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”
