Ramadan started on Monday and most Zakat (mandatory Islamic charitable donations) is given during Ramadan.
ZAKAT FUNDS TERRORISM
Most Muslims, like most people are basically good. Unfortunately good intentions do not always guarantee good results. For example, Zakat, or Islamic tithing, one of the pillars of Islam, requires that one eighth of tithes go to “those who fight in the cause of Allah,” which often includes those most of the world would consider terrorists. Equally unfortunately there is little accountability and transparency in the distribution of Zakat funds, making it even more likely that Zakat will be used to fund terrorists and terrorism.
Because of the lack of transparency it is not always possible to trace Zakat that has funded terrorism, examples are not always easy to obtain. Despite the difficulty, however, there have been several recent examples including both 9/11 and the Holyland Foundation Terrorist financing case:
On May 20th, a Dallas Federal District Court Judge Jorge Solis sentenced five defendants, officials of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) to more than 145 years for funneling more than $12 million to Hamas, designated a foreign terrorist organization by our State Department. In a press release The FBI noted:
“For many years, the Holy Land Foundation used the guise of charity to raise and funnel millions of dollars to the infrastructure of the Hamas terror organization,” said Patrick Rowan, Assistant Attorney General for National Security. This prosecution demonstrates our resolve to ensure that humanitarian relief efforts are not used as a mechanism to disguise and enable support for terrorist groups.”
Pages 170 and 372 of the Congressional 9/11 report notes that:
“Al Qaeda and its friends took advantage of Islam’s strong calls for charitable giving, zakat. These financial facilitators also appeared to rely heavily on certain imams at mosques who were willing to divert zakat donations to al Qaeda’s cause.
Al Qaeda also collected money from employees of corrupt charities. It took two approaches to using charities for fundraising.One was to rely on al Qaeda sympathizers in specific foreign branch offices of large, international charities–particularly those with lax external oversight and ineffective internal controls, such as the Saudi-based al Haramain Islamic Foundation. Smaller charities in various parts of the globe were funded by these large Gulf charities and had employees who would siphon the money to al Qaeda.
In addition, entire charities, such as the al Wafa organization may have wittingly participated in funneling money to al Qaeda. In those cases al Qaeda operatives controlled the entire organization, including access to bank accounts. Charities were a source of money and also provided significant cover, which enabled operatives to travel undetected under the guise of working for a humanitarian organization….
….Charitable giving, or zakat, is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is broader and more pervasive than Western ideas of charity–functioning also as a form of income tax, educational assistance, foreign aid, and a source of political influence. The Western notion of the separation of civic and religious duty does not exist in Islamic cultures….”
Adam was not created on heaven.And he was not created as caliph,he was actually selected from the people who was living on the earth.Otherwise what is the meaning of existing of devil inside the heaven.
