Zakat itu selain emang bisa dipake unt ngebantu orang miskin, bisa jg diembat oleh yg ngurus zakat. Selain itu, zakat jg bisa dipake unt biaya berjihad di jalan auloh atau unt melakukan Islamisasi, yaitu ngebeli orang pake harta spy masuk Islam.
Jadi ngasih zakat itu ga hrs merupakan perbuatan yg baik kalo kita pake standar umum. Tp nurut standar Islam, udah tentu tiap ngasih zakat merupakan perbuatan baik yg dpt pahala dr auloh biarpun zakat dipake unt ngebiayai Al Qaeda, Taliban, FPI dll dlm rangka berjihad di jalan auloh. Yg jadi pertanyaan adalah orang Islam itu make standar Islam atau standar umum dlm menilai perbuatan seseorang? Udah jelas standar Islam dan standar umum itu berbeda. Lalu, knp standar Islam bisa beda dgn standar umum, terutama dlm hal2 kemanusiaan? Hehehe... ga ada seekor muslim yg berani jawab, bukan? >________________________________ > From: item abu <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 7:25 AM >Subject: Re: [proletar] Re: Arctic Muslims' (Jadi "arra_s" nggak bisa bantah >item abu......) > > > >Hehehe.... apa ada seekor muslim yg bisa ngebantah bhw ngasih zakat unt biaya >jihad ngerampok dan ngebantai itu adalah perbuatan bejad? > >>________________________________ >> From: Bukan Pedanda <[email protected]> >>To: [email protected] >>Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2012 2:45 AM >>Subject: [proletar] Re: Arctic Muslims' (Jadi "arra_s" nggak bisa bantah >>item abu......) >> >> >> >> >> >>Dan tetap saja "arra_s" yang termasuk manusia paling dungu dimuka bumi ini >>nggak bisa >>membantah apa yagn dikatakan item abu... >> >>Lantas dia pamer otaknya yang ssudah rusak dan jadi busuk, nista lagi >>menjijikkan. >> >>Saya kutip apa yagn ditulis item abu itu: >> >>Lu bisa bantah ga perkataan gua ini? >>"Ngasih zakat itu antara lain unt biaya berjihad ngerampok dan > >>ngebantai dijalan auloh.
