'The perpetrator of the New Orleans truck attack, Shamsud Din Jabbar was Muslim by 'religion' - the FBI is now investigating the attack as an act of terrorism [1].' He was driving a rented truck containing explosives, wearing full body armor and had an ISIS flag attached to the vehicle.

The pillar of Islam - 'zakat' - sometimes called an 'Islamic charity' that must be paid by all Muslims has 8 categories for expenditure - one of which is 'the cause of Allah' - jihad.


80-90% of Designated terrorist groups in non-Islamic countries are Islamic - but then what other belief system has a mandatory expenditure for military purposes?


Koran 9:14 "Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people"


Koran 9:60 As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara' (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause (i.e. for Mujahidun - those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise.

This title really struck a chord with me. It brought back memories of a time a few years ago when I was on a train, and a group of people started a loud, aggressive argument. It wasn't necessarily about religion, but the sheer intensity and the feeling of unease it created was palpable https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/bitcoin-beachside-mansion-and-mercedes-benz-qld-man-forfeits-more-60 Everyone else on the carriage just sort of shrank into themselves, trying to become invisible. It felt like this oppressive cloud had descended, and it took a while for the atmosphere to return to normal. It’s a strange thing how a single incident, even if it’s not directly impacting you, can shift the mood for so many people. It makes you wonder about the ripple effects…
