Jihad Watch has previously reported on two other incidents of this, one on April 1 and one on April 7, as well as on April 11 an incident in which Christians were forced to make the Islamic profession of faith to get food aid.
EShaykh.com says that while one may give voluntary alms to non-Muslims, the obligatory alms (zakat) required of all Muslims may be given to Muslims only, for “the verse determining the lawful recipients of zakat (9:60) refers to Muslims exclusively, i.e. those poor and needy are Muslims, as well as the mu’allafat al-qulub i.e. new Muslims….{Alms are for the poor and the needy, and those employed to administer the (funds); for those whose hearts have been (recently) reconciled (to Truth); for those in bondage and in debt; in the cause of Allah; and for the wayfarer: (thus is it) ordained by Allah and Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.} [Qur’an] 9:60”
“Pakistani Christian Claims Christians Were Denied Food Aid Again in Facebook Video,” International Christian Concern, April 9, 2020:
04/09/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has been made aware of another incident in which Pakistani Christians were denied food aid amid the COVID-19 crisis. This marks the fourth incident ICC has documented since Pakistan was place on lockdown by authorities seeking to combat the pandemic.
According to a video post on Facebook, Christians were denied food aid on April 2 in a village situated on the Raiwind road, near Lahore. A local pastor, who wished to remained unnamed, confirmed the incident when contacted by ICC.
In the Facebook video, a young Christian man claims that a local mosque committee distributed foodstuffs on April 2 to deserving families. However, the management asked the village’s Christians to leave the mosque compound because the food aid was meant for only Muslims.
“If this is the situation, then what are the arrangements for Christians?” the Christian asked in the Facebook video. “Who is going to feed them? Are we not citizens of the same country?”
“Denying food aid and discriminating among citizens is a crime,” Aftab Hayat, a Pakistani NGO leader, told ICC. “Christians often face discrimination and are victims of religious hatred. However, the situation for Christians in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis is alarming and becoming worse. Therefore, the authorities must take note of the developing situation.”…

Islam, as a corporate body, does not give charity to kafirs.
From the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas: Mohammed said, “Tell them that they have to give sadaqah (charity) that is to be taken from their wealth and given to the poor”: “It is not permissible to give any part of zakah to a kafir, whether it is zakat al-fitr or zakat.
Al-Malik, al-Layth, Ahmad and Abu Thawr said: ‘They (i.e. the kafirs) should not be given it.’”
The Pak government is denying the right to live to non-Muslims. There is lots of food in Pakistan. They can produce up to three crops in a year.
Shrikar says
The situation of Hindus too is bad in Pak. And what’s worse is that this rogue Islamic nation lectures India on secularism.
gravenimage says
Yes–Pakistan persecutes Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians–all non-Muslims.
mortimer says
The purpose of Islamic charity (zakat) is to support and promote jihad. Since supporting kafirs doesn’t further jihad, giving charity to kafirs is not part of Islam.
– K. 28:86 says: “Lend not thou support in any way to those who reject Allah’s Message.”
However, Mohammed gave bribes if people did what he wanted.
gravenimage says
True, Mortimer.
This is also intended to force Christians and other Kafirs to convert to Islam lest they see their families starve to death.
God, I hate Islam.

These denying Pakistanis know better than the Pakistan mullah who couple months back “The Christian’s and Jews are believers too.”
Battle says
(Typo) Christians
Westman says
Murder by starvation, in the name of Allah, carried out in Pakistan. There, “the religion of peace”, illustrates that its fundamental propaganda to the world are lies. No unbeliever has intrinsic value to Islam.
Tony Naim says
Dhimmitude and its derivatives ( al wala’ wal Barra’, jihad, possessions of the right hand) is the source of vicious discrimination, prejudice, inequalities in Islam. Allowed to thrive Under the neglectful watch of the west.
Dhimmitude is religious apartheid.
It is the source of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
If not abolished, Dhimmitude is coming to America.
The epicenter of this ideology,( and the epicenter of global terrorism according to the Egyptian Islamic scholar Sayed Al-Mukni) is the AZHAR university in Cairo.
Al-AZHAR still adapts the text of ibn Al-Kayem Al-Jouziya (the father of Dhimmitude) in its curriculum and standard Islamic dogma, rejecting any intention to reform !
Tony Naim says
Millions of Muslims immigrate to Europe for a better future , supported by billions of Euros from welfare states on the other side of the continent.
They immigrate to America where they enjoy equal opportunities and equal rights. ( one of their sons actually became president- twice)
Yet, not one stupid policy maker in the State Department can formulate a damn policy to abolish Dhimmitude in the Islamic world, much less to recognize it as an ideology of hate, no different than apartheid.
In the eye of history, stupidity can be extremely costly.
Aussie Infidel says
Tony, Agreed! The same is true of Australia and every other Western country. Our politicians are like mushrooms. They remain in the dark and thrive on bullshit! And Islam intends to keep them that way.
gravenimage says
Tony, some US states have specifically outlawed Shari’ah law.
And sadly the only way to abolish dhimmitude in the Muslim world would be to take over the entire Muslim world–I don’t think there are enough Infidels in the whole world to do this.
Tony Naim says
Forgot to mention “ takiyya” as one more derivative of Dhimmitude.
Aussie Infidel says
Islam is a selfish, hateful creed which rejects any idea of the Golden Rule.
Quran 9:60 says essentially that zakat is only for Muslims and the cause of Allah.
Quran 28:86 tells Muslims to not help the unbelievers.
According to the Sharia, “It is not permissible to give zakat [charity] to a Kafir”, (Reliance of the Traveller, h8:24).
abu taleb says
And it is an obligation to extort from the People of Books (and kill the rest of the kafirs)
abu taleb says
Recently, in a province in Indonesia, the local Social Welfare Department required that the recipient of fund must be muslims because the fund came from muslims’ zakat (donation). It was according to shariah law.
So, according to shariah law, muslims are supposed to only help other muslims (if they help), not the non muslims. That is the religion of Allah. LOL
wayne says
that’s got to be the biggest joke I’ve heard for a long time
jCotrim says
Islam = Racism + Apartheid + Imperialism
Marigold says
Thankyou Robert,
I wonder if Prince William is aware of how the Pakistani Muslims are trying to starve their Christian compatriots as well as everything else they are doing to them.He is interested in Pakistan having been there not so long ago.
Lisa says
Islam is an ideology of hatred and misery. It has no future because it is permanently stuck in the years of Muhammad. The last vestiges of decency and democracy that are left in the world should be on full war time alert! The people know it but the mps seem to be completely oblivious.. it is so so frustrating..
Alexander Petzinger says
I actually spoke with my Pastor friend in Raiwind City, Pakistan earlier today (June 5th 2020) and he told me himself that he and the other families in their Christian colony are denied aid. The muslims “aid workers” required that they confess mohammed as the Prophet otherwise they would get no food. I haven’t been to Pakistan yet but I follow closely how the Christians are treated there (slavery, discrimination, victims of the horrible “blasphemy” laws, sex trafficking , etc). Probably the only countries that rival Pakistan in its backwardness is communist China and North Korea, and the “People’s” Republic of China is only as wealthy as it is is simply because foolish and greedy wealthy Western elites enabled the PRC (I am an expert on China). Pakistan is just another basket-case of a country that parades as a country run by the Rule of Law (which is only exists because of Western Christian values). It just further exposes the hypocrisy and blindness of the Left and ridiculous “human rights” organizations like CAIR. CAIR and the muslims actually don’t CARE!
