What are some viewpoints on whether it is considered a sin, or not allowed under Islamic law, to pay taxes which go towards the support of wars of aggression, or wars considered immoral by yourself or your interpretation of your religion?
For example, if you consider the "wars" the United States has conducted in Libya, Syria, Iraq, etc to be immoral wars of aggression, what are some viewpoints held by Islamic institutions or sects on whether you should pay taxes to a government conducting such wars?
I see a related question is here: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7098/what-is-the-islamic-judgment-of-paying-taxes-from-the-us however I am not asking about specific terminology such as Fatwa and Tawlli, just about general viewpoints which may or may not fit in with that terminology.
I asked a similar question in the Christian stack exchange here and received an answer which covered various movements and sects: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/39648/what-is-an-overview-of-different-stances-on-whether-and-why-it-is-a-sin-to-pay-t
Thank you
