks are based on generic human values and not banning companies that sell pork for example.

  I did a bit of research online and think EVIF might be what I’m looking for.

  Maybe using the word Halal and Haram was confusing since those are Arab words so mostly used by Muslims and Christians.

    I would say that if you eat chocolate, drink coffee or use any technology you most likely give money to companies that indirectly use child labor or poison the planet so all those indexes mean nothing to me. My reply was ironic, sorry for that.

      Hey, this is called the Nirvana logical fallacy. Just because I do other unethical things in my life, that doesn’t mean buying an ethical ETF instead of a normal ETF is useless.

      For example, using the Nirvana logical fallacy, I could justify not going to the gym today because I already ate unhealthy food for lunch. It is impossible to be live a perfectly healthy life, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t focus on trying to be as healthy as possible within the confines of what we are willing to sacrifice.

      Same thing goes for living an ethical lifestyle.

      Hope this helps!
