cant really comment on MAKS as i dont know enough about it.
it appears that anything other than ISLAMIC TAXATION is treated NON-ISLAMIC which is true for word play but if we see the issue pragmatically then all starts making sense. whether u call it Zakat or Social Security the objective is the same but the method different.
unless we have complete sharia in practice it appears vague to dismiss alternate methods to meet SAME objectives.
