The mosque near me is literally handing out food

To anyone who wants/needs it or just to their members?

It explicitly states to anyone. It's fake good will so they can set their roots down.

It's fake good will so they can set their roots down.

Yep. PR stunt. Charity doesn't mean the same thing to Muslims as it does to us.

For us, charity means giving to those in need. For Muslims, charity is giving from and to fellow Muslims. Nowhere in the Koran or ahadith does money ever flow from Muslims to non-Muslims. In fact, it's an insult to Allah for a Muslim to give to non-believers what Allah gave to him (Koran 16:71).

Muslims are told that we non-believers are sub-human and they're to be ruthless towards us (Koran 8:55, 98:6, 28:86, 48:29). Sharia (Islamic law) states that giving zakat, or alms, to a non-believer is not allowed (Umdat as-Salik wa 'Uddat an-Nasik, h8.24). To give charity to disbelievers is considered a waste since we're are going to Muslim hell anyway (Koran 66:9, 9:73, 56:92-94, 4:56, 40:71-72, 22:19-22).

The highest deed for a Muslim is fighting in the cause of Allah, not charitable acts. Sahih Muslim 1:153

I wouldn't eat that food.

Muslims are told that we non-believers are sub-human and they're to be ruthless towards us

Coincidentally in the Talmud, Jews are told that we non-Jews are subhuman and they're to be ruthless toward us

The big differences: Most Jews don't adhere to the Talmud, it doesn't replace the law of the land they inhabit, they aren't commanded to force the entire world to become Jewish under pain of death, and they are allowed to openly announce leaving the faith or not practicing it or adopting another, without being tortured to death after having to watch their family be raped and slaughtered.
