In Cairo, President Obama promised to ensure Muslims could fulfil "ZAKAT." What is "ZAKAT"? And what are the implications of this promise?

  • Well, it's been a year since this speech.

    Any evidence to rebut this? How have the President's actions influenced your thoughts on this?

  • Zakat who recieves it:

    1. The needy

    2. Extremely poor

    3. Those employed to collect

    4. Those whose hearts are to be won

    5. To free the captives

    6. Those in debt

    7. In the way of Allah

    8. Wayfarer

  • The seventh category is THOSE FIGHTING FOR ALLAH, meaning people ENGAGED IN ISLAMIC MILITARY OPERATIONS for who no salary has been allotted in the Army roster. They are given enough to suffice for the operation, even if affluent; of WEAPONS, MOUNTS, CLOTHING AND EXPENSES.

    Sound like peaceful charity?

  • Support islam: Be a polygamist. Beat your wife. Kill you daughter for premarital sex. Make your wife walk around in a garbage bag. Death threats for free speech! Assasinations! Terrorist attacks! Death penalty for gays! Death penalty for becoming a Christian. Sharia law! Hate the jews!

    Obama is a nauseating appeaser and an insult to the United States of America.

  • i live in the UK, and im TERRIFIED for the world now we have a lying, scheming muslim running the most powerful country in the world.

    dont tell me he is a christian, because thats a lie, and outright lie.

    the koran tells muslims to lie, cheat and connive their way into their enemies ranks, and thats exactly what he has done.

    and now the world is fucked

  • Almost all zakat is given to the poor and needy.

    Making something good look bad is a sign of weak character.

  • Zakat backs Terrorists. Why would the President back that if he is a Christian?

  • I can claim to be James Bond but it doesn't mean I am. Al-Qa'ida can claim all they want to be fighting in the way of Allah BUT they are not. They are a terrorist organisation which has nothing to do with the true teachings of Islam.

  • Secondly, the category number 7 (ie. In the way of Allah) does not count these terrorists. Al-Qa'ida are NOT fighting in the way of Allah. Just because they claim to be, does not mean they are. Absolutely NO Muslim country and government endorces al-Qa'ida so they are not entitled to zakat.

  • Firstly zakat is not a tax. Taxes are based on income, where as zakat is based on savings. If a person has an income of $30,000 a year but only manages to save $5,000, they only pay zakat on the $5,000 and even then it's 2.5% of $5,000. If they can't save anything in a one year period then no zakat is due.

  • Obama has committed Treason in aiding the enemy during wartime...he knowingly or unknowingly by confession, in public address, in the Office of President & Commander and Chief in the country of Egypt creased opportunity in a point of premises expressing his desires to coherently inspire the funneling of monies to the enemies of the United States of America.

  • Fulfilling his muslim affliliation

  • power to islam

  • zakat is convered in Sharia laws and so is deception which is another form of Jihad (taqiyya) and/or to deceive us by ommission (kithman).
